Now they are paying 2 workers to tell kids all day that they can't go in the hot tub which is located in the kids area at a kids resort. Make it make sense. It says no one over 14 on the slides but they don't enforce that rule.

I would like to start by saying, my family and I stayed at Splash 18 years ago when it was only 2…read moreyears old. Fast foward to June 2026, the property as a whole is certainly showing it's age. For the most part, poor maintenance can be observed everywhere throughout the property, but it is 20 years old. We have stayed in older properties that look new compared to this one. Let's talk about the condo we rented. First off, we actually rented one condo but ended up with another, kinda wild if you ask me (DO NOT USE AVARI TO BOOK YOUR CONDO, if you choose to stay here). We ended up with unit 803E. We booked a 2 bed/2 bath, what we stayed in was a 1 bed/2 bath. 803E was absolutely the worst condo we have ever stayed in, no exaggeration! When we walked in there was a strong odor of stale cigarette smoke and sweaty feet. We turned fans and AC on and it helped eliminate most of the odor. Let me say, I am not expecting this place to look like my house but I do not expect there to be missing paint on the wall as you walk in, a dresser somewhat misplaced at the entrance, and furniture that looks like they pulled it our of the dumpster. ALL of the furniture looks beaten, scratched and mismatched (not a huge deal but not a good first impression). What is a big deal to me, is the excessive amount of stains on ALL of the furniture. I had to wash the sheets on the bunkbeds because we found fresh BLOOD on the sheets. Hope you have worked out really well before you arrive because you will need all the upper strength you got to open and close the sliding door that leads out to the balcony. This property was opened in 2006 and this condo looks like it, I would call it a dump but I have seen dumps that are nicer than this place. The best part, in the one bedroom, they had "thrown" things in there, you know like paint cans, a fan, ironing board and broken iron, and vacuum cleaner, leaving no place to store luggage in this already small condo. The bathroom door leading into the bathroom in the one bedroom is a pocket door, it too is hard to open and close (I actually got locked in once because the lock is a little faulty, after a few minutes I was able to get it open....don't lock the door and if you do make sure you have a cellphone with you). I almost forgot the best part...there was chemicals left under the kitchen sink, in a spray bottle, and we had a 4 year old with us. Not worry, I removed them and placed them on top of the refrigerator. If you decided to rent this condo, bring your pots, pans, baking sheets (we had to go and buy our own baking sheets) because what they do have is either not enough or you might think about putting them in the rust filled dishwasher to sanitize them. We did choose to sanitize and then wash them by hand when they came out of the dishwasher. Overall, if you are wanting to stay in the PCB area avoid this property, low to no maintenance and Unit 803E is not a place you want to stay. Hope this helps make your decision a little easier.

We are from Destin florida so we are not tourist/newbies to the Florida experience therefore we knew where to find the perfect "spot" for our wedding week. The area right around the property is less populated offering a little privacy, not dozens of people walking down sidewalks constantly. Just 3-5 minutes down the road shopping & grocery stores are available, liquor stores, gas stations. The beach view from tanlines was stunning, sunrises/sunsets were stunning. The home itself was spacious, allowing all of our guest their own little area to relax. The kitchen supplied all of the utensils we needed for cooking & grilling on the egg. The coffee pot being an old school drip was GREAT, my parents prefer that type of pot. The coffee pot in the kitchen upstairs and down stairs both leak and need replacing with the SAME STYLE PLEASE but also adding a keurig would be a nice touch too for us pod users! The living room area on the 2nd main floor is rather small but we love the open floor plan and the fact that the pool is located on this floor along with the kitchen and a master bedroom that we gave to my parents since we did not want them using stairs!!! I wish their was more seating for guest to all sit in the main living room area together but we made it work. Be aware that the sliding door leading to the pool is super annoying, before you slide the door you must push the button which is oddly located to the far left of the door, upon entry and exit the button must be pushed or this SQUEALING ALARM goes off after about 30 seconds BUT that is required per florida law, it's a valuable safety feature if you have small children, thankfully we had no children attending. We absolutely plan to stay at this property again, so please not than none of my stated "complaints" are sincere complaints simply listed information for anyone to consider. Holiday beach rentals (property management) was absolutely awesome, attentive, responsive as well as friendly and professional. We had a magical wedding week and this property was overall perfectly suited for our needs! A very cozy space. Clean bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen.. Linens were fresh and all supplied with a roll of toilet tissue and travel size hand soaps. DON'T FORGET to bring your beach towels, laundry detergent, trash bags, paper towels and a few extra dishwashing pods or dish detergent. Thank you Tanlines for accommodating our wedding week with our family & friends! Look forward to staying with you again in 2025

The master bedroom has a private door onto the patio which was super nice! The condo was clean, and spacious. Two big bedrooms, both with King size beds gave plenty room for us to spread out and move around. The biggest bonus was the QUEEN size bunk beds! There are two pools on the property that are beachside, and the beach is easily accessible. We like the fact that there are beach chairs right there for rent and you can also rent jet skis, parasailing, banana boat rides and boat trips to Shell Island. Across the street behind Alvin's Island you can rent golf carts. The condo kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook. There is also a full-size washer and dryer that was great to have to wash daily beach wear. I loved the fact that the parking garage was attached with a walkway, and you didn't have to attempt crossing the busy street with all your luggage and groceries. To access this condo, there is actually another elevator located on the west end of building. Made it easier to get to and from the condo. The main elevator on the 3rd floor at the walkthrough gets really busy at check-in and check-out time. Condo is close to great shopping, eating places and Pier Park. Right across the street from Shuckums. The only issues we had with the condo were minor for the most part. The blender in the kitchen didn't work. The shower head in the guest bathroom was made so that it would not angle all the way down and would spray out of the shower onto the floor if you opened door to get in/out. the guest bedroom REALLY could use some Blackout curtains. Alvin's Island is directly across the street and their lights stay on ALL NIGHT which makes it really bright in the bedroom. If you're a light-sensitive sleeper like me, you'll never get to sleep! I actually slept on the couch one night. The biggest issue was the sliding barn door closure on the kitchen closet. It is not secured with a guide on the floor and easily comes off the track when trying to open. It even fell completely off the track once and fell over onto my granddaughter. Fortunately, it did not injure anything or break. This is the most serious issue and really needs to be fixed/secured. All in all, the condo was great, our trip was great, and the weather was great. I would definitely go back to Aqua 511 again. Couldn't ask for anything better!

Our stay through our AirBnb was great. Loved the condo, loved the property, loved the host. But the…read moreone star review is for my interaction with the building manager Raymond. He had the hot tub shut down at 2pm due to a small shower and very distant lightning strike on our last day there. The rain lasted about an hour with no more lightning. After multiple hours of no rain or lightning (with sun shining) I got ahold of him directly to see when it would be reopened as we were planning our evening agenda around getting a little hot tub time in on our last night there and he seemed to be irritated and passive aggressive about the entire idea for some reason. I even sent him a screenshot of the hourly for the rest of the day showing great weather all evening. At this point he told me that as long as it looked good (which it did) that he would have the 6pm guy open it back up. We'll come 6 pm The weather looked even better with sun shining yet the hot tub was still closed. Come about 7, I checked again to no avail. The guy seemed like he was on some sort of weird power trip and I honestly think he chose to keep it closed out of spite after accusing me of "pressuring him" to reopen it!! Politely pleading the case for an amenity that we paid good money to use to be reopened in a moment that it clearly should be open would be a more accurate description. I wasn't hostile at all when talking to him which made the entire conversation even more perplexing (and laughable). I'm still chuckling about the passive aggressive tone when he accused me of pressuring him. It was a clear attempt for him to manipulate the conversation/situation. I think he was maybe angry at the start because someone on staff gave me his number so I could inquire after going to the main office prior and finding nobody there to talk to. Luckily another great staff member (the 6 o'clock guy) opened it up and saved our last evening there, while agreeing that there was absolutely no reason to keep it closed. He also informed me that Raymond never said anything to him about the hot tub as he told me he would, which again was laughable. What a silly situation. The whole situation had the feeling of him having the mindset he was doing the guests a favor by letting us stay in his building. Which is not how a guest should feel or be treated by the property manager. The owners and guests that we talked to all week were fantastic, but my interactions with Raymond tainted an otherwise wonderful trip and it wouldn't be very difficult to find a more friendly property manager with less of a chip on his solider. The whole situation was irrational.

I booked a property through Blue Swell Rentals in February 2026, for a June 2026 bachelorette vacation (over four months in advance). The home accommodated a large group, and I planned this trip carefully for 13 guests during peak summer season in 30A. A bridesmaid noticed me yesterday that the link to the listing wasn't working and that blue swell had pulled the listing from their website. It was sketchy. I had received no communication from Blue Swell so I wasn't aware what was going on. I reached out to Blue Swell directly to investigate. After initially being told that they saw my reservation in their system, but that they would verify with the manager and call me back, I received a callback confirming that the property owner had not renewed their contract with Blue Swell and that the listing had been removed. As a result, my reservation no longer existed. At no point prior to my call was I notified that my booking was at risk or had been canceled. I was then told there was a note in their system claiming they planned to contact me "that afternoon." I called at 1:30 PM and had received no outreach. Given what I later learned, I find that explanation difficult to believe. Their proposed resolution was either a refund or relocation to a significantly smaller property that accommodates only 9 people. This is not a reasonable alternative given that my original booking was for a much larger home and group. A refund at this stage, less than two months before peak season travel, does not come close to covering the cost of securing a comparable property now, when prices have increased significantly and availability is extremely limited. Blue swells let me know that the property owner is renting out the property independently and sent me his Vrbo link so I can see his availability. To better understand what happened, I contacted the property owner directly. I was informed that the home had been removed from Blue Swell's platform and that the dates I had originally reserved were rebooked approximately TWO WEEKS AGO!! This means that both the property owner and Blue Swell were aware (at least two weeks in advance) that my reservation was no longer valid. Despite this, I was not notified. I only found out by chance. Had my bridesmaid not caught the broken link, I could have arrived for my trip in June with no accommodations. Additionally, the property owner stated they could not contact me because Blue Swells did not release guest information without additional payment. That is an internal business issue and should not impact a confirmed customer reservation. At a minimum, Blue Swell should have proactively notified me once they were aware the listing was no longer valid. The lack of communication, accountability, and meaningful resolution is extremely disappointing. A generic apology and refund do not address the financial and logistical impact this has caused especially given the timing and the size of my group. This situation was entirely avoidable with basic communication and proper handling. Instead, it was managed POORLY. Based on this experience, I will be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and strongly caution others to think carefully before booking through Blue Swell Rentals.
