Our Best Vacation Yet

The home was exactly as described. We had a short walk to the beach which was perfect! We had more than enough room for our group of 13! Ocean Reef was easy to work with, and super accommodating. One thing i will say, bring extra silverware with you! That is our single complaint. With that said, we are already discussing booking this property next year!

Awesome!!!

The stay was fantastic! The house is big enough for everyone. We were 12 guests! and everyone had an amazing time. I only wished we could've stayed longer! The house is so spacious and the private pool is amazing! There is also a basketball court! I totally recommend this house for big families! I liked that if I had a concern, the people in charge of the property were quick at responding with solutions!

Great time at Beach Basket

We came to Destin with another family and had a great time at the Beach basket. Four adults and four teenage boys. Loved the pool and basketball court. The boys each had a room to themselves upstairs and loved the XBox and huge projector screen. We loved the heated pool! The only drawbacks were that we never could get the dishwasher to work. The lawn furniture was rusting out and one chair was broken along with the table umbrella. What a great deal, location and house! It was perfect for our group.

Okay but lacking

We stayed here for 4th of July week. The house is nice and comfortable for 18 people. However, the pool is fairly small and as a result gets to be over 90 degrees which is incredibly hot for swimming. The internet quality is awful regardless of how few people are on it. They left two trash bags, two dish pods, and one roll of toilet paper (per bathroom) for an entire week. You have to BUY everything! They provide only towels, dishes and a few cooking utensils. No baking sheet. Overall, for 6K for one week there are basics that should be covered. Won't return to this location.

Great property for large family gathering

We had my husband and I, my parents our oldest son, wife their 2 kids, and our daughter and her husband. It was perfect for our family as everyone had their own bathroom with King bedroom and the kids had a bunk room (we had an extra bunk room). The pool and basketball court were awesome for backyard fun. The property needs cleaning up (dead leaves all around that kept blowing in the pool). Nice outdoor seating. We spent a lot of time in the backyard. There is an outdoor shower to rinse sand off toys, feet etc. The kitchen is nice but, not well equipped. (No toaster) I would suggest bringing your own knife for cutting veggies etc. (We ate at the house a lot because of our large group and the restaurants were slammed with so many people in Destin). There is a regular coffee pot and a Kuerig which work great! There is a large theatre room area on the landing upstairs that is very nice. There are a lot of remotes so thankfully our kids figured it out for the grandkids. There are TVs in all rooms but, not all have cable boxes and there are wires everywhere. We did rent a golf cart to shuttle my parents, kids and stuff to the beach. There’s not a lot of parking at the beach entrance. All in all this is a great house for multiple couples and kids. We have been vacationing in this area for 22+ years and love it.

Let me begin by saying that I didn't contact Ocean Reef management directly. Why? I didn't contact them because others before me complained about some of the same issues I had and nothing has been done. The deadbolt on the front door? Still doesn't work. Dirty floors? Still dirty. Toilet in downstairs master runs 24/7. Don't sit on the living room furniture. It all reeks of urine and is seriously outdated. Only one smart TV in the place. We had to buy Roku sticks for watching anything other than the one available channel. Patio furniture is literally falling apart. Dryer takes 3-4 cycles to dry and the washer reeks of mold/mildew and sounds like a fighter jet when it is running. Ice maker makes ice, but won't dispense it. If you like FIRM beds, this house has you covered. Grill was nice. Location was great. I wish I had more positives to report. I feel like I was robbed of nearly 4000.

The space of the house was great. Upon entering the house wasn’t deep cleaned. Sand on the floor. Which we understand - you are at the beach. But tables and counters were dusty. We did find a few bugs in the bunk bed sheets. We had to wash everything. Dryer took very long time to wash. The sink in kitchen backed up on the second day. They did send maintenance but it never worked even after being told it was fixed. The dish washer smelled like absolute sewage. The pool was nice. The yard guy came one day and blew all kinds of debris into the pool and left. The outdoor furniture is all falling apart.

Unacceptable stay

We booked this 6 bedroom property because we had 6 families attending our vacation. Cleanliness upon arriving was not spectacular, sand all over the floors, hair in the tubs/showers, cigarette butts around the outside of the pool area. We arrived Saturday evening and contacted management about the issues. While attempting to settle in for the evening, we realized one of the beds was broken and unusable, and several TV’s were missing remotes or didn’t works, we contacted management Sunday morning. Someone came on Sunday, and the issues were explained to him, but he left and didn’t fix anything. On Monday someone else arrived and fixed the TV’s, but stated he didn’t know anything about the bed. Finally, on Tuesday afternoon someone came by and fixed the bed, making us unable ti use one of the bedrooms for 3 nights. The pool chemicals were very strong on the first day, but by the 4th day, the pools was cloudy and dirty. No one arrived to service it or check the chemicals.The kitchen was missing a lot of supplies, for a house this big, it had only 2 regular glasses in the cabinet. Oh, and we found out it had no oven mitts or anyway to take a hot item out of the oven after we had an oven full of hot items. Overall, while you understand things can happen, having to deal with daily issues in the place you rented while on vacation doesn’t make for a very fun trip.

Pros•Location of the house is nice and provides easy access to the beach•The house is spacious, offering ample room for a large group or family.•Bathrooms in each of the bedrooms•Basketball Court was perfect for sports enthusiasts.•The heated pool is a wonderful feature, allowing for swimming regardless of the weather.Cons:•Lack of Maintenance and Upkeep: The house shows signs of neglect, with several areas needing attention.oAC Issues: The air conditioning went out during our stay, making it uncomfortable, especially in warmer weather.oPool railing is broken which may be a safety issue for many.oDishwasher Problems: The dishwasher does not work well, making cleaning up after meals a hassle.oBroken Window: Upon arrival, we noticed an outside window was broken•Worn Furniture:oThe furniture in the family room is worn and needs to be replaced oThe outdoor furniture is falling apart. Several of the chairs are so worn they were unusable.•Lack of basic kitchen amenities: We understand it is not set-up for gourmet cooking, however, it is lacking basic items such as cookie sheet, spatula or potholders. •The general feel of the house suggests that the owners do not prioritize maintenance, leading to a less enjoyable experience.

Christmas Beach Stay

The Beach Basket property was really nice & roomy. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out & have their own space. The basketball court & movie theater room provided lots of entertainment for the kids. The pool was nice but the weather a bit too cool for us to swim much. There were a few things I felt that the property could have had on hand, such as pot holders for getting pans out of the oven, kitchen dish rags & batteries for the remotes. Although the Ocean Reef staff was great to bring us some batteries & trouble shoot the projector screen after we arrived. The location of the property was only a few blocks to the beach, which was really nice! Overall, a great Christmas vacation!

Nice property with plenty of bathrooms

Decided to stay here with family for our last summer vacation before school. We absolutely enjoyed this place. Beautiful property with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms which was a plus!! Also had a washer and dryer which was very convenient. Only thing that sucked was that 1 of the basketball goals was broken. Also, many of the tv remotes were missing backs and batteries. Pool was also dirty when we arrived but pool guy came by with no problem. Overall, place was awesome. Highly recommend.

Great stay. This is a winner.

House was situated perfectly. Just a short walk to the beach. Everyone in our group had their own space because, of the size of the house, each room had it's own bathroom. The deciding factor for us was the pool, the outside space was big enough for everyone to have enough room to play and swim. Loved the theater room to relax with a movie after long day at the beach or shopping. Will definitely book again when I am in the area.

Big house and nice pool but needs some TLC

The house is big enough for a large group and the rooms were really clean and beautiful and each one has its own bathroom which is amazing. The pool was very clean and refreshing and the back yard was alot of room. Problems: *When we got to the house the floors on the bottom level looked clean but after we had all walked barefoot on them for an hour our feet were black. We ended up buying a wet swiffer the next day to clean it . *The BBQ grill when we got there was unusable, one of the handles was actually broken off and the burner was stuck in the on position. The sink in the upstairs bathroom was basically totally clogged. (The good thing is that I contacted the company that runs it that night and they sent someone the next morning who remedied those two things) *The carpet on the stairs is super ratty, the sound system upstairs was nice but was not hooked up right so only one of the speakers worked. *And then little things like there was a small hole in the wall going up the stairs from someone of something running into it and the toilet paper holders were barely hanging on in a couple of bathrooms. *There were barely any spoons for a big house like that so we ended up going to buy new ones and also bought a frying pan because they had about 3 but were so scratched up we were nervous about using them. All and all the house is in a great location and near the beach so we had an amazing time. The house just needs some TLC and it would be a 5/5.
