Backyard Concept:
Self-Proclaimed: We have the coolest and most fun backyard in all of Destin :)
Pair your favorite music from your iPhone with our complete SONOS Surround Sound System and relax around the pool, multiple hammocks, poolside chaises, or the covered lush-shaded lounge.
Hungry?!? Grill out poolside on the massive built-in grill and store all your drinks for the day in the built-in ice cooler. The large outdoor kitchen bar is a great spot to eat lunch poolside while listening to your favorite Jimmy Buffett song!
Ready for the ultimate relaxation?!? A 50" Smart TV is connected to a complete SONOS Surround Sound System and positioned where you can sit in the hot tub and watch your favorite sports game or Hulu show! There is something truly awesome about watching TV in an oversized hot tub!
At dusk, extensive blue landscape lighting automatically kicks on, illuminating the entire backyard so the fun can continue. There are even lights positioned over the putting green; nighttime golf, anyone?!
The best place to eat lunch in all of Destin is in this pool's "In-Pool Dining Table." That's right; this pool has a granite dining table in the water! We also wanted the children to enjoy the pool, so we included a massive sun shelf, allowing kids to play in just a few inches of water. Pair that with two waterfalls and an enormous spa, and we have a serious pool party!
Last but certainly not least... the backyard is completed with lush astroturf, creating a clean, luxurious feel. Have a picnic right on the turf without worrying about dirt!

We had a great stay! Very clean, beds were very comfortable. We had a minor issue with the pool not being heated upon arrival, but I communicated this to the property manager and it was fixed by the next morning. Very responsive to concerns. Short walk to the beach. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location and house is very pretty. Some of the utensils and beach equipment could be upgraded.Understood it is FL, but there is quite a bit of mold on in the bathrooms, vent and at the roofline.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed the location and the home. Since your stay, our builder has addressed the bathroom issue to ensure it’s resolved, and we’re also upgrading the utensils and beach gear for future guests. We appreciate your comments and hope to host you again!
We had a great stay. The property was perfect. We had 7 adults and 7 children. We had plenty of space and the children loved the bunkbed rooms. It was also wonderful that we did not have to share bathrooms. The pool was a great size for us and the walk to the beach was easy, just a couple of blocks. The host was responsive to any questions we had.
