DeFuniak Springs Visitors Center…read more 1162 Circle Drive DeFuniak Springs, FL 32435 (850) 333-2241 The official "concierge desk" for tourists and visitors seeking information about the charming historic (once gated) village marketed as "the Education Resort of the South". This is a great place to learn more about Defuniak Springs and its rich history. Many famous people came to this town: Most notable speakers and lecturers included Abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe, Democratic Presidential Nominee and Orator William Jennings Bryan, Woodrow Wilson's Vice President Thomas Marshall, Songwriter of Battle Hymn of the Republic Julia Ward Howe, and American Red Cross Founder Clara Barton. Records show that Governor William McKinley was also invited by resort/campus leaders to speak at the Assembly. My friends minions tried to feed the fat ducks crackers at the lake nearby. The ducks rushed as if to attack for the crackers. The minions were terrified.

I should have left then, but no we ordered. Everything takes forever, my shrimp was uncooked. Shrimp it is not supposed to be translucent! For the hefty price of the ribeye it was awful thin, Then comes the bill - Impact Fee? Are you serious? Not a sign at front that says we charge an impact fee. Do yourselves a favor check your bill. $85 later for 2 no alcohol I felt robbed. I don't mind paying for good food and service but this was terrible. Definitely will never be back.

Sapphire Island was the one place in the region with a vacancy that I could find, so I jumped on it. I knew this RV park would not be the same kind of camping experience I'd have had at a state park, but I was pleasantly surprised during my stay there. I had no trouble finding a flat spot to pitch my tent; the bath house was clean and well-maintained; and even though it's right off a big highway, the place was remarkably peaceful--there were no jerks blasting music or revving loud engines or anything like that. And making day trips to the beach was easy enough. The place could definitely be easier to find, especially at night. When I was there the only markings at the entrance were a couple of feather flags.

During the transfer to the new room I decided to take 2 of the pillows with me over to the new room. I figured why not? Had already laid my head on them, instead of calling front desk for more. 830am the next morning there is POUNDING on my door. Yes, I had a do not disturb sign on our door if you can believe it. The pounding continues at which time the front desk woman yells "housekeeping ". I replied "No thank you". She proceeded to yell through our door asking how many pillows we had. With me being disoriented after having a late night of travel and not much sleep, I replied, "I believe 6". We did have a double queen bedroom.....I then decided to get up and go open the door because she was certain to wake my sleeping toddler with all the yelling. I opened and this woman snappingly responded, "Yeah, I'm going to need two of those back ". I was irrate at that point and took the two pillows to the door. Next afternoon, during my shower I hear BEATING on my door again. Non stop beating. I hurried out of the bathroom and looked out the window to see the same front desk woman heading toward the stairs on the phone. I plugged the room phone back in due to unplugging it so that my smart toddler didn't dial 911. After plugging in the phone, came the rings. Its front desk, noise complaint. The person UNDER us says we are jumping around?. I assured her I was in the shower and have no idea what she was taking about. She replied "Yea, I'm going to need you to handle that". Again, my do not disturb sign hangs on my door. I called my husband who was working a job nearby which is the reason for our stay. He went to speak to front desk after work. During his walk up there he noticed our room on the 2nd floor is above A MAINTENANCE CLOSET. The room next to that one was VACANT as we could see in because the shades were fully open. Trust me, I have pictures. This was about an hour after the complaint he noticed and headed to front desk. Same rude lady. Blonde with glasses. Husband told her he had a complaint. He then reminded her of the complaint called on our room and brought it to her attention that there is a maintenance closet and a vacant room under us. The only two potential rooms that would be anywhere under is. The woman replied, " Oh, I was going around to all the rooms not just yours". HUH? Okay. She then asked my husband "Well is that all you have to complain about?". He decided to give up due to her disgusting attitude and condescending tone. My husband decided to just contact corporate. Here we are 2 weeks later and ZERO returned calls from corporate about our complain. Do NOT recommend. There are many other places to stay in Defuniak who most likely offer better customer service and cleaner rooms.

Another bonus: the place was really quiet which is great when all you want to do is get rest on a long drive. Would definitely stay there again.
