Family Trip to Destin

The home was beautiful, very comfortable and true to listing. I appreciated a good supply of cookware. I will say the quality of the bath towels could be improved however it certainly did not impact our trip. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful property, close to everything. We were very impressed with how well provisioned it was - kitchen was stocked with just about any cooking utensil, pots and pans, crock pots, you name it, they had it all. Owner was super responsive and answered all our questions very quickly. Closeness to the beach, use of golf cart, it was all incredible. Plenty of room, the asks of us during our stay were very resonable. 10/10 would stay here again!

Great Destin Getaway

We had four generations staying for a week at this beach house and had a wonderful time. The location is a very short walk to the beach and having the golf cart made it easy to transport the older and younger folks (and their beach equipment). The backyard pool was fun and made cooling off away from the beach easy too. The house is large, and along with the pool house provided many areas where people could be together or have some privacy. We had a great time!

Perfect family destination

This home was ideal for our family trip with four kids 1-5, two teenagers and seven adults. The proximity to the beach, restaurants and shopping was great. The golf cart made shuttling little ones and beach items back and forth a breeze. The pool was so convenient. Everybody had plenty of space in their rooms. And the fast response and quick resolution of any questions or concerns by the owner was remarkable. Highly recommend this property!

Sibling/Family all adult getaway for a 40th birthday!

The property was better than expected, everything was great! The only thing we were disappointed about is the fact we paid for the pool to be heated but it broke down so we were only able to use it 2 of the days! Location was amazing and the golf cart is a huge bonus! Everyone had their own space and bathroom, which is always a huge hit! I would totally recommend this place!

Last Minute Family Vacation

When our cruise got cancelled, we booked this house the day before we arrived. Everything was excellent. We had three families with small kids and a set of grandparents. The outside cabana is excellent for the family that needs a little extra space. The upstairs master and bath were very spacious! The pool was excellent and having a Golf Cart for the 2minute commute to the beach was so cool. We rented bikes from the local bike rental spot and loved exploring on the bikes or the golf cart! There is a great park across the street for the kids and you are so close to all the Destin stores and restaurants! The beach was beautiful and uncrowded. We called the property manager twice while we were there for small technicalities and Shannon was very responsive and met all our needs!

The house was wonderful! The interior and exterior was gorgeous. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need to cook - we made breakfast everyday and several dinners/lunches. We spent a good amount of time both by the backyard pool and beach. Beach access is a quick golf cart ride to The Shore at Crystal Beach access point with LSV parking, and Camille’s Crystal Beach across the street for food, drinks, and snacks. The neighborhood was quiet, clean, and located minutes from grocery stores and shopping. Any questions or concerns were addressed quickly by the property manager. We had a very minor issue with the golf cart and it was taken care of very fast. I highly recommend this property and would definitely come back!

This lovely beach house is well laid out to host a large extended family. It is clean and well maintained, and our host was very responsive to our needs. Some of our favorite things were the very clean, nicely secluded, well maintained private pool, which has a lovely overall cozy oasis feel. The high-quality patio grill has gas hookup, so you never have to worry about an empty tank, or tank replacement. The kitchen is well stocked and has plenty of space for creating meals together. The dining area is spacious with space for everyone to sit comfortably at the same time. The many decks offer beautiful views and quiet places to sit and enjoy coffee.Location, location, location! Close to grocery shopping & souvenir shopping, a little park nearby for the kids, plenty of places to have coffee, and of course the beach! All of these were within walking distance, but the golf cart included with the house made it even easier to navigate. We enjoyed it so much that our next vacation is already booked! Thanks for a wonderful place to make lasting memories.

The house and pool house were wonderful! If you have people who can't or don't want to walk up steps, there is a first floor bedroom in the house, and the pool house is on ground level. Both houses were clean and nicely decorated. The host was very responsive answering our questions and concerns. The pool was wonderful!! We spent a lot of time in the pool! There is no beach view, as the house is about 2 blocks from the beach. Their is a golf cart, which is great! My suggestion is to drive down Mark St. toward the beach, turn left then go past the first parking lot because you have to pay. Go a couple more blocks to the free lot for golf carts. We loved the house, pool and pool house and are seriously considering booking it again next year! For the shoppers, Destin Commons is nearby and a great shopping center, and Silver Sands Outlet Mall is only about 20 minutes away. We had a great trip!

House was spacious and clean. The pool area was superb! Golf cart was able to get us around very nicely for Publix, gas station for ice, beach, etc. Beach was nearby although hard to walk to with beach necessities in tow. A couple of golf cart trips made it easy though. Pro tip: go to Crystal Shores beach access and go to the left of the private beach. Much less of a crowd! Beautiful sunsets can be seen from the house’s crows nest.
