The furnishings are sub par. The kitchen is poorly equipped. While it might be OK for a very short stay, not for a longer stay. The furniture is old and painted. The couches need replacing, worn cushions and very low to the ground. Even the beach furniture needs to be replaced, I’ve owned STR’s for well over 14 years and I would never let my patrons experience this.Location was fine but comfort neglected.

We've been visiting Destin for over 20 years, and I can honestly say this has been one of the best experiences we've had, especially as pet owners! Stephanie, the host, was absolutely amazing. From the moment we booked, she was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Her attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the property, from the spotless cleanliness to the thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home.The front porch was the perfect spot for sipping coffee in the mornings and enjoying relaxed chats in the afternoons. It was such a peaceful way to start and end the day. The location couldn’t have been more perfect, just a short walk to the beach! And for anyone traveling with pets, the walking areas around the property were ideal, safe, spacious, and perfect for our daily strolls.Stephanie truly made this stay feel special, and we can’t thank her enough for providing such a wonderful experience. If you're looking for a pet-friendly rental that offers comfort, cleanliness, and a host who truly cares, this is the place. We can't wait to return!

Perfect family getaway

Stephanie was an amazing host, extremely communicative and very accommodating. Property exactly as listed; spacious, beachy, well maintained. Loved the layout (open floor plan with large central common area and all 3 bedrooms separated - and location - close to everything. Well-stocked kitchen and bathroom. We really appreciated having lots of linens and plenty of dishes and utensils. Bring your own beach towels, but other than that had everything we needed. Perfect place for our family of 6 (all adults) to spend Christmas together.

Perfect holiday

We picked Destin as our destination to enable us to visit with our college daughter for thanksgiving. The home perfectly accommodated us and our two daughters-everyone had their own space. The short 5 minute walk to the beach was convenient plus to have the wagon and chairs provided as a nice bonus. Super close to shopping and Whole Foods made thanksgiving dinner easy. And the host Stephanie was very responsive and answered our many questions patiently. She even sent a package that was delivered after our stay. We hope to come again!

Perfect Beach Weekend

We were in town for a college friend's wedding and a group of us decided to stay an extra couple days after finding this beautiful property. Easy walk to the beach, restaurants like Camille's, and Destin Commons. The beach shower outside was a godsend. We spent hours on the porch swing and screened in porch catching up with dinner we cooked in the kitchen. I cannot recommend this home enough!
