We offer them for between $300 and $495 per week (+taxes and processing), depending on time of year.

Optional Beach service: As a courtesy to guests, we offer a discounted beach service. If you choose this option, vendors will set up two umbrellas and four chairs, Sunday-Friday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Many of our guests enjoy this amenity as it guarantees a reserved spot on the beach and does not require you to lug the umbrellas and chairs back and forth yourself. This typically runs about $500 a week, through the vendor. But, because we have a contract with them we offer it to you for the steeply discounted rate of $250 + tax.

The property was everything we had expected and as advertised. We spent most of our time on the pool deck and enjoyed a round robin ping pong tournament that lasted the entire week. Communication with the property owner was great and there were absolutely no surprises, except for the beach area across the street. Thankfully we were here in the off season but still very small and cramped along with the green algae this week (not a deal breaker at all). Thanks to our hosts for making this an awesome vacation for all 12 of us, would definitely book again.

Perfect House for Families

Our family of 11 loved staying at Bahama Breeze. The host was highly responsive and proactively checked in on us via text several times throughout our stay. The house is close to everything and was exactly as described. Tons of pool/beach toys and things to keep kids occupied. Would stay here again!

The home is definitely in a great location, but the condition of the home needs some work. It wasn't very clean inside or outside around pool area. I'm sure the owner is great, but I believe is being taken advantage of when it comes to the cleaning crew. It would serve him well to do some updating to the home.

Amazing stay for large and extended family

This property was everything we could have hoped it would be. We ended up spending extended amounts of time in the pool due to double red flags at the beach the entire week. One concern I had was about small children being able to easily get out of the back door of the home to the pool area (especially if the adults were preparing dinner or preoccupied somehow), but the owner took precautions to guard against small children getting out of the back of the home without supervision, which was a huge relief. The home itself was the most well supplied rental I’ve ever stayed in. The kitchen had all the supplies we needed for our stay, which was a first, and a pleasant surprise as we cook several meals ourselves. When we return to Destin, we will absolutely return to this home if it is available.

Perfect house for our family. We used the outdoor space the most with the pool, hot tub, pool table, fire pit and outdoor eating grilling area. The host was wonderful and took care of minor issue quickly. Nice beach view and we used the smaller beach access across the street to set up our own tent. We really enjoyed this house and all it had to offer.

Overall, the house was fine and at a nice location (more on the beach access later). Lots of space downstairs for all the kids and family meals. However, the loft area was not useable, which was a pretty big problem. The ac unit was fighting for its life up there and the heat was oppressive--too hot for the two tweens that were going to stay up there. Plus, the open spiral metal staircase was extremely steep and unsafe. Kids and older folks could not get up and down safely. Even as a very fit adult I almost slipped myself. The kitchen spaces could have been cleaner. The cleaners did not take down party decorations from the previous guests and they did not put toilet paper in the bathrooms. (The hosts quickly remedied the toilet paper issue.) Our bed was missing a top sheet. The entry rug was filthy (see pic) and the air vents were filthy as well, which a quick wipe after each guest could easily solve (see pic). One of our family members sliced their hand on a metal panel on the door (see pics). I knew based on other reviews that there was limited beach space, but it was worse than anticipated, perhaps emphasized by the empty stretches of beach several hundred yards long on both sides of the tiny space that we could use that was off limits

The home is close to the beach, restaurants and stores. We rented the golf cart that is an additional charge with the home and used it frequently. In the evenings, the backyard was a great place to relax and enjoy time with family. The only thing that I didn’t care for, which was minor, was all the light that comes into the master bedroom from the street lights and sunlight. It made it hard to rest at times. If you are traveling with multiple families, the pool house is definitely a plus. We would rent this home again.

Amazing Week at Bahama Breeze!

Three generations (about to be 4) at Bahama Breeze, oldest being 80 and youngest being 22. Grandchildren from 22 - 27. (some with spouses). Great house inside and out. Practically lived in the backyard with pool, ping pong, hot tub, pool table and grill. Great activities for all with short walk to the beach where we rented chairs and umbrellas. We've been coming to the beach since OUR children didn't have children yet...for 30 years! This is the best house ever. Michael Harleman, owner, is totally responsive to all our needs. Highly recommend.

Overall it was a great place to stay. The beach access was very close and nice to use. The golf cart was fun to get around in. All stores and malls are very close and you can get there by golf carts.I got up early every day at 6:00 am and set up on the beach right at the waters edge right across the street. Perfect Destin water! The pool was clean and nice to use.There were a few small issues but I called Mike and we got everything worked out. It is near the end of scenic 98 so there was not a lot of traffic which was nice.Great place for all ages.

Our family and close friends returned to Destin to fulfill my husband's final wishes and spread some of his ashes. It was a difficult trip and I didn't want to book where we normally stayed. This property was absolutely perfect for what we needed. Plenty of common space for many people, EXCELLENT back yard and outdoor kitchen, quiet area, very easy beach access, water view.

Bahama Breeze - Destin

The back yard is great at Bahama Breeze in Destin. The house is clean, but certainly not a luxury home. We have been going to Destin each summer with our sons and now with their families for over 20 years and have stayed in 'luxury' homes. The inside of the house does not look like the pictures. Its kinda beat up inside and the living room furniture is old/worn looking - not what is in the pictures. The kitchen is well stocked with all you need to cook, etc.; however, the overhead light is nothing more than a nightlight and there is no light over the sink or under cabinets which makes it impossible to see what you are cooking or doing. There is an extra refrigerator in laundry room, but it has no shelves or drawers. Front door cannot be locked from inside. Our 2 1/2 year old great granddaughter opened the door twice and ran out so we had to barricade the door and move the stuff to go in and out. Driveway is listed as fitting 6 vehicles, we could only get 4 in it. The house is close to beach - short walk or golf cart ride. One family member said the house reminds them of a frat house.
