This property is a gem for its location. Tarpon beach access is literally a stones throw away from this property making enjoying crystal beach super easy and convenient. The provided golf cart was a nice touch that makes it even easier, although it's so close that using the cart for beach access is almost overkill. The neighborhood is excellent, quiet, clean and conveniently located to not just the beach, but any shopping or restaurants you would want to visit. The property was clean and in good repair. It was very spacious and worked very well for our large family vacation. All in all a good experience. Having laundry machines on two floors is also a nice touch.A few points that Id like to see addressed that are minor. The house had no trash bags or toilet paper when we arrived. We contacted the host and they immediately had them dashed over. The fire pit that the kids wanted to use doesn't work.The house has no coat hangers so bring your own if you plan on properly unpacking for an extended stay.Towels and other linens are supplied but in no real quantity. There was 1 bath towel per bathroom making requiring couples sharing a room to use our beach towels. Also, bring lots of beach towels.A bit of warning for parents of smaller kids that'll want to enjoy the pool; the surface of the pool is extra rough. After extended swimming sessions our younger kids had sores on their feet and fingertips. I understand textured surfaces for grip, but in my opinion, it's too rough

Family Vacation

We had a wonderful week at this vacation home! It was clean, roomy, comfy beds, and beautifully decorated. Close to the beach, lots to do in area, and host was quick to answer our questions. I was glad I got the pool heated as it was mostly a gloomy week so we spent a lot of time in the pool.

First, we got to check in a little early, as the house was ready!Great with communication. Quick response time.I LOVED the pool area! Plenty of lounging options and pool toys too! The house was great for separate areas for away time,if with a big group. Two washer/dryer sets! On 2nd and 3rd floors. Straight shot up the street and across road to reach the beach. Super close! Loved that they include a 6 seater cart to go exploring in! Really got our use out of this! Thanks for letting us use this fabulous house for our 5 th annual Destin vacation with our grandbabies! These memories will last a lifetime!
