This is such a cute home with great proximity to the beach, coffee, restaurants, groceries and all the Destin activities. We had more than enough room for three grown kids, my husband and me. Very cozy with everything we needed. Would definitely come back!

We loved our vacation! The home was clean and in the perfect location. It was close enough to walk to and from the beach with all our stuff and 3 kids, 2-3 times a day. It was also really close to Whole Foods and the mall. We all loved it!

Perfect location to enjoy the Crystal Beach area. Five minute walk to beach and restaurants. Quick drive to shopping/groceries. The living room and outdoor porch provide tons of living space to comfortably accommodate 8 people. Beds were comfortable, and master suite had really nice features (dual showers, tub, king bed). We’ll definitely return.

Just stayed at this beautiful home for the past week. The home has everything you could need. Porches are lovely. We used the community pool often as we have young kids and it was never crowded. We were often the only ones there. Close walk to the beautiful white sand beach as well. Thanks for a great vacation!

Enjoyed being so close to a LOT of places where we could walk, bike, or scooter! Being so close to the beach was a BIG plus! Only thing that was a bit disappointing to me was that there was no extra toilet paper, paper towels, or trash bags for as much as we paid to stay. Otherwise we had a great time!!

La Dolce Vita is a great property. Comfortable, convenient and well appointed.we especially loved the porches, cooking out and making use of the spacious kitchen. I was traveling with one other adult, two teenagers and two pre-teens. The house gave us all plenty of space to hang out together, or find a cozy place to retreat. I would definitely recommend this house and hope to go back for a return visit soon!

The property was just as advertised. The decor was charming. Love the pouches on both levels. I do wish it had been more clearly explained as to which beach the property had access. I had some trouble with rental and set up of chairs and umbrellas. Ended up using Crystal Harbor which was closer than any other. Bedding was vomfortable

Overall thing were good, the home just needed some updates and repairs. We have a list of those repairs and upkeep. I'm going to email the list to the property manager.

House was great! We really enjoyed it, lovely setting & so close to the beach & pool. Few small issues, lamp on the porch didn’t work. No lights bulbs were in the lamp in the living room. Make sure to bring ur own tissues & napkins as there are none at the house. Be careful of the bath rugs in the bathroom, they slide on the slippery floors, can be dangerous!

House as described and 2 minute walk to beach. Kudos to cleaning crew as it was clean upon arrival. Only a few concerns was coffee pot didn’t work. I’m very familiar with type of pot and it overflowed so I think it may have been clogged by previous guests. Also, no comforter or blankets for queen and king size beds. It was cool at night and we had to purchase. Previous renters did not take out garbage. All were reported to property manager. Directions for streaming TV in king room and access for Fire stick would’ve been helpful. Great location for walking, golf cart, beach, and food. Would recommend for party of 6.

I’m going to give the bad first but please hang in there for the good because the bad can be fixed! I hesitate to rate the cleanliness “low” as I honestly need to, but I figured if I didn’t, then the owners couldn’t address the problem. We owned a condo in Destin for 7 years & I would want to be informed. I understand there is a rental agency (we rented ours directly & had personal contact with the renters), so I am not sure I can get a message directly to the owners. That’s the only reason why I’m putting this out there in this review…it’s not fair to future renters to pay the rental fees plus all of the add on fees and walk into a home that desperately needs a good deep clean. There was a musky old smell as soon as we walked in. We ended up buying Febreeze fabric spray and air freshener. The couches had lots of stains on them and smelled. The carpets upstairs had different colored stains, the window seat in one bedroom had stains & we opened a drawer in the queen room to discover someone placed gum underneath the drawer handle. It truly needs a good deep cleaning. All this negative though can easily be remedied! Surface cleaning was great. It was a clean home, meaning clean floors/showers/countertops/linens. Now on to the positives - great location & roomy! We were 2 blocks from the beach/Camille’s beachside restaurant. It was very easy access. They had coffee & well stocked supplies. WE LOVED MORNINGS ON THE BACK PORCH, SO LOVELY!

The house was beautiful, as was the neighborhood, close to the beach. Could have had some beach chairs, umbrella, beach wagon to use during our stay. Extra blankets and pillows would have been nice. Some of the outdoor lights were not working. Overall, I would stay there again!
