As a frequent traveller to Destin and the surrounding areas, the last visit we had was a very bad experience. In order to help those thinking of renting a beach home in the area please read what happened to our family dealing with Carter Beach properties before you rent.

Hi plakng. Welcome and thanks for sharing your experience for other travelers. I've had a similar experience in a different city so I understand your frustration.

However, we removed the link in your post for administrative reasons. Maybe you could just summarize your experience in the forums instead?

Sorry your Destin vacation was a wash... hopefully the next one will be better! Please let us know if you find some places you'd recommend.

Thanks!

The story is long and frustrating.I will say that Carter Beach properties does not depict what you are renting accurately on their website. Makes for a very unhappy family once you arrive after having driven many hours. Users can simply google Carter Beach Properties and our story will be in the first page results. We have however been back to the area with great experiences with the fine folks in Watercolor and the Watercolor Inn. I would recommend the ease of dealing with this group. Thanks for listening.

Thanks for the heads up. We will be steering clear of that rental agency.

Your best bet is stay at a hotel/chain you KNOW and watch out for the "local" rip offs here in my neighbourhood. There's an Economy Hotel in FWB that's horrible and drugs are abound in that section of town. Stay away from it.
