Thank you so much, Jennifer, for taking the time to leave a review. You are so pleasant to work with and responsive. We hope you come stay with us again!
Valarie, you are so appreciated! We have never had housekeeping say, "Thank you, Lord!" until you left the house in such amazing shape! Please come stay with us again the next time you are in beautiful Destin.
Absolutely loved our stay at this beach rental! Its proximity to the beach was unbeatable, and the owner's hospitality made our experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Thank you for staying with us, Cole! We so appreciate you leaving the property in amazing condition and look forward to you staying with us again anytime you are in Destin!
Property was so spacious, very clean, beds were comfy! 1 Block away from beach access (the beach access itself is small but we made it work and not an issue with the VRBO) . House had ample space and amenities.
Stayed for 2 night with a church young men's group. The property manager was extremely kind and helpful, even when having to manage a difficult situation. Everyone was great!

Thank you Jason for staying with us and please come back! Your group is awesome!
Michelle was such an amazing host! Not only was the location and stay perfect, but the host helped me with any questions at an efficient rate and also worked with me to jump over any hurdles along the way. Definitely the best rental experience I've had so far!

Isai, thank you so much for taking the time to post your review of Diamond in The Reef. We really appreciated your communication with us during your stay and are so happy to hear that you will be back!
We had an amazing time. The house was very clean, spacious and had all amenities we needed. Just a short walk away from the beach. Plus it was very family friend even for small kids. The host was very responsive and provided us with guidance on shopping and restaurants. We will be back!

Wat, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback to us and our future guests. You and your family are welcome back as soon as you are ready and we are so happy to hear you'll be back! Your family is awesome!!!
Hands down best experience I’ve had with a rental. The Martinez family (host) are amazing. They made sure we had a great stay in Destin. Gave us our our privacy but very attentive at the same time. Check in and check out process fast and easy. Gave us early check in , and access to other parts of the house at no extra charge . Spa pool amazing . Walking distance to beach and restaurants. No need to drive . Overall experience with property , area and amenities 5/5 stars , will be back next year.

Ramon, thank you for taking the time to submit a review and for being such an awesome guest and person! We are looking forward to your return next year and appreciate you so much!
Outstanding location and house was clean and spacious. The host answered any and every question I had promptly. We were given an early check in at no additional fee. Check out process was easy and fast. Beach access was less than a block away. You only can sit your chairs in a small area on the beach that’s designated to you so my advice is to get a spot early if you go at a peak time. This is no fault to the owners of the house, it’s something to do with the city’s laws. Also read “about this property” thoroughly. I assumed this was a 6 bedroom and didn’t realize I would need to rent the 2 extra bedrooms if needed. This was an oversight on my part as I just did a quick glance at the pictures. I would 100% rent this house again and hope to do so in the future.
Fue una experiencia muy placentera, los días que pasamos en la casa nos hizo sentir no querer regresar a nuestra casa. Todo estaba muy limpio, espaciosa y toda mi familia se sintió realmente cómoda, aparte que estaba demasiado cerca de la playa y eso hizo más emocionante nuestra estancia. Definitivamente recomendamos esta lugar. Gracias Michel
