We really liked the house and location! Kids loved the pool! One small thing - I wish they would provide pool towels. One less thing to have to pack.

Great winter getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at Goldfinch. There was plenty of space to accommodate us and our visiting family members. We enjoyed the heated pool, 2 golf carts and bicycles. Glass Casa is an excellent management company and they addressed our requests promptly and professionally. We would definitely stay there again.

Nice but needs maintenance

The house is very nice and just as pictured. However the amenities need maintenance or upgrading. The golf carts provided are very used and one barely had brakes. The bicycles also need work! The garage door is very close to breaking and we were thankful it didn’t while we stayed. The grill also needs to be replaced. Overall we had a nice stay and it is in good proximity to beaches and all Destin has to offer!

Everything was great except the beds

Everything was as it should be at the house. It was very nice and clean. Our only complaint were the mattresses in each bedroom. The mattress in the downstairs master was too firm for us and it slanted where your feet were a little higher than your head. Also, the left side of the mattress appeared to be quite worn as is slept much lower than the right side; almost like in a hole. I don't know the specifics of the other two beds in the other two bedrooms - I was just told they were not comfortable.

Comfortable ... but

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was comfortable and provided exactly what they promised, however, it is very tired and is in need of repair and updating. The laminate (hardwood) floors are peeling and split in many places. The sliding doors are all so old that they struggle to slide. The cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms are old and some hang on hinges. The tv in the loft room did not operate and we waited for it to be replaced and never was. The pool is nice and large and was warm as promised yet the lounge furniture by the pool is not comfortable. The grill was dirty and we did not use it. The golf carts are older but operate fine. The management company was responsive and helpful every time we needed them.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our 4th time staying with Glass Casa rentals and we are always happy with the properties. This house was probably the kids favorite due to size and the kids room off of the 2nd level. We definitely will chose them again for our next trip!

They play foosball and ping pong. At night we rode the golf cart to play tennis and then to brusters for a treat after. I like the cleanliness and easy check in/out process.
