  • We rented this house in January 2009 to host a get-together with friends and family. The location across from the beach on Scenic 98 is wonderful. You are only 5 minutes from some of the best restaurants and shopping that Destin has to offer. Public access to the actual beach is only about 50 yards from the house. There is also enough parking for 7 cars in the driveway if you are smart about it and room for 2 more if you use the garages. When we checked into the house, I was immediately surprised about how clean and well appointed the home was. I’ve rented a few “by owner” homes in the past and have never seen one this clean or well prepared for our visit. The first floor of the home offers a large den with a big screen TV, plenty of seating, a pool table, piano, and a mini-fridge. It’s definitely the spot for entertainment. There’s a bedroom with attached bath, and another half bath on the 1st floor. The 2nd floor has another living area (nice place to escape too if they are having too much fun downstairs), a very large patio complete with grill and a view of the ocean, and a huge kitchen with everything you need to make great meals (except for the food of course). There’s also two bedrooms (one with a balcony overlooking the pool), 1.5 bathrooms with a clawfoot tub, and laundry machines on the 2nd floor. The 3rd floor is where the master bedroom is and another bunk room. The master has another balcony on it which offers views of the ocean and room to sun (not that we did much of that in January). There are also two huge walk-in closets in the master and a bathroom with a large tub and a stand-up shower. The pool area in the back of the house is a great place to relax. We really enjoyed the hot tub and took a few trips into the pool to cool off. There’s also plenty of seating out there and a patio table large enough to have a nice meal on. This year was the 3rd one that we have gathered in a VRBO home for this event and every guest couldn’t stop talking about what a step-up this house was from previous years. Between awesome meals, we were able to keep busy with the numerous forms of entertainment that the home has to offer. We definitely plan on staying here again in the future.
