Destin is a repeat location for me and my family. I felt the beachfront location was central to everything. The layout of the home was great; the extra kitchen downstairs made it so much easier to get beverages. The views from each level are beautiful, and the covered area was wonderful for eating outside. My only suggestion is to provide better access information. The VRBO instructions didn't match the information from the owner, so our check-in was a bit bumpy. Also, not sure why so many signs are about the air conditioning, temperature settings, and leaving doors open. Wasn't an issue for us as I keep mine at home within those settings but could see how it would be an issue for those who sleep in cooler temps.

Beautiful home in the PERFECT location! Couldn't ask for anything more for a beach vacation. The house was so well organized and stocked with everything you need to cook for your family. The 3 decks are awesome with sturdy beautiful furniture to enjoy the days and nights directly on the beach!! We had 3 generations staying there and a baby gender reveal photo session. The guys fished in the evenings and we swam every day! Couldn't ask for a better family vacation. Thank you Kimberly for sharing your home with us to make forever memories

Amazing place and host
Very impressed with our stay. Communication with host was phenomenal and that started even prior to booking. The location was ideal and having the private beach area was so convenient for a busy place. We loved the kitchen having plenty of cookware since we cooked a lot at the house. The house was very clean and perfect like photos. We would stay here again.

Spacious, beautiful accomadations and beach! Plenty of room for 9 people, very clean and well-stocked with everything you need. A lot of road traffic in the area but that's to be expected. As a family group with an annual "reunion" we've been all over, from the Bahamas, to Cabo,to Maui, etc. This was the best place of all and I would highly recommend it.

Fantastic Location
The property was 13 steps away from the sand. Outside shower made clean up each evening a breeze. The beach level has a Queen/ twin bunk in a bed room a Queen bed in a bedroom and 1 bathroom in the hall. There is also a kitchen and a washer dryer on that level. The mid section has a kitchen, dining room and tv with two couches. Large area for family mealtimes. It also has a hall bathroom and a full mattress nook. Prefect for children.The third level has two King bedrooms with bathrooms AND a hall bathroom. The townhome is well insulated so each level is quiet. We throughly enjoyed our stay.

Private beach spot!!
This is the second time my family has stayed at this property. We absolutely love that we step off the deck to a private beach spot. We can come and go from the beach to the house very easily and as frequently as needed throughout the day. My 70 year old parents enjoyed the patios with high chairs and umbrellas to sit out of sun and enjoy watching the beach. Also makes it very convienient that Kenny Ds is right across the street. No driving necessary to get seafood every night. Its alot of money but has provided my family with great memories.
