Our stay was as wonderful this year as last. Second trip is in the books and we hope to return next year. The houses and pool are very clean and welcoming. The owner is extremely responsive and helpful. Shopping and the beach are within walking distance, but the golf cart is the way to go! Thank you for another opportunity to vacation at your beautiful place!
Our family stay was amazing. Jill is the best! Her communication was amazing. She answered every question and responses with amazing speed. The house was super neat and clean. The pool was a big hit with the kids. It was so close to all the beaches . There was plenty of room for all our family. I would highly recommend this house to all family’s. Thanks to Jill for a great time in her house.
Very convenient to the beach, and what beautiful beaches there are! The golf cart was very convenient to run to the beach, and Publix grocery store. The house is huge and nicely decorated. Two adults stayed in the casita while the rest were in the main house. The swimming pool was used every day, several times a day.
What a great place to stay! We had our family there for a get together. The space was fun and inviting and the rooms were large and comfortable. Having a pool was amazing as the grandkids loved it and the location of the house was superb. Walk to the beach, yet out of the main town Destin rat race! The added golf cart was a lifesaver getting everyone to the ice cream shop!Communication from Jill and everyone was timely and effective. Do yourself a favor and book this place - you won’t regret it!
We had a great week at this home. It was very clean and well maintained. The backyard was very private and perfect for relaxing after time at the beach. We loved the golf cart as an added feature. Made getting to the beach so easy We did have issues with the internet but the host was very receptive and had someone out to look at it quickly. Would definitely stay here again.
Our stay was great! The host was very responsive and provided a lot of extra details for our stay. The living room area was perfect for our group and the poolside area was comfy and welcoming. Short walk to beach and golf cart was great for short trips to nearby areas. Would recommend for big families.
House was beautiful. Loved the private pool and backyard. Great area for families! Overall we really enjoyed our stay. Communication with the owner was great! Overall 10/10 experience!
Our family loved staying at this beautiful property! Jill is incredibly responsive to questions and went the extra mile to ensure everything about our stay was awesome. The home is only a block away from some of the most beautiful beaches and the heated pool was great for the kids. We would definitely recommend this property, and we plan to come back!!
Jill was extremely responsive to any of inquiries I had, was flexible on some important issues. The house was very nice, along with the heated pool in the backyard. The beds were very comfortable, kitchen well stocked. It was great for 3 couples. The beach access is very close to walk to, Publix and Whole Foods were within a short distance.
As usual everything was exceptional ! We are repeat guests to this property and won’t look elsewhere from the home to the owner and prop mng and all the attributes it’s a 10 out of 10 !!
The house was perfect, very clean and well maintained. Location was perfect close to everything. The swimming pool was a hit! Very close to the beach. Communication was great with the owner.We will definitely be back!
