Great House, great neighborhood, close to beach!

We had a wonderful stay at this house in March. First floor bedroom was perfect for my MIL. Backyard was great with the heated pool and plenty of space. The neighborhood is amazing, very quiet and peaceful with quite a few actual Florida residents. It has easy access to the beach, just a five minute walk, as well as easy drive to lots of restaurants and shopping. We loved our stay here and would def stay again. We only had 5 people in the house, and just used the first and second floors. It says it sleeps 18, and I’m sure that it does, although the third floor seems like it would be hot in the middle of summer.

Nice home and great location

Had a family vacation here, the house was very nice and spacious. The pool and all the paml trees in the back made for a great esacpe. House was clean and well maintained. The location was great, quick walk to the beach, access to lots of shopping, and quick drive to anywhere in Destin. The beach chair inclusion was amazing. Was also nice they had a cart and additional beach chairs. Kitchen was well stock with equipment and utensils. You gets starters on soap, paper towels, trash bags, dish soap, etc. All in all a great experience. Only downside was the wifi, it was down 75% of the time and mgmt company couldn't figure out why.

Great Family Vacation Spot

We had 16 people in the house and had plenty of room and privacy! Linens and beds were clean and comfortable. Bathrooms are spacious and clean. We did have small children and there is only the one large garden tub in the main floor master so it was a little challenging for bath time. The walk to the beach isn’t too far for a healthy adult but may be challenging for kids and elderly. The beach access isn’t handicap accessible and has lots of steps which prove to be challenging for some of our group. The pool is smaller than the picture alludes to but is very well kept and clean. Overall, we loved the house and would book again!

We had nice time off, the place is spacious for group of people 20 people. Property was clean upon arrival. Only issue we had was as soon as we entered the property the fire alarm went off and it took 45 min for the maintenance person to come and fix it.

Impeccable home two blocks from the beach

This property was perfect for a trip to the beach among friends. We had lots of space to spread out across floors, plenty of bathrooms, and the home was comfortable and well stocked. Loved the pool and the quick walk to the beach — it was truly not more than 1.5 blocks away. The manager was great with our pre-trip questions and we had no issues on the trip. Thanks for a great stay!
