We just wrapped up a weeklong stay at this property and the whole experience was amazing. The property is huge and had plenty of room for our large family. The bunk room was great for kids and the location on the beach can’t be beat.

House overall meet our needs. Great location and views. Beach set up was a great perk. A few minor maintenance issues some fixed while we were there others not. Saw 2 huge roaches in the kitchen but hey it’s Florida. Overall a great week and would definitely book again

Thank you for your feedback! We're so glad to hear the home met your needs and that you enjoyed the location, views, and beach setup—it really is a great perk! We appreciate your patience with the minor maintenance issues and are addressing the remaining ones promptly. As for the roaches, you're right—Florida's tropical climate does bring some unwelcome visitors from time to time, but we do have regular pest control in place and will be sure to follow up. We’re thrilled you had a great week overall and would love to host you again!
Star of the Sea was the perfect setting for our group’s beach trip. The kids loved having a sleepover in the bunk room, and each couple was appreciative of having their own king sized bed. Being able to see the beach from the pool was a big plus, as was being able to see the pool from the living area. Would definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're always happy to hear when guests enjoy their stay and appreciate the care we put into the space. It’s our goal to create a comfortable, welcoming environment, and it means a lot that it made a difference in your visit. We’d love to host you again anytime!
The house itself and location was perfect for our family escape from reality! My husband, our 3 adult children, their spouses and children had a wonderful 8 days/nights! The house allowed for plenty of space for 11 of us, and the location was ideal. We all stayed in the 5 large bedrooms of the main house and did not feel crammed for space. The house is beautiful and the pool/back porch area was perfect for occasional breaks out of the full sun! The short walk to the beach was convenient for going back & forth throughout the day. I highly recommend this property!

Great location for all the necessities. All our favorite restaurants were minutes away and anything else we needed to stock up on was just a short drive away. House was awesome and the beach was just steps away. Definitely doing a return trip in the near future.

Beautiful house and beachfront. Very nice back porch and covered pool; very nice for little ones. Also had a good stock of beach toys. We really enjoyed it. Just one small suggestion - it would have been nice to have a larger pot for boiling water and such.

Property manger was very easy to work with. Great communication. Process was very easy getting in and out.
Enjoyed this beautiful beach house with a private pool!
Very easy access to the beach with beach chairs that were set-up for us.
We had 3 couples with plenty of room. Very clean and comfortable. Beds were comfortable.
Downside, not enough kitchen supplies and need better toilet paper!
Would recommend this vacation beach home!!
This property was just perfect! It is close to everything and the beach is beautiful. I would definitely book this property again! The only con I have is that they need better toilet paper😂😬! The kitchen had everything we needed. The guest house is a nice addition and the pool is very clean. We also had Chef Jekyll come in and cook my husband’s birthday dinner. It was a great week!!!

Annual "girlfriend beach therapy" for a group of high school friends from Indiana now living all over the US. We have rented many houses on the beach in Destin (over 25 years), but this is the best. Next year we will all be 80 and we will be back!!! God willing!!!
