Wonderful experience! This was our first trip to Destin, we visited at the end of March. We lucked out on gorgeous 70-75 weather and had the pool heated. Our crew included three families with a total of 8 children. The house was perfect for our needs. The layout was perfect for the age span of the kids and the separate spaces for grownups. My parents especially appreciated the separate pool house space ;-) The house was exactly as pictured, clean, and well stocked with all the necessary items. We had an absolute blast taking am and pm walks on the beach, playing in the pool during the day, and movies at night. The house is situated perfectly to the beach, restaurants on scenic 98 and 98 and I thought the proximity between the harbor walk and Miramar beach was excellent for excursions. The beach was gorgeous white sand and emerald water and well maintained. Anything we needed for the house was handled immediately by our host contact and the correspondence leading up to our trip was top notch. I absolutely would stay here again and the kids are already talking about going back next year.
It was amazing and everything was in close around. The entire family had a an amazing time.

We celebrated my husband's 90th with children and a granddaughter (29). Close walk to the beautiful beach, very clean and inviting swimming pool. Comfortable rooms with private bathrooms left you privacy. It was perfect.

We had a great time staying here on the summer break. The house was in a great location, however, there are some minor fixes but not a bigger deal. The host has been easy to communicate with and accommodate as needed. We would stay here again. Thanks
There were 12 of us total ranging from
1-53 and we had a great time. The pool is a hit w the toddlers and the teenagers and is good to not deal w the sand for a day if wanted. Bette is great communicator!

Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that your group of 12, ranging from 1 to 53, had a great time. It’s wonderful to know that the pool was a hit with both the toddlers and teenagers, providing a great alternative to the beach.
We’re glad that Bette was able to communicate effectively and make your stay enjoyable. We look forward to welcoming you back for another great getaway!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property! Tons of space where everyone had their own bed/bath but also plenty of room to gather together. We were there only a short time so we didn't cook meals, but if we had cooked everything we needed was there. We enjoyed the nice pool and the beach was only a short walk away so that was easily enjoyed as well. Cannot say enough how easy and thorough the communication was with the property manager! We didn't need a thing but if we had she was only a phone call away and very attentive. We can't wait to go back again and stay longer! Highly recommend!

Daniel, I am not sure why you gave this house a 4 with all that was offered. I as the manager took care of your needs even sending my husband over twice relative to a TV issue. I am not sure what more we could have offered with you getting special pricing since booked with another company before, a pool, 4 people enjoying a house that sleeps 17 with the Cabana house. I think this was surely a 5 star experience. I do not believe you ever contacted me to suggest any issues with the clean and your satisfaction of the house.
Great location. 1/2 block to beach and 2 blocks to cute coffee shop/lunch spot. Very convenient to groceries and amenities. Pool cabana is perfect for a couple with infant, it has a little kitchenette. Bedrooms in house are large and have nice big closets. Many balconies and areas to be outside. Bette, the property manager was awesome!! She helped with pre trip info about bikes, tennis courts and even tried to find a kennel for my dog. She answered any questions right away while we were staying in the home as well. Overall great experience for our group of 7.

Reviewer Comments:
The layout of the house worked out for the 4 families that we had on vacation. The fact that the house wasn't raised up was also very helpful for my MIL who typically has trouble with stairs. Very convenient to the beach access, the only problem is the public beach access closest to the house is VERY small. You need to walk down a little further to have more room.

This place was incredible for our large group. The cabana proved to be a perfect space for my brother and his wife with their new baby- away from the chaos of the adults, when needed. We won’t rent another space without a private pool, as this was perfect for those who wanted to lounge around for moments when they didn’t want to head to the beach. The neighborhood is surprisingly quiet, and you’re also able to rent and park golf carts as needed. Will return next year!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled that the cabana was a perfect fit for your family's needs and that the private pool added to everyone's enjoyment. It sounds like the quiet neighborhood and the convenience of golf cart rentals also enhanced your experience. We're delighted to hear that you plan to return next year, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another incredible stay!
The property was great, the entire family had a great time. The three teenage boys enjoyed their secluded time, as we allowed them to stay in the pool house together.
We had a minor plumbing issue Saturday evening, but within one hour of contacting the property manager a plumber was at the house and took care of the issue in 15 minutes.
The only problem we encountered was the public beach area was very limited and very crowded. Much of the beach which is in walking distance is private. We decided to drive (8mins) to Henderson Beach and had a blast.
Staying in the house was me, my wife, our kids and grandkids and we had great family nights in the house.

Had the best time staying at this home with my daughter and her friends for spring break. The house was clean and photos of the property are accurate. The cabana was perfect for two moms to share. The pool was great (we had it heated) and we all enjoyed the poolside grill for a few nights. Most important - Bette the property manager is beyond amazing! I can’t say enough about her hospitality and helpfulness. She is an “above and beyond” kind of person all the way. If you report anything to her, it is taken care of immediately. Love her! I would definitely stay at this home again without question. The vibe of the neighborhood - safe, two minute walk from the beach and quiet hours at night. But not super uptight. Abide by the “four cars only” rule. You will get a citation if you block the sidewalk. There is a public parking lot with shops two minutes away that does not tow if you park there. Have fun! We sure did!

Reviewer Comments:
Overall my family of 14 had a very good time. The rental accommodations fit our needs very well and the youngsters enjoyed the pool. However, our stay did not go without some negatives. The dishwasher broke early in our stay and could not be fixed before we left. There was a leak under the lavatory in the pool house which did get fixed. A propane tank we tried to use with the outdoor grill leaked which could have been very bad. There was a second tank we were able to use. There was no pantry in the kitchen which was very inconvenient (never have run across this in the many houses we have rented over the years; very unusual). Not enough dishes/cups in pool house. The back door was very difficult to open and close. Only OK from a cleanliness standpoint. Finally, I thought the rental cost was high for the condition of the house.

Thank you for reviewing your stay. We are so happy to hear that the kids were able to enjoy the pool and that our accommodations fit your needs! However, we are so sorry that the dishwasher was not working. We apologize that we were unable to have it replaced prior to your departure and regret any inconvenience this may have caused. We also apologize if you felt there were not enough dishes in our home! Our records indicate that after being notified of the dish/cup shortage, our property manager delivered extra plates, cups, and silverware to the unit. However, we have scheduled an inventory check and will be sure to replace any missing items. We have also alerted our maintenance team of the issue with the back door and propane tank. Good news! The dishwasher has been replaced and our team is actively addressing your concerns. Thank you again for your review and we hope you will accept our sincerest apologies! We hope you will choose to return for an improved vacation experience and look forward to seeing you again!
