This property was clean, cozy, and comfortable, it was very spacious for everyone to have their on area. Only downside is that they really need to switch out the jean couch for a new one, that couch has to go. Overall everyone in my family truly enjoyed their stay and we will definitely stay there again. Plus it was a close walk to the beach.

We had additional requests to join us and had to find something for everyone. This house did not disappoint. Interior provided great space, plus the movie room was great. my favorite area was the pool, nice seating and good size pool.

Beautiful clean home that exceeded my expectations! The property managers communicated very well during the planning process. We were able to check in early because the property was ready ahead of schedule. If we ever come back to Destin, we would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for bringing these items to our attention. We have reported these items with our maintenance department and will have them rectified as soon as possible. Thank you again for being our guest.
House was situated perfectly. Just a short walk to the beach. Everyone in our group had their own space because, of the size of the house, each room had it's own bathroom. The deciding factor for us was the pool, the outside space was big enough for everyone to have enough room to play and swim.
Loved the theater room to relax with a movie after long day at the beach or shopping.
Will definitely book again when I am in the area.

Over great place. Clean and open. Good response from owner. Minor inconveniences include only 2 teaspoons for our party of 17 and only 3 coffee mugs and no cookie sheets. We would stay there again.

The home was exactly as described. We had a short walk to the beach which was perfect! We had more than enough room for our group of 13! Ocean Reef was easy to work with, and super accommodating. One thing i will say, bring extra silverware with you! That is our single complaint. With that said, we are already discussing booking this property next year!

Decided to stay here with family for our last summer vacation before school. We absolutely enjoyed this place. Beautiful property with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms which was a plus!! Also had a washer and dryer which was very convenient. Only thing that sucked was that 1 of the basketball goals was broken. Also, many of the tv remotes were missing backs and batteries. Pool was also dirty when we arrived but pool guy came by with no problem. Overall, place was awesome. Highly recommend.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
The space of the house was great. Upon entering the house wasn’t deep cleaned. Sand on the floor. Which we understand - you are at the beach. But tables and counters were dusty. We did find a few bugs in the bunk bed sheets. We had to wash everything. Dryer took very long time to wash. The sink in kitchen backed up on the second day. They did send maintenance but it never worked even after being told it was fixed. The dish washer smelled like absolute sewage. The pool was nice. The yard guy came one day and blew all kinds of debris into the pool and left. The outdoor furniture is all falling apart.

The Beach Basket property was really nice & roomy. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out & have their own space. The basketball court & movie theater room provided lots of entertainment for the kids. The pool was nice but the weather a bit too cool for us to swim much. There were a few things I felt that the property could have had on hand, such as pot holders for getting pans out of the oven, kitchen dish rags & batteries for the remotes. Although the Ocean Reef staff was great to bring us some batteries & trouble shoot the projector screen after we arrived. The location of the property was only a few blocks to the beach, which was really nice! Overall, a great Christmas vacation!

The stay was fantastic! The house is big enough for everyone. We were 12 guests! and everyone had an amazing time. I only wished we could've stayed longer! The house is so spacious and the private pool is amazing! There is also a basketball court! I totally recommend this house for big families! I liked that if I had a concern, the people in charge of the property were quick at responding with solutions!
