Fabulous House

This is an amazing rental. Perfectly clean, very well appointed, lovely beds and nicely decorated. This rental is perfect walking distance to the beach and pool. Only 5 minutes at a leisurely stroll. The beaches were fabulous. We loved this house, Five stars and look forward to coming again!

Can't wait to return!

We absolutely loved this home! We've been going to Destin for 10 years now and have rented all sorts of homes. This house was perfect for our family of 5. Ken was very responsive and checked in on us mid-week. We would be honored to rent this beautiful home again! It was the most well-stocked home we've rented! Thank you so much, Ken!

Amazing property!

This was our second year staying at this property - we loved it enough we returned! We've been going to Destin for over a decade and have stayed in many different homes and this one is the most clean and well-stocked of any! And we LOVE the memory foam mattresses! It is a short walk to the beach and our favorite coffee shop, Badass Coffee. (Give them a try!) The owner is very responsive and kind and I look forward to renting again for years to come. Thank you, Ken, for an amazing stay!

Beautiful Gulf Retreat

We absolutely loved staying at the Gulf Retreat! Very comfortable, and relaxing had everything we needed. There were things to do for everyone. Enjoyed cooking out on the grill in the private back yard, enjoyed visiting with family and friends and there was plenty of room in the house for everyone! The house is in walking distance to the beach, and Pompano Joes and Kennys for a bite to eat. We enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub and just going for walks and getting to see the sunrise and the sunset! We’re so thankful for the time we got to spend at The Gulf Retreat and looking forward to our next trip ... We will definitely stay here again!

Brenda and her family were great guest who stayed at my property. She followed all the rules and left the property in excellent clean condition. She used all the amenities; the pool, the hot tub, the private grill on the property, walked to the beach and of course the nearby restaurants. We hope she and her family will visit us again. Thanks again

Our favorite stay in Destin!

We’ve always stayed in the condos at Seascape every year when we come to Destin. This year, we decided to rent a house for the week with high hopes as we have small children. We were not disappointed! The house was exactly as pictured, very clean, and already had many of the items we needed for our stay. It was so nice not to have to pack a beach wagon, and chairs. There was even a high chair for our daughter. We were slightly concerned with the walk to the beach, but it was not bad at all! Our kids didn’t complain once. You’re on a private beach which is nice because it’s not as crowded. You have the use of 2 pools, both are great. Ken was a wonderful host. He’s very friendly, and has great communication. We can’t say enough good things about our stay. Can’t wait to come back next year!

Wife and I stayed a month at this property. Fantastic Stay. Home was well appointed with everything you need from beach toys, chairs, coolers, and cart in garage to everything you can think your will need in the kitchen. Nice smart tv and plenty of room to spread out in kitchen and bedrooms. King size bed was very comfortable and firm. For those of you working remote, Internet is Cox and I was getting around 240mbs up and 50mbs down if I remember correctly. Cant recall exactly but around there. Didnt have any outages.Very convenient short walk to the two pools, hot tub (really is hot), fitness center, courts, and beach. Nice having a gated community as it keeps the traffic down.Private beach is great. You will like having it. If you walk the beach down to the public access, it is packed over there. We also got two beach chairs and umbrella everyday of our stay already setup on the beach. Crystal white sand and clear blue green water.The property manager, Ken, was fantastic. If you have any questions or need anything he is super fast to respond.During our stay we had two issues that were promptly addressed by Ken. The master bath wouldnt drain fast so he sent out a plumber and took care of it. The Mr Coffee went out. He had a brand new one brought over immediately.Have to say this was probably one of our favorite VRBO stays. It was just like being home but there was a beach down the street. Highly recommend.

Fabulous property and host

Ken was a great host, who checked on us a couple times and responded to messages quickly. The home was extremely clean and very well stocked - every detail was considered, and the home was organized so everything was easy to find. The beach was exceptional, and I also loved the (very warm) heated pool and having a fitness center (there was also an unheated pool if that is preferred). The house was very conveniently located near restaurants, shopping and activities, and the location felt safe, with the complex gated.
