The property had plenty of space, all necessities and was so close to the beach! The new owner was very kind and communicated promptly. We hit a snag with our booking due to change of ownership and the new owner was very helpful. The ambiance of the outside dining next to the pool was perfect. Would definitely vacation here again.

Perfect for a family vacation

This house was great and sleep so many very comfortably! It is close enough to all main attractions but off the main drag. Only a quick drive to harborwalk. So much to see and do in Destin this is an amazing home for large groups. Love that the kitchen came with plenty of dishes and the gas grill was a plus for our group also!

Relaxing Beach trip

adorable spacious home located in a beautiful gated community with private beach access. The home came equipped with everything we needed. The large front balcony with swings was the best! Host was very communicative and accommodating our early check in request. We had a great time and hope to visit again soon.

Beautiful Location with All Amenities

We enjoyed this property so much, it is a perfect location to the beach, into town, and to the harbor. The shuttle service to the beach was so accommodating and convenient, wonderful kitchen amenities, and a beautiful pool in the backyard to also be enjoyed. We had wonderful communication with the property owners. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location and home. The individual lower and upper level entrances worked well with my family. The pool heater worked great and we enjoyed the pool every day even though some days were a bit chilly.The on-site pools and tennis court were great as well, though the tennis court could use some updating.Thanks again!

Beautiful retreat

This home was absolutely perfect for our large extended family. We had 6 adults and 5 children ranging from 10-14 for a 4th of July vacation. The homeowners were beyond helpful and very communicative. The home was perfectly described and the distance to the beach was wonderful. We will definitely book again! Thank you for a wonderful time!

Wonderful weekend getaway!

Our stay in the McCullar home was wonderful! From the communication with Jordan, cleanliness of the home, to the location- we couldn't ask for much more! We were in the perfect spot- only minutes away from the Harbour via water taxi or Uber. We also loved having the pool to cool off in after a long day at the beach. Thank you Jordan and family for everything! Would definitely recommend staying here!

Fantastic location. I love that ypu have access to the gulf shore and the pass bay area. The new infinity pool was gorgeous. The place is in need of a little TLC, but the hosts helped in every way they could and were very responsive. They Amazoned pool cues becauae the ones on site were broke. Oh, and the AC is stellar. Ive stayed in a lot of rentals where the AC was subpar. The community is very nice and safe and all the amenties are a short walk. I would definitely come back here again.

Perfect Location & Exceptional Service

As someone who is familiar with Destin and surrounding areas, I don’t believe I’ve ever stayed at a more perfect location. The house had great coastal charm and was more than accommodating for a group of 8. It even came stocked with beach towels. Communication with the owner was seamless, and the check-out process was simple and straightforward. We are already talking about booking again!

Best Family Trip to Date!

I can not say enough about how much my family and I were blessed during our stay. I know that there's a business side to reserving vacation spaces, but our host, Jordan, was so sweet, personal, and attentive to our needs. Best experience I have had out of the many places we have stayed over the years for our family trip. Book with her because you won't be disappointed! Thanks again, Jordan!

Great Destin Vacation Spot

This is our third stay in Destin Pointe and you can't beat the location. This home was absolutely beautiful! We loved the space, the beautiful front porch swing was so comfortable and peaceful and we enjoyed many meals in the large kitchen. It's a bit more of a hike to the beach than expected (approx .4mi) but it gave us an excuse to eat extra goodies at the end of the day. The included beach chairs were a plus, the warm pool in the back was great for the kiddos at during the heat of the day, and we had a pretty killer ping pong tournament going all week. Jordan was amazing and super friendly! We would love to come back.
