Spring Break

We stayed here as a family of five over spring break, and it was absolutely perfect for us. The home was clean, comfortable, and offered plenty of space for everyone. The backyard was a great bonus—ideal for relaxing after the beach or enjoying quiet evenings together. The location was excellent, close to all the amenities we needed. The host was responsive and communicated with us throughout our stay as needed. We would definitely stay here again!

Best Beach House Yet

My wife and I have stayed at several beach rentals across the southeast over the last 5 years. Everyone knows that photos can be deceiving and some times descriptions are embellished. That was NOT the case at this property. The home is well designed, nicely decorated and setup well for families. You can tell a lot of thought was put into the rental and making things most convenient for your beach trip. There were plenty of table settings, seating, towels, kitchen utensils and plenty of beach wagons, chairs, coolers and umbrellas. The pool and hot tub were also plenty large for me, my wife and our 3 kids. The beach was a short easy walk. If we go back to Destin we won't bother looking at other places, we will stay here.

Family Vacation

The owners were incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. The house was exactly what we were looking for—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained—which really made our trip special. After a day at the beach, the pool was a perfect place to unwind and relax. The location was ideal, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend staying here! We had such a great stay, we are also considering checking out another of their locations!

Perfect Family Oasis

We booked this trip last minute, and we were so pleased with this house. Not far from the beach, but plenty to do at the house if you are wanting to stay in for a day with the family. The backyard pool setting is just what it looks like in the pictures. Plenty of room in the house, with a very comfortable feel all around. We still talk about this trip many months later

Amazing

The house was amazing! The pool and hot tub was a definite plus to come home to everyday. The access to the beach and local shopping and dining was very easy and accessible. We rented a golf cart for our stay which I would recommend for coming and going to beach especially with a large party. The host were very responsive to all inquiries and checked in on us daily. I will definetly be staying here again for sure.

Perfect family rental!

The house was clean, well stocked and beautiful! It fit our family of 7, kids’ friends, and my in-laws perfectly! Dave and Shannon were responsive and made the check in/out process quick and easy, and were even generous enough to send the family Crumble cookies! The pool and hot tub were a huge hit, as were all the included pool toys/inflatables & the house was a quick 5 minute walk to the crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches! We definitely will be back to rent the “Backyard Oasis” again!

Exceeded Expectations

My stay at this property was AMAZING!!! When I tell you it had everything a family would need for a beach stay getaway, I mean just that. My family and I felt like we were in our home away from home. The ambience, scenery, spaciousness, and pool/backyard area was everything our family was looking for to reconnect and relax. The beach being a short walk away was also a plus. I would give this property a 5 STAR rating and recommend this as a first choice to anyone looking to vacation in the Destin, FL area. We can't wait to book this home again next year!!!!

The home was as advertised, modern, well kept and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and spa each day and the fire pit, sandbox and grill were a bonus! The detail provided about occupying the home and instructions for using everything from the thermostat to the spa was appreciated. The owner was extremely easy to communicate with and at the ready to help with any questions. The location was quiet and a short distance from the beach, shopping and restaurants.

Pool and Hot Tub Oasis

The home was wonderful. The weather was not very cooperative for hanging at the beach, but that didn’t effect our stay at all. The kids played in the pool/hot tub the entire time. The home was well stocked with the things that matter (cookware, seasonings, pool/beach towels, coffee, etc..). It is set up great for children. The host communicates clearly, and was prompt to respond to questions. We had no issues with this property. The location is excellent! We will be back.

Destin vacation home

This property was the best VRBO property I have ever stayed in. Everything about the home is as advertised, and more. It is highly evident that the host, David, is invested in his customers' experience. He was highly responsive and helpful. The home is well-maintained, very clean, furniture was comfortable, kitchen very wellzstocked, and the backyard is truly an oasis. The neighborhood is lovely, with close proximity to shopping, bars, and restaurants. The beach is a short walk, although we went around noon and were able to find a good parking spot. Can't recommend this property enough! Thank you for a great stay!
