Fantastic Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the home and the location. It was perfect for our group. We especially enjoyed the heated pool as other homes we've stayed only have an unheated pool in November.However - a working pantry would be delightful. No salt, no pepper, not enough dish detergent to run a load every other day, not enough toilet paper for a week, or paper towels. Such a shame. It really puts a damper on things when these are consumables that should just be provided when you're staying a week. When I book a hotel, there's always enough toilet paper.Otherwise, truly a delightful home. With a few tweaks it would be AMAZING!!

Great stay minor inconveniences

The place was beautiful, and it was just as it was described. The beach was right across the street, and our host quickly answered any questions. However, some inconveniences should be fixed for a perfect stay. First, the check-in was at 5 pm, and check-out was at 9 am. We were shocked at the time since 9 am is very early for the last morning, and most places usually allow the guests to check out at 11 am, but we assumed it was to give the cleaning crew enough time, which 5 pm was also the latest check-in time we've ever received. Nonetheless, we planned our drive to arrive a couple of hours before 5 pm; however, by 10:30 am, we received a message saying the place was ready to be checked in. Therefore, the times should be adjusted to begin and end the vacation more accommodatingly. Secondly, there were no spices available in the kitchen, not even salt or pepper, so if you plan on cooking anything, bring your own, or you'll have to run to the store. We didn't expect a treasure trove of spices, but at least the basics like salt, pepper, and oil. Third, we had a cockroach and a spider on our first night, and there were tiny black bugs, which can be assumed were ants, that would come out if any food or drinks were left out overnight.

It was about a 5 min walk to the beach not bad at all! The neighborhood was quiet and great to take our dogs out for walks! We would most definitely stay here again! I would recommend renting a golf cart! We did this for the first time this year and it was worth every penny!

Great location for a beach getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Yellowbird is located in a quiet gated community with just a five-minute walk to the beach and within close driving proximity to key attractions. The house itself is well laid out, with open living/dining/kitchen area for socializing and four bedrooms for privacy. We particularly enjoyed the screen porch, which overlooks a wooded backyard. I will definitely consider staying here again on a return visit to Destin.

Thanksgiving week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Yellow bird house is decent place. Location is great and the staff does the best they can to make your stay enjoyable. My family and I have stayed at this home before in 2020. The home was more attractive than our recent stay. The home needs more maintenance. The walls are cracked and the upstairs restroom did not work which was an inconvenience for 10 people living there. The first day the heater would not work. The home was freezing until maintenance came back twice to fix it. Overall it was a nice stay but I don’t know if I would stay there again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was beautiful, spacious, and in a perfect location! Literally a 2 min walk to the beach, a private, gated entrance to little subdivision. Kids had a blast in the pool and playing football in the street (worked perfectly withoutuch traffic at all). Our family had plenty of room for everyone to sleep/hangout. Kids loved the fact they had their own balcony and jacuzzi tub 😊 Someone from company was quick to bring over a tank refill for gas grill when I messaged stating the one there was empty. Only suggestion would have been to supply a few more beach towels as well as garbage bags for bigger groups like we had. My entire family requested we rent from this company again for a summer trip. Thank you!!

Not what you would expect for the price

Let's start with the positive. Great floor plan, community pool and tennis courts are in excellent shape, right across the street from public beach access, and a central location for activities and dining. Massive negatives unfortunately. The kitchen was completely inadequate if you plan on cooking. Only 6 drinking glasses for home designate for 12, no cutting board, 2 trash bags for 5 nights, 1 dish towel, 1 small bottle (size of hotel shampoo) of dish soap for 5 nights. Overall maintenance not what you would expect from a million dollar home – 2 bedroom ceilings with cracks and water spots, upstairs master closet full of holes where wire shelving once was installed, upstairs master balcony door could not be unlocked, upstairs balcony table was rusted to the point of falling apart, and the dryer would not dry more than a few pieces of clothing at a time.

The property was beautiful and perfect for for our family only with the house was that the dryer didn’t work even after someone came out to service it. And if you are an minority be careful some people aren’t polite happy about you being there the security guy thought my brother was lying about staying in the neighborhood even after he gave him the address and was taking pictures of him and some other black kids but overall the trip was great

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Destin and we love Destiny West, although the Yellow Bird let us down. The house layout was excellent for our family, but the house needs upgrades in the furniture if it is a rental. When you pay nearly $3,000 for a rental one expects everything from the dishes and silverware to the bedspreads and furniture to be in much better shape and not so worn and dated. There were several maintenance issues that should be taken care of along with painting in many of the rooms.
