Stayed 10 nights with my husband and our fur babies. As always, this place is perfect. Most everything you need is already there but if not it’s located right in the middle of shopping so no problem! We’ve stayed in Destin for about 20 years at multiple different places and THIS is our favorite. It’s home away from home for us. Plenty of room in the cottage with the cutest decor and comfy beds. 5 min walk to the beach is a selling point too!

Great location and quaint Florida cottage

We love older homes so we love the charm of this Miami style bungalow. This is the way homes use to be built- it’s a shame so few have survived hurricanes and condo development over the decades. I loved the cozy feel of the place. It’s super close to some of the best beaches in Florida and down the street from crab island. This may be our new favorite getaway!

Great location but needs cleaning

This old and simple cottage is just 3 minutes from a beautiful beach. Good value for the price and a great stay overall, except for a couple issues. The cleaning was inadequate and even the dinner chairs had a layer of dust, and the floor was dirty under the furniture. Also the manager tried to collect 150 cash for our third person, while the required online payment was 75. Alexander

Perfect getaway

My husband and our 2 dogs thoroughly enjoyed the cottage! Short 3 min walk to the beach to sip our morning coffee and a great quiet neighborhood to go for evening walks. Right in the middle of 98, so many attractions/food are 10-15 min away. Cottage was super cute and quite cozy. All the amenities you’ll need. Even really nice beach chairs to take down in case you forget yours! We will definitely be back SOON to Ginny’s cottage!

Great location to the beach

All that was described in the listing plus extra things you might need if you forgot. Neighbor house had two tables and all the chairs in the back yard I just wondered if some were for this house. A full length mirror would also be suggestion. Just wish those things would have been there. But we had nothing bad to say. Enjoyed our stay.

Beach stay

This was our second time staying here. Cottage was clean upon arrival, I appreciated the outdoor shower. The short walk to beach access is always nice. Street is quiet and house is conveniently located near shopping malls and grocery stores. We hadn’t been here in a few years and I was shocked there wasn’t a dishwasher in the house. My family enjoys home cooked dinners so it was a bit annoying to hand wash lots of dishes every evening. The beds were very uncomfortable and the last two nights I opted to sleep on the couch. The air conditioner in the back of the house kept turning off so my kids would wake up hot throughout the night. Overall I like the place but would definitely recommend some changes to make it better. Lastly, my kid stepped on something sharp on the beach and cut her foot open we didn’t find anything at the house to clean and bandage it so I’d recommend keeping a first aid in the home.

House was ok and generally clean, But!

But in the master bath, their is mold around the tub where it meets the wall. I'm pretty sure the mold is under the the sealant. The sealant should be removed and reapplied. It looks unsightly.

Owner failed to mention the construction next door. Loud and disruptive. Property was dirty and filthy. Needs painting and repairs. Black mold in bathrooms. Linens are old and stained. Floors are old and dingy
