The property is well maintained. It seems it could comfortably sleep 6 adults, assuming there are couples in the larger bedroom beds, though if your party includes children and/or people use the couches as beds, then 8-10 could be feasible. The beach is indeed walking distance, although much of it is private so there is relatively little public beach truly in walking distance. It's a very short drive to grocery stores, several restaurants, and places to rent boats in the Destin Bay to see Crab Island. The Grayton Beach State Park is about a 35 minute drive away and the beach experience is much better there than the walk-able beach. Excellent value for the area, and we will definitely consider it again.
