Avari in Okaloosa Island, Florida

“This is a great place and we were very comfortable there.”

“There is very noticeable black mold in master hallway and bathroom. Upon arrival the entire apartment smelled moldy. The cleaning crew, obviously knows of the issue and had left all fans and bathroom exhausts running full blast, in a futile attempt to mitigate the issue. We were forced to close off the master suite and sleep in the small guest bedroom, however the smell is still prevalent. This is a health and stated issue. The host, Avari management was non responsive. Only texted back 4-5 hours later that their local team was "working on it". This is an issue that can't be easily resolved, bottom line this unit should not be offered for rent until the mold issue is fixed by professionals. Other items: back sliding door does not lock, there is no deadbolt on the front door and the door jam safety device is missing. Photos and videos were shared with host and nothing was addressed, only text promises, usually late at night.”

“Perfect spot for a couple of days on the beach! The size is great for a couple & the wall decor is cute. Hopefully maintenance will take care of a few minor issues brought to their attention, but overall a sweet spot I’d stay in if in the area again.”

“Great vacation! The condo had everything we needed for our stay and preparing meals. The beach and pool were never too crowded, we barely left except to walk across the streets to AJ’s for amazing seafood. The only complaint is the morning of our check out, the cleaners were standing at our door at 9am waiting for us to leave when check out wasn’t until 10am. That made us feel rushed to leave. Otherwise, we’ll book to stay here again!”

“I can't write everything I have to say due to Character limits. so here are bullets 1. 5 day / 4 night vacation - slept in a different unit 3 out of 4 nights due to AC issue in first unit 2. Spent a majority of my vacation either moving, worried about moving or wondering what was next 3. Owner of first unit came INTO THE UNIT UNANNOUNCED 2 times! 4. NO COMPENSATION OFFERED 5. Rented a unit KNOWING it had an Air conditioner issue, this was told to me by the property manager 6. required me to completely move buildings a mile and half away, which didn't offer the same amenities I had at the original place. 7. When final unit was offered, I was told last minute to hurry and pack, but still didn't have proper access codes for new unit. impatient owner entered the unit (thinking I was at the beach and he could go undetected) but my oldest daughter was in there. I suspect this was because he wanted to validate AC issues as he said "it wasn't so bad" the first time he entered the unit.”
