About this property
Tuscany - Gulf-Front, Heated Private Pool, Game Room, Beach Service Included!
Tuscany -
You don’t have to travel to Europe for vacation, and a beach getaway doesn’t have to break the bank. Which is why a stay at Tuscany, right in the heart of Destin, can be the perfect paradise retreat. Tuscany is a three-level beachfront home with spacious interiors, comfortable accommodations, picturesque views, a game room, a 6x14 private pool, and beach access with complimentary seasonal beach service (2 chairs + 1 umbrella). With seven bedrooms and six and a half baths, this stately vacation home can entertain up to 24 guests. Bedrooms are split between the top levels, making it easy for multi-family groups to party together at the beach. Whether you’re headed to Destin for a family vacation or a retreat with friends, this oasis is the place for you!
The first floor is dedicated to the open living room, dining area, and kitchen. The Tuscan-style interior immediately puts you in a vacation state of mind. Travertine marble flooring flows throughout the space. Walls of windows filter in ample sunlight and offer incredible beach views. From the great room, glass doors lead onto a breezy balcony with outdoor furniture, a BBQ grill, and steps leading directly to the beach. Inside, a cozy seating ensemble is made up of a blue sofa and two wing-backed accent chairs. The setup faces a TV and a built-in entertainment center. Tucked in a sunny corner, an additional cozy seating area features a yellow couch flanked by two colorful armchairs, all set around a drink table. The dining room is located on the other side of the room. A round table and eight chairs situated next to beach-facing windows create a laidback dining experience. The state-of-the-art kitchen boasts a wraparound granite bar with stools. The kitchen also includes sleek counters, multiple countertop outlets, a center island, a wine cooler, and an oven and stove set into a tiled alcove.
Ascend the open staircase from the elegant foyer to the second level, where you will find five of the home’s bedrooms. The primary suite has a king-size bed, dedicated work desk, plush reading chair, flatscreen TV, and access to a romantic balcony overlooking the gulf. The ensuite bath has dual vanities, windows facing the beach, a soaking tub, and a glass-walled shower with a rainfall shower head. No need to fight for the primary suite! Three guest bedrooms on this floor also have a king-size bed and private baths. The other guest bedroom on this level has two full bunk beds.
The third floor features separate living quarters with a game room, a full kitchen, and a dining room. There is a pool table, TV, and a beachfront balcony. Of the two bedrooms on this floor, one is a king-size guest suite, while the other includes two queen-size beds and a white sleeper sofa. In addition to top-notch accommodations, a stay at Tuscany comes with several amenities to improve your vacation. A private pool provides a lovely spot for outdoor relaxation. The beach is literally steps from the first-floor balcony. Guests receive access to Destiny by the Sea neighborhood amenities, including a large swimming pool, hot tub, and a community clubhouse. When you’re ready to explore the surrounding area, there’s no shortage of things to see and do. Venues such as the Destin Commons, HarborWalk Village, the Village of Baytowne Wharf, Silver Sands Premium Outlets, and Grand Boulevard each offer a unique experience consisting of restaurants, beach shops, live music, and entertainment.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you had a relaxing time at our beach house. On behalf of Ocean Reef Resorts, we hope to welcome you back for another memorable getaway soon!
We loved staying here and are already looking to book again next year! Spacious rooms and areas, access to the beach is wonderful and how fun is the beach rental hut right out your back door WITH snowcones! Such a hit for the kids, while the pool is smaller than the picture makes it seem it still worked great for the days when we couldn’t get in the ocean the community pool is awesome as well. The teenager spent a lot of time there and met lots of friends. We loved this property!

We appreciate your positive feedback and are so glad you had a great stay. It sounds like you made the most of everything the area has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you back to Ocean Reef Resorts!
The home is very spacious. We had plenty of space to move around. Bedrooms and ensuite in each room are excellent for couples and the beds were extremely comfortable. The location is top tier views were amazing. Only downside is the jets on the hot tub on property does not work. Also we had a hiccup with the pool not being heated since we had to pay extra for that option. Pool table needs some new felt.

Thank you for staying with Ocean Reef Resorts and providing this valuable feedback. Unfortunately the spa is only a spillover pool not a hot tub. Please let us know if we can assist in any future travel plans you may have.
great location . Management company should have had the bbq propane tank replaced , I had to do it. Just the little things ....

Jim, Thank you for your review and we are happy you enjoyed the property. Unfortunately we do not provide propane for the grills and ask each renter to have the tank re filled as needed. As long as the receipt is provided we will be happy to reimburse you for that.
Everything was great! The property was spacious with everything we needed including the game room with an extra kitchen that we really enjoyed. The view was magnificent. The check in and checkout process was easy. The neighborhood was beautiful. The beach was peaceful without the crowd from spring break. The weather was not the best but everything at Tuscany was so amazing it didn’t ruin our weekend and we had a wonderful time. I would definitely recommend this property!

Fantastic! We are happy knowing you enjoyed your time here on our beautiful shores. Let us know when you are ready to start planning another trip! Thank you for choosing Ocean Reef Resorts.
The property looked exactly as it does on the pictures. Simply beautiful. However the only downfalls to our trip . When we arrived we couldn’t go on the beach bcuz we had no wrist bands. A broken window in a bed room had to be fixed, and downstairs refrigerator wouldn’t get cold. I emailed several times no response and ended up calling the after hours emergency service. Everything else was great.

Happy Days Not so Happy
The location of the property with beach front access is fabulous and the pool on the property was great (maintained twice a week). My over riding disappointment in the property was that the dishwasher was broken when we arrived and never repaired. This made the vacation a disappointment. I have two dw's at home - I would never have expected to have to wash dishes for 7 people for 3 meals a day on vacation. We are all very active cooks so we prefer to eat in rather than in restaurants all the time. The appliances, except for the refrigerator, are all very dated. The bathrooms are dated. The floor plan of the property works well for a large family. Every BR had its own Bath; however, there is no separate powder room so a bedroom on each floor also opens to the hall. Not a big deal but worth noting if that is undesirable to anyone. The garage apt was particularly dated - think third class motel. I gave the rating I did for cleanliness because of the bugs and the mildew on the grouting around the kitchen sink. I wouldn't rent this property again. The Ocean Reef staff were very helpful and I know they were at the mercy of the owner to replace the DW...obviously, this owner doesn't care about the satisfaction of their clients.

PROS:
-Photos of house are accurate
-Frequent texting from management on day of check-in
-Easy check in (packet is waiting for at the gate, and easy access to door key pad)
-Good location -private, yet all major stores and restaurants are short driving distance.
-Gated community
-Quick response to questions via the online portal on the weekends
-Reserved beach chairs and umbrella were set up early every morning.
-Comfortable beds
-Two laundry rooms with detergent and dryer sheets
CONS:
Cleaning should be better for a luxury home and a $1,000 cleaning fee.
-Dining table was dirty, oily, sticky, smudged and had an accumulation of crumbs all over the table - on top of and underneath the glass overlay... I had to lift the glass to clean the crumbs all over the table. Was unable to successfully eliminate the oily build up. (No cleaning supplies other than dish soap and laundry detergent)
-Hair in shower and bath sink
-Caked-on dust build-up on night stands
-Dirty wine glasses
-Mold in washing machine
-Would be nice if windows facing the beach were clean
-Ice in freezer had turned into one block of unbreakable ice
-Incorrect Wi-fi password was provided with reservation and online portal. (This was quickly resolved.)
-No privacy on balconies if neighbors are on their balconies
-No garage opener
