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.

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.

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.

Great location in Destin!

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.

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!
