Upon check-in, we were greeted and remembered from our many past visits over 20 years by Kerby, a vivacious Newman Dailey employee.
We arrived at Sea Mist 1 which had been highly recommended for the recent upgrades. We were not disappointed. All new kitchen and bathrooms which hosted granite countertops and beautiful tiles throughout. The bedding was all new and extremely comfortable. A fully stocked kitchen made it easy for any cooking we chose to do. All new flat screen TV's!
Being right on the beach has always been #1 priority, and this property offered a spectacular view and access to the beach right out the door. Three decks with chairs let us decide if the beach was where we wanted to sit, or close to our unit.
Will definitely book this unit again! A great place to spend our 25th wedding anniversary! |

Air conditioning |

| We liked the home,but had issues with the air conditioning. There needs to be air for the upstairs and air for the down stairs. Also, the adults did really enjoy having to share the 1st floor room. There really needs to be one room for each couple. The view and the fact that we had everything we needed to cook our meals was great, but the air was an issue when we stayed in May and an even bigger issue in September. Really needs to be fixed if you want people to return. I can say that our group does not want to stay at this place when we come back. Sorry!!! |

We have stayed at SeaMist on several occasions. This year was the first time in #1. The weather was great, water was beautiful and accomodations perfect. The remainder of my family stayed in SeaMist #4.
However, when we arrived, there was urine soaked linens left on the stairs wrapped in a blanket (we put in garage) The bedroom on the top level - street side had a bad smell when we arrived, which continued to get worse. We checked underneath the bed and found dirty sheets with human waste. After searching for gloves we placed the sheets in the garbage.
The washing machine quit working while we were there, but was replaced the following day. (excellent !!)
The master bedroom developed a bad leak from the ceiling and we had to place pans on the floor to keep from soaking the carpet.
I called your office the morning we left and talked to someone about all of this. I was told someone would return my call. Needless to say, I've not heard a word from anyone.
We will vacation in Destin again next summer, but undecided where to stay.
Mr. Capshaw is a GREAT asset to SeaMist !!
Still waiting on that call back !! |

| We appreciate comments from our guests even when they are unfavorable. Feedback is so important to ensure we are giving the service that our guests deserve. It is embarrassing to hear that soiled sheets were left in the property. I can assure you this was an isolated incident. It upsets me that this guest did not receive a return phone call. We have spoken directly with the guest and discovered that they left a message when our office was closed but we still should have received their message. It is very unfortunate that we did not know about the issue as soon as it was discovered for we surely would have responded immediately as we did with the new washer. In speaking with these guests it is our hope they will accept our apology and give us another opportunity to serve them again in the future. Karen Poe- Director of Operations |

| Condo was very nice, clean, well stocked with the amenities from home. It was awesome having having all of the beach chairs and toys on the lowest level closet. We never bought anything for the beach since it was already there. The neighbor "Don" was awesome. Don being a local helped us with where to eat, shop and such. He even gace us a daily paper every morning! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will be back next year!! |

Overall a nice place to stay. We had minor issues with the house when we arrived. 1.) the grill, it was very dirty, to the point that I would not put food on it. This is the second year in a row we needed to have the grill serviced before it could be used. 2.) The garage door did not work properly and had to be serviced. 3.) The property was advertised with a gargae, but I could not put my minivan in it because of a large refrigerator that restricted the van from fitting. 4.) 2 of sliding door locks did not work and had to be serviced. 5.) The AC took over a day to get to a comfortable temperature and we didn't sleep well the first night. 5.) the biggest concern and one that will keep me from ever leasing this property again, was the fact that I was told by Newman-Dailey personell that all floors were connected from stairs within the inside of the house. not true; the bottom floor bedroom was only accessible from the outside decks or through the garage. I actually eliminated other properties because of this very feature before selecting this unit. My kids were scared to stay on that floor because of the lack of accessibility to me, in the main part of the house. Very disappointing. We made due with the situation and I slept there for much of the week with my kids, not in the nice 3rd floor master bedroom.
From the good things perspective: The beach was great and the house was situated perfectly close to the beach. The decks made for nice views. And the proximity to things we did was a bonus. The beach toys that were available were nice. And the funtastic program helped with some expense. The umbrella and two beach chairs that came with the rental was a nice bonus.
Besides the issues, we still had a nice stay. I just wish these types of things were looked at more closely (especially the bottom floor issue) before arrival. The last thing I want is to devote part of my vacation on issues, especially when we pay the rent we pay for a weeks stay. |

The BEST VIEW IN DESTIN |

This was my fifth visit to Destin within the last twelve months. It doesn't get any better than Seamist 1. I have fallen in love with Destin and how could you not with everything that comes in this package. I spent seven nights, cooked every meal except one and found every utencil even Paula Deen could need to cook a family dinner in this fantistic kitchen. A deck off every floor, A gas grill, A lower deck storage room stocked better than Alvin's Island with all your beach needs... This unit is breath taking.
I hardly left the unit the whole week. My husband played golf "free" with our package every day. If you come to Seamist bring nothing...It's all there. I can't think of a single thing that could have been added to our Townhouse to make it better. If I ever stay in another unit It will only be because this unit wasn't available.
This unit has a resident neighbor who was wonderful. He checked in on us,assuring us that he was next door in case we needed anything. He brought us newspapers to go with our coffee. He and his wife treated us as if they had known us for years....The only down side to this vacation was I had to come home.....

| My husband and I took our two kids to the beach for a week. This was the first time we ever stayed in a townhouse, now we wouldnt want to stay anywhere else. with every thing we needed, and the beach only at the bottom of the stairs. we want to come back every year. I would recommend the seamist #1 to any couple or couples, with or without children. |

| Great location! The only thing that was a little frustrating was that we had a hard time controlling the temperature. It would get either really cold or really muggy. The condo, however, had everything we needed including chairs, floats, and unbrellas. It was so wonderful being able to wake up and walk straight onto the beach! The views from the multiple decks were spectacular. |

We would highly recommend Seamist Townhouse 1. Everyone would love to go back again, even though it rained for the last 4 days. It feels like home with a fully equipped kitchen, washer & dryer, and a grill on the main deck. It is nicely decorated, but not too fancy. The extras like tickets to The Track, Little Nemo fishing, and free movie rentals saved us money. Check-in was easy and quick.
You have a fantastic view of the gulf from each of the 4 decks. If the weather does bring you indoors there are cards, puzzles, games, and of course TV or movies.
Two suggestions:
1 - check around before you buy anything, it is probably already there.
2 - we can't recommend the sleeper sofa.
Be sure and say hi to your neighbor Don. He is a great help. |

| We (the Oregon Crooks') wanted to take our family (the Georgia Crooks;) to a place neither of us had been but that was close to Georgia. We picked the Gulf Coast because of all the wonderful things we heard about the area and we were not disappointed. It was one of the best vacations's we have ever had. The Seamist Townhomes were the best. Our unit was fabulous and perfect for two adult married couples, and three teenage boys (grandsons). The unit was in perfect order, the view was breathtaking, the sand and surf right off the deck were absolutely the best. We hope to return someday. We would highly recommend this unit and the services of Newman and Dailey to everyone. |

This trip was absolutely wonderful. The weather was great and the water was fabulous.
Probably the best we've ever seen as long as we've been coming. The condo was updated since we were there last and it was very, very nice. We always love staying at Seamist #1. It's our favorite of all the places we've stayed.

| Seamist Townhome #1 is a great place to stay. It is directly located on the beach. It has plenty of room for an average sized family. Waking up every morning with a direct view of the Gulf from the third floor bedroom was tremendous. The townhome is located close to shopping and entertainment. I would definately stay there again without any reservations. |
