My husband, daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bonaire Bliss. We visit Destin every year and always try to stay in Destiny East. We absolutely love the neighborhood. The house was as described and was fully stocked with all that we needed to enjoy our week. The living room area is stocked with all kinds of books and movies to enjoy too. I really enjoyed reading poolside in the chaise lounge chairs.
We loved the pool. The "hot tub" isn't really a hot tub just so you know. The water is the same temperature as the pool, but it does have jets and allows you to sit and relax in the water. It was perfect. There were also tons of pool floats and toys at the house to enjoy. And for beachgoers, there were a few beach chairs you could bring which is always nice.
What I also appreciated is that right behind this home is the community walking trail which brings you right to the Clubhouse which is just a few houses walk away. So super short walk to the community pool, playground, tennis courts etc, if you wanted to enjoy that.
Because the other reviews mentioned how slow the golf cart was that is provided, we did rent our own gas-powered cart because golf-carting around Destin is one of our favorite things to do and we wanted to be able to keep up with traffic. In fact, we only took our car out a couple times the week we were there. This location is perfect and gives you access to so many shops and restaurants via the golf cart (you just can't cross Hwy 98).
Beach access is by the Crab Trab restaurant, which is .5 miles away from the home. So it is walkable, but that is where the golf cart comes in handy again and we have never had a problem finding a parking space - even though it can get very busy at the beach.
Walmart does grocery delivery to this subdivision - so one tip would be to order all your grocery needs ahead of time and save the hassle of shopping/pick up. If you are checking in on a Saturday and want your groceries same day, these delivery slots fill up fast. The Saturday slots open up on the Sunday before, so if you are wanting a 4pm or later delivery of groceries, make sure you book it asap. I'm sure there are other grocery stores that deliver too, or Instacart, etc.
Brenda was fantastic to work with and very responsive with any need or question we had. We would love to work with her again.
