Ring the Bell

We had a great time. We were a super short walk to the beach. The beach access has restrooms at the entrance to the beach. We had chairs and umbrellas in the same apot everyday with front row access to the ocean. The pool was a perfect break in the day to have an additional place to rest. The pool house made a fantastic spot to be able to house large groups and still have a place to get some space. We recieved multipule check ins from the property management that made communication super easy.

Golf getaway

House was in a great location. It was frustr ating to find out 20 min before we arrived for check in that the a/c was broken on the 2nd floor. I did appreciate it was trying to be fixed as soon as possible...but very inconvenient when we are trying unload vehicles and food and having maintenence workers in and out of the house

Fantastic communication with property managers. Check in was easy and the house was very clean. The entire property was exactly as advertised and we loved the house, pool house and location. Easy walk to the beach and nearby restaurants/gas/stores. 10/10 vacation stay

Huge disappointment

It was our 5th time staying in Destin/Miramar Beach area and this rental was a huge disappointment. The house was not clean upon our 4:00 arrival. We had daily calls to the rental office for safety concerns, crumbs and sand in beds marked as cleaned, towel bars falling off bathroom walls, missing pool step and the remaining steps missing bolts, lounge chair missing bolt, front porch glass lantern had loose glass, bicycle had pedal fall off during ride and had to push the bike back., etc.
