Wonderful stay in Niceville

This house has everything you need for a great vacation; the pool, jacuzzi and space is really special. The proximity to the Beach, Golf Courses and all the surrounding beauty is worth every penny. And our host was so awesome, she made our stay one we will never forget.

Florida Getaway!

Was a great stay! Loved the area and the closeness to the beach. The one thing we weren’t aware of (poor planning on our part) was the $4 (each way) toll to the beach, and cash only. So set aside cash for that.

We really enjoyed our visit, the house was very clean and the host was very nice. Having a screened in pool area was the best, not a single mosquito bite and the water was nice and warm. I would have loved to be able to use the hot tub in the evenings, but the water was cold despite all efforts. Very easy access to the island via the toll bridge just blocks away. I would absolutely recommend this property.

Family Vacation

We booked this vacation for our son's and thier families as a Christmas present so we can all make memories! The house was a perfect size for 6 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs. We loved the big family room and kitchen as there was plenty of room for all of us. Our dogs loved the back yard and we all enjoyed the hot tub and patio area. Lauren was very good at communicating and took care of the minor issues we had. Over all a great time and we would stay here again. The location was also very convenient and and within a close distance of the beach, restaurants and shopping. plenty of room

Beautiful Home

The pictures of the home are very accurate. We had high hopes for a spring break vacation home, it did not disappoint. The neighborhood is very quiet and just far enough away from busy Destin but just a short drive to their beaches. My family had more than enough room and everything we needed was there. Grocery and restaurants are all within a 15 minute drive. Our children enjoyed the pool while we enjoyed the hot tub and our dogs were very comfortable in the surroundings. We hope to come back again!

Awesome property

This property is amazing! It's everything listed and more. My family and I really enjoyed this property an also the amenities. The pool and the hot tub were clean and enjoyable and also the house is very spacious. The area has a lot of places to eat, shop and things that can't be done with the family. I would also check Destin as it's just a short drive away to the beaches, fishing charters and more adult and family friendly things to do. The host was amazing and recommend tons of things for my family and I to do. I will definitely be visiting this area and property again!

Wonder getaway house

We were very happy. The house was an absolutely beautiful location was wonderful. The swimming pool in the hot tub we’re both perfect favorite part about our trip was definitely the house very close to Dustin and yes, it does suck to pay the four dollars every time you cross the bridge but that’s what happens when you’re on vacation all the amenities were wonderful, even had pool towels very convenient jacuzzi tub in the bathroom wouldn’t turn on like the electric wasn’t coming to it maybe just a fuse blown didn’t wanna bother with it love taking a bath in the big tub anyway and it kept the teenagers from staying out of my room. House was just picture shown even bigger than I expected. we would stay again, but I never go the same Town twice but we definitely recommend it 😊

Visit with Granddaughter

The property was nice but the description is misleading. The pool is not heated, the solar heater system is broken. The hot tub was gross, slimy and so dirty you couldn't see the jets! Host called pool company but it was never available during our stay. Water pressure in the master shower is less than desirable. The yard hasn't been cut in a while, knee high weeds and briars. Queen bed is master bed room is very comfortable, appliances worked well. The kitchen and decor were great. My rating is low because we rented this property specifically for the pool and hot tub. So, we were very disappointed that those were not available for our stay.

Great place to stay!

We stayed for 5 days/4 nights and were pleased with the home! The interior of the home is exactly as described and was cleaned and ready for us when we arrived! The check-in process was super simple, and we had no difficulties! Lauren checked in with us via text and was easy to communicate with (even though we didn't have any issues we needed taken care of during our stay!). This property is located about 15 minutes away from the main strip of Destin which we appreciated having a place to retreat away from the hustle and bustle. There are plenty of nearby grocery stores and pharmacies. We also visited a quaint little ice cream shop with specialty rolled ice cream and vintage arcade games (it was delicious!). We really appreciated the details of the amenities at the property down to the plethora of plugs at the bedside for our electronics -- we didn't need to buy a single thing but food! The pool toybox was fully stocked, and she had everything we needed for a day on the boat and beaches! The pool and hot tub were clean, and we enjoyed them thoroughly! The check-out process was reasonable and easy. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here and wouldn't hesitate to book it again for our next trip!

Beautiful home but terrible start to vacation

This was a beautiful home! We really enjoyed the pool, hot tub (once it was fixed), and the master bathroom, although the jets on the tub wouldn’t work. Nice heated pool! Our check-in was supposed to be at 3pm. At 2:50pm, I received a text from the property owner that the cleaner wouldn’t have the house ready until 4pm. We were already waiting down the road in a parking lot for check in at 3. At 4pm, I messaged and asked if the house was ready. I received a reply stating the bedding still needed to be washed and the cleaner was taking it to the laundromat, but that the property owner would love to buy us all dinner while we waited, which never happened. While waiting to get into the home around 4:30om, the cleaner was still there and the pool guy had just arrived to clean the pool and tend to it. The cleaner didn’t arrive with the linens for the beds until almost 9pm. Mind you; we had 2 kids with us that have a bed time earlier than 9pm. Other than the nightmare of the first day, we had a great time.

You Found a Friend in Me!

The house was totally accessible, a big plus for a handicap person. The private pool and huge patio was a my favorite amenity. Queen bedrooms were clean and comfy except my spouse and I prefer a firmer mattress. Everything you need was there! I fell in love with the soap dispensing from the washer! No need to purchase detergent. The leather sofa included throws for a cozy night of tv! Speaking of tv, always read the amenities carefully. There was only 1 tv in the den. I called to see if that was a misprint because we love to watch tv from our bed. She immediately but nice smart TVs in the other rooms! New renters pat me on the back for that! Smile To top it off there are several beaches surrounding the area. We chose to visit Miramar because of its ADA accommodations. To be honest the owner and I really clicked! She was so friendly and respond to any questions in an instance. That is a rarity from my many experiences and made me felt welcome to use her services again.

Overall our stay was decent. Im a fairly calm person and go with the flow but there was a larger concerns that seemed dismissed right off the bat and i no longer felt reaching out would do any good so I kept a list in which i left at the property. No one ever reached out. We had a snag with check-in time however the host did provide a little money toward our family staying busy due to the delay. It was enough for dinner for our family of 5 so we accepted and I even commended the communication and customer service. Pros- very nice house, cute decor, spacious. Random amenities not listed in the description. Good location and overall would love to stay at the property again.Cons- for the price I paid for a weeks stay.. the hot tub didnt work and we informed her on the first morning there. Nothing was done. The jets in the jacuzzi tub didnt work as advertised. My son slipped on the floor in the master bath after a shower due to no rugs. Spent an hour blowing up pool floaties to find out almost all were popped. One dish towel in the kitchen.. I had to wash it daily. No drying rack, the pots and lids dont match and it was missing normal items. Grill was absolutely filthy. Should have checked prior to shopping for food. No spatula made pancakes our first morning fun. 3 rolls of toilet paper seems a bit tight when again, I paid the price I did. Again, no contact since our stay to apologize for the missing things that were the main points of why we booked it in the first place.
