The overall place was nice however, in general, the home was a little beat up. Most cabinet doors did not close properly, there were a couple screws on the decking that were raised and could cause damage to someone in bare feet, so we fixed them while on our stay. Overall, it was a nice place with excellent location to amenities, golf, beach, and food.

We absolutely loved Anchors Aweigh. The home was clean, deck was overlooking stocked pond, and the kids loved feeding the turtles from the deck. Private beach access was about a 2minute walk to water and beautiful. Gated community neighborhood was quiet and clean. Our family enjoys cooking together and the kitchen was great with a big island, we all had space to get meals ready! Short walk to shops and grocery store. I would highly recommend this property! We had the best time! Will definitely be back.

We had a great stay! Everything was clean and described perfectly. We had 3 families and everyone had a bed! We have stayed in this neighborhood for 5 years in a row and wouldn’t want to change a thing! A suggestion would be to add some hooks in the garage for beach chairs etc and possibly a garage fridge.

My family and I were pleased the vacation rental. It accommodated my immediate family and the location to church, shopping and restaurants was amazing. The initial property rental lead my family and I to believe the property walk out led directly to the beach. We would like one if those rentals for our Thanksgiving 2026 rental. The property we rented would be our option “B.” Great service!!!

10/10 Perfect Family Beach Vacation

This house was PERFECT for our family beach vacation. It is in a small gated community that is right on a private beach that is a 1 min walk through the neighborhood. House was clean and bright and had everything we need to make meals. Really enjoyed a dip in the small private pool after a day at the beach. Was fun to feed the turtles and fish off the deck every day too. 10/10 Highly Recommend!

The check-in process was very smooth, we didn't have any issues while staying here, and the location was phenomenal: we were able to walk to the grocery store across the street and walk to a restaurant down the street. The neighborhood is also welcoming and the private beach is a nice calm spot.

Destin Luxury Beach rentals

I worked with Nancy from Destin Luxury Beach rentals directly. She was amazing and the positive impact she had on our family vacation will not be forgotten. Excellent property all around. VRBO had nothing to do with anything on this trip other than taking reservation and then promptly not adding it to trip, which forced me to go thru company directly, thankfully got Nancy to work with. If I could leave VRBO zero stars I would, and Destin Luxury Beach rentals would get the review.
