Nice place, perfect location to beach and pool. Easy access to restaurants. If I were to say anything negative the road was very busy with traffic and the Kitchen had only one fry pan and not even salt/pepper

Great beach house!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! There was a short 10 minute walk to beach access and the house was well equipped with a wagon, sand toys, and other beach equipment! The house comfortably slept 8 of us and had all kitchen appliances/utensils to eat at home. The house is located in close proximity to a variety of popular Destin restaurants. Would recommended staying here!

We've been visiting Destin for over 20 years, and I can honestly say this has been one of the best experiences we've had, especially as pet owners! Stephanie, the host, was absolutely amazing. From the moment we booked, she was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Her attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the property, from the spotless cleanliness to the thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home.The front porch was the perfect spot for sipping coffee in the mornings and enjoying relaxed chats in the afternoons. It was such a peaceful way to start and end the day. The location couldn’t have been more perfect, just a short walk to the beach! And for anyone traveling with pets, the walking areas around the property were ideal, safe, spacious, and perfect for our daily strolls.Stephanie truly made this stay feel special, and we can’t thank her enough for providing such a wonderful experience. If you're looking for a pet-friendly rental that offers comfort, cleanliness, and a host who truly cares, this is the place. We can't wait to return!

Perfect holiday

We picked Destin as our destination to enable us to visit with our college daughter for thanksgiving. The home perfectly accommodated us and our two daughters-everyone had their own space. The short 5 minute walk to the beach was convenient plus to have the wagon and chairs provided as a nice bonus. Super close to shopping and Whole Foods made thanksgiving dinner easy. And the host Stephanie was very responsive and answered our many questions patiently. She even sent a package that was delivered after our stay. We hope to come again!

A great property close to everything.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is in a great location, close to the beach and Destin Commons. The house itself is well equipped and housed our party of six easily. It was great having beach chairs and equipment provided, as it saved room in the car. The Crystal Beach neighborhood was really sweet and we enjoyed strolling around in the evening with our pup. The house is close to beach access, we either walked or cycled there every day, in fact we didn’t really use our car much at all, other than going for groceries. I would love to revisit this area out of season, when it is less busy.

Wonderful place to stay!

Beautiful house. Great floor plan. Nicely decorated in beach theme. Updated kitchens and baths. Nice furniture. Comfy beds. Thick towels. Large open kitchen/dining/living room. All appliances and AC worked great! Loved the bench swing on the front porch. Nice screened-in side porch. Outdoor shower in back of house. Back deck with grill. Nice font yard, side yard, and backyard space along with sidewalks everywhere in the neighborhood to walk the pups. Got to use the nice community pool. Walk to the beach too long for kids so drove to the public beach access. Got lucky and was able to find a parking space close by every day (in off season). Hope to come again soon! Stephanie is a wonderful host and very responsive to questions. Highly recommend this sweet place. Located in a really nice, safe neighborhood.
