My friends and I (10 people) had a wonderful time at this house. Our trip had some sporadic rain so using the pool was a life saver. We really enjoyed staying here.
Lizbeth and her family are all great. We do not have problem with the communication with them. They're nice, respectful and polite group. We are happy they choose our house for their stay on this trip. Welcome back anytime they need.
We had a lovely stay at this home which was pet friendly with fenced in yard for our dog, nice and clean, great neighborhood, safe, short walk to beach and restaurants and great for walking.
We had a great time and will book again.

Your positive feedback is a valuable recommendation for other travelers as well. If you have any more questions or need assistance with your future travel plans, please don't hesitate to reach out. Enjoy your future vacation at this lovely residence!
We loved our stay here! Everything was so clean and exactly as described. We have stayed in at least 10 houses in this neighborhood and this one was by far the best! I highly recommend!
The house and pool were great! Some things could use attention or replacing such as pots and pans, board games, PlayStation games didn’t work, dryer vent was detached, and triple bunk bed was missing a lot of hardware making it unsafe to sleep on.

It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the beaches! Destinations with beautiful beaches can make for a fantastic vacation. If you have any more specific questions about beaches, travel tips, or anything else, please feel free to ask. Enjoy your beach adventures!
This property was wonderful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was very clean, in a beautiful and safe neighborhood, the pool was AMAZING, and the owners were easy to communicate with. There were 9 adult females in our group, and the place could have fit even more. This would be a great location for couples, families with young kids, or adults. Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

Soo was a great guest. They respect all house rules and left the place clean. We would be delighted to welcome them back anytime.
The house is just as described online. Great communication from the property owner the entire stay. Walk to the beach is short. The pool is so nice. We heated it and the littles in our group stayed in it for as long as they could each day.
The house was beautiful and located in a safe, very clean neighborhood with a gated community and a clean beach. We are a family of six, and the house could easily accommodate more people. It was only a 5-minute walk to the beach, and afterward, we enjoyed the pool. We were glad we opted for the heated pool, especially in the chilly weather.The house had everything we needed for our stay. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our family time!
You can walk to the beach, the store., beach bar/ restaurant and right in your own backyard for the pool. The neighborhood is adorable and communication with management is effortless. Very nice people. The house itself is perfect for two or ten. Lots of thumbs up!

Jacqueline and her friend Shiela together with their dogs are awesome guests. They are responsive, well-mannered, and keep the house clean. We have no problem with them. I recommend them to any host for being such a great guests.
Stayed at this house with my family (husband & infant) + friends (husband, wife and their two kids). The home was the perfect space for us! The setup was great- with our favorite space being the living room/ dining room area where we could all comfortably hang out, enjoy breakfast & dinner, play games or watch TV. We chose to heat the pool during our stay and so glad we did - since the temps were cooler than usual.. we still got great use out of the pool! The fenced in backyard was huge for us too- since we had two furry friends with us! The location of the home is PERFECT! Close to the beach, restaurants, shopping, coffee shops, etc. The Dollar General located at the corner of the enterance of the community- was great for grabbing needed items. Host was always quick to respond to any messages / requests & very accommodating! So much as to have something dropped off at the house that wasn’t in my he house. Highly recommend this property!
unfortunately It was not what we expected for the cost of this property we found cockroaches ,rat poop I didn't have trash bags I didn't have napkins the house was not clean. She accused them of losing control of the garage door so as not to refund anything, her response was funny, wanting to reward $100 dollars for everything we mentioned to her and looking for an excuse to make a dispute and not make any refund.
We also we have a lots the pictures.

Thank you for your feedback and your stay.
Jose didn't express any issues or concerns during his stay, We have sent multiple messages asking about his stay. On the morning of his departure, he had many complaints. I considered compensating him, but after he left, I found the house was left in a terrible condition .
There was trash everywhere, food in the bedrooms, and stained blankets. The floors and walls were sticky, and the garage and gate remotes were missing. Additionally, during his stay, the police were called by multiple neighbors.
Unfortunately, Jose was attempting to receive better compensation in exchange for a positive review. Regrettably, we sometimes have to deal with dishonest guests. We never had any issues with roaches or rats, and Jose never shared any evidence or pictures with us or with VRBO.
Future guests can check our past reviews and see we give 200% for you!
Communication with the owners of the house was very efficient and friendly. Tasks and rules were labeled around the house and organized in the welcome guide. Our vacation was so smooth & easy. Highly recommend this house. Very short walk to the beach. Great little private neighbor for walks. Neighbors are friendly and we even made friends with some of the dogs that lived nearby. Plenty of shopping, things to do, and places to eat (also neatly organized in the owner's welcome guide). Short drives to the airport, grocery, morning coffee, and all of the other essentials. Not being from Florida, it could be very overwhelming traveling with a group of 12, ages ranging from 3-56, but we never ran out of things to do even with it being mostly overcast and rainy for our stay. More importantly, it fit us all comfortably and provided everything we needed. The washer & dryer was very handy! The pool & outdoor area was a great set up and fit us all. There were toys for the pool and some for the beach along with a beach wagon and chairs. Location, accessibility, options, and a clean space was all we could ask for and we got it! It was a great vacation!
My family of 5 plus our dog stayed in the property the week of Thanksgiving. The property was spacious and VERY clean. Short walk to the beach, centralized to fun things to do with the kids. Host were very communicative, we were very happy! Will definitely be back.

Our home is ideally located between Destin, Miramar Beach, and Sandestin for quick and easy access to water parks, Harbor Walk, Baytowne Wharf Village, and premier outlet shopping.
Getting Around: The house is in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood in Miramar Beach, FL. With its prime location, a lot of exciting activities await you here! A beach trip will never be complete without trying out thrill-seeking beach activities, such as parasailing, jet-skiing, or banana boating, so head on to the watersports rentals and water parks nearby for a fun and unforgettable adventure! If you are looking for something unique and more extreme, the adventure parks or off-road tours nearby are worth the experience!
For retail therapy, the premium outlet malls are just 10 minutes away from our beach home. We're just a few miles from Silver Sands Factory Outlet, the nation's large designer factory, featuring over 100 name-brand designer stores.
