Numerous golf courses are within a few miles.

Casagrande August 2023

The booking and check-in was easy with the property owner friendly and promptly responsive to all our questions. The house is huge, we had 4-5 families with 11-13 persons and 2 small dogs with plenty of room, kitchen was tight but efficient. The two king master suites were a huge hit but other bedrooms were spacious as well. Convenient to the pool, the beach and overflow parking if you need more than 3 spaces. The gated neighborhood was great (as usual) our 12th year in Emerald Shores. I would recommend this house and hope that stay again.

Loved it!

This house was so beautiful, perfectly located, and exactly what we needed! The Destin beaches were incredible and the shuttle literally always picked us up on our short walk to the beach. Definitely recommend staying here- Owner was super helpful and we loved the home!

Beautiful house

The house was great for our family vacation. The kitchen is great and the rooms are separate providing privacy. My siblings and I with our children and mother and father had a wonderful trip. The 14 of us had plenty of room. The walk to the beach was longer than I expected and we had to cross the road but it was way enough to get to. The location of the pool was perfect.

Family Reunion

My family and I stayed here for a family reunion/summer vacation. Al was very responsive and easy to get a hold of of we needed anything. The house was exactly how described and slept all of us comfortable. The second day we were there the washer and dryer broke and I contacted Al and he immediately looked into the situation and kept us updated.

About the host

Hosted by Alvin R Appling

We hope you enjoy your visit at Casa Grande! We spent Christmas 2013 here and have cherished the memories of our family enjoying each other in our house by the sea. We live just blocks away from the house and are available for any questions or information needed.
We Love happy customers and we will do all we can to be sure you visit us again and again!

Why they chose this property

We were a military family and later worked in the civilian sector. During our military career we traveled many places and we do not think there is a better family vacation destination than here. We liked it so much that we built our retirement home here and just love the area.

What makes this property unique

There are parking spaces for three cars plus overflow parking across the street by the pool. If you bring a trailer it not allowed to be parked in the Emerald Shores complex therefore arrangements to park the trailer elsewhere will need to be made.
