Family vacation
The property was perfect for our family of 5. Our pre-teen boys enjoyed the amenities, especially the pool (heated for an extra charge). The gated community was nice and quiet. The community pool would have been a bonus, but it was not heated and air temperature was only around 70 degrees through the week. In summary, we liked the home and would certainly consider staying again when in Destin.

Spring Special
The house is very nice and very well equipped! Neighborhood rules are very strict with intimidating fines of $100 for small infractions. Use of the community pool and recreation facilities is a bit of a hassle with having to pay a $100 deposit for each wristband that must be returned. The golf cart provided is super and well maintained.

Perfect for all of us
We needed a relaxing vacation for our family that includes 6 kids, ages toddler to teen. This house was simply perfect for our needs. I loved that we all had plenty of space, yet all felt together. The teens enjoyed heading to the beach or the community pool, while our littles seemed to enjoy the pool at the house more than anything. Everything was so clean and the house was much more impressive than the photos show. Definitely would book here again!

Great getaway for a large family
Beautiful house, loved the pool. The pool house and club house was close enough to walk to. The beach was a quick golf cart ride up the road. Loved the layout of the house as well. Would definitely come back.
