Amazing Vacation Home
We have been vacationing at least once a year in Destin since 1998. This is the BEST home we have stayed in. The common areas are spacious and plenty. The house is excellently maintained. The beds and pillow are very comfortable. The pool and outdoor area is crazy good! The kitchen could use a few more items if your family is large and cooks all meals. Definitely, we will rent again!

Unsatisfied stay
I rented this property for a family members birthday. We had a house full. A lot of the people staying were 60+, which is why we rented this property due to the elevator. Upon arriving to the property, we didn’t have our access information, which was fine we called and they gave us the information. We were told it would automatically populate which it didn’t. Once we got in, I realized you had to pay to heat the hot tub and pool. So I paid. It took 2 days for it to heat up. I work from my computer and when I tried to access the wifi, it didn’t work. The management group sent their tech out and it fixed it but it only worked on second level. THE THIRD FLOOR NEVER GOT WIFI. THE CABLE DIDN’T WORK EITHER. None of the TVs would play any tv. It would work sporadically but that was it. It was crucial for us to have television as we had children who wanted to. The 1st full day we were there the elevator breaks and they were unable to fix it. So the main reason we rented the property stopped working and couldn’t be fixed and never got fixed while we were there. There was an alive roach in one of the master bedrooms (the one with bunks built in). I have pictures of it. The tires were flat on the bikes that were offered. The SONOS sound system isn’t there. I don’t know why the listing says so but it’s not. You cannot work the surround sound at all. I probably called the management company over 50 times. Not worth the money I spent for the uncleanliness, inoperable elevator, horrible wifi, horrible cable, and overall experience was just not enjoyable because there was a problem with ALL OF THE AMENITIES that were offered. I could’ve stayed in a basic motel for that. Climbing stairs with elders and no wifi. Do not recommend at all.

Great location and house. Loved the heated pool and hot tub (once we learned how the heat worked). Only irritation was the pool alarm went off every time you opened the door to go inside. Very family friendly with lots to do.

Beautiful house
We loved the location, the house perfect size for a our family 16. The house floors we filthy, if we walked around in our bare feet. The bottom of our feet would be black. We killed a cockroach in the kitchen and there were ants on the counter and in pantry cabinet. There is blue tape holding the tile floor in place.

Great house that’s been run down and not maintained.
While the house is very large and appointed well, lack of maintenance and likely rough renters leave many items broken with a maintenance crew that makes many visits to waste vacation time and repairs little to nothing.
Slider door needs to be replaced as it can’t close or lock. Outdoor sink handle is broken. Ice maker doesn’t make ice, nor does indoor. Outdoor tv doesn’t get any channels, so useless. Kitchen refrigerator makes awful noise and leaks water across the floor. Based on rotted trim work near the fridge, seems to be a long standing problem. These are just a few of the many broken items in the house. Owners and renters should be ashamed to charge the rates they do for this house which is in poor repair.

Great vacation
We visited Destin with 5 other families and we stayed in this house. This was our second trip to Destin and this house was wonderful. The house provides plenty of space to accommodate a group of 30. The weather was sorta windy a few days so it was very nice to have the amazing heated pool at the house. Its convenient to the beach, restaurants and shopping. On my next trip to Destin I will stay at this house again. 5 star properties was amazing to work with too.

Perfect House
Six families came together to enjoy spring break. We love to cook and share meals- kitchen and dining table accommodated all of us. The en-suite bedrooms were extremely comfortable for adults and the bunk rooms handled children perfectly. The pool and outdoor living spaces are amazing! There are four balconies which provided ample space for people to “get away” from our larger group. This house is well appointed and initial supplies sufficient to start the week were provided. House is close to beach, shopping, and several grocery stores
This house and the area helped make this vacation our best ever.

Incredible house that fit 25 people very comfortably!
We have a big group of friends and this house was perfect for us! It’s very convenient to get to the beach even though it’s not right on the beach. Every room is very comfortable and the living area is so spacious!! All 25 of us were extremely happy with the amenities that came with this house. Would highly recommend to anyone who has a big Group!!!

Poorly Managed Property
What a shame that this great house is so poorly managed. I'll just list a few of the issues...One bedroom and bathroom had no power for 3 days, there was sand in several of the beds, the main outside grill hasn't been cleaned for years and is unusable, the other gas grill had no propane, food in the disposal resulting in gnats all over the main floor, the sliding door to the pool is off its tracks, the handle to the other access door falls off, several lights weren't working, lock to spiral staircase wasn't functional(not good with small kids), downstairs dryer doesn't dry, counters required an additional cleaning, etc...Sound like a great vacation? We also had no one great us at the house and show us how to use the alarm and no key to the work out room/ community pool. We finally got a key at 3pm on Thursday of a Sat to Sat stay. Again...a great house, but way too many issues and slow response times!!!

Fabulous wedding weekend!
My family gathered here for our nieces' wedding and had a wonderful time! The home is amazing, so many spaces to gather and so many places to relax and enjoy alone time.
We were a group of 23 including 6 children, the bunkbed rooms were great for our family and the king bedrooms were such a bonus, no one felt shorted.
The pool, jacuzzi and outside area was a great place to entertain, it was clean and well appointed, no shortage of seating or lounge chairs. We enjoyed the outside grill and refrigerator after the wedding for appetizers and cocktails.
The kitchen could have used a few more pots and pans but that would be my only recommendation. It was truly a fabulous place, I hope to gather there again.

Great Family Celebration Home
We had a family gathering of 16 adults ranging from ages 25-85 for a week in this Destin area home and it was a perfect ! The house is spacious and has everything you need. Decor and art work is outstanding, and everything is high quality throughout the house. Loved the kitchen and dining area as it is spacious and can accommodate a large group. Appliances are top notch and appreciated the several coffeepots for the morning rush.Pool area and balconies are all equipped with high quality furnishings as are the bedrooms and many bathrooms. The owners are to be complimented on their exquisite taste !
The Five Star Bliss beach rentals was wonderful to work with...they are very professional and efficient ! Every question was answered immediately. This was my first time in the Destin area and I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a great vacation experience.

Best beach house EVER!
I've stayed in several beach houses and this one surpasses them all. It's huge. We had 25 adults and 2 children and there was plenty of room. The decor, the balconies (5 total) with amazing views, and the 2 minute walk to the beach...this house left nothing to be desired. You will never want to leave.

Great house for a family but things inside as far as cleaning and grill outside need to be fixed.
I would suggest that the property know if the pool heater was not working because we asked for it to be heated and the pool person came by and said because it was raining he couldn't get the heater to work and this was an excuse. The grill at the property needs to be replaced and was so dirty with grease The vents on the grill in the house and outside were very dirty and need to be cleaned.
This is a great house and a lot of great things but things needed to be fixed and weren't and I called for 1 thing or another and I felt that the service was slow when I called on things.
I was informed there was a heated hot tub but not the case because you have to heat the pool. When we try heating pool heater didn't work. I sent an e-mail 60 days ago about the problems and I'm stilling waiting on a response. I've called 8/10 to get a call back to see if anyone is every going to address the issues. Floors in the house were not as clean as they should of been for a house that was just cleaned.
