This house was absolutely perfect for my family's vacation! It fit us all very well, the pool and outdoor kitchen were extremely nice, and the walk to the beach was quick and enjoyable. We had the best time and would highly recommend this property.
Great location - short walk to the beach and 30A. The house is beautiful and spacious. The pool is amazing. Wonderful vacation - definitely booking for same time next year.
The house was more than enough room for our family. The stay was amazing and the heated is a plus. The house comes with supplies which made our stay even more incredible. We will definitely stay here again.
We loved this house. It was perfect for our trip. We had my brother and his wife and myself and 9 children between us. All the children really injoyed the pool and being so close to the ocean.
The house location was great. My family was satisfied with all the amenities and all the extra toys for the kids was a plus. Enjoyed the pool great size for a large group. We are looking forward to our next vacation!
GREAT location!!! House was big enough for everyone, nicely decorated and had everything you needed, and the pool was perfect!!
Mitch was amazing to work with, quick responses and very helpful with information or answers!
Thank you Mitch for making our stay stress free!
This is the perfect place to stay. It was very comfortable, easy to communicate with the host and very very clean.
My family enjoyed the pool with the pool side kitchen and all the pool items that are for your use . Thank You !
The home was just what it appeared to be in the photos. It was such a quick walk to the beach, without having to pay an insane amount in price to be directly on the beach. We did not pay for the pool to be heated (in mid July) and the water was perfect! There were games and toys at the house for the kids, including pool and beach toys (and a beach wagon). Would stay again if we re-visit!
This house works well for large/multiple families. We had 4 adults and 4 kids (ages 3, 4 and two 9 year olds) and we all fit comfortably. The house is nicely updated. It's a very short walk to the beach. The pool is nice and they provide pool and beach toys for the kids and wagon to get it all to the beach. The area is nice and safe, we enjoyed going for runs and walks in the morning. We enjoyed our stay!
This house had EVERYTHING you could possibly want. Short walk to the beach. Loads of pool floats, towels, beach chairs. You name it, they have it. Any time we had a question, I would immediately get a response back. It fit our family of 8 comfortably! The outside grill at the pool was amazing! We’re not typically ones to cook when we go on vacation but we loved grilling out there for lunch. We 100% will be back! Thank you guys for having us!
Great location near the beach - an easy walk for everyone and the kids. The pool area is fantastic and had everything we needed. Quick and great communication with the management. Location to restaurants and shopping was nice too. Overall, a great stay!
Our family of 9 (3 young children) had a great time in Destin. This local is perfect-close to beach, Publix and restaurants. Pool was amazing. We spent afternoons swimming. Great pool area, lots of space. Definitely will be back!
Great location. Communication with Mitch was excellent. House was well stocked, better than any we’ve stayed at. Lots of beach chairs, toys etc.pool was very nice to have with family and kids. Overall excellent property.
Great play to stay for a beach getaway! We enjoyed our stay here very much. The home was clean and comfortable with all the amenities we needed including laundry, a well stocked kitchen, and plenty of towels. The outdoor pool area was perfect and included an outdoor shower and bathroom, plenty of outdoor seating and a grill station with sink and mini fridge. The location was great as well, in close proximity to the beach as well as several dining and grocery options. If you stay here be sure to go to Camille’s!
We really enjoyed the rental. Home was clean an stocked with many extras that we didn’t have to worry about packing or buying. Owner was friendly and very responsive. Location was perfect.
Although the property is a bit dated, the pool and proximity to the beach make it a nice stay. All the listed amenities (beach chairs..we left 2more, beach towels, toys) are there! Mgmt checked in to make sure all was good and were helpful as needed. The beach gets very crowded early so take the short 3min walk to beach access, grab a beverage at Camille’s on the way and get your toes in the sand!
We loved staying at this property! EVERY last detail is thought of, and the property is well stocked with lots of "extras" not often found in rental houses. For example, hand soap, paper products, beach towels, trash bags, kids' toys, and beach toys/chairs. This house is closer to the beach than it looked in the photos, which was also a pleasant surprise.
We opted to pay the extra to heat the pool since the weather in spring can be hit or miss. We are thankful we did, because some days were cool, overcast, and there was a rip tide warning. The pool gave the kids endless fun even in poorer weather.
All communication was prompt with the mangagement company. There are very specific rules/checklists for this house. The only perceived "negative" is that it is located off a main road, and we did notice the sounds of traffic and people walking by at night.
I would recommend this house, and would stay here again!
