A bit pricey but lots of beds....
Plenty of room for a large group. We used the main and guest houses. We had to have been the first renters since last season, film of dust on all surfaces and musty smelling, including the bed linens. We prepared most meals there and both kitchens lack a few basic necessities (no coffee machine in the guest kitchen). A few lights didn't work, a few windows didn't open. We had a some plumbing issues and property manager was generally responsive. The house backs up to a very noisy and busy street. Much confusion on the directions for beach gate and the passcode didn't work. Great location if you're looking to be close to shops and have a large group, as the guest house alone will sleep 6 comfortably. Plenty of bath linens.

Wedding House
My son was getting married in Destin and we wanted a house for all the family - enough space for everyone and this was it! Had 3 families here and everyone had their own space! We would rent again. Property Manager very responsive!

Definitely not as described!
This home was not what I expected. The reviews stated how clean and well kept this property was and that was not my experience at all. Things were broken all around the house (light fixtures, door handles falling off, and other small things), paint was chipped and scuffed. The pool house had a horrible chemical smell, the pool was filthy, master shower jets didn’t even spray with full force due to build up! I can keep going! I tried contacting housekeeping and never received a call back. If you are use to a well kept clean house I do not recommend this location!

Family Vacation
While this house is incredibly large and can accommodate a large extended family there were some misleading things and drawbacks. First, the second house is over the garage making and the loft area with the four twin beds is EXTREMELY hot. They do provide fans but it was still warm in there. Additionally they truly only provide starters of items that you usually find in a rental (paper towels, toilet paper, etc). We had to purchase our own toilet paper after spending a significant any amount on this rental. It was off putting and seemed cheap. Additionally they do not provide any beach items. We had to bring towels and purchase boogie boards and bring sand toys with us. Again for just a couple hundred dollars they could make the user experience more positive. Last issue we had was how LOUD the street is nearby. I know they can’t control this hit just know that you will hear the cars traveling at all hours. Most nights it’s not bad but starts up early in the morning On the plus side this house is large and the pool (whole small) was nice to have. The community pool is very close too. It’s in a nice gated community and walkable (1/2 mile) to the beach. We enjoyed the house and our time at the beach overall even with the annoyances.

Great Trip
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very 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 a great layout for our group of 15, 8 adults and 7 children. The few issues we had at check in were quickly taken care of and in a very pleasant manner. The pool was great for the kids and one of the community pools is just steps away. The inside of the home does need updating. The coffee table in the main area should be removed since it has a screw sticking out of the top. The king bed upstairs is two twins mattresses and there is no usable exit off the main bedroom to the patio. All that being said, the trip was a great success and we enjoyed our stay here. Just know the house is not perfect looking but it’s a great place to stay. Couldn’t have asked for more accommodating managers to work with. The beach is a bit of a hike, but discovered on last day we could park on south end of subdivision so the walk was easier on the littles. Thanks for a great 50th anniversary trip!
