Beautiful home in great location

The house is large enough for 7 adults and 1 child. The pool is wonderful. We enjoyed cooking breakfast on the Viking stove. The beach is in walking distance and we rented an umbrella and chairs. We had a wonderful time.

Enjoyed immensely!!

We had a fantastic experience! This property was perfect for our family! There were a few tiny glitches that I will not rate down for because the property manager was extremely responsive- both in timeliness and resolution! The pool was amazing and we were walking distance to the beach. Quiet and beautiful neighborhood was wonderful!

We had an excellent stay at this property. The home was exactly as described in the listing, and the photos accurately represented what we found upon arrival. The pool area is beautiful, and the private beach access is a wonderful bonus. The community is tucked away in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood, making it a perfect place to relax.There were just a couple of minor issues. A few of the light bulbs on the second floor were burned out, and the bathroom rugs in the master bathroom appeared as though they may not have been freshly washed before our arrival. These were small details and did not impact our overall enjoyment of the home.This is a lovely older beach house with plenty of charm. While it's not brand new or completely perfect, it is beautiful, comfortable, and exactly what we were looking for. We would absolutely stay here again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others looking for a peaceful beach getaway.

All We Hoped It Would Be

We have been staying in Caribe every year for 15 years and have admired this house from our walks every year. After such a long build up, we couldn't believe how perfect this house was. Open floor plan gave together time while I cooked, a beautiful master bath, gorgeous pool and outdoor areas, amazing sunrises through the front windows. All you could want in a luxury stay. Zee, the property mgr was attentive and kind.

This house was beautiful inside and out. The location was perfect - a short (5 min) walk to the private beach inside a quiet and lovely gated subdivision. The private beach made such a difference - even though it was the busy season, we felt like we had the ocean practically to ourselves. The pool was amazing - dark bottom/lining made the water perfectly warm, and it is very large with enough room for a family to play in. The house itself is very charming, and we loved the open layout with separate/private feeling bedrooms in the main house, and the separate pool guest house was perfect for a high school or college kid. We will book this house again, 100%!

Pool is large. Goes from ~3.5-8 feet deep.

amazing property horrible VRBO experience

We loved the property and the manager was super helpful! Would stay at this property again just not if it is through VRBO. We found this property after our initial booking was cancelled a week before our trip and no reason or help was offered from VRBO despite that guarantee we paid for! So grateful we found this property at the last minute when we were left without a property by VRBO.

Great Stay

Check in was incredibly easy. The property manager was so nice! The house was great. It was very clean. Very. We had enough towels and we had zero issues. The neighborhood is amazing. The pool was so warm. It had a dark bottom which helps naturally warm the water. I hate cold pools lol. We enjoyed this one. If you stay, just be sure to bring footwear to wear by the pool, because the slate can get very hot from the sun. I would recommend this olace to anyone.

Excellent Vacation

My husband and I took 6 high school graduates down to the beach to celebrate. This was the perfect house for our group! The house was very large, so we could all spread out. It is located in a beautiful quiet gated community with an easy walk to the beach. The kitchen was wonderful to cook in! I especially liked that there were 2 refrigerators. The private courtyard pool was amazing! We spent more time there than on the beach. We rent through VRBO at least twice a year, and this property management company was the best we have every dealt with! They were in communication whenever we had questions. Excellent customer service! We would definitely rent this property again!

DO NOT STAY HERE

I feel obligated to tell/warn others trying to have a good vacation, DO NOT STAY HERE! We booked a weeks vacation for our family of 4, including 2 small children, and could not get out of here fast enough. After our first night, we searched endlessly for somewhere else to go. Finally after our 3rd night, we thankfully found an opening somewhere else. To sum it up shortly, almost everything in the house was broken or did not work properly, all the dishes in the cabinets were dirty, the house looked and smelled as if it had never been cleaned, the curtains were so old that they were dry rotted, none of the fireplaces worked, grill did not work, just to name a few. This place should not be rented to anyone until many, many, many repairs are made!

We feel obligated to respond to your horrible review. The first day you said the cable didn’t work and the pool wasn’t heated. We had the pool repaired the next day and we called about cable. Then you complained about grill. It was t until the 4th night you threatened to leave a horrible review with a bunch of other lies if you did not receive a free stay. After we asked what else we could do for you and your threats and lies we asked you to leave and we refunded the rest of your stay. You left the Kitchen in a mess and shells in the pool. I would not rent to this dishonest, threatening person ever again.

Beautiful home in a nice gated community with a private beach. Kids can safely ride bikes around this neighborhood. Parking is a little tight between house and a retaining wall, but plenty of room - just be careful open your door. Master bathroom is fantastic, and kitchen is beautiful and well stocked with pots, pans and dishes. Beach is #1. House pool is really nice, but needs swept. Pool cleaner was supposed to come Friday, but he didn’t. Check-in was very easy. Overall great place!

Fantastic Property with a Great Location

This property is right in the middle of everything going on in Sandestin. But as soon as you pass the gates there is a quite calm to the neighborhood. Nothing is cookie cutter but there is a nice theme to the entire neighborhood. The walk to the beach is pleasant, the open floor plan is great for entertaining, the pool is private and large. The only negative is the clothes dryer and pool heater.

Gorgeous pool, wonderful neighborhood

We had a wonderful family vacation in the Caribe neighborhood! The rental agency and owner were so easy to work with and quick to answer any questions. We cannot stress enough how beautiful the pool is and the neighborhood is so charming and quaint. The home is exactly as you see it in the pics and accurately described. It is not your typical “beachy” rental, but is very beautiful just the same. Short walk to the beach and renting chairs and umbrellas through Diamond rentals was a breeze. Truly a beautiful rental and made for an unforgettable trip!

Cockroaches everywhere in the house!!!! Not clean, and property management took $650 for no reason!

Be aware of your damage deposit and the cockroaches!!!! We have found dead bugs under beds, and cockroaches in large numbers inside the house, and on the porch from day 1. By day 3 when everyone in the family was grossed out staying there and afraid to go to bed, I called the management company to send pest control out. The pest control person acknowledged the large number of bugs and said "welcome to Florida". My children wanted to leave as these cockroaches were in their bedrooms, and on the stairs, outside, and in the kitchen. We also saw a lizard on the stairs to the bedrooms. In addition, the home is very dated, not kept up, and wasn't properly cleaned upon arrival. There was also a snake outside of the master bedroom door in the back. The 2nd floor shower was leaking water from the 2nd floor onto the living room ceiling. The management company called someone out who said they would have to rip the shower out. They asked us not to use that bathroom which made it very inconvenient. After our stay on top of all this: Property management lied and accused us with various claims in order to deduct $650! They said "I stole a night lamp and put it in my luggage", so they had to spend $400 on 2 night lamps. The only issue we caused was 1 wobbly night lamp was pulled down by my 1year old niece who had to be rushed to the emergency room because it cut her face and ear in many places. They said the pest control person said that "we invited the cockroaches in" which the man did not say. The property management also said "we caused the shower leak" even though he texted during our stay that they won't be able to fix it because they have to rip the shower out. After I realized they arbitrarily took $650 from our damage deposit, the property management person said "I am not going to argue with you", refused to answer any of my calls, and said the owner spent $400 on 2 night lamps but refused to send or show any evidence of anything he accused us of. We regret this experience and very frustrated that $650 was taken without just cause or proof or wrong doing. We left the house as clean as we found it. Both the issues we complained about during our stay was turned against us in order for them to give a false reason for taking $650 from us.

DO NOT RENT TO THIS PERSON!! I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH! SHE TRIED TO LIE TO HER CREDIT CARD COMPANY TO GET HER DAMAGE DEPOSIT BACK – THEY DID NOT GIVE IT TO HER AS SHE IS A LIAR AND SHE WILL DESTROY YOUR PROPERTY. THE PEST CONTROL COMPANY CALLED ME AND SAID THERE WERE BUGS INSIDE BECAUSE THERE WAS FOOD EVERYWHERE – WHICH SHE LEFT DIRTY DIAPERS AND FOOD OUT EVERYWHERE. ALSO, THE PLUMERS CAME BACK AND COULD NOT FIND A LEAK TO FIX AND SAID THAT THEY HAD OVERFILLED THE BATHTUB. THEY ALSO MOVED FURNITURE FROM THE LIVING ROOM TO THE BEDROOM, FRONT YARD TO THE BACK YARD. THE EXPENSIVE LAMPS SHE DIDN’T EVEN MENTION BREAKING AND CALLED THEM CHEAP, WHICH THEY WERE THE MOST EXPENSIVE IN THE HOME. DO NOT RENT TO THIS PERSON – SHE WILL TRY TO DESTROY YOUR HOME AND THEN CONTACT HER CREDIT CARD COMPANY TO TRY TO GET HER MONEY BACK – SHE DID NOT GET IT!!! OWNER & MANAGEMENT COMPANY BEWARE!!!

Family vacation

This house is beautiful, well equipped with a great layout. Perfect place to gather together with all the outside seating. The pool - absolutely beautiful! This year it was important to find a place where we would enjoy staying in more as dining out during COVID times is more difficult. This home and area did not disappoint!

Pool is the star of the show...

We had a lovely time. House is a large Italian villa style with master on main and away from rest of bedrooms (great for large family). There are three refrigerators which made it great for storing drinks and frozen treats. The pool is just the star of this show - beautiful, large, well appointed. Zee could not have been more responsive. The appliances are “rental quality” but the stove and oven are Viking and fun to cook on. The street and community are nice and quiet even though it’s very close to outlets etc. Overall great trip and four teenage girls loved it!
