We enjoyed our stay. The house is spacious and flows great. Dock was great to have and it was nice to have the options with the paddle board and kayake. The pool is also another great option. We were there in March so cooler weather. A hot tub would have been nice but pool is heated so that worked. The owners are very good about getting back quickly to any questions or concerns. All in all it is a great place and would definitely book again!

Extended Family Fall break vacation

House was excellent for multi generation family vacation. Easy to entertain everyone with plenty of space and nice kitchen and fun pool. Kayaks and dock were great for fishing and enjoying the bay. We had a wonderful family fall vacation as house was great and quiet, safe location made it super easy to get to everything (beaches, shopping, restaurants, etc) we wanted to do.

Breathtaking Bay

The home is beautiful and the pool and deck are relaxing, but the dock on the bay was our favorite part. We saw dolphins two different days, and birds and jumping fish every day. We watched the sunrise on the bench every morning. The kids loved the kayak and paddle board. The Gulf is a few miles away, with multiple beaches to choose from. My husband and I even walked from the neighborhood to the beach since we love to walk and explore . The pictures do not show the true magic of this lovely place. We would recommend this home to anyone. We also want to thank the manager, Bruce, for taking care of us and treating us like family. We had originally planned to stay in Anna Maria Island, but the folks we booked with canceled due to the two hurricanes. We scheduled this place with Bruce the day before we arrived! Everything went smoothly, and we were so pleasantly surprised by how wonderful everything was.

Relaxing on the Bay

Belle Haven is a nice vbro that sits between Destin and Miramar Beach. Centrally located to shopping, beaches and restaurants. The house itself very spacious and clutter free. Plenty of beach towels, cabinet space, typical VBRO kitchen utensils. All bedding linens and towels were soft and many throw blankets available. Only suggestions: have a few fishing poles; pool floats/noodles for amazing pool(1/2 pool only gets sun 1/2 of day,) needs couch or comfy chairs by pool, we used two camping chairs we had friend bring over. Need remotes for all televisions, directions how to use television, should offer local cable for fee. Would rent house again hand down!

Party of 12

The house was beautiful with new furnishings. While it was not located on the beach, it was located on the water with a private dock and a decent sized yard. Unfortunately, we were unable to use the pool as the heater wasn’t working and the required part was back-ordered. Other than that, we had a great time and would recommend this property if you are not 100% wed to staying right on the beach.
