Awesome stay for our girls weekend trip!! Very private and very nice neighborhood. House was very clean and had everything we needed for the beach. Communication with Mande and Bruce was very easy.
The property was absolutely great. All amenities you could ask for. Kitchen was beautiful the morning view and bedrooms were awesome. The property owners have definitely kept this property in exquisite condition. Thanks for the hospitality
Belle Haven is the perfect getaway! The beautiful house was clean and welcoming. The kids loved the pool. The relaxing & mesmerizing view alone is worth coming back.
Very spacious and beautiful home. The pool with screened in area was larger than the pictures give it credit for so that was a nice surprise. Lots of amenities available and the hosts were super quick to respond with any questions we had on the house or the area. The boat dock was a big plus and we caught a lot of fish. Tremendously enjoyable! Don't be afraid to book this one for your family, it's a keeper for sure.
House was excellent for multi generation family vacation. Easy to entertain everyone with plenty of space and nice kitchen and fun pool. Kayaks and dock were great for fishing and enjoying the bay. We had a wonderful family fall vacation as house was great and quiet, safe location made it super easy to get to everything (beaches, shopping, restaurants, etc) we wanted to do.
I had a wonderful time at this home. It was super clean
and very well appointed with everything needed. Bruce
was very helpful and easy to get along with.

Thank you Patrick! Come back and see us next year!
Everything was great for our stay every step of the way! The location and the views from this property couldn’t be better and the beautiful house and amenities checked all the boxes. Communication was awesome and very timely from the property owners! Would absolutely stay here again.
Property was in a quiet neighborhood with a great view of the bay. Clean with plenty of household amenities supplied. Nice pool area outback. The master suite was awesome.
Me and my family enjoyed celebrating my mom’s 70th birthday here. The view was beautiful. The house was clean with several TV’s for gaming or watching sports. The house is close to nearby restaurants and the beach. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you for staying with us Robin! Come back and see us!
We enjoyed our stay. The house is spacious and flows great. Dock was great to have and it was nice to have the options with the paddle board and kayake. The pool is also another great option. We were there in March so cooler weather. A hot tub would have been nice but pool is heated so that worked. The owners are very good about getting back quickly to any questions or concerns. All in all it is a great place and would definitely book again!
The house is set back in what appears to be a residential neighborhood, so it’s nice and quiet; and away from the hustle and bustle of the main beach areas. Minutes drive to the beach, also swam in the bay out back (as it’s only 3-4 feet deep right off the dock). Pool was a huge hit with the kids! Gave the paddle board and kayak a try too! Boat dock was perfect for the boat we rented during the stay. Hosts were very quick and responsive to the couple minor questions/issue we had. This house worked out perfect for our 2 family vacation! Only very minor complaint is the master bedroom is very bright in the morning, since the curtains are pretty sheer. But everything else was absolutely great! Thank you!
The house was beautiful with new furnishings. While it was not located on the beach, it was located on the water with a private dock and a decent sized yard. Unfortunately, we were unable to use the pool as the heater wasn’t working and the required part was back-ordered. Other than that, we had a great time and would recommend this property if you are not 100% wed to staying right on the beach.
Belle Haven is a nice vbro that sits between Destin and Miramar Beach. Centrally located to shopping, beaches and restaurants. The house itself very spacious and clutter free. Plenty of beach towels, cabinet space, typical VBRO kitchen utensils. All bedding linens and towels were soft and many throw blankets available. Only suggestions: have a few fishing poles; pool floats/noodles for amazing pool(1/2 pool only gets sun 1/2 of day,) needs couch or comfy chairs by pool, we used two camping chairs we had friend bring over. Need remotes for all televisions, directions how to use television, should offer local cable for fee. Would rent house again hand down!
The home is beautiful and the pool and deck are relaxing, but the dock on the bay was our favorite part. We saw dolphins two different days, and birds and jumping fish every day. We watched the sunrise on the bench every morning. The kids loved the kayak and paddle board.
The Gulf is a few miles away, with multiple beaches to choose from. My husband and I even walked from the neighborhood to the beach since we love to walk and explore . The pictures do not show the true magic of this lovely place. We would recommend this home to anyone.
We also want to thank the manager, Bruce, for taking care of us and treating us like family. We had originally planned to stay in Anna Maria Island, but the folks we booked with canceled due to the two hurricanes. We scheduled this place with Bruce the day before we arrived! Everything went smoothly, and we were so pleasantly surprised by how wonderful everything was.
This place was perfect for our week in Destin. House was spacious, we had 10 people with us. Everything was clean. Lots of towels. A closet full of beach chairs to use. Pool was clean, we definitely recommend heating it if it’s early spring. My kids didn’t catch a lot in the bay, but seen horseshoe crabs, jelly fish, hermit crabs & lots of fish. We even seen dolphins. It was a quiet neighborhood & less than 5 minutes from the gulf. The bay had beautiful views. The house had almost everything you needed for the kitchen including spices. The bathrooms had full size soaps. The Lani is where we spent most of our time. Close to shopping, restaurants & entertainment. Would definitely stay again.

Why they chose this property
The beauty of the bay is that the water is very shallow out to the end of the pier. Usually two to four feet. No big waves and usually very calm. The pier can house your small boat and your jet ski's. Kayak and paddle board available for you to use for some family fun. Sit in the back yard or on the pier and watch the dolphins play. Jump in the pool and cool off. The pool area has it own shower and Tv. Everything is on one level so no stairs to climb. This home has it all.
