Gray Whale Family Vacay 2023
This was our first visit to Destin and even though I had great communication with the managing company prior to the visit, I just hoped that the property would meet the needs of a group of 19. It went above and beyond. Great location; very clean; beautiful kitchen; the elevator was a lifesaver (we had older adults w/ bad knees/backs) and very near the beach. The view from the top balcony and the kitchen was breathtaking. The street in front was a little busy but that just means that you are close to everything. There is literally a souvenir shop a few steps away; ice cream is only a few steps away; and there is a Winn Dixie and Wal-Mart very close by for your grocery needs. It is also located a very short drive away from the Outlet Mall. The backyard w/ the pool is very private which we loved. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils/supplies (there is a Keurig and regular coffee pots). If you like to use dish towels, however, I suggest bringing some along. The washer and dryer is awesome (we did bring along our own detergent and dryer sheets - baskets are provided). There are plenty of bathrooms, bedrooms, and closets. There are towels provided in each bathroom but if you use a lot of towels I recommend bringing a few extra along as well as an extra blanket if you are going to utilize the pull out sofas. The sheets/pillows are provided. We had one minor issue w/ grill - contacted mgmt and they sent someone out right away. 10/10 would stay again.

This was a great place to host my mother’s 80th birthday.
The property suited all of our needs. The booking process was easy and the Beach Reunion management group was very helpful throughout the process. The elevator was a must with over 1/2 of my guest over the age of 65, luggage & bringing groceries to the 3rd floor kitchen. This was an added expense, but well worth it. The outdoor furniture & grill wasn’t clean as much as I would like it, so we bleached and cleaned it ourselves. Also the living room furniture could use a little cleaning. The location was a short 2 min walk to the beach. The only thing that I didn’t read clearly was finding out that there was an extra charge to have the heated feature for the pool & spa to be activated from May-Sept. My family really enjoyed this location and it was more than enough space for our 16 guest. I would recommend this place to anyone with large group.

Awesome stay!
Everyone in our party enjoyed their stay. The house sleeps 32 ppl and we fit all 32 comfortable. Very close to shopping centers and outlets. Close drive to boat rental for crab Island. House had plenty of cooking pots and utensils. Kids and the adults loved the pac-man arcade in the game room. Short walk to the public side beach and pampanos joes. Plenty of pool toys n floats in the Shedd. We all had a great time sitting around the fire just cutting up. House had a few bikes for use. Was a little warm down stairs but had a couple of fans in closets. Could have used a few extra blankets and pillows. No doubt we will be returning in the near future.
