"Destin Dreaming" was a dream come true.
Guest: Jack

Date of Stay: 10/19/11
Review Submitted: 10/28/11
We just spent four great days at the house, which was everything and more than we had expected. The imformation on the website was completely accurate and the place is extremely clean and well taken care of. The location works well and the fenced yard was ideal for our poodles. We were disappointed only in the fact that the entire area doesn't allow pets on the beach. We travel with our dogs and have visited beaches east and west and have always done our part and more to clean up the beaches. It's too bad that some people, who don't, caused the area to prohibit pets on beaches. Back to the home, it has everything needed to have a great time and Stacy was very helpful. We would highly recommend this VRBO # to all our friends and acquaintances. The weather was cooler than expected but we enjoyed the rockers on the porches and the great pool area for eating lunches under the sun. The only thing limiting our return is the prohibition of pets on the beaches.

We had our family reunion at Destin Dreaming. We had a wonderful time and the house worked out perfectly for our large group of 10. Accurately described, close to the beach and restaurants. Kids loved the pool. Very clean and plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Stacey was very helpful answering questions before our trip.

Destin Dreaming was everything we could have wanted and more. The accomadations were wonderful and so many things provided that we would never have thought to be there. The kids loved the pool even after a day at the beach. Beach access a very short walk. Enought to drop some of the sand off on the way home. Landscaping was beautiful and gave you a very private feel with the trees. Sitting on the porches early in the morning and late at night provided some very relaxed time. Hope to come back someday soon.

The only thing more beautiful than this house is the yard. It was great for kids as well as my dog. The pool is tucked away in the corner with a seperate fence and child proof gate. The yard is landscaped beautifully. It has mature trees that cover the porch areas and give it a very private feel. It is close enough to the beach as well as many shops and restaraunts to walk to easily with children. My dog loved her daily walks, there are sidewalks that make it easy to walk a pet without having to worry about traffic. The inside of the house is beautiful. The pics do not do it justice. There is plenty of room for lots of people. It would also be great for the elderly or handicapped. There is a wheel chair ramp in the front and the downstair bathroom has a safety bar in the restroom. There is a restroom for each bedroom which makes it convenient for getting ready to go out after a long day at the beach. The shower outside is also great for after the beach and it has hot water! Every detail has been taken care of right down to the right dishes, paper towels and toilet paper. The house was very clean and tidy. Stacy was great...she answered all of my questions before the trip. I will definately bring my family back year after year!!! After years of renting vacation homes, I have finally found the best house in Destin. I will definately recommend this house to my family and friends.

We spent the month of March in Destin Dreaming and it was great for us. To be able to bring our dog, (who loved the house and the yard) was wonderful for us. We are thinking of doing it again next year!

My family stayed here for one month and we enjoyed it immensely. Having my Yellow Lab and Corgi with me meant everything to complete the stay. The house is pure bliss with the large porch on two levels... accessed from multiple rooms, nice private pool area for sunbathing, great location for walking to just about anything: stores, restaurants, the beach, and don't forget "Happy Hour" at several restaurants. ( You can leave tipsy and not worry about driving home.) The neighbors are quiet. The home has everything you need, just bring some fine groceries. Stacey and her family are great to work with. They are honest and really care about you enjoying your visit. That means alot. The only problem is that it's hard to think about staying anywhere else!

We were very happy with our stay in Destin Dreaming. The house was very comfortable and fit our family's needs very well. We had everything we needed and then some. We traveled all night from Arkansas to get to Destin and were very happy when we arrived at the house. We are hoping to make this an annual family vacation and would love to stay in Destin Dreaming again. Thanks Stacey and the Harris Family!

This has been the best place we have ever stayed. They furnished everything we would need even had dried mustard to make a breakfast casserole. The only thing we were missing was barbecue tools we probably just didn't look in the right area. The kids loved the pool just the right size for little ones. We loved the beach the water was beautiful and warm. Would recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a great place to relax and get away. Great shopping and so many restaurants we couldn't eat at them all. The house was big enough for 10 of us and could of held more. It was very clean and everthing we needed was provided. Had a great time and would go back tomorrow if we could.

Wow! We were so pleased when we drove into the driveway. What a deal!!! (we were thinking) AND after entering the home, our smiles continued to grow as we looked around! The photos of the bedrooms do not show how large and well furnished(especially t.v's, music systems, etc..) they are. The house was so clean and inviting. We like pet friendly places, but not the kind where there are any clues that a pet has been around AND we were comforted when we noticed how immaculate the interior AND exterior of the home were. We have a small pet and the fenced in yard was terrific, as well as the expansive porches - and also for our boys(ages 4 and 21 months). We pulled the baby in a red wagon to the beach and our other son liked pulling the beach toy cart(he liked the slew of beach toys just as much!) The Crystal Beach community is beautiful and Destin Dreamin' is the house - almost the quintessential American summer vacation place to go with your family/friends. Superb! Comfortable! Enjoyable! It feels like your own beach home!(almost to the point that you don't want to recommend it to others!-a best kept secret kind of place!) We will be back EVERY year, God willing, where our family can make memories for years to come!!!
