The house was well appointed, stocked, spacious and clean! The pool and spa were incredible and we all enjoyed it daily during our stay. The proximity to the beach is also a huge hit. The hosts were helpful, easy to reach and checked in a couple times to make sure we had everything we needed. This house was a perfect spot for our vacation and we would definitely rent it again!

Wow! This house was perfect for our family. It was less than a block to the beach, had an immaculate private pool and even included baby items to make our traveling more convenient. The golf cart was the cherry on top. I can’t recommend this property enough. It far exceeded our expectations.

Wow! If we could give 10 stars instead of just 5 we would do so! This house is amazing and the owners were wonderful to work with throughout our unexpected short stay. The house was just as beautiful as pictured with lots of space, sunshine, and amenities. We paid the additional fee to have the pool heated and it was well worth it for an October trip! The hot tub heats in just 15 minutes and was a hit, along with so many outdoor seating areas. On our first morning we discovered a problem with the coffee maker. Before I could even check for an owner's response to my message, a delivery person was at the door with a new coffeemaker. That was great!We had to shorten our stay because of Hurricane Isais, and the owners generously gave us guidance to help with the decision as well as to offer reimbursement for the second half of our trip. We can't say enough about how helpful they were assisting with every step of our trip, from suggestions on places to go to responsiveness with assistance in getting our refund through VRBO. We would definitely return to this amazing home! We're just sorry that our trip was over too quickly!

My family and I had a wonderful time staying here! The house exceeded expectations with furniture and rooms being updated compared to the photos. The house was very clean and we loved the backyard. Robert and Kourtney were wonderful to rent from and easily available for any questions or needs we had. We travel with out golden doodle and the house was very pet friendly with the fenced in backyard. Our favorite part was how close the beach was. We used the golfcart for fun, but walked to the beach most of the time. We plan to stay here again when we come back to Destin! The only thing was it was a little pricey but understandable with the economy we are in right now.

Unfortunately this was a guest that was hard to please and was looking for a refund so we would not welcome him back. To our future guests, the pool is well-maintained as evident by all of our other 5 star reviews. Blue Starfish is a 5 star property that offers a large saltwater pool, hot tub, golf cart and the location can’t be beat. We look forward to hosting you!

Our trip was so amazing! The owners have literally thought of everything! Location was great! So close to the beach and the golf court was a huge hit with our littles! The pool was amazing too and house was so clean with literally everything you could think of (even silverware for the littles). Thank you for a seamless and unforgettable trip!

What a wonderful home!! It was the perfect space for my husband and I with our two adult children, their spouses and our 3 grandchildren of various ages. The backyard with the patios and pool was our favorite place to gather and taking the golf cart to the very close beach was a highlight for the kids. Destin is beautiful and this house was ideal. It had everything you could want. I highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at Blue Starfish! The house is just as described. Our family of 10 had lots of room. The house was clean, well stocked & the back yard was great with a pool, golf putting green, lounge chairs, grill, and outdoor tv! Super! Lots of accessories for the beach & a golf cart! We visit a beach each July for a family vacation and this was one of our best!

Perfect Space for 6 adults, 5 kids

This house is in the perfect spot for an easy, relaxing trip to Destin. Tucked inside a quiet neighborhood, just steps from the beach is a perfect get away - jump in the golf cart and you'll be there in 30 seconds. Cart is perfect for runs to Publix, Starbucks, ice cream and plenty of dining options as well. Loved the giant table for everyone to eat together. And the outdoor bathroom was a huge plus; full bathroom for showers after the pool/beach. Super spacious, super convenient, and certainly a space that we would stay again.

This home is exactly like the pictures, the home is beautiful and nicely decorated. They go above and beyond with basic needs/3 rolls of tp in every bathroom/kitchen stocked with anything you can think of as well. Beds were so comfy, hosts were easy to reach as well. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and located close to adorable little restaurants and beaches! We did a lot of relaxing playing cards as just enjoying a little sunshine!!! Thank you for having us!
