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 -

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.

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.

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.

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!

Big house and close to the beach

The house was great and the location was too. The only strange thing was the lack of hospitality. Only one dish towel in the kitchen, no replacement for toilet paper or paper towels. The oven mits for taking pans out of the oven were almost useless. Along with that, someone came up and worked on a sprinkler right in front of the front door for about an hour or so without notifying us beforehand. Also, on the last night we were staying, huge bags of sheets, blankets, etc. were just left right in front of the door. Seems unprofessional when we weren't set to leave until the morning after. Would be a 5-star review if it wasn't for those things.

Another trip to the beach

Great property! Everything was there that we needed to have a great week! Very short walk to the pool and the beach! We had a great time, and the house was big enough to enjoy family time or personal time. I would recommend this property to others looking for a great place. The property was well maintained, and you did not have to have a degree in engineering to operate the televisions! Great stay, we will be back!
