Great house, great location!
This house was perfect for our trip with me, my husband, 4 teens and a 10 year old. The location was perfect…close to the beach and close to shops. The communication was amazing. The house was described perfectly and was clean! We only went to the beach one time because the pool was just what we needed! We would absolutely book this property again. We love Destin!

Great house in Destin!
Overall, this house is great! Very clean, spacious enough for our family of 6, nice pool, beach gear to use...it had everything we needed. The management company was great - friendly and responsive to our questions/needs. We were literally a 5 minute walk from the beach! Shopping was close by too. We'd definitely stay here again.

Perfect house & location
A spectacular week with two families (5 kids total). House was great, pool was awesome, and location was the best. We timed it! About 12 minutes round trip (drinks in hand) from front door to our feet in the water on the beach, and back to the front door. Obviously, we stayed and played on the white sand beach for much longer. Customer service was amazing, too. They called and texted to make sure the check in and check out process was as simple as possible. And when we realized we didn’t want to leave…they made it super easy to book another night (luckily it was available!)
