The house was in a great location—close to the beach, shops, and plenty of restaurants. We loved that each bedroom had its own en suite bathroom, and the whole place was very clean. The only drawback was that the kitchen wasn’t fully stocked for a large group; there weren’t enough cups, dishes, or basic cookware, which is unusual compared to other Vrbo stays I’ve had.The backyard, however, was fantastic. The kids had a blast in the pool, and there was plenty of outdoor seating for everyone to relax and enjoy.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear the location worked beautifully for your group, with the beach, shops, and restaurants all close at hand, and that the en suite bathrooms and overall cleanliness made for a comfortable stay. The backyard sounds like it was a real highlight — there's nothing better than seeing the kids have a blast in the pool while everyone else relaxes outside. We genuinely appreciate your feedback about the kitchen supplies; that's a valuable note, and we'll take a closer look to make sure it's better stocked for larger groups going forward. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!
The property is very clean, the highlights include the big bedrooms with all king beds, living area, two final big bedrooms with bunk beds gives excellent space for kids or families visiting together. Third floor has separate living space and bar to hangout.The pool is well maintained, kids enjoyed the stay.7 mins walk to the beach. Overall we enjoyed our stay, we would plan to book again on our next visit.

This is our second time staying in this home. Everything was wonderful. The only suggestion that has been given to me is pool and/or some beach toys for kids.

The house was perfect for our large family of 20. The pool & location to the beach was great. We rented golf carts, but walking was also okay to many locations. Stores and shopping were also close enough to walk. We had everything needed for a great week. Check in was super easy and available to our entire group, which was so helpful as we arrived at different times. The hosts responded immediately to any questions. We had a wonderful week & I highly recommend.

Thank you, Lisa. We’re so glad the home’s space, location, and amenities worked well for your large family gathering. It’s great to hear check-in was easy and that our team was able to assist you promptly.
We enjoyed staying at Lyle. The location was great, close access to the beach, restaurants and stores. The house was much larger than we needed but we wanted to have a heated pool and hot tub and this house delivered. I would recommend this house to large groups as there were many sleeping accommodations and bathrooms.

Location was good. Property needs some upkeep. Oven and stove did not work well. All the cook wear pans,pots baking sheets had no non stick left on them very difficult to use. Back door kept getting stuck. And 4000 in extra fees for just host and VRBO is way too extra

We were there for a youth baseball tournament and the house was perfect size/fit for a number of families. Walking distance to the beach was a plus. Hosts were very responsive to our minor requests. Great house!

Glad you enjoyed the stay! Thanks for your great review.
We enjoyed the property. It was conveniently located to stores, the beach and a short drive to main Destin boardwalk and Crab Island area. The house having bathrooms in each bedroom was nice. The floors need a serious cleaning, it was gross having black feet or inconvenient to wear shoes around, particularly if we were using the pool. Kitchen cooking utensils and pans need to be replaced poor quality and overused.

This property was the perfect space for our large family. We al had plenty of room and were surprised at the size of the living/kitchen space and the outside. It was bigger than we all anticipated and it was perfect! We would love to come back.

It was incredible hosting you, ! Glad you enjoyed everything!
The house was generally clean upon my arrival; however, I encountered several issues during my stay. There was mold present inside the toilet and on the ceilings, which appeared to have been painted over. Additionally, the metal trash cans in the bathroom showed signs of rust, and two sinks were clogged. When I went to take a shower, I found a significant amount of black hair stuck to the shower walls from a previous guest. Furthermore, the kitchen pans were heavily used, with the inside lining deteriorating. On a positive note, the pool was well-maintained, and the location was excellent.

The house was perfect for our large family vacation! (8 adults and 8 kids) We had plenty of room, really liked that each room had a bathroom and the kids loved the pool! It was an easy walk to the beach and shops or a short drive to the grocery store, Destin Commons, sweet treats shops or entertainment of our choice. We would definitely come back and stay at this house!
Everything was perfect. Great location, plenty of room both inside and out
Booking staff and management stayed in contact with us throughout our trip and even helped with getting our food for the week delivered. House was perfect, very clean, well lit, plenty of room for everyone to have space and entertain. My family and friends loved it and I’m sure yours will as well.
