Great Week!

We had a great stay at the Big Tuna. The pool is just steps away. We were bummed that the ocean seemed so far away - about a 1/2 mile walk but the shuttle was nice to have. The house was clean and comfortable.

Great House!

We had a great stay at Big Tuna and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to stay in the Destin area. Clean, spacious house, not too far from the beach (the free trolley is a huge bonus!), nice pool. The only thing we wish had been clearer in the listing is the limited parking, but given the off season we were able to park our extra vehicle by the pool without issue. Will definitely consider this house for future trips to Destin.

Amazing house

The house was called The Big Tuna. It was very clean. It was 10 mins walk to the beach. We didn’t get to swim at the lagoon, but it looked great. Looks like a lot of people enjoyed it just by driving by it. Easy instructions how to clean before leaving the house. We really enjoyed our 4 day stay. Definitely recommend.

Destin Spring Break

Had a wonderful spring break in Destin with my family. Big Tuna was a lovely house. The pool was great and short walk to the beach. We ran out of gas for the grill and management was very responsive and replaced the tank the next day. I wish they had provided more dish soap and some of the pans in the kitchen need to be replaced. Otherwise everything was great

Great accommodations in a great location

Our family of 5 really enjoyed our Big Tuna stay. The house is in good shape with no major wear and tear issues and plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen has plenty of pots, pans, bowls, utensils for all of your cooking needs. You will need to make sure to bring a beach bag and towels but there is a beach cart with plenty of beach toys and 3 chairs to use as well. The pool is really fantastic and we often split our time between the pool and beach. The location was great, close to restaurants, the beach, and attractions. We will definitely stay here again in the future.
