Family-oriented vacation accommodations 

We value our customers and wish to express our appreciation for your business. We generally have guests who care for our properties and are very responsible.

We do not rent to vacationing students or young adults under the age of 25.

Smoking is strictly prohibited inside all condos. Any evidence of smoking within the condo will result in a fine ranging from $250 to $1000. If you choose to smoke on the balcony, you must use an ashtray, refrain from using the balcony floor to dispose of cigarettes, and not throw cigarette butts off the balcony. Violating these rules will result in a $500 county fine and possible eviction. Keep the balcony door closed to prevent smoke smell from entering the units. Absolutely no evidence of smoke, cigarette ashes, butts, or chewing tobacco should be left behind. The Majestic Sun Condo Owners Association has also banned smoking on balconies and walkways. Smoking is only permitted in the ground floor parking garage.

Guests are urged to remember that the fun of your group should not prevent others at the complex from having a good time. Be respectful of others.

Trailors, RVS, BOATS, Motorcycle Trailors, Campers, Fifth Wheels , or anything similar are not allowed to be parked onsite by the HOA for any circumstance.  Please do not bring and park at condo.  You can rent space at Germonimo Self Storage or Storage Max.

Destin Beach Rentals on the Beach: Rental Policies #

Reservations made under false pretenses will be subject to forfeiture of deposit and rental fees and eviction.

  • A starter supply of bathroom tissue, soap, and paper towels is provided. During their stay, guests must provide additional paper products and household supplies. The guest is responsible for the supply of laundry detergent.
  • Hair dryers are not supplied in our units.
  • Bed linens and towels are provided. After the guest uses the supply, they must be washed for the duration of the stay. Guests are to bring beach towels.
  • Wireless internet/ TV access is provided via cable.  The functioning of the internet access is dependent upon the cable companies, we will do our best to help but in most cases if the internet is not working we would have the guest call the cable company as they need the cooperation of the occupants of the property to resolve issues.
  • Condo complexes are not the same as hotels; there is no front desk that can assist guests. However, we are five minutes away and happy to help.

If the condo has a problem, guests are expected to call or email us at the beginning of the stay with all issues they may have so that we can assist or correct them.

If repair or replacement of condo contents is warranted, we may have a repair company come out during your stay at the condo. Access will need to be available to Beach Condos In Destin employees, and any repair company required between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. and after hours for any emergency repairs that somebody may need to make. Guests are expected to be kind to these rare inconveniences and work with us to obtain a solution.

We try our best to avoid problems, but they occur, and we will need your assistance and patience.  If you find any issues with your condo, you must call us as soon as you do

We accept checks, Discover, Mastercard, or Visa as forms of payment. The size of the condo determines the cleaning fees.

A $700-$1000 advance payment is required for all condos and is deducted from the total cost of the reservation. This amount is either paid by a credit card number or check.  This amount is not a security deposit and will not be returned to you as it is part of the total amount due for the stay.

A damage waiver fee of $25-$60 is charged to each reservation. This fee covers unintentional damages to the rental unit during your stay, provided they are disclosed to management before check-out. The fee contributes to paying for guest damages up to $1,000.00. Any damages exceeding $1,000.00 will be charged to our credit card number on file.

This does not include fees for loss of keys, theft, failure to remove garbage from the property, smoking in the condo, leaving items behind, or leaving the house excessively dirty. These fees will be charged to the payment method on file.

Lodging taxes by Florida and Okaloosa/Walton County laws are collected and submitted.

All cancellations are subject to fines of $100 up to the total paid for your stay.

Bookings Length of 3 days -14 days total stay. $100 fine if you cancel more than 60 days prior to arrival. $500-$700 fine if canceled between 59 -30 days prior to arrival. Non refundable if under 30 days prior to arrival though we will try to recoup and refund minus previous fines and discounted rate if we can rebook for you.

Booking Length 15 days and greater. The advance of $500-$1000 is non refundable. We want you to be sure before you book that you are intending to come. The remainder of your stay is due at 60 days prior to arrival and from that point the total is non refundable. If you have to cancel and we are able to rebook we will reimburse you at the booking rate we receive minus advance

Cancellations, early departures, or non-arrivals do not warrant refunds of rent or deposits. We cannot refund early departures or late cancellations. We do not refund for inclement weather, including Hurricanes and Tropical storms. We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance.

Beach Condos In Destin is proud to offer our guests one of the industry’s best vacation rental protection policies. Rental Guardian Royal Adventure Travel Protection can cover you and your vacation investment if and when the unexpected happens.

The policy costs 7% for the typical unexpected cancellation or 10.8% of the total cost of your trip for a cancellation for any reason policy. We recommend you purchase the insurance when booking to ensure the best coverage, but we can bind coverage until the balance is paid 30 days before arrival. In addition to protecting your vacation investment, visit the Rental Guardian website at the link below for more information. This will provide up to a 100% refund for your trip stay with us minus the initial premium cost.

Check-In/Check-Out:  Check-in time is any time after 3 pm CST, and check-out time is any time before 10 am CST. This is important for our cleaning crews and the next set of guests. In rare cases, there may be an issue that could delay check-in until 5 pm. If this occurs, we will notify the guest as soon as possible. During the busy season, which runs from March through October, it is nearly impossible to accommodate any early check-in requests.  Please plan to arrive at the condo on or after the designated check-in time.

There is a $50 fee for failure to return keys.

Please be aware that Beach Condos in Destin and its employees are not responsible for any items left behind by the client. Before leaving the condo, please thoroughly check for any belongings, including drawers and under the beds. We will make every effort to return any found items, but the guest/Lessee will be responsible for the cost of packing and shipping. There will be a shipping charge and a $25 fee for the time required to retrieve, package, and ship your items. Please note that we are not a large company, and it may take significant time to recover and return any forgotten items.

Occupancy limits are established for each condo and noted on the website. If the occupancy limits are exceeded, guests will be asked to check out, and the full deposit and rental fee will be forfeited. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Parking passes are provided with each condo. Beach Retreat and Maravilla are secured parking complexes with gated access. Codes will be provided when the rental funds are received. Parking passes must be returned to the condos before departure.

Please note the following parking guidelines: – Most of our properties cannot accommodate RVs or trailers such as boats and utility trailers. Parking is limited to single-space vehicles, and each vehicle must have a parking pass while parked at our properties (exception—Maravilla Cottages). – Guests are not allowed to park any type of vehicle anywhere other than a single-car parking space. – Golf carts must be parked in a parking space and may not be plugged in by an extension cord to the condo. Golf carts are no longer allowed at Maravilla except by owners. However, if you are in a private home, you can bring an extension cord and charge an electric golf cart. – Houses and townhouses also do not allow parking of boat trailers or utility trailers unless they can be closed off in a garage.

Many of our condos are pet friendly. Our guests are required to have their pets well groomed, and well trained before bringing their pets to our accommodations. Pet areas are established at each complex. Feces must be bagged and disposed of in outside dumpsters. Condo Association rules require $100 fees for failure to properly dispose of feces. Walk dogs in the established pet areas and always be prepared with a bag in hand ready to manage droppings to prevent fines. Condo management personnel will expect you to be carrying a bag when you are out walking with your dog. Dogs are not to create a nuisance situation for other guest. We ask that you be prepared to provide a copy of the most recent vet check up documents should the need arise.

The person making the reservation is responsible for instructing all members of their group on this requirement.

We have had very few problems renting pet friendly. Here is a list of the rules for our pet friendly condos.

  • No more than two pets per condo, unless otherwise approved
  • Weight limits may apply to all condos and houses.  No aggressive dog breeds are allowed and there are restrictions against certain breeds.
  • Dogs must be up to date on shots/flea preventative
  • Dogs must be bathed and groomed prior to arrival
  • Dogs must remain on a leash at all times when outside the condo, no exceptions
  • Dogs are not allowed to be unattended on the balcony of the condo
  • Dogs are only to be walked in the designated area
  • Pet feces is to be picked up and disposed of properly.
  • Pets are not allowed on the beach
  • Pets are not allowed around the pool area of any condo due to condo and health department restrictions
  • Excessive barking will not be permitted
  • Avoid Nuisance behaviors
  • Our guests–people and pet–must make every effort to respect and value the enjoyment of other guests while you are here

Vacuums are provided to vacuum pet hair from the rugs and floors. Pets must be kept off furniture and beds or bring covers for our furnishings to prevent damage.

The rental agreement made between Beach Condos in Destin and the party (parties) named on the lease is not transferable to friends and/or family. It is the responsibility of the named party in the agreement to be sure that all rules and regulations in the agreement and of the condo association are followed during the stay. Failure to comply with the rules and regulations can result in fines or eviction without refund.

Tents and canopies are not allowed on the beach. Pool rules are posted at each pool. Guest swim at own risk.

Beach Condos In Destin is not responsible for items left behind.  Please do your very best not to leave items behind in the condo.  It always takes over 1-2 hours of time to find, pack, address and take to the post office to ship items back.  That can be excessive for our small staff. If we have to ship a item back to you, we will charge $25 plus the cost of packing, shipping and insurance to ship the item. Please try your very best not to leave any items behind.

Do not leave the balcony door open this creates a wind tunnel which will cause the front door to slam shut which can hurt guest if standing in the way. It can also cause the air conditioner to freeze up resulting in malfunction and costly AC maintenance.

During the summer months especially we often get a seemingly peculiar call.  Guest check in and bring a large number of items to put into the fridge.  Unlike at home, the fridge is empty upon check in and air takes a considerable amount of time to cool all items at once.  In your fridge at home, it uses stored items to assist cooling new items. 

We often get calls with guest thinking the fridge may not be working.  The appliance repair company does not work on weekends and for just a service call to visit it cost our owners $170 regardless if there is a problem or not.  We encourage guests to bring a cooler for items you want to cool quickly place items that easily spoil in the freezer.  It may seem silly, but this call happens about 3 times a week during summer at various units. 

Also remind family members that the more often the door is opened the longer it will take the fridge to cool items. If the fridge is still not working well the following day, feel free to give us a call and we will call the repair company.

To prevent damage to the condo please follow the following rules:

  • Shake out sand from clothing and towels before washing and drying. Sand will damage the washer and dryer.
  • Do not leave the doors open while the air conditioner is running. It will freeze up and stop working requiring a service call.
  • Do not wash colored beach towels or clothing with the condo linens.
  • If something is spilled on sheets or linens during your stay please wash to avoid stain setting in, if the stain does not come out call us before drying the items.  Drying a stain will set it in.
  • Trash must be disposed of in the proper dumpsters or trash chutes. Do not leave garbage in the condo upon departure.
  • Never leave trash bags outside the condo door or in stairwells. Fines of $100 per occurrence are applicable for failure to properly dispose of trash.
  • The dishwasher and garbage disposal are to be run prior to departure. Do not leave dirty dishes, pots, pans upon departure.
  • Beach Condos in Destin reserves the right to charge guest for additional housekeeping service due to guest’s lack of care or respect for privately owned properties.

From time to time we may email you or text about upcoming specials or promotions.  If you do not wish to receive please email us with the heading unsubscribe.
