Wonderful Experience

We could not have been happier with our stay. The home is beautiful and the location is perfect. We were steps away from the beach and shopping was just a short walk away. Tyler was very gracious and receptive throughout our stay. We had three families in there and there was plenty of room to spread out. The third floor mini-suite with balcony was a bonus. We plan to return next year.

Dreamy House in Destin

This property is so beautiful. Plenty of bedrooms and baths for large gatherings. The kitchen was stocked so well with everything you could possibly need for cooking, dining, and cocktails. What we enjoyed so much was the lovely pool and the many hours we spent everyday on the porches. We will be returning to this lovely beach house in the very near future.

We were struggling trying to find somewhere that could accommodate more than 2 cars, so this was perfect for us. The driveway easily fit all 5 of ours, and could have probably fit another 1-2. The house was beautiful and the pool was great! Loved how stocked the kitchen was, and the beds were super comfy. Would definitely recommend.

Girls trip for 50th birthday get together

As a group of seven women in our 50s, this vacation home was absolutely perfect for us! There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the location couldn’t have been better—just a short distance from the beach, restaurants, and shopping. The pool was fantastic, and paying a little extra to have it heated was totally worth it; it stayed nice and warm. The beds were very comfortable, the layout of the house was stunning, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

Ocean View

Excellent location!!! So close to beach and we also loved having a heated pool. Took about 36 hours for the pool to actually be warm enough -but paid for 4 days so that isn’t ideal. Bathrooms are a little dated and no closet in upstairs master to hang clothes in. These are tiny and not deal breakers! We loved the kitchen area and outdoor patio!!! We would definitely stay here again!

Awesome House with Short Walk to Beach

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay with 3 Master Suites for my wife and I and our two adult sons and their wives.Plenty of room for everyone including our 3 grand daughters age 8,11 and 12. The private pool was great to have around as the kids were in it constantly if we were not at the beach. The kitchen was large and modern which was great as we cooked most of our meals in the house. The large covered porches and balconies were used a lot especially in the evenings to sit around and have adult beverages and great conversations with our kids. We highly recommend this house as it was everything we needed for a family vacation.

Was not properly cleaned plus a number of other issues

The home obviously had not undergone a deep cleaning- dust- and dirt-covered ceiling fans, fixtures, crevices of the 1st-floor bathroom floor, etc. The cover to the receiving vent was open when we checked in, revealing a FILTHY filter which obviously had not been changed in months. The shower curtain in the first-floor primary bathroom was covered in soap scum, and bar soap from the previous guests covered in hair was left in the shower. The tub stopper was…gross. I refused to give my children a bath in that tub. The mattress cover on the king bed in the first-floor primary bedroom had some weird black stain. The old and worn mattress on the trundle bed was not covered, and the frame was caked in dust. The mattress in the queen-sized bed upstairs was also very dirty. The pull-out sofa bed in the loft was worn, broken, and uncomfortable. There was a broken door handle in one of the bathrooms. We did not find the remote to the tv in the bedroom with the queen bed until the day before we checked out when vent filter and door handle issue was finally addressed. The cleaning lady arrived at 9am on the last day (was rude) but we never said were leaving before the 10am checkout time given. This impeded our ability to get our stuff out. The lady said the owner told us the wrong checkout time and had done this before, and she “needed all the time before 4pm” to clean the home. How is that our problem? We even had to ask her to move her vehicle so guests could get out of the driveway.
