Everything was exactly as advertised. Most times even photos don’t seem accurate but this was in fact upon arrival not disappointing at all. Any questions I had were answered quickly. Everything was clean and all we needed for a relaxing family vacation was provided. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice home to stay in Destin.

The house was great for a family of 6 and had plenty of room for more. The kids loved the game room, the air hockey, and the pool. The beach was just a short walk away and the house came with a nice wagon and cooler to pack your beach gear in. The house could use a little TLC, but was clean and well appointed.

It sounds like the kids got the full experience with the game room, air hockey, and pool all in the mix. We're happy the home gave your family of six plenty of space, and that the wagon and cooler made those short walks to the beach a little easier. Thank you for the honest notes as well, which we've shared with our team so we can keep the home in its best shape. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again.

Loved this place! It is at perfect distance from the beach plus all the stores and restaurants. Community is pretty quiet and had no trouble with neighbors. My family loved how spacious it was and the game room. There was lots to do around the house including the pool that was big enough for everyone (pool reached from 3ft deep to 5ft) the hot tub had controlled temperature but we managed to enjoy it. We had all the essentials we needed around the house, from beach chairs to toiletries. I can definitely see myself staying here again!

My family of 10 had a great time in Destin at this home away from home! Ample room to spread out and be comfortable. Loved being so close to the beach and the shops.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 August 2026
A group of ten needs real room to spread out, and we're glad the home delivered that comfortably. Being close to both the beach and the shops makes Destin easy to enjoy without much planning. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We would love to welcome you back.
