Great location but…

Long story short, almost no communication from management company. So if there are ANY issues, you are left to fixing yourself. I asked a few short questions about our stay the day before arrival and NEVER got human responses, just automated messages about check in processes/codes. Never got any response about some detailed questions. We arrived after a very long trip and my daughter needed to immediately go the restroom, as did several of us! There was not a single roll in the entire house! We pay over 6k for the week and not even a starter TP roll! Our Walmart delivery was coming a little later so we had nothing to use. Our living room tv never worked and the bikes had missing pedals (randomly found in the laundry room!) and many other bike issues. We contacted mgmt immediately upon arrival and we didn’t get someone to come by until 3 days later! They fixed the bikes, however another one later kept having the chain come off. We never had a working living room tv our entire trip. My husband and friends husband had to move another tv from another room just so we could watch something together. I just couldn’t believe that is the standard for this kind of price point and location. I am waiting on them to “review” our stay to see what will be done. Great location and cute community but forget having them make sure everything is as it should be.

Perfect location

The Destiny West gated community, located in Crystal Beach, provides the perfect place for a family gathering. We rented side-by-side houses and loaded up the golf cart (provided with other house) every day and headed to the beach, finishing the afternoon at the pool. Lovely grounds and beach access near boardwalk and Crab Trap restaurant. David's house was perfect size (love the one-story) with good use of space and beds. However, I would love to see David give his home a facelift; it just seemed outdated and worn. From the rusted pans in the kitchen to the thin, now brownish towels, this house could use some TLC. Beds were comfortable enough, but having stayed in numerous other rental houses, I just felt a little disappointed. I know that owners only provide a starter kit for supplies, but even those were bare. It didn't have simple items that a hotel would provide, like a blow dryer. Overall, it was a good place for our family and friends to visit Destin. Highly recommend Boogie Watersports for parasailing, the Donut Hole for breakfast, and the Henderson Salamander spa for additional relaxation (especially during tropical storms). Thanks David!

Wonderful Home

We loved this home and had a great vacation. The location was perfect. It was a short walk to the beach, pool, and fitness center. The home was clean and exactly as described. The communication with David was outstanding as he made sure we had all the information we needed. We will definitely rent this home again.

Perfect family vacation spot

If you’re traveling to Destin with family, this is the place to land. The home was clean, comfortable, safe and close to everything. We had kids of all ages, so it was ideal that some could be in the pool, others playing tennis, and others just a short walk away at the beach. I loved that we could walk to the beach and then return to the home for meals and breaks - no need to lug the cooler along. So fun! Make sure to bring everything you’ll need if you don’t intend to grocery shop. You’ll get enough paper products to get you started, but you’ll need more if staying for a week. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay!

Our family really enjoyed our stay here. Plenty of room for all of us(9 total). The home has a great layout and is very well kept. Love the location. The pool is great and it is not far at all to walk to the beach. Will be checking on this home for our next vacation. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Perfect!

The house and location was perfect for our summer vacation to Destin. Because of the ideal location, all we needed were bicycles for getting around. The beach is right across the street. The neighborhood was quiet at night. The community pool and fitness center was a nice bonus as well. The owner promptly answered any questions we had. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful home!

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful beach house located a short walking distance from Destin beach. The house was amazing with everything you could need. The pool was fantastic and super close. The public parking at the beach entrance was awesome. I just got up early every day and drove all of our stuff to the beach, although sone days we just walked as it wasn’t far at all. The owner was quick to respond to any questions we had. We did have to wait about a half hour past our check in time, as the house cleaners did not finish until about 4:30 but it was a minor inconvenience. I would recommend this property and would love to rent it again in the future.

Nice...but could use a good once over with maintenance

We like the layout of the house, location and community was great. The master bedroom toilet was not secured to the floor and was wobbly. Pizza sauce on the kitchen floor when we arrived and the first bedroom on the right didn't seem like a queen size bed. Ceiling fan in the living room was not very sturdy.

Perfect Location!!

We loved the gated community and how close we were to the beach!! The neighborhood was awesome! We walked to the beach everyday. Having the restaurant (The Crab Trap) right there on the beach was great too! Very convenient to grab drinks or food while hanging out at the beach. We enjoyed being close to the pool, hot tub and tennis court too. The kids loved swimming in the pool and playing basketball & tennis. We would definitely rent this beautiful home again! Very spacious and is bigger than it looks in the pictures.

Beyond perfect....

This house has everything you need for a relaxing stay at the beach. The gated secure QUIET neighborhood we all loved. The kitchen is well stocked (you don’t need to bring anything from home) there is a container in the back yard filled with kid toys. Again you don’t need to buy anything to make a sandcastle. Beach chairs are available in the house as well. Did I mention the grill? and the beautiful landscaped backyard. The grill came in very handy and the backyard is an oasis. David was always very prompt on getting back to me and was always very friendly. We will be back in 2022 and I’m hoping to book this house again. Thank you for a FABULOUS stay.
