Family vaca

House was very nice very large family area room for all. Master bedroom was ridiculous large and convenient to family area. 3rd floor was very warm during the day but cooled down at night. Hole home seemed to be warm we had fans that helped I do not think thermostat was working right. All and all we enjoyed our stay it was nice the beach was in walking distance which was great because parking at the beach was very limited.

Nice Single Family Size

This was a great place for Mom and Dad plus six kids. The pool and patio are super convenient. The kitchen was nice and well stocked. Loved the fridge! Laundry was a little old, but did the job. Jack and Jill upstairs rooms were good. Upstairs bedroom was too hot to really use but not sure what else they can do about that. (I wouldn't plan on using that as an actual sleeping room.) We appreciated the decor and the master was peaceful with a nice view of the lake. The location of a short walk to the beach was lovely, and we enjoyed the nearby community pool. Nice option to use the beach wagon. Gated community felt secure. House was clean and the perfect place for a family to vacation in Destin.

Best Vacation!

Best trip to Destin that we have had! This beach house was absolutely amazing! Kris made every part of our stay easy. Great communication! We traveled with all of our kids and grandkids for a total of 14 people and there was more than enough room for everyone. It was perfect! Not even a 10 minute walk to the beach! We will be booking through Kris again! Thank you! ❤️

About the host

Host profile image
Hi and welcome to the beach! As a North Dakota native, I escaped the cold and snow and am proud to be an Emerald Coast resident since 2002! I own and operate a small collection of amazing vacation rental properties with my boutique agency, Beach Stays Vacations. I realized the way people vacation has changed along with their expectations and I couldn't find a company to manage my properties the way I would. And that is how Beach Stays Vacations was born! We are selective about the properties we manage and have curated an amazing collection of beach condos and villas in Florida and Alabama! We promise a well decorated and equipped, clean condo to make your beach vacation the best it can be!

Why they chose this property

Destiny is located on Scenic 98 in a gated neighborhood of million-dollar homes with resort style amenities. From the minute you enter the gate, you will feel like you are on the tropical vacation of your dreams! Our home is located on the beautiful lake with the Gulf of Mexico just beyond. We enjoy sharing our family's home with our guests and hope that you can make the same priceless memories that we have!
