Birthday trip

The property was everything in more. Only problem I had was not being to cook in house when we had groceries delivered and ended up have to go out to eat everyday of our stay. I called and spoke with someone waited 2 or 3hrs before we left to go get breakfast and no one showed. While eating someone came to check out the stove and I didn’t get an update so we have to eat out the rest of our stay other then that this place was great and in the perfect location

Amazing/Clean House

This property was amazing. The house was large enough for our large group to not feel cramped. The outdoor area with the garage/game room area was so cute and well worth it. For anyone wondering, this house is a straight shot from the public access to the beach, the walk only took about 4 min! Lots of parking, big kitchen, very clean. We will definitely be staying here again.

Perfect for our big crowd

We loved that this home has enough space for our crowd of 3 families with small children. The private pool was perfect for our little kids and we loved that it's safely fenced away from the house. There's an additional living area in the garage that was a nice spot and the second refrigerator in the garage was great to have. The only downside is the Destin beach regulations that only allow people to set up in the insanely crowded and small public section of the beach or at the water line in front of private beaches. The walk from the house to the public beach was quick and easy though.

Beautiful home and perfect location

We loved staying in this property. The home was beautiful and contemporary. There was plenty of room for 8 of us and the entertainment room in the garage was an unexpected bonus. The walk to the beach was perfect. We wished the pool was bigger, but the kids really enjoyed it.
