Pearl of Destiny

We thought the house was a perfect size for our group however it was lacking in a few amenities. There needs to be plastic glasses, etc. to utilize around the pool. Also, the door code had to be reset a few times because it stopped working. The pool person let us know there was a leak in the pool and the heat was inconsistent. The garage door stopped working at one point and maintenance had to come over. The curtains were falling down in the main floor bedroom. And painting wasn't complete in the guest house where curtain rods and towel rods were replaced. It worked ok for our group but I probably wouldn't rent this place again.

Everything was fantastic, the rental company was very helpful and quick to respond to any need. We will definitely be staying with them in the future. We were in the middle of a hurricane and they were right there with us! We can’t thank them enough for a great vacation

Great vacation location

The house was wonderful and roomy for our very large group, we had room to spread out and not be on top of each other. Our only disappointment is that the pool wasn’t clean or clear. Destin couldn’t get any better. Great place to be on vacation.

Fabulous time in Destin

Our family vacation in Destin East was a huge hit with the entire family! Our proximity to the beach, the spacious living areas and built in pool were fabulous! We were slightly disappointed in the “tired” conditions in the property, not all of appliances worked properly and furniture was in less than ideal condition.

Great indoor and outdoor spaces, private, quite. Only suggestion, with capacity for occupancy would be beneficial to have some additional cookware, including a few different size pans, griddle for breakfast, etc

Peaceful Vacation

The property was very spacious. Easily accommodated 11 adults and 1 one child. Enjoyed the private pool. The six and four passenger golf cart made it extremely easy to get to the beach. I would definitely return.

Great Family Get Away

The property was just as pictured (except the size of the pool is a bit tinier than it looks) Very clean. There was plenty of room for all eleven of us! Plenty of sleeping space. And plenty of room to get to yourself when needed. The kitchen could use a bit of updating on items, but it was still great! We enjoyed our week, just wished we had been able to book longer!

Beach house

The house was beautiful and in a great location. Great amenities however we felt constantly targeted by an employee. The community was not friendly to vacationers. I made a complaint but did not receive a response.

Great space!

Our stay was amazing! We had 15 people total- 7 of which were children. The home itself had more space than expected and everyone was surprised at area of individual space/rooms/beds. However the best part was that there was large areas where we all could gather and spend time together. The house was located in a cul de sac on a quiet street. It was not far from the beach or from our favorite restaurant. The golf carts were great and provided a faster/easier/more fun way to get around.

We wish it had been closer to beach but golf carts were helpful for carrying everyone to the beach. Overall we had a great time and would recommend to others if you have a large group and don't mind a short ride to the beach.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was excellent, the only suggestion I have would be to consider the handicapped . One handicapped toilet downstairs would have been a luxury for the aged vacationers. The toilets were extremely low and hard to get on and up from.

Better Than Expected

The pictures don’t do this home justice even though they look great. In person is even better. Absolutely loved everything except the toilet paper that was a step down from gas station TP as if that is possible. Otherwise we loved the spacious kitchen with its large fridge, two ovens, two sinks, two dishwashers and independent ice maker (super convenient). The living room is spacious and comfortable to relax and recover from a day at the beach. Also enjoyable was the whole house sound system. Loved this stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Such a nice an beautiful house. Plenty of room for all our guests. The upstairs did seem to get a little hot at times and we were not able to adjust the AC lower due to the AC unit freeze issue. We used the grill one night and it made the guest house smell like gas for hours- probably due to the grill not being turned on for a while. The golf carts were very handy and we loved the surround sound music in the house and in the pool area. Would stay again.

Perfect Pearl

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of six adults and six children thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Pearl of Destiny. It provided everything we could possibly need and then some. The two golf carts were awesome to drive around the neighborhood and to the beach which is just a quick ride away. The pool was used everyday including the days “Alberto” showered us with a little rain. We cooked at home most days and the kitchen has everything, the only drawback being the ice maker not working. Wonderful week in Destiny East!!!LInda Shuford
