Everything was as expected. The house was incredibly clean and everything worked. We have typically had issues with pools and hot tubs but all was great here!! We had a small issue with the TV and they sent someone over right away. The only issue that was not able to be resolved was the elevator. Fortunately, my elderly father was not able to join us on the trip because that would have been an issue.
Our family group of 12 people in their 60s and 70s enjoyed a fantastic time at this home! The ocean and beach views were amazing! The owner and property manager were great.
We had 4 families staying together. This provided plenty of room for everyone to have their space and come together to hang out. We loved it so much we already booked again for next year. Location is perfect.
Property was as stated. Direct beach access. We loved the view and the outside pool/hot tub and tiki hut! Tari was very responsive and very easy to work with.
The outside area is beautiful. Big pool and hot tub, and the beach chairs and umbrellas were a special added bonus! Close to everything you need on vacation. Host is very attentive to any need or request. Salt like sand and clear waters make the beach so inviting.
Everything was awesome. Kitchen and dining area lay out is perfect. Master bedroom is large with great closet space. We enjoyed cooking by the tiki bar and pool is a great place to relax after a day on the beach.
Loved this place. Had a few issues in the beginning but Tari was wonderful in taking care of them. The pool, hot tub, and location was perfect. We had 13 stay (family) and you never felt that it was crowded. Beach was fabulous. We would stay again! Loved it
Place is great. lot of room. fun for all the grandchildren(9) and the 8 adults. Pool and hot tub were perfect and loved cooking at the tiki bar so we didn't have to go out and fight the crowd. Tari communicated with me asap on anything I requested of her.
We celebrated my husband’s 50th on the property. We had 8 couples. Location is amazing and proximity to the beach was a dream! The kitchen was fully stocked with all of the amenities we needed. We had a small issue pop up, but I contacted the owner and it was addressed right away. Would definitely recommend staying at Beach Buck! You will not be disappointed!
We absolutely LOVE this home, we vacation in Destin with our family every year and we all agreed this was one of our favorite houses we’ve stayed in over the years. It was a beautiful location, very accommodating and the owner of the property was super sweet and helpful as well! 10/10
We celebrated our 50th anniversary with our children, grandchildren, and other family members - 22 people. The house was excellent- clean, spacious, and welcoming. We felt at home and enjoyed the patios, the pool, and the beach. The view of the gulf was so breathtaking and relaxing. Our chef son and family were able to prepare delicious meals in the well equipped kitchen Ann the outside grill. Our hostess Tari was an excellent communicator and immediately responded to resolve any problems. This was the best vacation we have ever had in Destin.
This home was everything I was looking for to celebrate with my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren♥️ for my 70th birthday! More than enough room and loved the pool, hot tub, tiki hut and game room. Being right on the beach was a big plus. Would love to go back. The host was very easy to work with. Thank’s Tari.

Our family of 19 were so impressed with the accommodations. 8 adults and 11 kids ranging from 8-17. The 4 master suites were perfect for the adults…..each with a private balcony. So conveniently located we were able to walk to souvenir shops, fish market, ice cream and candy store. Publix is just a few miles away. Spent most of our time on the beach but did go deep sea fishing and caught plenty of fish for dinner. We have stayed at many VRBOs in many locations, but we all agreed…..this was our favorite. It was a 10. Thank you to our host Tari. The few times we had questions, she responded very quickly. We hope to book again.
The house is beautiful inside and out along with a great location. The pool and hot tub are very nice and the beach is right out your door. The AC went out on the first floor of which it took an entire day to wait for the repair guy. The refrigerator also went to 55 degrees because the first floor was at 80. It was fixed, but the manner in which the owner spoke to me was very degrading and uncalled for.
Overall impression was great. However, the bed on the third floor closest to the stairwell is really bad to sleep in. The mattress really needs to be replaced. Also the bunk bed seems pretty unstable. Lastly the towel hooks are about to fall off of the walls. The hooks were like that when we arrived. The kitchen could have been stocked a little better. The pots and pans are very worn. The pool was awesome and the quick walk to the beach was perfect. Overall we had a great vacation.
Our whole family, ranging from 3-72 had fun at this house. Plenty of room, the pool was so nice and the hot tub great in the evenings. The elevator was very helpful for getting luggage to the 3rd and 4th floors. Owner was very responsive when ever we had any issues. The only negative was not being able to leave any kind of sauces, or things like mayo, mustard in the frig that would be very helpful for the next people. We ended up having to throw out alot of food. The other hard part was that the driveway does hold 4 cars, but its one lane. So in order to get a back car out, all cars need to be moved. Not a big deal, just to be aware of it. Would definitely come again!
We booked this home for a 5 night stay over New Year's. Our entire family was able to make it with ages ranging from 9 - 81. The house is exactly as pictured and even better. The communication with the home owner was easy and quick. We had plenty of room for all 16 of us, with everyone having their own rooms with ensuite bathrooms. Although a few days were cold, the view of the beach from every level was spectacularly beautiful. The game room, pool and hot tub were all used heavily even though it was a cooler period. The kitchen is very well stocked and every room was very comfortable. Any question that came up along the way was responded to immediately. We even had a small overnight bag left in the house and the owner was so quick to respond and helped us get it shipped back. We would book this house in a heartbeat and highly recommend to any large group looking for a great house right on the beach in a quiet community!

Destin Disappointment
Great communication with property manager at the beginning. Answered questions right away...we had quite a few since we had never been to that area before. Move in day questions were also answered promptly. View was amazing!
That is where things change, unfortunately. House appeared nice when first walking in...not so! Discovered hair in bathtub, shower handle broken, sand in beds, a/c system really off...some rooms hot while others were freezing! Stains on walls. Very uncomfortable furniture around the pool.
Not sure that all bedding was changed or house cleaned properly.
VERY disappointed with what we paid for and what we got!
Definitely needs to be updated.
Unfortunately we will not be renting from these managers again.

Over-rated property
As the weekly rental rate for this house is expensive, I thought I was booking an exceptional house for our family get together. This house is not exceptional. It is a bit beat up and tired. The cleanliness upon arrival was spotty at best. We struggled all week with the refrigerator maintaining a safe temp. Even toward the end of our week with little food it was reading 57 degrees. The shower knob in the primary bedroom was broken, the shower in one of the other bedrooms had a shower curtain that was way too short, the grills were gross upon our arrival, and the pool had black algae. One of the bedrooms had drapes with holes in them and broken shudders on 2 windows. The listing also incorrectly stated that one of the bedrooms has bunk beds when actually it is a twin bed with a trundle. After a couple days we just tried to ignore the deficiencies and enjoy our time together at the beach. On the positive side, the owners were responsive but there was only so much they could do to make it right in the week we were there. I would not stay at this property again.
This is a great beach house located in a perfect area. We were a family of 19 and we had so much space for everyone. So nice to be located right on the beach and to have a private pool and hot tub as well. A short walk to ice cream shop, close proximity to lots of great areas to visit and overall great house. The only complaint from multiple people in the group was the lack of supplies in comparison to other large houses like this we have stayed in together before. No basic kitchen supplies like ziplock/foil, cooking spray, salt/pepper(owner brought some after we reached out) or some of those basic necessities that you'd expect like that. Only a couple garbage bags(no garbage bags at first, but owner was quick to respond and gave us a couple bags, which surprised us since we are a large group staying an entire week), no extra toilet paper and paper towels were provided, tiny shampoo/conditioner enough for an overnight stay, yet it's a full week booking. We have never experienced having to purchase these little extras at other larger expensive units like this before. It does specify in the rental agreement they would provide "starter" items, but most of the group was bothered upon arrival by having to go to the store to purchase every little thing after only a day stay. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware like pots/pans, dishware, etc. Plenty of towels in each bathroom and for the beach as well. The overall house is wonderful and we would stay again.
I loved my stay at this property! The space is beautifully designed and thoughtfully laid out, with every detail making it feel comfortable and easy to settle into. The amenities were excellent and everything I needed was provided. It truly felt like a home away from home, and I’d happily stay here again.
