Wow! This home was spectacular and well worth the cost. We had several families vacationing together, and this house truly became the centerpiece of our trip. Every bedroom had its own walk‑in shower and was beautifully decorated, giving everyone comfort and privacy.The saltwater lagoon created a fun, relaxing ambiance each evening, and between the lagoon, the pool, and the rooftop fireplace, it felt like we had our own private resort. We were so comfortable that we didn’t feel the need to go anywhere—paradise was right at the home.The provided golf cart was brand new and made getting to the beach incredibly easy. We used it along with the provided beach chairs to lounge on the sand, and it made those outings effortless. All the amenities felt new, clean, and thoughtfully chosen.The multiple floors and common areas were perfect for a large group. Massive TVs, plenty of seating, and several hangout spots meant everyone could unwind or do their own thing without ever feeling crowded. We also had a blast with the provided games and puzzles, which made our evenings together even more memorable.The management team was fantastic, and Sherrie in particular was incredible—responsive, helpful, and genuinely committed to making our stay perfect.The pool was the main attraction during the day, and the rooftop fireplace became our nightly ritual. This home exceeded every expectation and gave our family one of the best vacations we’ve ever had. Book it!!

Destin Gem is everything and more than you expect for a vacation home. Sherrie is a wonderful host. The house has everything you need for an awesome vacation. The beach accesss is practically across the street but having the golf cart helped with bringing anything you would wan to bring to the beach.
