Great vacation

We normally only go to Destin in the summer but fall break is our new favorite time. The house was very nice and the location was good. At first we thought it was a little too far from the beach, but we found a little short cut and it was a nice walk. My husband drove to the beach and met us with our beach gear. The beach access was great and right next to the Crab Trap so the girls could get drinks and food. Lou was great, and very responsive. The house was a little short on cookware, probably because it was the end of the season. I told him I was going to buy a brownie pan and he said to keep the receipt and he would reimburse me. I thought that was really great. The pool was nice, but I wish it had a snack bar with snacks and drinks. Otherwise it was a relaxing break from the beach. Overall, it was a great vacation and I would definitely stay there again!

As advertised

Property is minutes from the beach. Even with little ones the walk wasnt bad and its better than looking for parking or worse paying for it. The community amenities were easily accessible and quick walk or cart ride. The house has plenty of space and master bath....wow!!! A week was not long enough. Great place and location.

Hot water shower

We had some problem with the hot water. Sometimes the shower would stay cold for over 15 minutes when there is hot water at the faucet. This occurred at the kitchen sink, the master bath shower, and the small guest bathroom shower. We notified the property manager.

Family Fun

The house is beautiful and very well equiped. Our family of 10 made several meals without an issue. We also used the gas grill on the patio and had a great meal. The best part was how responsive Luo, the property manager, was. He came over to make sure everything was as we expected and responded within an hour if anything needed to be fixed. We had a great time.

BOOK IT!!

I cannot say enough great things about this stay. Absolutely everything was wonderful! The home is located in a gated community, which itself is a view. Great access to the beach, scenic walks, and the silence at night (chef's kiss). This truly was our home away from home for a weekend. My daughter loved her "home." Our host was attentive, responsive, and overall the best. My grandparents, mother, and spouse all enjoyed Kenley's Cottage. It was worth every penny and more.

Quick walk to the beach

Good location and access to the beach. Nice pickleball courts and pool in gated community. Unfortunately, not enjoyable to sit on back porch as the view is a tiny yard with dead grass and a massive recent remodel next door. Old food and trash found under couches in living room. Small living room and not a great hang out space for larger group of adults/teens. Property owner was responsive when contacted. Best feature is access to the beach and nearby restaurants.

The PERFECT Beach House

Our stay was AMAZING! We could not say enough good things about this house and the property manager! SUPER nice and helpful! The house is in the perfect location! A simple 3 minute ride to the beach that really only feels like 1 minute! Within 10 minutes, you have left the house and you are set up in a perfect spot on the beach! The house is also in the middle of Destin commons and silver sands outlets! The pool and playground at the clubhouse are amazing as well! All in all, 10 out of 10!

Beauty and Serene!

We needed a getaway before the holidays so some friends and I planned an impromptu workcation. There was enough space that we were all able to work efficiently. The neighborhood is stunning and warranted us to enjoy the beauty and take daily strolls. The pictures don’t do this place justice! While it is a luxury stay, it also gives a very comfortable and home feel. The decor is beautiful. It is well equipped with cooking utensils and dishes. We had no issues. The checkin was an easy process. The owners left a detailed book of requirements and area suggestions. The property is very close to everything you need to include the beach. (That’s why we go to FL right?) 😀 I love the guestbook idea. We’d definitely come back! You can run/walk the neighborhood, go to the fitness center or just have tea on the patio. Thank you Lou for opening your property for vacationers!
