Great Home for Family Getting Together at Destin Beach Area

The house was wonderful for our family with plenty of room for 5 adults. Newly updated with stylish furnishings and easily accessible gated community. Only down side was busy adjacent street, which one may expect in such a popular area. We had great communication with the host.

Great Place To Stay

Property was wonderful, I have never felt more “home” away from home. Clean and a nice nautical feel. Great location to beach and to some stores and restaurants. Located in nice gated community. Stan was very friendly and if there is any questions or issues support is friendly and quick. Can’t wait to stay with Stan here again or at his other properties. Highly recommend! Thank you!
