Great place to stay

This was our first trip to Destin, Fl and we hit the jackpot for staying there. We were only a couple minute walk from the beach, right off the 5 mile walk/bike path and walking distance to everything we needed plus a lot more. It was a quiet beautiful little neighborhood. Pool was great and met others who were staying in the other cottages that were loving the area too. Totally recommend this area to stay

Beach vacation

I brought my two daughters here on vacation this past week and it was amazing. Christina replied quickly and it was just as posted. The beach is right around the corner and the pool was right there and convenient. Also, food and shopping was only two minutes away! Such a great place to stay and everything was clean as well.
