Our stay was great. Location was awesome. House should’ve been cleaner. LOTS of things need to be fixed. Can’t communicate with the host - only the manager of their business. Not sure if it was the manager AND the cleaning crew or just the the cleaning crew who tried to SCAM me for more money when we left, but after catching them in their lies, all was made right by them. Recommend videoing/face timing them as you’re leaving the house so they won’t try to do the same thing to you. Will never stay at another place that is managed by Destin Dreamers again.

Beautiful property just steps from the beach

Beautiful property just steps from the beach, there was everything we needed for a wonderful family week at the beach. Lots of beach toys, chairs, canopies etc were available in the garage. The kitchen let us make quick lunches or late dinners. The golf cart made bringing supplies over to the beach easy. Check in and out was straight forward.

The house was very clean and had a good stock of items in the kitchen. We felt very secured in the house and the host was available and attentive for any issues.It would have been beneficial to know the majority of rooms were downstairs and the living room and kitchen were upstairs. There was a good size backyard but not a lot of grass spots for our dog to go to.There also needs to be a mat or something in place on the back patio where the shower is because the tile becomes very slippery.The location was perfect for beach access. We did not have to go far, and the golf cart was perfect to transport everyone and the beach gear.

Family vaca 2024

4652 Paradise Isle met every single expectation of our family! Beautiful home, very spacious, and everything was available that we needed. This is the first time we have never had a beachfront view, but we never missed a beat. The convenience of the golf cart, the pool right across the street, and the beach access being literally a 2 minute walk was great. We had one small issue with the hot water heater but cannot say enough about the maintenance guys. They were there within the hour and it was fixed quickly. Would DEFINITELY recommend this home for a family stay, and we will be back!

Relaxing and Next to Beach

The home was cozy and inviting. It felt like "home". I loved the bedrooms on the lower level being separate from the main living space. This is great for the kids to have their own space. The living room is perfect for taking naps on the comfortable sectional and I loved the gas range in the kitchen. The covered patios are a relaxing space to eat dinner and take in the view of the gulf. The main suite in the house is spacious with a luxury ensuite bathroom with jetted tub and walk in shower. And the large closet was perfect for storing our belongings. It is an easy short, walk right over to the beach. The heated community pool was just a few second walk away. I would definitely stay here again!

A breath of Fresh Air

First time in Destin and my family loved it. This property was beautiful!! The pictures are exactly as you see them on line. The chairs at the dinning room table were a bit uncomfortable as I could feel the wood while sitting. The property only allows for 12 adults I wish it was more as we only had four adults and 6 kids. The walk to the beach was short our family was at the beach everyday!!! Loved the bar area in the home and the patio as well. Beds were super comfortable and the bathrooms are a good size. Overall I would give this home a nine star rating. It’s expensive but my kids enjoyed it so that’s all that matters to me!!

Overpriced/Dirty

House was beautiful but inside wasn’t very clean. Had to call pest control multiple times due to a ton of roaches. Balconies need cleaned, bottom of your feet are pitch black after walking out on them. Busted shower head in the master bedroom that shot water all up the wall. Bedroom door handle had no screw holding it together, fell right off the door. Destin Dreamers was very responsive and helpful.

Great location

We had a great trip in Miramar! The location of the property was fantastic! Very close to the beach and pool! The house overall was nice but could use a few things. The outdoor area could use some better seating options. The grill was on the first floor and the kitchen is on the 2nd which seemed a bit strange. While we were there, the ice maker did not work but the management team was great about bringing us as much ice as needed! We did have consistent issues with our golf cart throughout our stay. Management called maintenance out a few times to take a look but did not fix it. After then requesting a new golf cart, management was quick to help make that happen! In our last evening we noticed a leak in the ceiling of one of the bedrooms. We notified Destin Dreamers and they said they would be sending maintenance the next day to take a look. Overall, our stay was nice and we had plenty of room for our family of 5. Management was quick to respond to any/all issues that we had! We absolutely LOVE Destin beaches!

The house for the most part was clean. The kitchen and eating area floors did not look like they were cleaned before we arrived (or not cleaned very good) and the outdoor eating had not been swept or washed/sprayed down in a while. The carpets were dirty in all bedrooms and the rooms downstairs smelled like soiled carpets. We came with 3 young children that were on the floor a lot. There were some rather larger stains that were visible in all of the bedrooms including the master bedroom. We did vacuum and sweep but there were no other supplies to easily clean the kitchen floor. The bedrooms downstairs also had no dressers to unpack a weeks of clothes or shelves in the closet could have been used if available. The bunk bedroom closet door was broken and it was unable to be closed or used properly. The other thing that was missing was screens on any windows or sliding doors in the house. There were a few windows you could open without screens but many were sealed shut. In the main bedroom you were unable to open any window at all. There are bugs, lizards and snakes that could get in without any screens on the sliding doors if left open for fresh air. One more thing that comes to mind. We got conflicting information about codes. They did come and fix the garage door but the pool gate we were given 2 different ones to try to see what would work. Those were minor but a frustration to have to wait for communication to get correct codes.

Destin Paradise

Early on the day of our arrival, the property manager made us aware of a problem with the upstairs AC. We were given three quite reasonable options. By the time of our arrival, three temporary, portable, heavy duty and professionally installed AC units were in place on the second floor. By mid-afternoon the next day, a complete new central AC unit had been installed for the second floor. Excellent action by the manager to quickly remedy the issue.The next day we noticed that the tail lights on the golf cart were not working properly. This issue, too, was very quickly fixed.We were very pleased with all aspects of this house. There were many extra items in the garage, such as boogie boards, beach chairs and two 10’x10’ canopies for use on the beach. The property was very clean and well appointed. We did not have a chance to use the club facilities across the street. But, they looked very nice.Wonderful property, wonderful location, excellent communications. We look forward to being guests again, soon. Thank you all for making our vacation return to Destin all we had hoped it would be.
