Family vacation
David and Keri were great hosts, very responsive to questions and super helpful all around. House had everything we needed and more. Thoughtful extras were in place that we did not expect and made our week much more enjoyable. House is a short walk to the beach and easy drive to all of Destinās attractions. Check out the Crab Trap for a beach beverage and Camilleās for a good coffee and pastry. All around great stay!

Absolutely Perfect!!
We stayed here last week with our three children and this house was beyond perfection! It was so clean, I'm a bit of a clean freak and am always over analyzing places we stay, this house had not one single flaw.
It was fully stocked with everything you could need for a perfect stay. There was plenty of towels and even included shampoo, conditioner and body wash amongst anything else you could need.
The beach closet had absolutely every single thing you could possibly want or need for your beach trips, we were in awe when we opened the door. The couches were super comfortable and there were even throw blankets for snuggling up, we really appreciated that!
We contacted the owners a few times during our stay for recommendations and a couple of questions about using a golf cart in the area and they were extremely responsive and timely. I never felt the slightest sense of annoyance.
Overall it was a wonderful stay and we will definitely be returning to this property!
I cannot recommend it enough!

Amazing Experience!!
I can not recommend this house enough. We absolutely plan on returning! Our stay was fabulous! Keri & David have a digital guidebook that is filled with so much helpful information that made our stay run smoothly. They are super responsive to any question I had leading up to our trip and even during it. We traveled with another family, 6 kids and 4 adults in June of 2022 (ages ranging from 10-5)The set up of 3 king beds was absolutely perfect for our group. The closest in the rooms were huge so there was plenty of room to store your suitcases. They have a washer and dryer- which like everything else is new! The beds were comfortable, pillows fluffy, sheets and beach towels and bath towels were great, kitchen fully stocked and they even have a closet with beach chairs, an umbrella, beach toys, boogie boards- everything you need to make your beach day perfect! The house is cutely decorated and rooms themed!
We almost rented a golf cart but are so thankful we did not! We used the free shuttle that the neighborhood provides to take us to the beach. You call a number to request one and it is at your door in less than 3 minutes. The drivers are super helpful and assists you in loading and unloading your chairs, umbrella etc. The shuttle will even pick you up from the beach to take you back to your house. Less than 3 minute wait again! The pool in the neighborhood is great! Itās resort style and has zero entry all the way to 6 feet. Plenty of space for families to spread out. Hands down the best Destin experience I have had- highly recommend āItās a Vibeā
