Great experience

Perfect size for a bigger group plenty of room for everyone. The pool area was nice for days we did not want to load all of our stuff and go to the beach. The golf cart is convenient for beach days. Nice quiet neighborhood close to all the things we had planned to do! Would recommend

Perfect Location

Our stay with My vacation haven was amazing! We can only hope the same house is available for next year! Perfect location, very convenient to the beach with private access, lots of beach toys, chairs, wagons & umbrellas provided, convenient parking for the golf cart located at the end of the community, everything needed to “eat in” was provided, beds were nice and comfy.

This house was awesome! It was very clean and accommodated our family nicely. The house was decorated beautifully. The pool was clean and taken care of. The golf cart was a plus too. A short ride or walk to the beach. I would definitely stay here again!

Location, location, location! This home was conveniently located in a gated community just steps from the beach. Lots of space all on one floor. Beautiful, clean pool right out the back door when you didn’t want to beach it. Near a lot of shopping & dining options. Quiet, well-kept neighborhood, as well. Host quick to respond via text. Recommend!

Great spot for family vacation!

Check in process was super easy. The location is great and we loved the golf cart! We had an issue with the WiFi and property management couldn’t get it fixed during our stay but was great with communicating the issues with us. We also had an issue with the pool being heated even when we turned it down to 50.. it felt like we were in a hot tub when it was 90 degrees outside! Hopefully they get that fixed for other stays! Overall, I would recommend this house for a family vacation!

Perfect Family Vacation!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was clean with plenty towels and starter supplies. There is plenty of room for a family or group. The home has everything you need to enjoy your stay including all beach accessories (chairs, umbrellas, toys, and wagons). Also pool floats and toys are available. The pool and golf cart were great additions. The only problem that we had is we were given the wrong gate code to enter the community, but that was quickly resolved. The location of the home is PERFECT!! Walking distance to the beach, and the gold cart made it easy to get to several shops and restaurants near by or just for cruising the strip. I would definitely stay here again. I recommend 10 out of 10.

Very Happy with Salty Seas

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the location, the home, the pool, and the golf cart. The home was very clean and even smelled clean. The kitchen has everything you need. All appliances were up dated, clean, and in good working order. The things provided for the ocean were a bonus. Also loved all the outdoor furniture, dining table, and grill. The pool with the water fall was fabulous and very clean. Vacation Haven was also exceptional to work with. My only suggestion and not complaining, the couch and rug in living room is ready to retire and the blinds on the back door don’t go up to see that beautiful back yard. These were my only things and they are not deal breakers. Great place for families or even just couples with furbabies.

Destin is Beautiful!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was nice; sadly, there were only 4 washcloths and 4 towels, but it sleeps up to 10 with no option for additional clean towels or washcloths. Also, the “walk” to the beach was more like a short hike between carrying the beach towels, umbrella, chairs, and bags because the golf cart had to be parked a quarter-mile away from the beach access. It is much easier to drive the golf cart to the public access a half-mile away, park closer, and schlep your stuff down the ramp. Bring your own beach towels because there aren’t any! The doors to the bedroom and bathroom don’t stay open, leading to some stuffy rooms and frustrated kiddos. The beds were uncomfortable but clean, with plenty of pillows but no extra blankets. The pool was nice though quite warm. Overall it was nice, but we will look for somewhere else to stay next time.

Nice Thanksgiving getaway!

We loved the house and pool. It was super nice and plenty of room. Golf cart was nice once we figured out where to park it. You have to go to the public beach access at Pompano Joes if you want to drive the golf cart to the beach. We had the pool heated and it got up to 100 degrees so gets super hot which is nice at night and early morning. The only complaint I have is communication with Vacation Haven. The first night we realized 2 of the beds did not have blankets on them so the next morning I reached out to Vacation Haven and was told housekeeping would bring us blankets. Around 5:00 we still had no blankets so I reached out again and was told this request was in to housekeeping. We never received blankets so had to go buy 2 blankets that night. I felt like they were a little short with me when I had questions and didn’t know how to answer them. Overall we had a great stay and did not let this ruin our trip. The beach was beautiful and love this area!

Neglected house

This property is begging for even the slightest maintenance to be tended to - light bulbs are out, living room fan does not work, kitchen trashcan does not close, guest shower curtain is ripped and moldy. GOOD LUCK trying to figure out how to turn either shower on. Pavers by pool are sinking and unsteady to walk on at all 4 corners. Pool and property was clean, just rundown and not maintained. If you’re sensitive to bleach don’t stay here though. Holy moly, even inside the refrigerator it reeked of bleach. At least it was clean? Best thing about this property is the golf cart and location, both of which you can find at better kept properties. It would also have been nice if they left a map on which way to go to get to the beach gate, and exactly which gate it is. Would not recommend this place for the price. I called and let them know of these issues. Hopefully they fix it up because the location is great!

Nice Clean Home Close To The Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: PROS: Very quiet and friendly community. Great location and in walking distance to the beach. Home was very clean and had your common essentials. The pool was clean and the golf cart made it convenient. The beach access was really close so that was a good plus to the stay.CONS: Accessing the communities gate was iffy at times where the gate code didn't work sometimes. The beach access location was kind of confusing to find but it is close. No actual parking for the golf cart to go to the beach and was Instructed by the property managers to park the golf carts outside the community entrance but the signs outside the entrance states no parking of those particular vehicles there so that made us nervous. Seen 3 racer snakes in the backyard coming in and out of some area on the side of the house but didn't seem aggressive.

Dirty Pool

We arrived on Monday eve and didn't use the pool until Tuesday stayed at the shallow end because the pool needed to be cleaned. There was no skimmer to remove the bugs. My husband hooked the hose up and vacuum the bottom. I called twice and sent messages as well.
