  • REEL BLESSING is newly renovated & under new ownership! WE ARE LOCATED in the gated community of Emerald Shores...WITHIN 100 YARDS TO THE BEACH! DID YOU KNOW THAT WE ALSO HAVE RESTROOMS ON THE BEACH?!!!

    REEL BLESSING is a two-story luxury vacation home located approximately 2 minute walk to the beach and is only two houses away from the main neighborhood pool within the EMERALD SHORES subdivision, a gated beach ownership community! EMERALD SHORES is the only residential community in Destin that has a private beach pavilion with restrooms, outdoor showers, beach service and it's very own Cabana beachside.

Short walk to the Beach

The house was very nice, clean, and decorated very nicely. The owner was nice and responsive and provided all the information needed. The house was a short walk to the beach as well as the pool. A couple of restaurants were within walking distance. Very safe and quiet community.

Fun in the Sun

Very nice and loved the location of the house from beach to pool. The home was nice and only a few things we had to let owner know about. I loved the fact we did not have to unpack our car and take an elevator up to any floors, all we had to do is unpack and move in. The bathrooms were great and beds comfortable. It was great having a Dollar General within walking distance, to pick up supplies we needed. The beach was great and dinning was close. We will be back.

Beautiful property, excellent location, two houses from the pool and 300 yards from the beach.

We are snow birds from Michigan and stayed here for seven weeks. The house was great, met all of our needs and very well stocked. The master bedroom/bath is on the main floor, and the two guest rooms on the second floor. Had friends and family join us, and they loved it as well. Coming back next year.

Rate 3 starsCONS:All bed and bath linens need inspection: sheets and pillow case stained, bed pillows flat like a two dollar purchase, towels shredded. Hall toilet and door dirty, HVAC air return and filter filthy. First level back porch too dirty to use. First level hall bath toilet loose, freezer side of refrigerator leaking water. Front door appearance makes very bad first impression due to filth and broken blinds, making it suspect about what we would find inside on arrival. Front door not functioning such couldn’t open left side making passage too narrow for luggage (or wheelchair in my case), second level porch table has shattered tile insert. PROS: good Destin location, gated community, nice pools, private secured beach pavilion with easy access, very accessible and responsive host, nice corner lot, sofa recliners a great plus (especially for me as served as a handicap bed), updates were notable , kitchen well supplied , good WiFi speed first level, weaker signal second level, lots of available power outlets for chargers etc, pre-visit extensive list of what to bring and rules of rental, but needs edits/update. SUGGESTIONS: send in a repair man before next listing, add a couple of handicap bars in first level master bath (toilet and shower) for older clients, add cushions to bar stools, have HOA deal with driveway ant beds and quit blowing trash onto back porch, new cleaning service, visit property on occasion as problems aren’t recent

Great location!

There were 5 kids under the age of 9 and 4 adults. This house was the perfect size for our group. It is located within a short walk of the private beach the HOA owns. There are plenty of beach toys provided as well as a wagon. The owner was very responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommend!
