My family and I had the best time! It was our baby’s first vacation, and the house was absolutely perfect for our family. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed to make the trip special and stress-free. Stephanie was such a friendly and accommodating host, which made our stay even better. The beach was also so close and an easy walking distance, which we loved. We made such wonderful memories here and would love to come back!
Great little property close to the pool. The beach is a short walk, but very do-able. House is a bit dated, but very clean. I would definitely stay here again.
The property was very clean. The location was great! Short walk to the beach was a plus - and having access to the provided wagon, chairs and umbrella was wonderful! The host was always quick to respond. We would definitely stay here again!
Absolutely loved the house! It was clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed walking around the sidewalks all throughout the neighborhoods. We walked to the beach several times as it was so close. Saw the pool but didn’t get in.
The property was just as described in the listing. It was perfect for our longer term stay. Our host, Stephanie, was amazing. She was extremely responsive and even made a special effort to obtain and deliver a few items to make our stay more enjoyable.
We had a lovely time, perfect location close to everything yet still a quiet area. Easy walk to the beach for sunsets. The house was well kept and clean. Host had great communication and was very help when needed!
Property was located perfectly. We could walk to beach and walk to the shopping center. Golf courses are close. I thought the property was fully fenced but just fence in front of house. Great stay with the family for the holidays.
The house was clean and close to a lot of things to do. The beach is super close and the neighborhood is great. The host was super responsive and helpful.
This is a really cute little property that is only a few blocks from a nice beach. Its right in the heart of Destin so our teens enjoyed the shopping, coffee and ice cream places as they could walk on their own.
Had everything I needed. Loved the house. It was pretty, clean and comfortable. It was big enough to bring family with me next time. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again or recommend to a friend.
We have returned to Luca by the Sea several years, now…we love the ambiance of the home, location to the beach, and hospitality of the hosts. Highly recommend.
This was our first time using VRBO and it was simple and amazing! A great experience with my family! The house was very clean and cozy and plenty of room for us all! It might not be right on the beach however a 10/15 min walk was not bad at all! Very happy with everything!
We had a great time. The cottage was perfect for is
