Recent email from physician, who has stayed at the home for many consecutive years, plus has confirmed another reservation for 2026. My family and i greatly enjoyed our recent stay at your beautiful beach home. Everything was perfect as on prior occasions. We love the location, particularly the ease of access from hwy 98 and the proximity to the outlets and Sandestin. The beach there is beautiful and not as crowded as other areas. Your home is beautiful and spacious. There is plenty of room for our entire family and guests. The sleeping accommodations are excellent. The home is very comfortable. The master suite is particularly nice. The bathrooms and closets are larger than any place we have ever stayed. Of course, we love the fact that the place is pet-friendly. Our mini-schnauzer is right at home! There is plenty of room for cooking and eating. The gas grill and patio are perfect. Our kids love the pool, and the beach front amenities are a real bonus. There are plenty of restaurants close by, several in walking distance. Buster's is our favorite, especially for gumbo. We look forward to many future visits to your home.
5/27/23: We loved this house. It had plenty of room for us, our adult kids, and our 5 grandchildren. The location is wonderful. Having access to the beach front pools and hot tub made it the best of both worlds ( private house and resort amenities). We had a few questions and the property manager was very quick with the answers. We are already looking forward to next year! Date of arrival - May 27, 2023
Girls trip The house was wonderful. Loved the decor and enjoyed sitting out the Patios. It was wonderful for a girls trip. Lots of space and having 4 bathrooms was great. Loved beach and use of beach front resort pools and hot tub. Close to everything you need. 2/25/2023 at 4:45 PM
Our family goes on a getaway every year. We had never been to Destin and going through VRBO found this property. Everyone totally enjoyed. The private pool was the perfect size. The ability to go next door to the beach front resort was a major plus. The private access to the beach is a major part of staying here. Decor was very nice and includes almost any pot you need. We will definitely be back. 6/18/2022 at 4:20 PM
Recent Guest Email "Our family of 3 adult children and their spouses had a great time. Our Orange Beach condo was damaged in hurricane Sally and we had to find an alternative place to vacation. We definitely found the perfect place. The house allows 4 couples their own space and the kitchen/living room area is great for the family to gather. The house comes with access to the beach front pool and hot tub complex. Walk onto to the beach and we were soaking up the sunshine. The kitchen has all the things required to cook meals at home. The BBQ is in good shape and was used several times during the week. During these "COVID" times, it was nice to have a place that allowed us our space, but convenient access to everything that Destin has to offer. We will suggest staying here to our friends and family."
Guest email "Spacious home with lots of room. Easy access to the beach. Very close to shopping and restaurants. We had a great time and would rent it again."

Guest: Thanks!!!!!!!! We love the house! Brenda
Guest: Becky said: "The house was wonderful!!! This was our third time to visit the Destin area and the beach at this area was our favorite. We generally have a menu planned and eat out one night. Our choice is always AJ's, we love it. There were plenty of dishes and cookware. Access to the beach front pool and hot tub was great for when we wanted to swim in a large pool. We also loved the Bay Town Wharf and shopping at the outlet mall. Thanks for a wonderful location!"

This guest was wonderful in every way, and is more than welcome to return to the home at any time! We hope that this guest, like many others, will come visit our home again to enjoy the beautiful beaches and Caribbean like water of our area!!!
This property worked perfectly for our family. The house had plenty of room and the location close to the Cresent property pool and steps from the beach made it super easy for everyone to come and go as they please.

Thanks to this classy and appreciative group, who will receive a discount for their next stay!
Our family loves this place! The house has lots of room and it's nice and clean. The pool is huge and the beach is amazing and only a few steps away. There is a Winn Dixie around the corner. The Surf Hut has good food, drinks and service. It is a short walk from the house. The private pool is fun too.

We gladly provided a 5 star review for this fun loving family! This guest really enjoyed the home's wonderful location, which is convenient to beach front restaurants that are walking distance from the home, and close to shopping and activities. The private pool and beach bring guests back year after year.
This property was amazing! Plenty of space for our group of 9! Beach access was easy and we really enjoyed using the Cresent pool. Very convient to Winn Dixie, Alvin’s Island, and The Surf Hut. Just a few tips for the ladies…bring your hair dryers as they do not supply them and if you like to cook you might bring a few extra kitchen towels.

What a wonderful guest!!! Her nice family is welcome to come back any time. They really enjoyed the private pool, as well as the 4500 square foot Resort Pool. We provided hair dryers and additional kitchen towels for the benefit of future guests.
The house was great! Our group of 8 had plenty of room and no issues while staying at the home. Home was clean and recently updated. Plenty of kitchen pans, dishes, etc. Each bedroom has its own attached bathroom which was amazing! Would definitely stay here again!

Thanks to this appreciative guest! It is wonderful to welcome such nice guests to return to the home in the future.. The large home offers spacious living areas, plus a great layout for the bedrooms with private bathrooms. The living room also has fold out leather sofas with half bath for others.
Cousins weekend 2023 was a huge success due in part to this fabulous home that was clean, fully stocked, steps away from the beach and shopping. Every bed was super comfortable! Appreciated the owner ensuring we had no issues and that everything was in good working condition. Looking forward to next year :)
My husband and I took our nine children, ages ranging from 4 to 17, to stay in this home. It was beautiful, clean, and plenty of room for my teenagers to spread out. The older kids were able to ride bikes to CVS, Starbucks, local souvenir, shops, and I felt comfortable sending them to the pool in the beach by themselves. The Littles enjoyed the home as well, it was very safe and family friendly. The walk to the pool was easy, and we normally parked our things at the pool when we were at the beach. We did end up renting a car, but only used it a few times and honestly next time we will probably rent carts versus a car. Ubers were fairly priced if we wanted to go into Destin. It was a wonderful stay, we made amazing memories and plan on going back!

Great guest and family! Took great care of the home, and was very communicative and responsive!
The property was exactly as depicted online. The pictures are a true representation of the property. The access to the beach through the pool area of Crescent Resort was easy and fast. Being able to access the resort amenities was an added bonus. We had a few very minor issues which were corrected in a timely manner. This was a family Thanksgiving week vacation and it was awesome.

This guest was a pleasure to work with, and was obviously very appreciative and classy! She asked for a chair bolt to be tightened, which we arranged the same day. She responded: “Thank you so much. The property is everything and more than we had hoped for!”
Our family loved this house. The grandchildren spent hours in the morning and evening in the small private pool. The resort pools and hot tub were right across the street, and the beach was 2 blocks away, no busy streets to cross. The private beach rents umbrellas with chairs, and does not allow you to set up a tent or canopy. The house has plenty of space, plenty of everything in the kitchen and dining area. Bedrooms and bathrooms are as advertised, spacious and comfortable. Grocery stores, many restaurants, and a fresh seafood market all very close by. We hope to stay at this house again in the future!

Thanks to this guest for the 5 star review. The guest actually meant to describe in her review the distance to the Gulf, across the Huge expansive fluffy white sandy Beach. Our home, with private pool, is located on the beach side of Old Scenic 98, mere steps to both the private beach, as well as to the 4500 square foot beach front multi pool complex with hot tub and it’s beautiful landscaping!

Don’t expect to see the beach from the property
Even though this house comes up in a beach front and ocean front search - it is not. You can’t see the beach or even hear the ocean from the house. You have to walk through the large condominium complex to get to the pool and beach. The pin on the google map listed also indicates it is right on the beach. Would not have been upset if it was as described and if the pictures actually showed views from the house. The house overlooks a swamp from one side and the large condominium complex from the other. VRBO was not helpful, and the property owner never contacted us back about this. House was as described, but not the location. It was very disappointing coming from Wisconsin and having expected a beach front home.

The location of the home, with private pool, is accurately disclosed on the VRBO listing, and the home is enjoyed every year by numerous repeat guests, who leave classy 5 star reviews. The views from the home are all quite pleasant, including a view of the Gulf and private views from all 3 levels of the inland water and lake from the nicely furnished decks and patio. The steps to the beach are through a beautifully landscaping beach front area, with free access to the private beach and to the 4500 square foot beach front pool complex. The recently remodeled $2 million dollar home on the beach side of Old Scenic 98 has the most amenities when compared with other homes in the area. The fluffy white beach sand and clear Caribbean like water offers the best beach experience in the US.
This stay was everything we could have wanted. The directions from the owner were perfect. We followed them exactly and had a great time. The owner was great at responding timely to any questions we had. Great having access to plunge pool with a basketball hoop that my grandson LOVED, and was slightly shaded so the water temperature was more comfortable than the resort pools, which are in full sun. Normally that would be great, but with 94 degree days - it was hot. Easy access to all pools is a definite plus, as well as to the well maintained beach just through a gate from the resort pool. We went from the beach to resort pool, with several spray areas to clean off - keeping everything sand free. The beach was soft, white sand - Caribbean colors. We were able to rent and keep the golf cart and car in nicely shaded driveways and being on a side street - it was a very quiet area away from lots of traffic. However, we were easily able to use carts from the Mall area to the east to Destin Commons to the west, We had to Uber to the Gulfarium Marine Park & airport, but were able to park the cart at Destin Commons and use the car as a shuttle from there to Big Kahuna's. That being said, able to find lots of places to eat like Surf Hut (walking distance) and Whale's Tale, and pizza within an easy golf cart ride. Highly recommend the Dunes Family Putting Course about 1.5 miles east (golf cart) at Hilton Resort. Having own rooms/bathrooms perfect. Highly recommend this place!

Though golf carts can be a welcome adventure, a cart is really not needed, as the. home is walking distance to beach front restaurants and shopping. There is parking at the home for 4 vehicles, plus overflow parking and bike rentals are available nearby.
This spacious property was perfect for our family. Four bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms, allowed our party of 10 to have generous "personal space" as well as large gathering areas. We hope to return next year!
