Everything was clean, the area was very quiet, about 7 minutes from the beach by car. The owner was very friendly and answered all our questions quickly.
Couldn’t find a better spot to keep a boat and have all the convenience’s of home , well definitely stay there again. Very convenient to Destin. House was well stocked with towels , detergent , dishes and such.

We stayed with two small dogs…. So many sticker (sandspurs) in the yard that letting them outside was impossible. First time in the yard, we picked over 60 from their paws and hair. Painful. Owner does not put effort into amenities.Only heat/ac was very loud window units.One night stay was definitely not worth the 333 charge
It was so convenient with all the attractions and restaurants. It was such a quiet neighborhood.neighbor was really nice.the owner is very nice as well I will be back definitely
I was looking for quite some time for a nice place for my gals and I to stay for our beach trip and this certainly was the place! It’s in a great location! Close to everything and the owners are very kind and respond swiftly! Only downfall is the house is a little run down but that didn’t stop us from having an amazing time!
Is a little bit older home but nice location and a very attentive owner to any needs you may have. Only 5 min or so from public beach and gulf seashore we loved. If we go back to panhandle of Florida we would stay again.

Conveniently located property. Needs some sprucing up with the decor as in more comfortable living room seating. Enjoyed the front porch and accessibility to public beaches and the park.
Very clean house with everything you would need for your stay.
Easy process. From finding it to checking in. The house is older but very clean and comfortable. I would rent this property again.

Thanks again

Ideal location. Very clean except for a couple dead roaches. The A/C worked, but it never got cool, so I would bring a fan next time. This place had nice utilities and had everything we needed for a great stay.

Sketchy
Sketchy neighborhood, homeless people nearby, floors caving in, screws sticking up can cut feet, lacking silverware & utensils. Plus side- comfortable beds, washer & dryer, good shower
I felt safe having all the motion detector lights around the outside of the house. There was a lot of foot traffic a block away, but the little side street the house is on was quiet! The house itself had all the essentials and we were happy to have our pets with us!

Everything about this property was so simple and easy. The host was very attentive to the questions I had. The location was on a great place. Very calm. The house itself was older, but it was very homey and filled with things that you wouldn’t expect normally and had everything we needed! Would definitely rent this property again!
My family and I enjoyed our stay. Enjoyed the convenience of having our dogs with us and close access to everything we wanted to see! Wish the yard was fenced in only because the dogs from the neighbors house roam free and we had two incidents walking our dogs out to use the bathroom and running into unleashed dogs from next door. Could use a bit of updating but the hosts were extremely helpful and responded quickly to any questions I had.
The location was fantastic, just down the street from dining, shopping and the beach. Could easily ride a bicycle to the Fort Walton shopping strip! The house had everything you may want/need for your trip. The host was awesome and was super easy to work with and extremely responsive. Kid and pet friendly rental, plenty of parking! We will definitely pack less next trip to The Pearl since they have everything available to use when you get there.

Thank you for the great review. I am very happy to hear you enjoyed The Pearl and you visit to the area. I will be looking forward to having you stay again. Wernher Ryals
It’s a great little cottage much nicer than any hotel room you’ll find at that price. It’s conveniently located and the host was great. The bathroom door doesn’t close well, which is awkward as close as the beds are to the bathroom. I also wouldn’t stay here with my dogs again because the neighbor’s dog hopped the fence pretty easily and gave mine a hard time, making it hard to walk mine.
