Perfect Beachfront Getaway!

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful beachfront home! The location was absolutely perfect—just steps from the beach and the lagoon.The house itself was ideal for our group of eight. There were plenty of beds and bathrooms, so everyone had their own space and felt completely comfortable. One of the highlights for us was the kitchen—it was fully outfitted with everything we needed to cook and enjoy meals together. You can tell the owners really thought of everything.The decor was elegant and minimalist, creating a calm, relaxing atmosphere without any clutter. It felt like a true retreat. The hosts were incredibly responsive and informative, making check-in easy and keeping aware of anything pertinent that happened during our stay.We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality beach vacation with all the comforts of home!

Spring Break with the Family

Perfect place for our group of 10 with 4 kids under 10 plus 6 adults. It is right on the Gulf. Definitely hit our favorite restaurants (Red Bar and Hurricane Oyster Bar) that were an easy walk away. Rented chairs from beach chairs 4U. Did a dolphin tour in Destin. Great time in a nice home. Comfy beds.

Perfect location and beautiful beach

Great location and beautiful views. Well appointed kitchen, clean house and great communication with property management. The beach has been privatized so we did struggle a little with beach services, there is an exclusive chair company (that did a great job) but had to figure out SUP boards and kayaks differently than we have in the past.

Literally on the beach

Great location, close to all our favorite restaurants, clean well stocked appliances and kitchen supplies. Bathrooms were big and spacious. Beautifully decorated. Only criticism would be lower level bedroom was basically a cot looking bed and super small with shared lower level bathroom for guest. Upper bedroom’s were superb with beautiful views. We were very comfortable with 4 couples and if the other couple had come one would be disappointed with sleeping arrangements. Definitely would recommend and book again.

Week with the family

This was a fantastic place. We rented both East and west sides of the house the whole house we enjoyed ourselves immensely, and Rebecca with the Properties management company was one of the best girls we had ever dealt with. We want to thank them and also want to thank all the restaurants for feeding us so well such great seafood we had a great week.

We stayed in both sides of the duplex for a college girls trip reunion and couldn't have enjoyed the location or homes more. The beach is very wide and private and the home is well equipped and beautifully decorated. We loved the location near Grayton Beach.

Just what we’d hoped for

Our priority was the view and access to the beach, and common area that would accomodate 12 people at one time. This house has an unobstructed expansive view of the beach and ocean - from the living room, kitchen, dining room, and 2 MBRs, and both balconies. The living room and dining table comfortably seated our party of 12 (we borrowed 2 chairs from next door) with the main floor balcony providing an extension of the LR area and the upstairs balcony (accessed by both MBRs) providing private space to read and nap. It’s on an uncrowded stretch of the beach and only one neighboring house is visible so it feels really private. We had my 83 year old Dad with us so it was nice that there was a queen bedroom & bath on the main floor (other 4 bedrooms/baths are upstairs). It looks like the unit next door is a mirror image of this one and we are already talking about renting both sides next summer so more of our family can join us! Also, the rental agency was very friendly and helpful with several questions we had during our stay.

My Vacation Was Ruined by Pet Hair.

My great-grandson suffers with allergies. The family room rug was covered with pet hair. We suffered with him for the entire stay. We are not pet owners therefore, the pet hair was there when we got there. I was upset. We all got covered in the hair.

Shabby, dated unit

Location was great! House lacked a great deal. No disposal, only 7 forks for house that sleeps 15, no liquid measuring cups, no food storage containers, no corkscrew. Chipped paint everywhere. Patio chairs so rusted that one was unusable. Duct tape on table top to repair cracked tile. One bedroom door so stuck it could hardly be opened, bathroom cabinet door off hinges. Rugs with no pads underneath making them very dangerous. Missing door shelves in refrigerator. No walk-in shower in any of the bathrooms. The location is so great that if the owner would just spend a little money to update, I would give it stars. As it is he’s lucky to get 2!

Great location, home is worn and needs repairs

The location of this house is fabulous, right on the beach and adjacent to a protected area for wildlife. The area is lovely and uncrowded, at least in mid-October. Be aware that the photo shows the full house, but you are renting half of a large duplex. The house itself met our family's needs but was nothing fancy and suffered a bit from needing some repairs and replacing worn furnishings. We were visiting at the end of the summer season, so that could be some of the reason the house and some furniture showed wear and the walls were scuffed, but the rusted, failing doorknobs on the exterior rear doors have probably been that way awhile. The mattresses are very comfortable in all rooms, as noted by our party, the kitchen was amply stocked with dishes, glassware, cookware and utensils, and the house was clean on arrival. If you plan on bringing an infant or toddler with you, be aware of some issues: there is not a baby crib available (bring your own), and there are missing slats under the deck handrail leaving a hole that a small child could fall through. Here are some things that we noted that need attention: TV remotes did not work for several TVs. Deck flooring was nailed (not screwed) down and nailheads were backing out causing a fall hazard, don't walk barefoot. Deck slats were missing under the handrail leaving large enough gaps that a toddler could fall through. Air vents were clogged with dust, and we had to change the air handler filter ourselves. Carpet on stairs and area rugs are worn and shabby, rugs are loose and curling around the edges.. The overhead fans do not work properly in some bedrooms, with only the "high" and "off" settings working. No night tables or lamps in three of the bedrooms (the downstairs queen, the bunkbed room, or the double queen room). There are two bicycles, but they are rusty and unrideable. There is a growing pile of abandoned chair frames, discarded toys and a rusty firepit at the base of the property stairs that needs to be removed. Broken toilet seat in king bedroom. Broken tile on deck dining table. These details may not be dealbreakers for some, and no one will be disappointed with the beach right outside the back door, but the condition of the house and some furnishings detract from its potential as a great destination.

Another good experience with this listing (with one complaint)

We love this property and have stayed here a number of times over the years. In our opinion, the houses right on the beach in the Gulf Trace neighborhood are the best in the area in terms of having beach-front access without the overcrowding associated with Seaside, Rosemary Beach, etc. We had a great stay here again this year, but have one complaint. The upstairs A/C unit went out mid-week, and although the management company was very responsive, it took the better part of 3 days to get the issue resolved and we all had to sleep in pretty uncomfortable conditions at night.

Great location- needs updating

The actual location of the beach house is fabulous! However, there are some areas of improvement needed on and around the house. (holes in wall, upstairs AC, splinters in the deck, front door lock needs to be replaced, etc). Overall, I would love to come back, if these renovations were completed. Side note: Unfortunately, we had to deal with the Red Tide while we were there. Although I understand Mother Nature is out of our control, maybe the owner should be more up front if this is something going on at the time- so the visitors can be better prepared. I hope this helps! Thank you!
