Excellent for multiple families!

We had three families (kids ranging from 4-15) stay here this weekend and it was excellent. We had plenty of space, the location was close to the beach and restaurants/stores, and the owner was readily available for questions. We also enjoyed the cute, private community- gave a true Floridian vibe.

Such a lovely spot… just a 7 min walk to the beach! The house was super clean with a great beach vibe. Literally everything we needed was within a few minute drive for shopping, etc.. and the host was in contact immediately with any questions we had!

Just what we needed!

This was a great place for a family vacation, with a pretty short walk (or shuttle ride) to the beach and a really short walk to a nice pool. The house was comfortable and clean, and the kitchen was well stocked. We had 11 people, and it didn't feel crowded. Plenty of bathrooms, as well as closet space. Our hosts were very responsive and made things so easy. They were absolutely wonderful!

Great location, easy walk to the beach and right off of highway 98. The complex also has a very nice pool facility. Beach chairs and umbrella are added touches. The house is spacious and clean. Patrick was very responsive at all phases of the rental process. Just an excellent stay.

Family Vacation in Destin!

We had 10 family members at this location, and all of them LOVED the property. It was only blocks away from the beach; restaurants and retail shops were close by as well. The property was very safe and inviting. The individual houses were located on a property with lots of Beach Style homes and pristine grounds. We'll be back for sure.

Wonderful spring break with friends

We stayed in this vacation home for a spring break trip to Destin. We had a group of 9 that included two families with preteens and teens. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay! The house was spotless and well stocked. The resort pool was nice when we wanted a break from the beach and was surprisingly warm for April. The beach was a short walk away, but we rented bikes for the week and rode our bikes to the beach instead. Highly recommend this home!

A good Fit

My family of 9 had a wonderful stay at this rental! The complex was really easy to find and access from both the front and back entrances. We had enough room in the home so that everyone could be together but also had their own space. We had an issue with the grill when we first arrived and the owners and maintenance staff were able to get it fixed quickly and had great communication throughout the process. The pool in the complex was 10/10, we made a point to visit it everyday of our 8 day stay. The walk to the beach was very easy for our family to make and the shuttle was super convenient to use when we needed it. We loved our stay here!

Casa Destiny - Home run!

Casa Destiny was a hit with our family during our little league baseball tournament. The property is clean and well kept. The community pool a great way to spend the day and conveniently located in center of the village. The beach is a short walk. You can rent a golf cart if needed. Local restaurants and activities are close by which mage life easy. Our host Patrick was attentive and responded timely to my questions. Thanks for making my first time rental wonderful!

Family Annual Vacation

Our vacation experience was excellent. Patrick advertised the house as it is currently. He answered every question in a timely manner. The house is in an excellent location for food, shopping, adventures and more. Everyone in the community was friendly and the security was top notch. Be sure to plan accordingly for parking when driving larger vehicles because the overflow parking filled quickly. We rented a slingshot and golf cart (highly recommended) while there for six days and parked our personal vehicles in the overflow because the rentals counted as one of our 3 allotted vehicles.

It was a great week!

Casa Destiny was perfect for what we needed. It’s location was close to the beach for walking. And convenient for driving anywhere. Patrick was a great host: He answered any of my questions in a timely manner. The property was clean and well kept. The only thing I would do is bring your own beach towels, only two are provided. Also I highly recommend going to Henderson State park. The beach is awesome!
