Linda was awesome host. She communicated regularly and was quick to respond back. Property was clean, great location, and lots of beach supplies available to use incase you didn’t get a chance to bring it. Private beach access was a plus as well. Highly Recommend!!

This was our fifth property to stay at in the Destin area and the best one overall—from the responsiveness of the host to the sheer amount of equipment (kitchen, beach supplies, towels, games) available. Anything and everything you could ever want or need was at your fingertips. The backyard was a nice size and the pool was the biggest yet of any place we’ve stayed. The living area was a nice size to accommodate all of us ages 68 to 1. It was so nice having each bedroom have its own bathroom and to have five of the six bedrooms have king size beds. Would definitely recommend and stay again when returning to the Destin area.

Great Vacation!

The house was perfect for our extended family. We had 6 children 8 years and younger. They loved the pool and the beach was a short walk from the house. The house had everything we needed, crib, pack and play, even a baby bathtub. The kitchen had all the amenities needed and the outdoor grill and refrigerator were very nice.

We absolutely loved this home. It was comfortable. The beds were comfortable and just felt like home away from home. The pool and jacuzzi were fabulous. We were in the pool first thing in the morning when it was still cool outside, but the warmth of the pool made it so enjoyable. I can't say enough about Linda. This is the best hostess ever! Communication is top notch. She made this trip magical. Thank you Linda.

Great Vacation House

We were very pleased with the house as it was very clean and comfortable. It met all of our family's needs as we all had our own bedroom and bath. There was a crib and pack and play available for our two young grandchildren and the bunk beds were perfect for the older kids. The property manager responded very quickly anytime that we texted and was always helpful. Having the private beach access was a definite plus. If we return to the Destin area we would definitely rent this place again!

Wonderful property

We had a great time during our stay. The house was perfect for our group of three families with teenage kids. Very well-appointed and new. Great location, just a few houses from the beach, and the pool/spa is great. Communication from the owner could not have been better and she was extremely accommodating to us during our stay. Strict HOA rules, but that was made very clear by the owner, and we did not have any problems. Highly recommended!!!
