Shannon the owner was wonderful to work with!!! The house was well stocked and PERFECT for our needs! We loved having the private pool as well as the community pool area. It was a lovely and relaxing vacation!!!! Would HIGHLY recommend this VRBO house!!
Our stay was WONDERFUL! The gold cart made beach access close, quick and FUN to get to! The kids loved it! The house was amazing with everything we needed and then some. Easy access via the golf cart to church and plenty of restaurants. Shannon was quick to respond with any questions that we did have.
Our first time in Destin and this house and its location were perfect for our family. Owners were great and helpful and the house and amenities were perfect. We would definitely go back there again.
Our family had an amazing time here, so nice to have all the amenities like a heated pool, golf cart as well as access to the playground, pickleball court etc. The house was well equipped with everything, and we would happily recommend to future guests! It was a short walk to the beach which was honestly the best beach we’ve ever seen!
What a great area! The heated pool was so nice as the temps were in the 60s. Gold art included was an awesome bonus. Beach entrance and nice restaurant less than 1/2 mile away! Shannon our host was just a text away. Home was accommodating. Had everything we needed.
Awesome, clean property, close to beach, golf cart made travel easy!! Entire family enjoyed the private pool & community amenities!! Hostesses were excellent!!
This property is nice and in a great quiet neighborhood. Easy access to a lot of places and the beach and parking are easy to get to with the golf cart. Wonderful people and great property! Highly recommend!
Had a great time at this property. Liked it so much we tried to book another stay in February but they were booked. If you have toddler they have plenty of stuff to accommodate. We loved the private pool, and the golf cart is always a good time there. Thanks y’all!
This was all that it was said to be. Great communication with owner as well as home was clean and all that it was advertised. The golf cart made it very convenient as well as fun for the kiddos.
We loved everything about our stay. The owner was fantastic to work with and easy to communicate with. The house had more than we expected. This vacation was the best we've had and was the perfect way to celebrate our son's birthday. We can't wait to book again :)
This property was great. Large enough for everyone in our family to spread out. We loved playing board games and sitting watching movies at night. The kids really enjoyed the swimming pool. Having the golf cart available to go to the beaches, stores and around the complex was a real help. We loved our stay here.
The house is well maintained and the host,Shannon, is great at communicating on a timely basis for any issues or questions. Location to beach, restaurants, grocery stores, etc.is outstanding. The amenities in Destiny East were great- pool, gym, pickleball court. Lastly, the golf cart was a fun and useful addition making getting around very simple.
Outside of the floors not being fully cleaned, the property itself was an A+. The property owners were great at communicating with us. The house was stocked with everything we could need and then some, including beach/pool toys and chairs, linens, towels, and fully stocked kitchen and appliances, bikes, golf cart, etc. It's a quick golf cart ride to the beach and house is close to nearby restaurants/grocery. We would definitely stay again.
Our family had a wonderful vacation in Destin. The house is an excellent location and the golf cart makes trips to the beach very convenient and fun!
The pool is great for kids.
Shannon communicates everything in a timely manner and provides any updates when needed.
The house is set up well for multiple generations and well suited for our group of 7.
We hope to return next summer.
My wife and I have kids in 3 other states. This was a great place to get together in the midst of the pandemic. The golf cart made the trip to the beach a simple thing. Everything was as it was advertised on VRBO. The owners were extremely helpful (even when I accidentally set off the alarm and the fire department showed up).
The house was very nice. Fit our family of 10 perfectly. The golf cart and bikes were an added bonus. With 10 people I would suggest more towels. We had 1 set of towels per person so with little kids we were washing towels every night. Had an issue with the alarm system which we weren’t aware the house even had one. There was no info on it. Also the pool heater didn’t work but the owners got someone there as soon as they could. We had 3 days of a beautiful heated pool. Close to the beach and in a very nice neighborhood. Would definitely rent again.
This house was perfect for clan of 10. It was three generations. There was plenty of room to spread out and everybody had their own space. We had four babies, 2 and under. Shannon had purchased two pack and plays and a highchair prior to our trip. It definitely helped with our packing. We put both families with the small children upstairs and grandma and grandpa stayed on the main level. We thought the home was very well laid out and you couldn’t hear much unless you went into the main family room, where there wasn’t a lot of soundproof. The home was very very clean when we arrived and check-in was perfect. Shannon‘s communication before our trip, and addressing any questions we had was almost immediate. The golf cart was so fun! Each family would take it out for a short drive during the day. We also rode the bikes which were in great condition. There’s a huge bag of sand toys available as well as many floats in the garage. The kitchen was well stocked , and there were a few extras like additional toilet paper, dish soap, and coffee.
