Best Little Place on a Lake in Sandestin
by St. Louis MO
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
This is our 3rd time in this home and it is as lovely as the first. The street is quiet, as most in Sandestin, but the real highlight of this one in the little deck overlooking the lake in the back. Plenty of sun, but also plenty of shade; turtles, kingfishers, eagles and of course squirrels abound. The beds are comfortable; a large walk in closet in the back bedroom with the washer and dryer makes that part of vacation easy! The golf cart is great for all those little excursions within the resort bounds. Only good times here! Clean, bright, welcoming space. Sufficient start up supplies. Thank you so much!

Very large wonderful home in a quiet neighborhood!
by Linton IN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
This home was exceptional! It was very clean when we arrived and had no issues through out the stay. The home is very large and spacious. It has a putting green and pool right out the front porch and the house even had putters and golf balls so you can go enjoy that area. The golf cart was fabulous and is a must to have to get around the Baytowne area and to drive to the beach. It’s about a 5 minute ride on the golf cart to the Baytowne Wharf and around 8 minutes to the beach. Russell Vacation Rentals was great to work with and I will be using them again the next trip down to Sandestin.

This was the perfect place, especially with kids - everyone has their own bathroom! Close to everything you could possibly need and truly the cleanest place we have ever stayed. I saw reviews of the golf cart being slow and I’m not sure why that is because it was not slow. Highly recommend this place!

Seacrest Stay at High Point
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
This condo is decorated nicely. It is has a better view of the ocean than a lot of other units. We did have to call Russell Vacation Rentals upon arrival because my husband who is 6 foot 3 and 195 lbs could not open the patio door. We were afraid the handle would come off. Russell was so kind and accommodating. Luckily we got it open and just didn’t close it tightly. Some instructions for the dishwasher would be nice. I couldn’t figure it out so washed dishes. Loved our stay though, but unfortunately had to leave a day early because of Helene. That stunk. Also loved having the Tiki bar. Great food and drinks

by Ozark MO
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
2 adult couples. We stayed here for three nights before meeting our group of 10 here or our weeks vacation at a house on the beach.
Our second time to rent through Russell vacations. They are very easy to work with and very accommodating.
This unit is on the second floor, so be aware there are steps which isn’t bad was sort of inconvenient when checking in and carrying your luggage and everything upstairs.
The unit is very clean. We loved the deck that overlooked the golf course and the bay area. We are big pickle Ballers so we went to the Sandestin tennis complex and played Pickleball every morning.
We had an issue with the toilet and maintenance. Was there immediately and fix the issue.
The beds were very comfortable. It would be nice in the secondary bedroom to have had a nightstand and lamp on each side of the bed.

The Perfect Getaway
by Spring Hill Tn

Overall Comment
The home was beautiful and clean. With the personal golf cart and location, we rarely had to leave the gated community. We paid less to rent a whole house than we would have for a 1 bedroom hotel with no kitchen or sitting area. The correspondence was easy and they even called to confirm the day of. I rate the whole experience 10/10 and recommend Russell Vacation Rentals to anyone planning a trip to the beach. We already have plans to return next year!

Great Location and View
by Naples FL
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
The property is beachfront although the buildings are back away from the beach. The condo had a nicely remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. We had minor issues with the internet and burned-out light bulbs which were eventually addressed. Employees of Russell Vacations were extremely helpful.
Negatives: Floors were very dirty and the old sliding doors barely closed. These need to be replaced (this might be an HOA issue). The noise from the pool equipment below the unit droned on all night making sleeping difficult (might not bother everyone). We had not been to the area before and were surprised that many of the beaches are private property. We were told to leave one area even though we were outside of the private property signs. Not a problem in Naples. Beautiful views and scenery, but we won't be back to the area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, particularly the lovely view and time spent on the beach. Our only BIG disappointment was the referral to La Dolce Vita for bike rentals. Our advance reservation fell through and agents were not helpful. I think guests would be better served by referrals to local businesses. We wound up having an EXCELLENT experience with Coastal Cruisers.

Perfect, Family Friendly Stay
by Irvine NA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
My family + I had an amazing time here! The room is very nice + comfortable with a lovely view. It did not disappoint in any way, it was just as described and pictured. There's many food spots, activities, pool (a few steps away) and a lot more to enjoy. Plus, the beach is a short ride away. Also, the Russell Vacation Rentals team is awesome. Hours after departing Florida, my husband realized he'd left his wedding ring in the room. Already knowing the policy that any items left behind would be discarded, he immediately panicked. I hurriedly contacted the Russell Vacation team. Shelby quickly responded and informed me that the housekeeper, Genesis, had found it AND had already reported it to management. The property manager agreed without hesitation to ship the ring to us and the matter was resolved within a couple hours. We were and still are so thankful + relieved. And my husband is somewhat out of hot water (haha)! We highly recommend booking here for 10/10 service and a 10/10 stay!!

This property was perfect for my wife and I. Location was perfect could be anywhere we wanted to go in a matter of minutes. Property was clean and had all of the things we needed kitchen utensils.,Washer /Dryer etc. the convenience of the pool was great.. There were only two negatives about the whole experience a ceiling fan on the back porch would have been a great addition to the morning coffee and the internet was a little slow connecting at times but it was a vacation not work related so it was tolerable. Overall stay was wonderful weather was good again we loved the location and the cleanliness of the property. When definitely recommend this property to anyone and looking forward to coming back in the near future the check in and out process was flawless. 5 star for sure!

We loved this rental. The condo was beautiful, well kept, nice layout, nicely furnished. The patio was fantastic. The amenities in the kitchen were very nice. The garage underneath and the reserved parking space was just a flat out bonus. Using the fob to access the beach and parking garage was very convenient. The beach rentals wentvery smoothly, and because of the fob they were automated once we paid the first day. We will be back!

It was a nice place. It was in a good location. The only thing we found somewhat frustrating was the parking. There were a few times where cars from other condos were parked in front of our place and at times we were not able to park the golf cart in a spot because there were cars from other condos already parked in the spot where our golf cart was supposed to go so it could be plugged in. Overall, it was mostly clean. Just a heads up, we did see dead cockroaches in the upstairs bathroom closet carpet.

This is a beautiful, spacious and comfortable place to stay. There is so much room to unpack and put away your groceries.

Overall Comment
The condo was just ok. It was clean but it’s a very tight condo lots packed into the rooms. Biggest complaint is that I didn’t know we were on a public beach. Had to get up between 5:30-6:30 to put your personal chairs out so you had a spot close to the water. The chair rental guys didn’t set up until 8:00. They majorly need black out curtains in the master bedroom, very outdated curtains and some of the panes were missing. The tvs didn’t work properly in the kids room or master. The pool needs an upgrade. Did kill a cockroach the last night in the closet. Pros are it’s next door to a donut shop, a seafood market, two nice restaurants close by and a great jogging path.

The location is FANTASTIC!! The beach access is literally across the street. Also walking distance is a wine/cocktail bar and a cute little walk up for coffee & popsicles. There are two dedicated parking spaces for the unit - which is also nice! The house had all we needed: toaster, cooking utensils, ice maker, towels, coffee maker, iron, hair dryers, etc. The 4 bedroom/4 bathrooms were perfect for our 2 families of four. The only negatives we had were: the community pool was VERY hot, the trash truck came at 6:45am our first morning of vacation and on the last day of our vacation. The landscapers also came at 8am on our first day. The noise for being on 30A is VERY loud - so bring ear plugs! But that’s the price for being so close to the beach. Our a/c went out on the first floor and got up to 77 degrees - but the managers got someone out next day and had it fixed. The home has a lot of stairs - so be prepared to climb :)
Overall it was a very nice home and was a good value for the money!!

This was our first visit to Seacrest/Rosemary Beach area and it did not disappoint. This condo is in a prime location with a very short walk to the beach and immediate access to the pool. Peddler’s Pavillian is located immediately downstairs with several great shops and restaurants. Rosemary Beach shopping and restaurants are a short walk (maybe 3 minutes) and definitely worth checking out. The condo was clean and well laid out with plenty of room for our family of 5. All the appliance were in working order. Customer service was excellent. The check in code was not working, but their customer service was super friendly and got it worked out within a couple minutes. I can’t say enough great things about this condo and this company.

Overall the home was well maintained other than the washing machines. The primary suite washing machine had a horrible smell to it and appears to not have been cleaned out in quite some time. We took a towel and wiped out a lot of dark colored dirt from inside the door. Even with bleaching out the machine the odor remained and it even transferred to our clothes. I would not offer the washing machine as an amenity unless someone keeps it clean. I have a video if you’d like. The only other issue was the painters doing work on the house. Not a problem, but we did not know they were going to be there for 3 of our vacation days. They taped up over the door and we had to move the vehicles a few times for them to clean the driveway and garage doors. They also had clear view into the home upstairs through the windows which made getting dressed in the bedroom impossible.

We stayed here for a baseball tournament and the property was great! The pools were a fun way to end each day on the way in from the beach. The kids loved crab hunting on the beach each night. We had a team cookout using the community grills and set up a wiffle ball game on the beach... so much fun!
The condo was well equipped with necessities but lacked anything at all for beach equipment. It would be nice to have some chairs and sand toys available for use while there. And there were a few items that could sue some repairs from maintenance (knobs on the master bathroom tub for one).

The only issues we had were minor. It was a great place overall, but these suggestions would certainly make it nicer for the next visitors.
Mainly the fitted sheet in the master bedroom did not fit on the bed, so it came off every night when we slept. The pull out couch was really uncomfortable for my children. You could feel each coil underneath you when you laid down. It needs a foam topper. There were not enough pillowcase covers for the pillows either. Lastly, only two rolls of TP and two garbage bags were provided, which wasn't enough for a family of 4 for 5 days.

The house is beautiful and well furnished. The pool was great. However, the house sleeps 10 and only has 3 showers. The 2nd floor shower leaked into the first floor bathroom. We were unable to use the 2nd floor shower for 5 of our 7 day trip. The first floor bathroom which was very small ended up having a large piece of the ceiling cut away due to the leak. And it was apparently a recurring issue. It is a lovely home and great location, but the inconvenience was significant- particularly considering the premium we paid for a luxury home in that location.

Beautiful condo with an excellent location. The condo could use a little touch up paint and the sliding glass door is tough to open, but other than those minor things, it is pretty perfect. You have to wear your blue band at this condo the entire time to get in and out of the gate to the beach. I would stay here again.

Outdated but good location
by Cleveland TN
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Overall Comment
Pros: location- 2-3 minute drive to the beach, just down the street from several restaurants. Pond right out the back door made for a relaxing view while drinking coffee in the mornings. (My husband fished in it but never caught anything) My 6 and 7 year old loved feeding the turtles in the pond and playing in the large grassy “backyard” area. The layout was perfect for a family of 4 and 2 grandparents.
Cons: everything feels dated, which would be fine if it was only from a design perspective but unfortunately it’s everything. Doors- one bathroom door downstairs couldn’t be shut because it would get stuck every time, and the handle on the sliding glass door to the patio is almost broken from the door being so difficult to slide. Like other reviewers have said, the queen mattress downstairs feels like sleeping on a futon. It needed to be replaced a long time ago. The golf cart got a flat tire after two days of us being there. It took a day and a half to get it fixed so that wasn’t fun. The rental company communicated with us well, but wish it could have been handled sooner.

This was a beautiful place to stay. The golf cart filled our evenings with fun activities for the kids at the Baytown wharf area. We decided to rent a car also and it was the right choice for more relaxed beaches (we went to snorkel beach and a few others). June is a very busy beach time here and we could hardly find a spot for our chairs at the beach on site unless you get up early and put your chairs out. The condo is decorated beautifully! One suggestion; we needed a food cabinet but a little re-organizing would make one available. Thank you Keena for helping to guide us with choices! We would definitely come back but at a less busy time of year.

We really enjoyed our stay at Happy Ours! Having the pool right outside your door was wonderful for napping little ones. The house was clean and well stocked. Make sure to bring your own beach towels and any food necessities as there was nothing in the fridge or pantry upon arrival. A small walk to the beach. There was a beach cart but we did not use it because it looked pretty rusted out and we didn’t want to get half way there and it break. Many restaurants within a 5 minute drive but nothing walkable at least with little ones. Overall a fantastic trip!

Easy in and out. Clean. Amenities good, particularly cooking utensils (much better than average rental property). The nearby Peddlers Pavilion is excellent. Only issue was that the AC vacilates ~5-10 degrees hot and cold from what you set it to. Maybe its because its in a condo? Can be a weird experience but not ultimately bad. Host was very responsive and clear.

A Perfect Vacation Home for Your Family Vacation
by Brandon MS
★★★★★ 5 of 5

Spectacular beach home for a family vacation located in close proximity to the beach and a close walk to Seaside in the early morning. The pictures on the website are exactly what you will see when you arrive. It was furnished with all the kitchen cookware and bakeware needed to prepare meals for your family. Loved the pool which was a bonus for the family after a long day at the beach. I would recommend adding a dustpan, having the rugs in the living room cleaned professionally, add a larger tv to the 2nd floor bedroom on the right and consider lowering the temperature on the 2nd floor. We were unable to adjust the temperature that was preset at 70 and the room on the right side was hot every night. The 3rd floor Master Bedroom was amazing!!! Loved sitting on the balcony at night listening to the waves and looking around at the views of the other homes/pools. Everything about this room was perfect. Temp of this room was set at 68 all days except the last night it was increased to 69 but still comfortable with the large ceiling fan. Even with the minor enhancements that could be done to the property, it was overall rated an A in my book and I would definitely stay at the property again and recommend it to my family and friends.

Sunset on Seven is an amazing place to stay. I’d give it 10 stars for cleanliness if I could. If you worry about cleanliness, then rent this place and worry no more! It was spotless and that’s one of my top priorities. The decor was so beautiful. The guest bedroom upstairs is huge! The master bedroom suite is also a nice size, as is the downstairs bedroom. The downstairs bedroom was perfect for my elderly mother. Each bedroom has its own bathroom.
The golf cart was amazing and we drove it almost everywhere- even to the Publix close by. The resort is well maintained and the street was quiet. We never heard our neighbors.
This place is a gem and I highly recommend it!

We’ve been a long time rental of Russell vacation rentals and overall have been pleased with our stay/rental, however the past 2 rentals have been just ok. Both times, we’ve had golf cart issues. This stay in particular, the golf cart was completely broken for the entire stay which really sucks bc that’s one of the things we look forward to using and the main reason for booking this property. Russel vacation was kind to reimburse for that issue.
The property itself was clean but could use some updating, especially the shower knobs. It was hard to pull out to turn the water on and the knob plate felt like it was going to come off. It also didn’t drain well.

Beautiful Getaway

★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
My wife, adult daughters, and sister had a plan to travel across the world and due to events out of our control that trip was canceled. We were bummed of course, but the beautiful beaches of the Emerald Coast, combined with the perfect location of Sea Dreams #5, definitely eased the pain.
This rental is ideally located between some of the popular small towns like Seaside, Rosemary Beach, Grayton Beach, and Alys Beach, which allows you to visit the hustle and bustle, (it was spring break) but then escape to your private beach to relax before getting ready to go out again and hit one of the many fine dining establishments in the area.
Sea Dreams #5 is a well appointed, as advertised, rental property. The location is amazing and the views and sound of the ocean lapping the coast is right out your backdoor. Prior to our arrival, the manager of the property let us know of a maintenance issue they had discovered. We worked around it and they were accommodating in making it right. Everything that could have made this trip better, (weather, spring break, etc.) were all out of the control of the managers of this property.
If anyone decides to come during spring break, you will endure extremely busy traffic, extremely busy restaurants, and an insane amount of kids from 12-17 that think they own the place. However, despite all of that, the rental property was ideal. It was located right between the madness of the busiest areas and simply sitting in the backyard or walking down the staircase to the private beach let any stresses or anxieties about the crowds melt away.

Saw the largest cockroach and glad to have killed it. Lock combination changed by a software update but glad we were able to regain entry by calling the management company.

Thanksgiving vacation 2023

This is the second year that we’ve stayed here. Great location and quiet area with easy access to stores, shops and restaurants.
The house was noticeably cleaner than previous year. The golf cart is a plus in getting about in the neighborhood. The new living room furniture was much more comfortable-thank you.
All of the bed mattresses are in desperate need of replacing.
We hope to continue our Thanksgiving tradition.

We have been coming to Sandestin for a very long time. This was the first time to stay on Audubon. It has everything you need to feel at home. We would definitely consider staying there again!

My husband and I along with our adult children, visited the Sandestin area for the first time. The home we rented was impeccable, tastefully deocrated, in great proximity to everything, and extremely comfortable. Nothing was lacking. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
