Bachelorette party

We had a group of 13 girls for a bachelorette party. We had the most amazing time. The house is VERY spacious with plenty of beds and bathrooms. It’s a very short walk to the beach and the pool was a perfect addition. We couldn’t be happier and do not have a single regret.

Amazing!!

This house was perfect for our group. It looks brand new and there was plenty of space for everyone. The back deck area was our favorite place to hang out, especially with the heated pool! Beach was very close and so were several restaurants. I think we've found our new vacation spot in Destin!! We can't wait to come back

Great week in Destin!

We loved this home! We had 4 families - each set of parents had a master and the kids had the whole 3rd floor with both a girls room and a boys room. The walk to the beach was short - 5 min max. The outdoor space was great too. House was spacious and comfortable for our group of 17.

Perfect house in the perfect location

Me and 11 girlfriends stayed here and it was so great! The pool was great and the house was perfectly located less than 5 mins from the beach. We did encounter 1 cockroach which I know is to be expected down south so jt wasn’t a huge deal. Overall house was very clean and comfortable

Good location

We stayed at this property with two other families. The location is good within walking distance to beach and close to restaurants. I will note that the upstairs and downstairs are separate. There is no interior stairway to get from each level. The WiFi did not work well for us so if you need to keep up with your businesses/work you may want to consider that as well. The heated pool was great since the temperature was very cold for Florida the time we were there.

Great house for our group of 15

We were pleased with the cleanliness and open feel to this home. Kitchen was well supplied with plates, cookware and utensils. A quiet street and plenty of areas for play and visiting. Loved the wine/beer frig on 1st and 2nd floors. Appliances do need to be checked as dryer was too slow and broiler did not work in oven. Number of towels and initial supplies were generous and appreciated. It may be helpful to supply information regarding suggested beach areas as we were surprised to find some beach areas labeled “private”. Overall a great stay!
