Good time

I have to admit after reading reviews, i was concerned about the cleanliness of this house, i found no such issues …. My recommendations: bring bath towels for the pool, a towel or 2 was in the bathrooms, but not enough Same with kitchen towels, bring some, only a couple provided Bring some folding chairs, a couple of poolside chairs are there, just not enough We had an issue first night with the back room above the garage being to warm, but once we figured out the thermostat is in the master suite( behind a lamp) no further issues Overall we had a great stay( 11 of us) if the house isnt sold we will come back next year, we love the area

Bay Villa

This property was perfect fit for our family of eleven. It was very well set up to where everyone had plenty of room. The boat dock was a great plus for our boat and jet skis. We were right on the sound so we saw a lot of wildlife from our yard also. Overall, our family loved it and would definitely stay there again!

Calming and Relaxing

We loved the water view. It was so quiet that it made relaxing easy. My husband and I are retired, but our adult children work so hard in the medical field, teaching field and the cabinet making business and finishing carpentry and they were able to totally relax on this trip and never wanted to leave. We fished and cooked and enjoyed just being together. We definitely want to come back. I would like to give a shoutout to Jose who came and fixed a problem, was very kind and patient and even took our garbage cans to be picked up. He’s a keeper. Thank you! We would like to stay there next year, if possible.

Needs work!

Positives: the space was great! Plenty of room-every family had their own room/space. The views are stunning. Negatives: the hot water heater for the right side of the house didn’t work. We had to call the property manager several times before we were in touch with someone. We left a voicemail and sent an e mail and didn’t get a response. We called several times and finally got a person who told us to light the pilot light. We had to find the hot water heater. We re-lit the pilot light but it wouldn’t stay lit. The pool vacuum didn’t work, the pool didn’t filter correctly and the pool surface started to collect a film and the water started to get cloudy. The ladder into the bay was broken and covered in barnacles so we couldn’t get into the bay. The ladder in the boat house was also broken and covered in barnacles. The grass was high and in need of maintenance. There was no instruction on where the A/C control was. One was behind a lamp in the upstairs bedroom. There is an Alexa in the kitchen with a camera. We turned the camera off since we dressed young children in the den/kitchen area. I understand the property is on the market, but as long as it’s being offered as a vacation rental it should still be maintained as such. Overall rating is 3 stars for the room. But there are many issues. The property managers need to respond more promptly.

Our family trip

It was a beautiful home, and a nice quiet area. This is our family trip we take somewhere every year. This was our first time there to that area. We have 14 in our party. House was very nice but could have used a good cleaning. Towels were to be provided but we only had 8 for 14 people. We had to go to the store to buy more. In the original picture and amenities it said it had a hot tub and was in the picture. It did not have a hot tub. The pool is covered which was nice no bugs. We had a problem with the oven when we arrived that the owner addressed very quickly, he said he would have to order the complete panel to repair but that left us without an oven. Made cooking for 14 people hard just using a toaster oven. Several doors had trouble opening closing. Possible due to climate. Several bar chairs were in need of repair. Overall we loved to location and the house. Just wish we could have not had to experience they problems.

Awesome fishing and real luxury

Just a perfect location for people like water views, nature and luxury houses. You can fish from three sides of this house and we caught fish on all three. Rod holders buried along the bulk heads was such a nice surprise. The house was more than we needed but we enjoyed dealing with that. Can't wait to come back!

This property is phenomenal. The house is the most beautiful home I have ever been in, each room with its own water view, and several with balconies. The walk-in showers in the master suites are glorious. It was perfect for our family reunion and wedding. The old oaks, the large lawn, the pool, the fire pit, all perfect for our outdoor event.

This house has everything and then some!

The house and property were absolutely stunning. Each room was spacious and with it’s own bathroom. The pool was nice to have for the kiddos, fishing was great, and dolphins came to visit daily. The property management team has great communication and responded well and in a timely manner about an issue we encountered during our stay. However, this same team needs to look this property over better. My only complaint would be the cleanliness of the home. The pool had the vacuum in it but not running, the house flooring was definitely not cleaned prior to our arrival, the dining table ledge was pretty gross, and the flat surfaces had not been wiped prior to arrival either. With such a high price tag on the cleaning fee, these are things I would expect to be cleaned, bare min.

Beautiful & Peaceful Location

Great property, lots of room for everyone, comfy beds, clean, you really can't beat this house for this area. Peace and quiet if you want or go into town for activities. The views are incredible and the breeze coming in from the water keeps you comfortable. The only suggestions would be more seating in the pool area to accommodate the number of people the house can hold and more towels for the kitchen and bathrooms. We seemed to be short a few forks and could have used instructions for operating the TVs. None of these things would keep me from renting this place again, it's a really GREAT property.

Family vacation

This was an awesome property. Having the pool and intercostal and boat dock was great. Lot of room for all 14 of us. It does need some updating with ceiling fans and more outdoor seating. The outdoor kitchen area needs cleaning and updating. It needs a good deep cleaning with fan blades and under beds. We did have an issue with one of the air conditioner units but owner brought out portable unit till they could get someone out to look at it. Overall it was a great place we would stay again. Good location to go to destin during the day.
