We loved our stay and would return. Would give the unit five stars however there were several pieces of living room furniture in poor condition and the overall cleanliness upon checkin was much less than desired. However, we enjoyed our time there and would return if visiting Destin again

Boyfriends birthday!!!!

Our stay was absolutely amazing!!! The house was wonderful with plenty of room for 7 people!!! The beach is at your back door!!! However, we were told we weren’t allowed to sit on the private beach and had to either go over to right a little or past the last umbrella on the left. That only happened the 1 time, otherwise we were fine. The location was perfect for restaurants and things to do!!! We would definitely stay here again!!! The neighbor on the right was awesome! She and her little dog daisy live there year round. She was very nice and accommodating to our noise lol!

Beautiful Sunsets and Great Location

This is my second time staying at this property. We love the house and the staff! The staff has always been really helpful and quick to respond. There is a little walk to the Jetties which is great for snorkeling and no waves for the kids. If you want waves and lots of shells just a 3min walk away. The best of both worlds.

Amazing views

The unit was very clean and well stocked. Views were amazing! Overall we were very happy with the unit. The only negatives were there was only parking for 1 vehicle and when we went down to the beach the Emerald Grand had their set up along the entire beach and we were rudely told we could not sit in or around their area and they directed us to the very end next to the rocks which was much further than we wanted to walk. This definitely needs to be noted in the unit summary!!!

Great spot overall

The stay was great for our size group. It has 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. Location is good. However the closest beach is in the inter coastal and is .35 miles to the actual ocean side. It's a bit of a walk in the sand. But worth it once there! Overall a great value for the price! Parking is the biggest issue. Can't really have more than 1 car. But we managed.

Living the Dream

This property was absolutely beautiful. The location was great and in a very quiet neighborhood. The layout was perfect for us, my elderly father was able to stay on the first floor with easy access to outside. The main level was great for entertaining and the grill was amazing! We enjoyed watching all the beach activity from the balconies but was also a short walk to the beach. The sand is like powder and the water was clear and blue! We loved everything and will be back!

Nice place bad parking.

We had 2 issues total, but still definitely worth the stay. 1) We had a couple relatively minor maintenance items upon check in, and after messaging the host through the VRBO app we received no response for over 3 days. I called VRBO and they gave me a phone number to call and the issues began being addressed. While on the phone, however, I explicitly told the property management customer service lady to make sure the maintenance person called before he came- as we frequently had teens home alone as well as dogs. She failed to pass that on to the tech so before I could get back, the tech was inside alone with the teens. I called property management back and in her notes she said to only enter if someone was home, as opposed to calling first. 2) Parking is a huge issue here. If you look at the photos, it looks like there’s room in the driveway for a second vehicle- there is not. This unit sleeps 8, but unless you drive a clown car, you’re going to have a problem. You’d need a vehicle that seats 8, but that vehicle wouldn’t fit in the garage. Their best suggestion was to park at target some miles away and shuttle folks back and forth. Overall a great stay, but a couple little annoying things here and there.

Twin Palms, Destin

Beautiful location with view of the gulf but a long walk to get to the beach. Numerous restaurants are worth the visit and can be visited by vehicle or water taxi. Condo is the middle location in this complex of 3 units. Nicely decorated and maintained. Condo sleeps eight however the kitchen table only has seating for 4 people which would is very inconvenient. Had to call the management company as the grill would not light, they fixed it and left a spare tank of propane. Parking is a huge drawback as there is room for only 1 vehicle, I was lucky enough to get our vehicle in the garage. The second week of our stay, we had new neighbors that rented the end unit, these folks were constantly on the deck talking business on their cell phones, working out and doing yogi, annoying, as we came to enjoy the view and relax. Too bad there is not some kind of privacy divider between the decks. Oh well, can’t pick your neighbors!

Parking nightmare

BEWARE! Parking is near-nonexistent at this rental, and that detail is not mentioned in the listing! There is only room to park ONE vehicle, and it’s a small garage that can only fit a car or small SUV. The rental says it can accommodate 10 people with its 3 bedrooms, but how does that translate to one car?? There are multiple signs around the area reminding you you’ll be towed if you park in the wrong place, too. When I called the management office to ask where there was more parking, the rep said “You could try the nearby Wal-Mart, or I’ve heard one of my coworkers tell people to park at a nearby church.” I ended up having to park my truck three miles away at Target for the week we were there. The townhouse itself is nice enough overall, and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, and the gas grill works well. Cleanliness could have been better in the bathrooms, as there were multiple hairs in our bathtub. Some of the AC vents sweat with presumed condensation on our last day there, and this made the bottom floor bedroom stink. The property is a bit back from the water, which you can see from the listing. Prepare for a walk and bring a wagon to haul your beach gear, *especially* if you want to go all the way to the Gulf itself rather than the beach immediately nearby within the jetty. Overall, would not book again.
