The Hagemeyer & Romito Families
Such a great house! We stayed one week with 2 families with small children, 4 under 4 and one set of grandparents . Spreading out was not issue when necessary. The pool was wonderful and just the right size. The wadding area for the littles was perfect. The beach was a short walk from the house with no complaints from the kids or grandparents. Coffee, ice cream, shopping and restaurants within walking distance of the house. Each family had their own balcony and a different view of the area. FYI...the best breakfast donuts can be found @ Destination Little Donuts. Try it out on your next trip. It was a wonderful stay and would certainly stay again.
Our family, including two daughters and their families, returned from vacation at Down by the Sea a couple of weeks ago and we all agree it was the best house we've stayed in at the beach. So roomy and so relaxing! Lots of room to put your beach/pool "things" without them getting in the way. This house is clean and well taken care of, with the feel of a personal home, rather than a well-used rental. My family, especially the grandchildren, absolutely loved the great pool, with the shallow area for little ones. So nice to have the covered porch for the baby and a shower to rinse off after the beach. We appreciated not having to haul baby equipment and it was wonderful to have the quiet crib room. The beds were all super comfy and bedrooms had plenty of room, particularly the second floor master - huge! The beach was close and easy to get to, even with little ones. Craig and Dodie were so nice to work with and really gave it that personal touch. They really care! Thank you!
Family and I stayed at Down by the Sea 6/4-6/11/16. Great house to stay at, beautiful neighborhood. Well taken care of. House and grounds very clean upon arrival. Very family friendly, from being close to the beach to the GREAT private house pool which has a shallow end for the children who are not very confident with their swimming skills. Plenty of room to play games at night after a fun day in the sun. Want a house to stay in Destin, FL, Down by the Sea is the answer.
We just left the home in Destin and have nothing but great things to say about it! We have three small children and the house had everything we needed! The first floor bedroom was perfect for grandparents who came with us and the private pool was large enough for the entire family to be in the pool at the same time! We had a few rainy days during our stay, but had plenty to do at the house! The owners are very accommodating and so nice to talk to! We plan on returning to the house and cannot wait for our next vacation!
What a fabulous house!!! The location was perfect!!! Very, very close to the beach. It is a gated community with very large, beautiful homes. There were 11 in my family. We had so much space to spread out. The house was spotless and beautiful decor. The kitchen was great with so many at one time in there preparing lunch and dinner. We all had plenty of space to sit at the dining table. The pool was very large. My family just loved their time in the pool. There was a covered porch by the pool to keep the baby out of the sun. The house was fully equipped for baby and toddler. My family consisted of three families, myself, a teen, a toddler and 6 month old. Just a perfect house. We all had plenty of privacy when we wanted it. Very convenient drive to all that Destin has to offer. It was so nice working with the owner, Craig and Dodie. They were very prompt in answering questions and made the leasing process very easy. Great people!!!!! My family can't wait to go back!!!!! Thanks Craig and Dodie for providing such a great home for us in Destin!!!!
I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this home or the owners! This is a wonderful home if you're looking for something family friendly in the Destin area. You're in close proximity to grocery stores and shopping while just short drive away from Harborwalk. The house was clean and well prepared for our arrival and had more than plenty of extra items available for our small kiddos. We had three 1 year olds with us and were very well equiped. When you're driving from 10 hours away every little bit of space counts and not having to tote extra beach chairs and pack n plays with us was extremely nice. The kids loved digging through all of the pool tools available outside and we absolutely loved the crib room in the master. This is a wonderful home if you're traveling with a large family or vacationing with three small families like we were. I just contacted Craig in hopes of being able to plan this years trip. We'll definitely be revisiting this home!
