Such a fun weekend!

The house was absolutely beautiful! It was a perfect get away for a girls weekend! It was in the best location- having restaurants, bars, and the beach all within walking distance. The furniture and decor were so cute and it all felt very homey. The host was so sweet and responsive. She let us have an early check in and late check out and just told us to enjoy! There was one minor thing broken (a door knob) and she was very responsive to us. Would recommend everyone to stay here!

The property was perfect for us! Plenty of space. Lots of pool and beach assesories. A very good amount of supplies to start with. Plenty of dishes. Plug in fans, crib, high chair, hair dryers. We disnt need thise item's but they were there. A lot of living room/dining room space and outdoor space. It did help us to bring canopies because the sun beams down. The owner , Jeffrey, was easy to communicate with. We didn't really have any issues.Description of home is pretty accurate. Best part, literally 2 minute walk to beach.

Great family getaway!

We came with our big family of adult children and had an awesome time! It was our first time in beautiful Destin and this was a beautiful place! Short walk to the amazing beach and loved having our own private pool and plenty of space to spread out! The owner was very attentive and accommodating to some maintenance needs that popped up during our stay. She even treated us to shrimp cocktail and Keylime pie to make up for our trouble. Highly recommend!!

Great fun at the beach!!

My family had a wonderful time at the beach. We loved the pool as it offered an alternative to beach when we were back at the house. Jeffry was very attentive to our needs. When the grill went out, we had a new one that afternoon. We had 3 generations staying there and there was plenty of room for all of us. Would definitely stay there again!!!

Awesome Family Vacation House

The house was amazing! Plenty of room for all of us the cabana house was a big plus! The kitchen had everything we needed to stay in and make dinners. Jeffry was just a phone call away when we needed her for a bathroom issue she had the part and someone to fix it within the hour. We all loved the pool and the beach was just a walk across the street. We will definitely be coming back to stay!

Lovely Weekend by the Beach!

I stayed here with 11 friends to celebrate an upcoming wedding and we loved this property. First of all, everyone slept comfortably. There were enough beds to go around to accommodate our large group, and for that I was very grateful. I slept in the pool house king bed, and slept very peacefully. The proximity to the beach was actually so nice, honestly a lot closer than I was expecting (maybe a 4 minute walk). The couches were comfy for football viewing and napping after beachy mornings. The pool was nice to cool down as well. We were not far from golf and fishing, maybe around 10-15 minutes away from either option. Lastly, Jeffry and her daughter were always very helpful and attentive to any questions we had. I felt supported throughout our stay. All in all, a great time! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best place to stay in Destin!

This house was perfect! This was our first trip to Destin (we’ve vacationed at many of the nearby beaches in either condos or houses) and it was just beautiful. We will definitely be back and will stay at this property again. The location is perfect and we loved the beach access just across the street from the house that was not too crowded even during Fall Break. The outside space and pool were amazing and we spent each night after dinner hanging out with our whole party of 10 (three families). Our group included four teenagers, ages 13-17 and they had an incredible time. The common space in the house is very functional also with an open kitchen to the spacious dining and living room. The whole house has a great layout and then we had one family in our party to stay in the pool house and they loved this space. The property owner contacted me the day of our arrival to let us know the house was ready for early check in and she even went to the property to see if our golf cart we ordered had been delivered. She was so responsive and I can tell she is an experienced property manager…very professional! The house is also located within a half mile of any shopping or restaurants that we went to so an easy drive by car or golf cart. With that, we didn’t have to deal with any traffic issues like we have at other beaches we’ve stayed at during Fall Break. So many reasons that I can only describe it as the best place to stay in Destin!
