Best vacation rental we’ve stayed at!

I would give this rental 10 stars if I could! The check-in process was super easy. All the exterior doors have code locks so you don’t have to worry about dealing with keys. The house was very clean and well organized. All the appliances, doors, and thermostat worked, which can be rare with short term rentals! The cherry on top was that the pool is heated!! We went in November and it was quite chilly outside. The pool was incredibly comfortable temperature wise. The beach access is super close and convenient with crosswalks and a boardwalk heading to the beach making getting there safe and enjoyable. The house was spacious and beautiful. The checkout process was a breeze. No long list of chores to complete. Just a short and simple procedure. If you’re looking for a quality, clean, cozy, spacious vacation space for a great price, this is your place!

Great Property

We stayed at this property for our annual fishing trip. We had never been to Destin before, so I did not have any frame of reference, but this property is in a great location! Steps from the beach, close to shopping and restaurants, and close to the harbor. The property was clean and comfortable, and the description was accurate; the pool was icing on the cake. Check in and check out were hassle free, the wifi worked and was secured. We hope to be able to come back.

Beautiful home! Great space for a large crowd! Property Manager (Owner) was amazing!

Spring break 2024! A short two block walk to the most amazing water and beaches in the world (and I am a beach snob) with super easy beach access. The home is beautiful and the carriage house is great for older kids, couples, or a small family to have some get away space. Pool is great too. Don’t hesitate on renting this property! Beds were great, kitchen had all the supplies and Ron was there at a flash if we needed him! Highly recommended!

Just what we needed

We were 15 of us in all, all ages, young to old. We had a fantastic time. We could walk to the beach in three minutes. Heated pool was great. We had plenty of room and the whole house was stocked like a dream. We had a great time and I definitely will stay here again. The spaces were clean, the beds were great. Everybody had a space. Thank you for a great space for a great family time.

We throughly enjoyed our week in Destin! The place was so comfortable for all of us! Besides the one incident with the pool, no complaints! I did think some maintenance needed to be done as far as front and back doors not closing properly and cabinet knobs being tight…. Especially being the price of the rental… overall experience was positive!!

Family Trip to Destin

We loved staying here for fall break as a family! We had a group of 21 people, and we were all comfortable in this house. We had plenty of beds and bathrooms for everyone. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. It was nice being a short walk away from the beach. The heated pool was nice to have, and there were plenty of toys to play with while in the pool. We had a few very minor issues while staying - the tvs weren’t working and the pool heater wasn’t heating properly. As soon as we reached out, Jordan had both issues looked at and taken care of quickly. He also messaged to remind us to set the garbage cans out for pick up, and that was a nice reminder! I can honestly say that this was one of our best experiences renting a house! Our host was wonderful, and the property was exactly as listed. I wouldn’t even say that this is a problem really, but the only thing that could have made our experience better would be to have curtains or something in the bedrooms. The apartments/condos next door are really bright at night. Like I said, it’s not even a true issue, but it was a struggle for our 15 month old while trying to sleep at night. This doesn’t change our wonderful experience at this house. Overall, we would all give it 5 stars! I can’t speak highly enough of our host. Can’t wait to visit again!

Wonderful home and service

We have been staying in VRBO homes for family vacations for about 20 years. This was a seamless stay from initial communication to departure! Price was below anything we could find and the home was clean and beautiful. It is just across the street from the beach! We always bring additional toiletries to avoid the expense when we arrive but we did not need ANY of them-each bath was staffed with liquid soap for the sink and a 4-roll pack of toilet paper, garbage bags for each bath and the kitchen, along with dish and DW soap. We only used our own paper plates and paper towels. May sound minor but gathering that stuff when you arrive can be a nuisance! We also had a couple issues with the air conditioning (probably operator error with the thermostat) and Ron was there immediately to fix/correct it. One call required HVAC but they were there within a couple hours. Don’t have a bad thing to say about this rental and hope to be back next year!
