  We spent a week at A Touch Of Paradise to have a little family reunion and also to meet our new grandson, who lives nearby. The property was perfect for us and our son and his family. Our grandchildren felt very comfortable and that made the stay enjoyable for all of us. The location was great and it was easy to get to restaurants, shopping and the beach. The beach is a short walk from the house, but we liked the beach further up, because there was a playground for the kids. Across from the property is a nice volley ball court and two tennis courts and also the community pool. Very conveniently located! The owners were great and checked in with us to see if we needed anything. It is a very nice place to stay and very suitable for a large family! We found the photos to be fairly accurate! We would rent there again in the future without hesitation!

  Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

  Owner response: Dear Charlotte, We are glad to hear that your family was so comfortable at our Touch of Paradise and that you would rent it again without hesitation. Thanks again, Vince and Meryl

  The home was everything we needed - four bedrooms each with its own bathroom. We had four couples staying at the home, and this provided maximum convenience for everyone. The short walk to the beach made it easy, even for two pregnant ladies!! And having the pool so close was also a nice feature. The house was well maintained, immaculate, beautifully decorated, and provided all the space we needed. Communication with Vince and Meryl was always immediate and accommodating from the time we booked the rental until we checked out. I would definitely recommend this rental for anyone visiting Destin. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

  Owner response: Dear Debbie and Mike, we loved accommodating your precious family. We look forward to having you stay at A TOP again on your next Destin trip. Give those babies a hug from us. Thanks, Vince and Meryl

  We planned a family vacation to Destin, FL and A Touch of Paradise was a perfect place for us. The house was beautiful and offered a lot of privacy for all ten of us. The five minute walk to the beach was close enough that our three year old grandson could make the walk without any problem. We would definitely rent from Meryl and Vince again without a doubt. They were very accommodating and checked on us mid-week. It was a vacation we all will be talking about for years to come.

  Owner response: Dear Charlotte, We are so glad that you liked our beach house, that it was the Perfect Place for your family and so close to the beach for your little grandson. You kept our house super clean! Thanks so much. We look forward to take care of you the next time you come to Destin. Kindest Regards, Vince and Meryl

  I just spent a week with my 3 children, their spouses and my 2 grandchildren. We had a wonderful time and had plenty of space. I loved the area and the house was great. The rooms were really spacious and clean. We also liked that the 4 bedrooms were spread out over 3 floors, which allowed for privacy. Every bedroom had its own bathroom and TV. It was a short walk to the beautiful beach. My grandchildren LOVED the pool. I was worried that the water would be too cold since we were there in March, but it was as warm as a bathtub and right across the street. Vince and Meryl were extremely helpful and friendly. The living area was a little bit small for the size of the house, but we spent most of our time outside on the patio. We will definitely rent from them again!

  Owner response: Hi K, Thanks for the nice comments . We are happy that you liked being so close to the beach & pool, and that the grand kids loved the pool. Vince and Meryl

  My family and I recently spent a week at A Touch of Paradise and it was amazing! It was nice to be in a quiet neighborhood after spending the day on the beach and you're ready to wind down. The pool literally is right across the street and it a great size too. The walk to the beach was a quick 3 minutes at the most. And the beach was awesome! Not so crowded and we were able to leave a tent up on the beach with our chairs overnight and the next morning our spot was ready to go. There are many restaurants within close proximity to the home. Grocery stores were fairly convenient as well. Vince and Meryll were very accomodating and so easy to work with. They even checked on us midweek to see if there was anything we needed. And our security deposit was refunded as quickly as promised. The home was very clean and the layout and sleeping arrangements were great! I would definitely recommend this property to friends! Thanks again Vince & Meryll! : )

  My family and I recently stayed a week, at a "Touch of Paradise", in Destin Florida. We spent weeks on line, and with realtors trying to find the perfect place for our vacation. Our search was well worth our time when we decided on "A Touch of Paradise". It more than exceeded our expectations. It is the perfect combination of having a pool right outside the front door, and having a beautiful, private beach literally steps away from the home. We even had a gorgeous beach view from the master suite. The home is located in the private, residential community of Terra Cotta Way. We could not have picked a more perfect spot. We absolutely loved the exclusiveness of this community and its location (very quiet and very safe). It is a pedestrian friendly area, and only residential traffic is allowed. Having 3 children, this safety factor was an added comfort to us. "A Touch of Paradise" is a charming home, with every amenity imaginable. The home is very spacious, clean, well maintained, and appointed beautifully. The home owners, Vince and Meryl are delightful, friendly, and extremely accommodating. Not only have we recommend this property to our friends, but will spend many more vacations here ourselves. It was perfect in every way. Thank you Vince and Meryl.

Thanks so much for making us feel so welcome. Nothing you and Vince have done to make our stay so special has gone unnoticed. We thank you and look forward to next year.(the 3rd year) Blessings, the Crisps.

It is a large 4 bedroom home and when so many family members are staying at one time it would have been nice to have more seating in the living area. Other than that, the home was very clean and the layout and sleeping arrangements were great! I would definitely recommend this property to friends! Thanks again Vince & Meryll! : )
