Should be called one star properties. There is nothing high class about this company. Poorly maintained properties. Poorly managed business. Poorly trained employees. An owner that doesn’t care as he... See more

Excellent in every aspect!
The house was perfect, the stay was amazing, I was able to have the perfect beach wedding and my wife and me loved it, five star was there every step of the way to help me with anything I needed, Everything was great.
Luna Sea on Santa Rosa Beach was wonderful! The house was immaculate upon arrival.
Beautiful, Peaceful, Clean, Family oriented and great customer service!
The house worked great for our group. I'd say the hot tub, swim-up pool bar, and rooftop deck were the highlights. The only issues we had were the door code was incorrect when we arrived, the Wifi did not work well and there was a bag that was forgotten in the house but the cleaning crew never turned into the lost and found.
The Five Star team is easy to work with and respond quickly to any problems (air conditioner; washer/dryer). We have already booked our vacation for next year!
This house was awesome, Great locate to the beach. I will rent again from them. Great customer service!
This house is amazing!! The pool was above any expectation. We had a few issues, but 5 star took care of it immediately!! Thank you so much for the wonderful weekend.
House was very clean and well appointed. The code to enter didn't work when we arrived but a quick call back to the office corrected the issue.
Very attentive to our needs.
We arrived at the condo to see a dirty, dated condo. After getting our things put in the rooms, I went to open the sliding door in the master bedroom and the handle fell off onto the floor. We unloaded our suitcases to put them in the closet and the whole track was broke and the door wouldn't even close. The TV in the master bedroom didn't work all week. The air condition didn't work. When we finally checked the control panel on the wall, it didn't even have batteries in it. The lamp in the guest bedroom didn't work. The refrigerator had rust on the outside of it. The walls were dirty and had marks all over them. There was a big hole by the washer and dryer that had not been fixed. There was old brown carpet in the master bedroom that looked very dated. The only good thing about the condo was the view. This condo should not be rented until the owners update the whole condo. We have stayed here at The Pelican Resort for at least 20 years and I know this condo has never been redone. We wait all year to do the great escape for a couple of weeks and then to pay that much for a condo that looked like that was very disappointing. We reached out 2 times to management while we were there and requested some of our money back but have not had a response back.
There were a few parts of our trip that I felt could have been handled better by the Property Management company. The heat was out on the pool at the house we rented and I know there's nothing they could do to change that, but I just felt their messaging around it wasn't very compassionate to how much that would change our trip, nor did they offer any suggestions to help. For example, I would have loved hem to say hey there are these other pool options in the neighborhood. Something. Additionally, we called and asked for a late check out and were granted permission, only to get an angry call at noon asking why we weren't yet gone. It seems there was a miscommunication on their end, but again it's all about HOW the message is delivered that can make the difference. I work in sales I think respect in business is a key ingredient to making sure we're all happy at the end.
Prompt communication. They didn't always have a straight/correct answer at first call, but they got there. Web interface, and check in/out process was excellent. I would rent from them again.
Renting was an easy process and we had great communication from five stars. We rented the house two years in a row. There was a lot of wear and tear on the house in just one year. That was disappointing. Otherwise everything was great.
The Condo was extravagantly decorated which was very nice- the pictures didn’t reveal how extraordinary it was in person. Our only issue was Cold Water in the 2nd Bedroom Shower. After 2 maintenance visits the problem was not resolved & were consistent throughout our checkout. Hindsight says staff should have offered us another room or accommodations should have been priority.
The only complaint we would have was the 2 single beds were not comfortable at all.
When we checked into our rental the air was not working on the main floor. They did send two different people out but it wasn’t until the next day that it was fixed. Unless, we wanted to stay up until 11/12 waiting on the repair guy. So one couple had to sleep with doors open (thankfully it was cool out at night). Also, the vent over the stove was not very clean. Apparently someone before us had used their finger to write “clean me” in the grease/dust build up on it. Not very welcoming.
This home, It's About Time, has been one of our favorite family vacation places. There are 23 of us and accommodates us well. The family gives it high reviews! The staff are most helpful and response timely to our needs. . Again, thanks for a wonderful vacation!
Wonderful week! House was clean and ready for all of us. Beds were comfortable and all of the amenities were just as listed in the description, everything we could have needed. We will be back!
The house was lovely and more than enough! The staff was available at all times and checked if we need anything! I would Recommend 10 out 10 times for sure! We will be back!
