Day Dream is a Day Dream! It's a wonderful VRBO in a great neighborhood that is less than 5 minutes to the beach. If you want to be in a beautiful home for your Destin stay that is close to the beach this is your choice!

This house is adorable, inside and out! The decor, bedding, kitchen, and just everything were more than I ever hoped for. The baby had room to run, plus we all had plenty of room to ourselves. The house is cozy, comfy, and welcoming -

We had an amazing time and our home was incredible. We will most certainly return. Thanks so much.
The house was awesome. It was just as described and our family fell in love with it the moment we walked in. The location was absolutely perfect and so quiet. We walked to the beach numerous times every day and it took less than 10 minutes. We made wonderful family memories with our stay. Needless to say, we are already planning our return to this beautiful home.

Thank you so much for the nice review. My wife and I work hard to make things enjoyable for everyone, and getting responses like these is very much appreciated.

We had a great time and the location is a short walk from the beach. However the house needs a deep cleaning as the showers were dirty and the sheets seemed like they might not have been switched. Overall it is a nice house with a friendly neighborhood.

Glad you had a good time. I wish though that you would have reached out to me or my management team to address any issues you were having. We certainly would have addressed them. Thanks,

The group had an amazing time with this property and will definitely return next time we have this many people. Very walkable to the beach in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. We did have an issue with not having enough hot water for our 12 people to shower every evening and parking was tight for 4 vehicles. The host and neighbors are chill so long as your group does the same.

Thanks for the kind words. As for the hot water, the tank is large and capable, but I think the temperature was set down too low for your stay. Thanks again and hope to have you back.
Ray is a wonderful owner who has put a lot of effort in making a wonderful place for vacationers to come and have a home away from home. This property is everything it is listed as, and Ray was a pleasure to work with. All positives on everything!
I would suggest renting a golf cart if you carry a lot of bunch stuff. Also, it’s a good place, so the beaches get plenty of people.

Thank you so much for your kind response. We are glad your family had a good time and the house was a good fit for you. I hope you got some good pics of those memories you are taking back with you.
Thanks, Ray and Shelley
The property is exactly as promised - walking distance to the beach, quiet neighborhood and clean. We didn’t have hot water for the first part of our stay, but it was fixed as soon as I reached out to Ray. The front door is a little quirky but calling the property manager helped us get in. I would return to the property in the future!
