Hosts were on the ball with this place and the communication. We absolutely loved the house, pool, location, and neighborhood. The pool was a must when double red flag or seaweed take over days. This will be one of the first VRBOs we will want to go back to.

This is the second year we’ve stayed here with our family and it’s perfect. We love the four master bedrooms with en suites. The pool is perfect and large enough for all 7 of us the be in there at the same time. The beach is a quick walk and there is daily availability to rent chairs and umbrellas. The house is very clean and fully stocked. We can’t say enough great things about this property!

Great place for large groups!

We had the best time at this beach house! We had 3 couples with kids and there was plenty of room for all of us. The house came equipped with everything you would need for the pool and the beach (towels included)! It’s exactly a 3 minute walk to the beach (as advertised). The pool/spa combo was nice as well. The owners were very communicative throughout the whole stay. 10/10 would recommend and would stay here again!

College spring break

3 families with college students stayed at the home. It had everything we needed- coffee, spices, paper products, beach towels, beach chairs and more. The pool area was perfect for the 2 windy days we had- sheltered from the wind but completely sunny! Easy walk to beach. Beautiful home!

AWESOME place

My group and I really enjoyed our visit. Great proximity to the beach with private access. It housed plenty of people with 5 rooms (4 with a king bed, 2 bunks). Everything with the check-in process was incredibly smooth. Couldn’t have picked out a better place! Perfect for a spot with friends or family!

Perfect house for a family

There were 8 adults in our group and this house was perfect! There were 3 couples so the en suite bathrooms were perfect. The pool was a great size that we all enjoyed after spending a few hours at the beach. The house was fully stocked with toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher pods and laundry pods. This was for sure one of our favorite vacation houses!

Our family of ten stay at Destin Haven was great! All ages enjoyed the pool as well as the short walk to the private beach. The property is terrific and well kept. Excellent air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout the house kept us comfortable after being out in the heat and humidity. Reasonable access to all Destin has to offer.

Best beach house rental!

This property is perfectly situated with a 3 minute walk to the beach, but on a quiet street with no traffic. House was fully stocked with every amenity. Host was phenomenal for proactive communication, this house specifically was the best in the neighborhood for its’ pool placement, depth and style. Hot tub was key and the beach supplies were plentiful.
