Arrived to a Filthy & Unsanitary Home – Would Not RecommendOur stay at this property was unacceptable. Upon arrival, the house was filthy and clearly not prepared for guests. There were party decorations left behind from prior visitors, and drink and food stains and splatter covered the kitchen and dining walls. Both bathrooms had visible mold, mildew, and dirty rugs. There was also feces smeared on the bathroom door and light switch. The home smelled strongly of cigarette smoke despite being listed as non-smoking.The beds were unhygienic, with unwashed mattress covers, thin worn sheets, and stained pillows. Floorboards, doors, and baseboards were coated in grime, showing long-term neglect. When I contacted the property management company immediately after arrival, they only communicated by message and offered to send the same cleaning crew back, but the home was not in a condition suitable for my family. I had to clean it myself to make it livable and safe from unsanitary conditions.I documented everything with photos and videos. The management company offered only a partial refund of the cleaning fee, even though the property was clearly not cleaned before our stay. This was very disappointing, as the listing did not reflect the property’s true condition. For the comfort and wellbeing of future guests, I recommend looking elsewhere until these issues are properly resolved.
Feces on bathroom door. Biohazard!
Party decor still hung from previous guest. The cleaning company somehow missed these decorations.
Drink splatter all over kitchen and dining room walls. I have video showing the whole area.

The house and location were perfect! The house was very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed. It is about a 5 minute walk to a private beach that was not crowded. The provided beach chairs were perfect for the location and could be worn as a backpack with storage pockets for our things. Our kids loved the pool and the putting green. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful time staying here again this year. We loved the new landscaping in the yard and the addition of the new chairs by the pool. The only things we weren’t so excited about were the bedding and towels. They were the exact same ones as last year and are becoming a little worn. The house was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We appreciated the spices for sure! I would love to see the golf cart included with the rental. The price was too high for a cart that only has access to the neighborhood. Other than those small things, we love the house and will probably be back next year.

Amazing beach house!

We loved our stay at Old Florida Charm! The private beach and private pool were simply amazing. Our kids loved the put put area and the downstairs area by the pool was so nice to have, we ate many of our dinners outside. The outdoor shower was so nice to have after beach time. The private beach was amazing and never crowded. Took about 2 minutes to walk to the beach, was not far at all I honestly think its quicker than being in a busy condo waiting for an elevator to get downstairs. The neighborhood was so quiet and quaint and very close to shopping and restaurants. We felt very safe at this house. The property owners are top notch, never had rental management so in contact and friendly. 10/10 recommend.

Fantastic Home, Great Location!

We spent a week at this home over Spring Break and had a wonderful time. The house was wonderful! Very clean and comfortable. It was just a short walk to the private beach for the community. There were many restaurants and shops close by, while Destin is only a 20 minute drive away. Our favorite feature by far was the pool and hot tub! They were both phenomenal! Communicating with the host was a breeze. They were extremely responsive before, during, and after our stay. We highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a Florida panhandle vacation!

Annual Fall Beach Trip

Everything was as described in ads except the heat for the pool was not yet available. Very clean and free of clutter. It was nice to have a few extra things that most rentals do not provide, like extra trash bags, a condiment cabinet stocked with basic products. And lots of beach/pool toys and chairs to use.

Great Vacation

This is a beautiful home with a gorgeous pool with easy access to the private beach without having to cross a street to get there. The location is great because you are near shopping and restaurants, yet you feel miles away from it all once you pull into the small neighborhood. The front porch and the patio area under the house were a favorite of ours. Beautiful view of the ocean and the small park from the porch, and a beautiful view of the pool from the downstairs patio. The house is also beautifully decorated with lots of extra touches. Also, easy communication with Donna was excellent and appreciated. Thank you for a great stay!

Beautiful home, fantastic location. Private beach access was worth everything. Having our own pool was the cherry on top. First time visiting the area, usually go further south down the gulf, we will definitely be back. Followed several facebook groups to get an understanding of shopping, restaurants and things to do. Very helpful. Thank you for sharing your home.

Beautiful Property, had everything

The house is exactly as pictured. The beds & pillows were COMFY, plenty of space for everyone and all activities. The kitchen is one of the best vacay kitchens I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot!): spices, bowls, pans, utensils, etc were amazing. Plenty of towels (beach & bath), laundry space is great too. The private beach is SUPERB - large crowds everywhere except on this little patch of paradise. Pool wasn't quite ready to use for us but it looks wonderful. If you're on the fence about this property... GO FOR IT.

Graduation Vacation

We booked this vacation for my 18 y/o son’s high school graduation. We also incorporated my other son’s former graduation, since it was the midst of COVID 2020 when he graduated. Our party consisted of a few 18 y/o’s, 21 y/o’s and the two old fart parents, all who traveled from Las Vegas. We enjoyed sipping morning coffee and evening vino on the wrap around deck. The house was spacious and in a location that felt very safe. I think the teens left the front door unlocked accidentally a few nights. The beach is literally a few steps away, with beautiful white sand beaches. The private beach access was great, since we walked a quarter mile west and the beaches there were flooded with people. Our piece of paradise was not crowded and there was no issues sitting completely beachside. The only bummer was that the pool was not available for another few weeks, but we knew that when we booked it. The kitchen was stocked with plates, cups, utensils, gadgets and spices. It was only missing martini glasses. Our family had a great trip! The house was one of my favorite parts! It is only about 4 miles from the main Destin tourism.

First off you are dealing with Destins finest people if you choose this property!! Ryan, Meghan, and Miss Donna are phenomenal property owners and managers!!🙌👏👏♥️ Our vacation getaway with our entire family was an absolute amazing experience! We enjoyed every moment from the beach, to golf cart rides, to many “Alvin Andy’s” haha shopping trips! 😆 One day we had fun at the outlet mall as well! I don’t know about your family but we took about 925 pictures! Seriously😜 My husband LOVES to capture every moment! We enjoyed the lovely PRIVATE beaches that this property has to offer. Any questions or concerns I had Donna would text me immediately to address my questions. She truly is AWESOME!! The property was clean, comfortable and had the basic necessities to get us started. I can say with absolute confidence that I will ALWAYS book with Ryan and Meghan!! It’s so hard to find hard working people like ourselves who truly care about our needs. We had to switch properties at the last minute and they upgraded us at no additional costs!! Like seriously, who does that?! And Donna was just seriously incredible!💗 If you’re looking for a place to stay definitely stay with Ryan & Megan!! If you want that EXTRA attention or just need those couple of questions taken care of, RYAN & MEGHAN! MODERE~ Love you guys♥️ We will grab dinner next year 😄

The Owners thought of everything!

I know this review may seem long, but I want to be sure I leave my review as detailed as I can because I know the importance of a good review since I look to Reviews before I choose and book my vacation home. We just enjoyed a week at Old Florida Charm and the home was even better than described. From kitchen appliances, utensils, dishes and pots and pans, to comfy beds with fresh white linens, plenty of both bathroom and beach towels, to extra fans in every room, to beach chairs and boogie boards, and to a very short 2 minute walk out your front door to the beautiful white sand private beach, this home did NOT disappoint. This home made you feel “at home”. Additionally, I have to add what another reviewer mentioned, they even have a great kitchen knife set! which is not the case in many of the rentals I have previously stayed in. My two favorite things about this home were the cleanliness and the proximity to the beach. The host, Ryan, was great and reached out to confirm all was good from day 1. We will definitely be back and will recommend this home to friends and family when they plan a trip to Destin/Miramar Beach.

Words can't do it justice...

This place is beautiful. Exactly as described, if not better. It was very clean when we arrived. It has a well stocked kitchen with all the spices you could need (sans black pepper, which we left, so it's there now), and really nice appliances. Beds are comfortable, as is the living room furniture. House is spacious and well decorated. The living room had ample seating for our group of 5. The porch is amazing to hang out and enjoy the breeze almost any time of day. The grill is also very nice and easy to use. The outdoor shower is awesome for when you return from the beach. Having nice beach chairs provided was a bonus, and my son enjoyed the beach toys. The area is very private, and seemed very safe. We left our wagon and all our non-valuave beach stuff in the area under the house and never worried about it. The beach, even at the end of July was not crowded at all. The walk from the house was not bad at all. 2-3 minutes max. The host service was very friendly and checked in with me multiple times, even though we had no issues at all. I definitely hope we can return next year!
