A Little Bit of Heaven on Earth

This house is adorable, inside and out! The decor, bedding, kitchen, and just everything were more than I ever hoped for. The baby had room to run, plus we all had plenty of room to ourselves. The house is cozy, comfy, and welcoming -

Family Vacation

The house was amazing. We enjoyed how close it was to the beach. The cleanliness was just ok. There was sand on the floor when we arrived and a pile of sand in the corner in the bunk bed room and there was another dirty issue but I don’t want to say. The owners are aware of it and they personally called me to apologize which meant a lot to me. The cleaning people were suppose to show up the next day but they never did. Overall this is a fantastic place to stay. Especially with a bigger family.

We had an amazing time and our home was incredible. We will most certainly return. Thanks so much.

The house was awesome. It was just as described and our family fell in love with it the moment we walked in. The location was absolutely perfect and so quiet. We walked to the beach numerous times every day and it took less than 10 minutes. We made wonderful family memories with our stay. Needless to say, we are already planning our return to this beautiful home.

Friends week

We had a great time and the location is a short walk from the beach. However the house needs a deep cleaning as the showers were dirty and the sheets seemed like they might not have been switched. Overall it is a nice house with a friendly neighborhood.

Outstanding host and location.

The group had an amazing time with this property and will definitely return next time we have this many people. Very walkable to the beach in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. We did have an issue with not having enough hot water for our 12 people to shower every evening and parking was tight for 4 vehicles. The host and neighbors are chill so long as your group does the same.

Ray is a wonderful owner who has put a lot of effort in making a wonderful place for vacationers to come and have a home away from home. This property is everything it is listed as, and Ray was a pleasure to work with. All positives on everything! I would suggest renting a golf cart if you carry a lot of bunch stuff. Also, it’s a good place, so the beaches get plenty of people.

Owner (Ray) is great

The property is exactly as promised - walking distance to the beach, quiet neighborhood and clean. We didn’t have hot water for the first part of our stay, but it was fixed as soon as I reached out to Ray. The front door is a little quirky but calling the property manager helped us get in. I would return to the property in the future!

Great Location - Perfect For A Family

Loved the location, we have stayed in this Crystal Shores subdivision before and it is in our opinion the best location in Destin to stay, close to everything. Community Pool, 15 minutes walk to the beach, 10 minute walk to shopping center. The house is very nicely maintained and perfect for families. The kitchen has lots of dishes, silverware, and glasses, we felt it was a little lite on cooking utensils, but this was not too much of an issue as most meals we eat out, or BBQ’d. The house has a wonderful Propane BBQ. We were surprised to not find some things we kind of though were rental basics in the kitchen like salt & pepper, and coffee filters, but that was our only letdown. Otherwise the place is great.
