- A starter supply of bathroom tissue, soap, and paper towels is provided. During their stay, guests must provide additional paper products and household supplies. The guest is responsible for the supply of laundry detergent.
- Bed linens and towels are provided. After the guest uses the supply, they must be washed for the duration of the stay. Guests are to bring beach towels.
- Wireless internet/ TV access is provided via cable. The functioning of the internet access is dependent upon the cable companies, we will do our best to help but in most cases if the internet is not working we would have the guest call the cable company as they need the cooperation of the occupants of the property to resolve issues.
- Condo complexes are not the same as hotels; there is no front desk that can assist guests. However, we are five minutes away and happy to help.
If the condo has a problem, guests are expected to call or email us at the beginning of the stay with all issues they may have so that we can assist or correct them.
If repair or replacement of condo contents is warranted, we may have a repair company come out during your stay at the condo. Access will need to be available to Beach Condos In Destin employees, and any repair company required between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. and after hours for any emergency repairs that somebody may need to make. Guests are expected to be kind to these rare inconveniences and work with us to obtain a solution.
We try our best to avoid problems, but they occur, and we will need your assistance and patience. If you find any issues with your condo, you must call us as soon as you do
Since you have booked your destin vacation thru airbnb you will pay airbnb directly and they will pass along those funds to us.
Please be sure to reference your cancellation policy for this property within the airbnb app.
Check-In/Check-Out: Check-in time is any time after 3 pm CST, and check-out time is any time before 10 am CST. This is important for our cleaning crews and the next set of guests. In rare cases, there may be an issue that could delay check-in until 5 pm. If this occurs, we will notify the guest as soon as possible. During the busy season, which runs from March through October, it is nearly impossible to accommodate any early check-in requests. Please plan to arrive at the condo on or after the designated check-in time.
There is a $50 fee for failure to return keys.
Please be aware that Beach Condos in Destin and its employees are not responsible for any items left behind by the client.

Majestic Sun Guest will automatically receive 1 parking pass, these cost $20 per vehicle and we can provide you with 2 for your stay if requested. Beyond that we will need to charge.
Please note the following parking guidelines: – Most of our properties cannot accommodate RVs or trailers such as boats and utility trailers. Parking is limited to single-space vehicles, and each vehicle must have a parking pass while parked at our properties (exception—Maravilla Cottages). – Guests are not allowed to park any type of vehicle anywhere other than a single-car parking space. – Golf carts must be parked in a parking space and may not be plugged in by an extension cord to the condo. However, if you are in a private home, you can bring an extension cord and charge an electric golf cart. – Houses and townhouses also do not allow parking of boat trailers or utility trailers unless they can be closed off in a garage.
Many of our condos are pet friendly. Our guests are required to have their pets well groomed, and well trained before bringing their pets to our accommodations. Pet areas are established at each complex. Feces must be bagged and disposed of in outside dumpsters. Condo Association rules require $100 fees for failure to properly dispose of feces. Walk dogs in the established pet areas and always be prepared with a bag in hand ready to manage droppings to prevent fines. Condo management personnel will expect you to be carrying a bag when you are out walking with your dog. Dogs are not to create a nuisance situation for other guest. We ask that you be prepared to provide a copy of the most recent vet check up documents should the need arise.
The person making the reservation is responsible for instructing all members of their group on this requirement.

Beach Condos In Destin is not responsible for items left behind. Please do your very best not to leave items behind in the condo. It always takes over 1-2 hours of time to find, pack, address and take to the post office to ship items back. That can be excessive for our small staff. If we have to ship a item back to you, we will charge $25 plus the cost of packing, shipping and insurance to ship the item. Please try your very best not to leave any items behind.
Do not leave the balcony door open this creates a wind tunnel which will cause the front door to slam shut which can hurt guest if standing in the way. It can also cause the air conditioner to freeze up resulting in malfunction and costly AC maintenance.
During the summer months especially we often get a seemingly peculiar call. Guest check in and bring a large number of items to put into the fridge. Unlike at home, the fridge is empty upon check in and air takes a considerable amount of time to cool all items at once. In your fridge at home, it uses stored items to assist cooling new items.
We often get calls with guest thinking the fridge may not be working. The appliance repair company does not work on weekends and for just a service call to visit it cost our owners $170 regardless if there is a problem or not. We encourage guests to bring a cooler for items you want to cool quickly place items that easily spoil in the freezer. It may seem silly, but this call happens about 3 times a week during summer at various units.
Also remind family members that the more often the door is opened the longer it will take the fridge to cool items. If the fridge is still not working well the following day, feel free to give us a call and we will call the repair company.
To prevent damage to the condo please follow the following rules:
- Shake out sand from clothing and towels before washing and drying. Sand will damage the washer and dryer.
- Do not leave the doors open while the air conditioner is running. It will freeze up and stop working requiring a service call.
- Do not wash colored beach towels or clothing with the condo linens.
- If something is spilled on sheets or linens during your stay please wash to avoid stain setting in, if the stain does not come out call us before drying the items. Drying a stain will set it in.
- Trash must be disposed of in the proper dumpsters or trash chutes. Do not leave garbage in the condo upon departure.
- Never leave trash bags outside the condo door or in stairwells. Fines of $100 per occurrence are applicable for failure to properly dispose of trash.
- The dishwasher and garbage disposal are to be run prior to departure. Do not leave dirty dishes, pots, pans upon departure.
- Beach Condos in Destin reserves the right to charge guest for additional housekeeping service due to guest’s lack of care or respect for privately owned properties.
