Everything was good, except for the strong mold smell throughout the house, especially in the basement.This burned our eyes and noses pretty bad. It really needs checked out, most of our family was affected by it badley and had to end up leaving the windows opened, just to be able to breath decently.

Thanksgiving
We decided to stay on Holiday Isle for Thanksgiving this year and thoroughly enjoyed it. We had two families- total of 12- and had local friends join us for our Thanksgiving meal. We had plenty of room for eating, lounging and sleeping. We walked the neighborhood as well as the beach, swam in heated pool and played volleyball in backyard. The golf cart came in handy for quick trips to the beach and mini market! We would highly recommend this house to anyone staying in Destin!

Needs alot of work
Im a realtor so details in images are a big deal. False advertisement will get you sued. Im also a travel agent. This place is falling apart. I have pictures. Find me on social media. I almost went face down into the ground because the tiles on the back patio were loose all over. The pool was green the entire time. Hot tub was colder than the ocean water. There is a storage area full of trash. The garage just have trash piled up everywhere, from broken toys to christmas wrapping..Yard had random trash I had to pick up. Golf cart had broken tail light, windshild wiper was not working, there was a wire just hanging, im assuming it was the windhield wiper wire, passenger mirror just flopped around. Tags were not up to date.. Kayaks were torn up, sprinklers came on about 7pm every night so that ruined any outdoor activies in the grass area. Like volley ball or the kids playing any kind of outside games and sitting at the dock to fish. I had to put a bucket on one to keep it from spraying me. The ice maker made ice about a bucket per day. I have the same fridge and mine makes about 6 buckets a day. So be prepared to buy ice. But the back yard area was the worst part. Not being able to sit in a HIT tub that we paid for and the tiles are going to get these people a law suit. I asked the manager when the last time she was there and she said it had been a couple weeks. Do your job. I dont care if you have 60 properties, if you cant maintain them get a new job..I wouldnt allow them to

Labor Day Week Vaca
There were 8 of us total that stayed for the week of Labor Day. The house is beautiful and in the perfect location. Dock is wonderful, has plenty of space (we brought 2 larger boats and 2 jet skis). The one main issue we had (wifi not working) was handled quickly by the property manager. The only reason we did not give the House 5stars across the board is because we did have some minor cleanliness issues. I don’t believe the house had anyone stay in it for several weeks prior so there were some dead bugs and cobwebs in a few places, but the place is beautiful and we would definitely stay here again! board

Exceptional
We had the most wonderful stay this past week. The area was beautiful and the house everything we hoped it would be. There was more than ample room for our large group of 16 (10 adults and 6 grandkids ranging in age from 17yrs to 9 months) and the pool perfection for all ages! I would highly recommend this listing to anyone considering a trip to the Destin area. We saw dolphins in the morning from the dock, spent countless hours each day poolside and many meals either grilled or cooked in the spacious kitchen, along with gorgeous sunsets from the private access beach just minutes away either by foot or the included golf cart. Grocery shopping and numerous restaurants are located near by making this an even more perfect location. The only downside was leaving to return home. We will definitely be returning!

Amazing stay in Destin
Our family comes to Destin each Thanksgiving for a week together at the beach. We have stayed at a different house each year. This house is our favorite by far. The home is beautiful with lots of room to spread out and relax. The boys loved the bunk room and the heated pool and hot tub. We also loved being in the bay and fishing off the dock. Only a short walk to the beach to give us a gorgeous ocean experience. We enjoyed the house so much that we hardly ventured out to do other things in the community. Donna continually checked in on us to make sure that our stay was everything that we expected. We would love to come back here again in the future!

Awesome Property
We loved everything about this property. Easy beach access with golf cart, large pool and hot tub, and on the bay for easy fishing and kayaking. Our only regret is that we stayed so active we barely got to enjoy the fantastic home and layout that is great for families. This is the first place we will try to book for next year!

Beautiful Home
My family of 4 and another family of 4 rented this home together for a long weekend. We had a great time by driving the boat over from Panama City and was able to dock it directly behind the home and made a visit to crab island. The house was well equipped with everything you need and the home was very clean and tastefully decorated. This home had a lot of amenities such as the pool, large decks, fishing from the dock, golf cart and game room. I would highly recommend this home and we would definitely stay again.
