Six of us stayed at the Plantation House in mid April. We had an amazing time and the house was wonderful. It was located amazingly close to the beach and allowed us to easily go back and forth from the beach to the house. The home had a great audio system that was wired inside and out. We loved having music going everywhere. We were rained out one day but the men kept busy in the large game room while us women went shopping in nearby malls. This was a much needed relaxing trip. I couldn't imagine a better house to stay in. Thanks so much for letting stay in your amazing home!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Our family had a wonderful stay at Plantation House for our Christmas family reunion. We came from Arizona, Texas, Alabama, and central Florida to enjoy a week together. Plantation House was a perfect house for us, and we really appreciated the instant response from Randy the property manager when we had a issue with the dishwasher. We had 8 adults and 5 children and we used every inch of this beautiful home. The kitchen was perfect for the big holiday meals that we cooked. The house is so well equipped and comfortable that we lacked for nothing. And the location is excellent with easy walking distance access to the beach and a short drive to all manner of great shopping and entertainment options. We really enjoyed the antique shops that we discovered on the Emerald Coast Pkwy and brought home some treasures. We would love to go back to Plantation House sometime and would highly recommend it to others.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Lovely house, well laid out. Great location, 2 minute walk to beach, chairs and coolers provided. Walking distance of restaurants. Short drive (under 5 minutes) to shop till you drop. Plenty of golf close by. Or just be lazy and sit by the heated pool with a good book and a cool beverage. This is a vacation spot for anyone who wants to unwind and this was the perfect house to do it. .Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

I had the good fortune to vacation at “Plantation” in October. As the realtors say: Location! Location! Location! The house is not more than 100 yards from the beach and the gulf – just across the street. Shopping is only a couple of blocks away and there are recreational activities all around. The garage is outfitted as a game room that will make the “kids” of all ages ecstatic. The house is very nicely furnished--good furniture but not so fancy you can’t relax-- and well equipped -- lots of extra towels and even beach chairs. It has a wonderful music system that allows you to listen to different music in different rooms or by the heated pool. We had no problems while we were there but were provided with all the contacts if we needed help. We are already planning a return trip to this house. If I could give it SIX stars I would!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

The "Plantation House," was exactly as it is advertised in the rental property ad, beautiful ! The view from any porch on the front of the house is awesome. Very easy access to the beach; a short walk. We were a group of 11 staying at the house; we found the house very roomy, comfortable and clean. The location of the house is perfect. Across the street is the beach, on the corner of the block is a sushi bar and a bike & scooter rental place and about 2 -3 blocks back is a big strip mall that has everything you can imagine there ! We loved early mornings with lots of friendly people walking , running and riding bikes. A very family friendly place to stay, with plenty of actives around for the kids. One of our favorites was the " Big Kahuna" water park and "AJ's Seafood Restaurant." I would definitley recommend the "Plantation House," if you looking to stay near the beach in a family friendly area.The owners and property manager are very accessible and helpful to make your stay the best possible !Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, tourists without a car.

This vacation rental was just as described. The home has an awesome view of the gulf. This area was family orientated and the beach was perfect with plenty of beach area with no overcrowding. The house was clean, modern and comfortable. The portable ice chest in the kitchen allowed for an extra space to keep the beverages cold. The owner supplied beach equipment was handy! The carriage house provided an alternate quiet space, which worked well for us as we had toddlers who napped midday. We did contact the maintenance manager, as a door handle came loose, and he responded immediately. We would definitely consider returning for a future vacation.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway.

The Plantation House had EVERYTHING we needed and more! We had 3 families; 6 adults and 8 kids, and EVERYONE had a comfortable place to sleep. The house and Carriage House were FULLY equipped to accomodate us all. The location is SUPERB. Just a short walk (very short) to the Crystal Beach Public Access and you are standing on the beach. Actually, the short distance and ease may have been undersold; we expected to be a bit farther away than we actually were. Also just minutes away from shopping, food, groceries and etc. Beach toys, a beach cart, beach umbrellas and very nice beach chairs were all a bonus. Another bonus was the parking; most homes in that area had room for about 2 cars; we had a full length driveway, double wide. We had 2 SUV's and a minivan; still PLENTY of room to play basketball. LOVED the rolling drink cart; we stocked it up on the deck, ALWAYS had cold beverages and were able to use the fridge for food instead of being full of drinks. The house is PERFECTLY set up for entertaining; the kitchen, the bar area, the access to the decks and pool and entrances. And high quality flat screens EVERYWHERE! The pool area was a blast; plenty of room for kids to play and adults to relax. Large grill was perfect for cookouts. We were fortunate to have been able to be selective about where we were going to stay and inquired on DOZENS of homes in Destin. While there, we saw NO OTHER home that could have met our needs any better. Property manager Randy and his staff were available and helpful, and the house was SPOTLESS when we got there. I would rate it 10 out of 10, A plus!! The ONLY negative I have is that we had to leave!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

As two families (3 adults, 5 children) we stayed here for spring break and had a fabulous time. The accommodations were perfect and more than met our needs. Across the street access to the beach and a private heated pool gave us plenty of opportunity to enjoy the sun, water, and sand. Ammenities were abundant keeping everyone entertained in the evening and the close distance to shopping allowed us to easily grab last-minute items. The owners were wonderful to work with and their local support was quick to respond. We will definitely rent this location again and would recommend this to anyone and everyone.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.
