This was one of the cleanest rentals we have ever stayed in. On every vacation we do a walk through to find broke things to report to the manager. THERE WAS NOTHING BROKEN. The house was super clean, and very close to the beach. I would stay in this rental again, I absolutely loved it.

Review

The house was very clean and welcoming. The neighborhood was quiet and so close to the beach. The only downfall, was the dryer didn't work well. We had to keep redrying our laundry multiple times. Otherwise, everhthing else worked just fine. Would definitely recommend staying here, and we will be back!

Awesome house - replace the back deck asap

I've wrestled with giving 4 or 5 stars, but I have to go with 4. The house is literally perfect with the exception of the back deck, which was dangerous to walk on and needs to be replaced asap. I'm fairly frustrated about it, because there was no heads up of any kind pointing to that, and I have an older father-in-law, and a 4 year old who could have fallen through a board. If the owners completely replace the back deck, add nice chairs (like the ones on the front porch), get rid of the plastic chairs and the crummy table...and add edison lights, some aesthetics to really make it nice (maybe flower box, big seating area with gas firepit or something) --- we will book this house 2-3 times per year every year. Without those things, we would probably poke around and look for another house to stay at, and I would be disappointed in doing so because literally everything else is absolutely fantastic.

Just like home - we’ll be back!

Crew Rest was home away from home for us. The moment we walked in, it was beautiful and so clean and refreshing. The decor and added upgrades were very well done. I loved the tiled floors, the updated kitchen and bathrooms, and the added hints of home (new lighting fixtures, wainscoting, shiplap, etc). The decor was simple, yet stunning. Even a washer and dryer (I LOVE returning home from vacation with all the laundry already done!!). It felt like home right away. The beds were so comfortable and my kids are asking for the mattress foam toppers already! The high speed internet kept everyone entertained and Netflix was a nice touch! And surprisingly the Adirondack chairs on the front porch were from a tiny little country store in our backyard back home - even more of a feeling of home!! The location of Crew Rest was perfect. We walked daily to and from the beach and to and from the pool. We rode bikes throughout the area and had a day trip bike route along 30A. The security of the garage gave us peace of mind for storing our bikes. The restaurants and retail shopping surrounds you at Crew Rest, but it is so quiet and quaint that you don’t even realize you are right in the heart of Destin yet in a quiet, peaceful subdivision. And the boat dock for our Crab Island adventure was only a 10 minute drive away. My husband and I were strategizing a similar bungalow purchase by day 2!! The only improvement I can think of would be use of the golf cart (we would have been willing to sanitize it top to bottom after use!). It would have made getting around even more convenient than lugging everything back and forth for a family of 5. Truly a great place to stay with so many conveniences of home. We would definitely stay again! Maybe bring cornhole boards for the long backyard next time!

Very Satisfied

I'm not one to leave very many reviews but I felt like I had to on this one. We were extremely pleased on the overall quality of this rental. It is in a prime location between beach access and access to all shopping and eating. I've already told family and friends about this house. Only thing I would change next time would be finding out about having access to the golf cart that was in the garage.
