Avoid this awful stay and management company
Could not have been worse. Terrible communication prior to the check in where the host failed to respond. Only once there was an issue with their cleanliness of their towels and bedding did they reply but the response was to blame us and tell us if we weren’t happy we could go do laundry and clean it ourselves. lol. We left immediately (11pm) and stayed in a cheap hotel which was much cleaner, bigger, and more comfortable. That should tell you all you need to know about this place. To the owner, get a new management company. These people were awful to deal with

Cap’s Cottage Cozy Getaway
This is our second stay at Nantucket Cottages, we love the location. We enjoyed the beach chairs and pool noodles provided. Our unit had a washer and dryer and was very convenient. It is close to the shopping center that has food, bowling, and even a movie theater. I would highly recommend this condo.

A Lil' Oasis Near the Beach
Me and my family, which includes a small dog, enjoyed our stay at Cap's Cottage!! It was just the perfect loft within walking distance to the beach and driving distance to all the main attractions that Destin has to offer. The neighborhood is very clean and quiet and our neighbors in the surrounding cottages were very friendly! We saw lots of other dogs so they are very Pet Friendly. We loved it, it was clean and just big enough to hold my family. There is no full kitchen, but the room has a small fridge, microwave, and keurig. Although the room comes with some of their own utensils, we brought some of our own paper/plastic utensils, food and some extra toiletries just incase. Because it's in an area that is not walking distance to a store. So you want to come prepared with whatever you need if you just want to hangout at the beach or near their cute pool area! Everything worked out perfectly!! Highly recommend!! And our dog loved it too!!

Sweet stay in the heart of Destin
While this cottage is small, it is very cozy and well equipped with everything needed for a short getaway. Two public beaches are very close by and very walkable. Cottage was very clean and loved all of the amenities. Very accurate posting. Only concern was the rug in front of the door of the entrance at the top of stairs does not have grips on the bottom so there was several times we almost slipped going out. Would suggest new rug that stays put. But overall would definitely recommend!

Close to the beach
The location was very nice. But the fact that the room didn’t have any kind of kitchen kind of sucked. no
Plates, bowls or silverware, even if we brought food back. it was very difficult to be able to eat it without any kind of utensils. Also, if you’re only going provide a microwave, you really should provide some kind of ability to at least warm up some thing in the microwave. Like a microwave dish.
