We loved our stay at this home! Check-in and communication was very easy. The home had everything we could want and more. We loved the spaciousness, location, and layout. The porches were incredible (especially during storms) with rocking chairs and a porch swing. The property offered a great amount of privacy thanks to strategic landscaping that also kept temperatures enjoyable even with a 110 heat index. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you so much for a wonderful week in Destin!

Great Location!

The house was very nice and spacious. We had 12 people comfortably. Kitchen was stocked with plenty of cookware. Golf cart was a great addition to get around! The pool though is definitely smaller than ideal. Would definitely stay here again!

Great family vacation

The house was exactly as described and pictured. Our group of 11 adults. 1 child, and 1 infant has plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the house and beach. The golf cart was super helpful it the beach and shopping area are very close to the house. The pool was a little smaller than we expected but overall we had a great time and loved the rental experience

Excellent experience

First family vacation we've been on in 10yrs this rental was perfect for the 11 of us we each had our own space but still plenty of room for all of us to be together. The house was very well located as far as access to the beach and numerous shopping locations along with many mini golf courses and arcades. Plenty of places to eat out within the range of the golf cart that's included with the property so that made it really nice. I would highly recommend this property and rental company to anyone looking my family will definitely be booking threw them again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was spacious with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. Some suggestions would be that we needed many more beach towels for the number we had. 7 towels for 14 people was not adequate. We would also suggest having laundry baskets in all of the bedrooms.

This is now our DESTIN HOME

This home was MORE than we could have imagined. The kitchen was stocked, the amount of room was excellent, location was perfect. We will be coming back to this house for our future vacations. The only thing we could come up with to improve this property would be an outdoor clock by the pool. We understand some don't want to know the time when you are on vacation, but we do! Whoever is reading this review --- You will not go wrong in staying at this home!!!

We had a great week and Destin Dreaming met all our need.

The rental company was great and the location was wonderful. This is our 11 th year renting in Destin. Destin Dreaming was the most outdated / run down place we have ever rented It definitely needs some TLC. Carpets were worn and dirty. Kitchen is small for the size of the house. Overall it was fine, but there are much nicer more kept up properties we have rented through VRBO

Destin Vacation House

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: Property is the best house by far in Destin. Location only about a block walk to the beach. Three story hose has plenty of room for families. Fenced in yard for those traveling with their fur babies. Nice private pool with a golf cart to make trips to the beach easy. We stayed in master bedroom on main floor, with my only complaint there was no dresser for your clothes, just a small closet. Nightstands were packed full of old computer printers, modems, board games and general junk, so no space for additional storage in either of those. Overall though, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this house for the amenities offered and especially for families traveling with pets. Beautiful house with great location!

Great location for our family vacation

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: Overall, great stay in this comfortable, cozy, casual beach house. Just enough room for our family vacation. Love the trees and shrubs around the porch for privacy, the golf cart and the location were perfect. Splash pool was a nice addition as well. If bikes were included it would have been a major plus, but my only real complaint would be the outdoor patio furniture is is need of upgrades. Most of the chairs are broken, or about to break. And the ones that are not broken are not comfortable at all. Would have been nice to have an outdoor sofa to curl up on porch and some nicer loungers by the pool. Otherwise enjoyed our stay here and would probably stay again.

Perfect for larger families!

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: The main house and apartment were very clean and well supplied. Even the porches were well maintained and very clean. Plenty of space outside to sit and relax in the shade and let the dogs run and play. Plenty of rooms to accommodate several families. Beds were comfy! Pool was clean. Pool is small, but we still had a good time in it! The only downside is unless you’re super early, you won’t find a park at the designated beach access. It’s always full, and on the 4th, we couldn’t find a place to set up a tent bc space is very limited so we had to hang by the pool.

Family vacation

The home is nice, the living space is small for the amount this home can accommodate. The kitchen needs stocked with more silverware to accommodate a large crowd. The skillets could use a replacement. I would recommend having some additional chairs on porch that are appropriate for senior citizens. We did enjoy the swing in the mornings and evenings. Thank you for sharing your home, it is in a quiet neighborhood.

Family Vacation

Overall we loved the home, location, and the communication. I do wish that things in the kitchen could be left for others to enjoy. Seasoning, non parishable food items especially, etc. We were able to disperse to neighbors, just hard to throwing a lot of things away because you’re flying! I do highly recommend and we will look into this rental in the future.

Family Time

The best part of this vacation was down time with the family. We enjoyed the beach during the days and game night in the evening. There was 14 of us and there was plenty of room. The little ones loved the pool in the evenings. I loved the double wrap around deck. I was impressed at how well the kitchen had everything we needed from utensils to pots and pans The beds were very comfortable. I woke up feeling refreshed every morning. The only thing that I would add to this stay would be rugs in front of the doors coming from outside to keep the floors from getting messy. We will definitely be back !!

Destin dreaming

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very 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: Overall the house was exactly what we were looking for , space and closeness to the beach. However when paying 8k for a place to stay you do expect it to be clean. No paint peeling on the ceilings. No rusted floor vents. Shower heads to be working completely. Bath tubs you can stand on without the fear of getting cut. Floors and walls dirty. A comfortable bed. The entire house smelling of mold and mildew and the vents especially in the in law suit having mold pouring out of them. The carpet looked filthy. The golf cart charged was barely hanging on it was melted to the extension cord and frayed. We went and bought a new charger and extension cord. And the entire house just seemed very outdated. This is our fourth year to Destin and was definitely disappointed in the conditions of the house.
