Quiet neighborhood, super short walk to the beach.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay, walk to the beach was super short and convenient. We rented a golf cart for a couple of days so we could go to nearby shops and restaurants, all within walking distance as well. The house was stocked with everything we needed to cook dinners as well as beach accessories in the garage. The house was very clean, we will definitely stay here in the future.

Perfect Location and Comfortable space

We enjoyed our stay here. The king size beds were really comfortable, which is key when traveling for us. Our daughter loved the bunk bed room and all the books and sand toys available. They even had a wagon you could pull to the beach, which was a short 5-7 minute walk away from the house. There was a Whole Foods down the street and close to plenty of restaurants and shopping. We would definitely stay here again.

Pretty Good

Overall, good. HAD to buy insurance, which I didn’t feel was necessary. And something about clearly paying a cleaning fee and then being told how to clean before you leave, irks me. Conveniently located to attractions yet in a very quiet neighborhood. Pool about 2 blocks from house.

Very fair Host

We enjoyed our stay it was a neat house close to the beach. Most of all I was very grateful for how our host handled a plumbing issue that was beyond their control. They were very communicative, helpful and accommodating in the midst of a mildly challenging issue (mainly because it took specialized plumbing equipment to resolve so it couldn’t be resolved immediately). I felt like our host did all one could reasonably expect to serve us amidst this issue (and I don’t think it’s an issue any future renters would need to worry about). If you are looking for a great host and a neat little house close to the beach, this is your place!

Late Summer Getaway

My wife and I stayed at this house last year during the exact same time of the year. Except last year it rained every day but one. Even though it rained, we still enjoyed our stay and swore we would never go back the ysame time next year. Well guess what, we did go the same time one year later and there was no rain, full sun and everything was great. The house is wonderful, the beds are comfortable and my grandson loved the bunk bed.

Great family getaway

House and location were great! The house was clean, had everything we needed and plenty of space for our family. Our daughter especially loved the bunk bed room, it made her feel at home. The neighborhood and pool are wonderful, close to everything but away from the business. It was so nice being able to borrow the beach wagon, buggy boards and sand toys! If you plan on cooking, make sure to bring Tupperware or something to store your leftovers, that was the only thing that was missing for us.

Perfect House For a Girls Trip

Quaint, charming house located less than a five minute walk from Destin beach. The check-in process was quick and the house was very clean when we arrived. The neighborhood was also quiet and the pool was nice to go to when the beach was too crowded. Overall this house worked out perfectly for our party of 6 and we’re already looking forward to our next trip to Destin.

This place was a perfect get away place. Close to the beach, pool in the neighborhood, nice front porch to rock and enjoy the outside. The place was nicely appointed, just needed to some Beach Towels and Chairs, or mention in the description that those items were not included. I definitely will try and come back and stay at this place again.

Great Stay!

This property is great! Very short 5 minute walk to the beach. 2 minute walk to the pool. Short drive to any Destin entertainment. The house was clean and beds in two big bed rooms were very comfortable for the most part. Kids said top bunk of bunk beds was pretty uncomfortable. That was really the only complaint. Would recommend this property to any one headed to Destin.

Destin Review

The house was well equipped and well stocked with most necessary items. The garage contained a lot of beach items, like umbrellas, skim boards, and toys, which made it convenient for the toddler in our family. The owner was attentive to our needs and easily reached. Beach access was a 5-7 minute walk, however no ramp or showers at the nearest beach. Another beach with these facilities was a further 5 mintes away.

Best location in Destin!

Quiet neighborhood, public beach access (5 minute walk great for small children), across from Destin Commons, and easy to get on the highway and head to dinner! The house was great we loved the garage access for our beach items (wagon & toys), the front porch was great for morning coffee! Our kids enjoyed the ice cream truck in the afternoon!
