Great Location and house but some supplies lacking
The house is exactly as described and my group had a great time. There were 5 couples staying at the house and everyone was very comfortable with their own rooms and bathrooms. The living room had enough seating for everyone to hang out as well. It would probably be a little small to have everyone in the same living room with a larger group but there are multiple living areas.
The only negatives were there were no cleaning supplies and limited on things like paper towels so it was difficult to clean up after ourselves. I appreciate that we were not expected to do a thorough cleaning but it would have been nice to have something to wipe down a countertop. There were a limited amount of cooking utensils but we ate at restaurants most of our meals.

Family thanksgiving getaway
We had an amazing trip to aquamare for thanksgiving. Customer service was excellent. Great communication. When we realized there were no sauce pans for cooking, I sent an email, and got a call back within 5 minutes. A new set was dropped off a couple hours later.
Excellent location.

Perfect for big families!
We had 23 in our group, 8 kids 15 adults, and it was perfect for us. Plenty of rooms to have our own space, not too far from the beach, close enough to everything in Destin, pool is a nice size. We loved that every room (minus bunk rooms) had king beds and their own bathroom (except one room). We would definitely book again!

Nice house and location but not wheelchair accessible
We booked this house because the description said that it was wheelchair accessible. This house is not anything close to accessible. No ramps, wide doors, grab bars, and the shower was impossible for anyone in a wheelchair to get in and out of. The house was very nicely located to the beach but this needs to be removed from future listings.
