Great house for families with children ! Well equipped for littles and WOW what a kitchen! The pool was immaculate and the golf cart was very helpful! Our hosts went above and beyond! We're already planning our next trip to return to this property.
We had an amazing week-long stay at Robert and Kourtney’s home in Destin! The house had absolutely everything we could have needed for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. It was just a short walk to the beach, the pool was the perfect size for our family, and there were so many great restaurants and attractions just minutes away. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well thought out, making it feel like a home away from home. We truly loved our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to book this home again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!
