Very accommodating- quick to respond! House is beautiful- we’ve stayed at a couple in the neighborhood and this one is our new favorite- so spacious, green space out back, love the layout. It’s perfect… golf cart ride to shops/restaurant/groceries/the beach- and Baytown wharf which the kids LOVE. The internet did not work, turns out it was an outdated network/passwork- they tried to fix but still- but even with updated network- it was too spotty to be able to use their cable or stream anything… we had tablets for the kids so it wasn’t a huge deal.

We have stayed in the Laurel Grove neighborhood 4 times. This was our favorite house. The deck is fantastic!! Property was clean, came with some beach stuff, and the property manager was great. Highly recommend.
Beautiful spacious home. Enjoyed the golf cart ride to and from Baytown wharf.

Sounds like it was a wonderful time, Donna! We are happy you enjoyed the golf cart so much. It really does make getting around much easier. Hope to see you again in the future.
I’ve stayed in San Destin more times than I can count and this has been the best location and best layout so far. We stay often (4-5 times annually) to visit family that live on the loop and this was perfect. Deck is great and very private. Great for watching fireworks too.

We have stayed at Laurel Grove several times over the years. The Crows Nest is our favorite. We especially liked the privacy of the back deck. The indoor and porch furniture was very comfortable and decor beautiful. Equipped with everything you would need and more. We will be back with our family next time... there is plenty or room for everyone.

The house is spacious, in a quiet neighborhood, comfortable and in a good location. It was great to have the golf cart for the beach, dining, shopping, and enjoying all there is to do at the wharf. There is also a nice pool and hot tub within walking distance. An added bonus is a TV in each room and beds that are really comfortable. I would certainly return to this location.

The place was beautiful and very clean! Great location! We really enjoyed our stay!We would definitely like to come back and stay!The only issues were that it listed a gas grill and that a six seat golf cart would be available. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case. The golf cart wasn’t working and the grill was a charcoal grill.But the management company did provide a 4 seater golf cart and a new charcoal grill.
