The property is located in a beautiful, gated community with a stunning and well-maintained beach. The house itself was spacious and comfortably accommodated our group of nine, and the location was excellent.While the home was nice overall, it was not fully cleaned upon our arrival, which was disappointing. Additionally, the listing indicated that a golf cart was included, but one was not provided. I contacted the property management company about the golf cart issue but unfortunately, I never received the follow-up call they promised.Despite these concerns, we still had a wonderful time, and the house ultimately worked well for our group. However, I was not impressed with the property management company.

Nice place overall

We really loved our stay. Like some of the reviews say, the house could really use some updating but the house is beautiful and well kept nonetheless. The top level floor smelled slightly humid though. I think they could prioritize some updates. Overall, really charming, perfect size to accommodate my family of 11 plus a family friend. The golf cart is really a plus. The pool was beautiful. Neighborhood is gorgeous. I rated the check in process on the lower scale because one of the guards had an off putting attitude and our gate codes didn’t work. They even gave us a few different ones to try but they didn’t work until the the next day. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay.

Great house! Great location!

Great house with excellent owner support. Great space, everything worked in an excellent gated neighborhood. Kitchen had everything for our party of 9. Communication with check in was great and super easy. Two easy suggestions.....make it clear the golf cart cannot leave the neighbor. Would have been nice to know. Second, get new smart TVs. Property has everything except for that. 600 gets you 3 smart tvs in all major rooms. Would defintely go back!

Fall Break at Absolute Delight

We stayed at Absolute Delight for Fall Break 2024. The property is located within the Destiny by the Sea gated community- which is the best location in Destin, in my opinion. There is a private beach which is so nice. The house itself is absolutely beautiful and has an elevator for those who may have trouble with stairs. We brought my 82 year old grandmother with us on this trip and she was able to operate the elevator with ease. We have three kids (13, 7, and 3) and the house accommodated all of our needs. The golf cart made it super simple to travel to and from the beach with toys, towels, chairs, and kids. The hosts have really thought of everything. We will definitely return to this property.
