The house was excellent. We enjoyed the private beach access which was just a 3 minute walk. The beds were very comfortable. The two bunk rooms work great for the kids. Our favorite part was the free tiki cruise. We had suck a blast.

Thanks for the great review! Glad the house worked well and that private beach access was just a short 3-minute walk. Happy the beds were comfortable and the bunk rooms suited the kids. So glad the free tiki cruise was a favorite — what a blast. It was a pleasure hosting you — we’d love to welcome you back.
This was our second time to stay here. Perfect location for easy access to a quiet beach and plenty of room for everyone! Beautiful and comfortable home.
Overall it was ok. Started out rough with the Hurricane. We had to leave for 2 days came back to no power but it came on before dark. Then had a gas leak they had to send someone to fix that. Took a couple days to get the pool cleaned out. Then one of the smoke alarms started beeping and there was no battery in it, so they told us to take it off the ceiling and put it on the porch. After they told us it was ok to go back to the house, a hour later they told us we would have to leave because of the damage. No offer to refund any of the money we paid. So basically we would have paid a large amount to spend one night. Not to mention the 800 that we had to pay to relocate somewhere else for 2 nights. After I reach out to the groundskeeper and he called someone, the host sent back and said it was perfectly fine to stay, so over all it was a mess the first few days but then leveled out and we have a few good days

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re glad to hear that things eventually settled down and that you were able to enjoy a few good days, but we’re truly sorry for the stressful start to your stay.
We understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with the power outage, gas leak, pool cleaning delays, and smoke alarm issue, especially with the uncertainty surrounding whether you could safely remain at the property. We also understand how upsetting it must have been to face unexpected relocation costs and feel that the situation wasn’t handled clearly or consistently.
This is certainly not the experience we want our guests to have, and we’re sorry for the disruption and inconvenience you experienced. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention, and we’ll share your feedback with our team so they can review what happened and how the situation was handled.
Thank you again for your patience throughout such a difficult start to your stay. We’re sorry that these issues affected your overall experience, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective with us.
Castaway Castle is a beautiful home. The home is bright and airy with lots of windows and water views. There are wonderful spaces to hang out with comfy furniture and great decor. The location is prime and next to everything!

Thank you, Jeff! We're glad you enjoyed the beautiful design and location of Castaway Castle. It's great to hear you appreciated the comfy spaces and views. Looking forward to welcoming you back!
Castaway Castle made our stay in Destin very enjoyable. Accommodations were top rate. Clean, convenient to beach, rooms galore. We had to go looking for each other, it was so big! Accomodations for all.
great location! perfect facility for family gathering and short walk to the beach. only negative comment was the patio lounge chairs by the pool were extremely rusty and falling apart.
Great location and amenities. Very comfortable accommodations and would highly recommend for families. Plenty of room to hang out together or find a quiet place to work or have down time. Loved it! Only wish they provided more than 2 kitchen trashbags for our 5 day stay and a few more basic supplies like coffee.

Erica, We would've loved to bring you some additional supplies if ya'll had just let us know! Anytime you need extras we're here for ya!
Property was very well taken care of, family really enjoyed the place. Spacious, enough for quiet time. Loved especially the ice machine, saved us tons of time and money to keep drinks cool at the pool side and beach.
Our stay went well. The house accommodated our entire family and the pool was great. We did have an issue with the A/C on the second floor. The maintenance person responded quickly. This is a great house for a family with children.

Thank you for your review, Diane. We're pleased the house suited your family and that you enjoyed the pool. We apologize for the A/C issue but are glad our maintenance team was able to respond promptly. We hope to host you again in the future.
An absolutely beautiful interior, plenty of space for 16 adults and children !
Very clean !
Suggestions:
Safety handles/hand rails in bathrooms.
Safety handrails in pool ‼️
This has been our second stay during the past two years 🤗
We DEFINITELY will be back , in the near future ‼️Christina has been the MOST HELPFUL MANAGER , EVER 🤗‼️
Beyond exceptional home for a small or large group. The layout provides multiple gather points while providing privacy when you want to just be alone! The backyard not only provides a beautiful pool & yard but also has a hidden cover sand lot for raining Florida days! The location is absolutely perfect, you can easily reach any beach, restaurant, or activity anywhere in Destin. We will definitely be renting again! Truly a gem!

Thank you for your amazing review! We're so glad the home and location exceeded your expectations. It’s great to hear the layout and amenities worked so well for your group. We'd love to host you again and are so happy you found the place to be a gem!
Wonderful glorious week. Christina was amazing. Some nice to haves would be an outdoor shower (or maybe we didn’t see it) and an out door hose to set up my sprinkler for the kids. Not a big deal. Wonderful property!
First off, our reservation specialist Ellen was so friendly, SO easy to work with and responsive in minutes! This house is absolutely perfect for a trip with friends. Between the multiple floors, it’s perfect for multi-family as well. The house is about a .2 walk to the beach entrance but includes 1 cart and a few beach chairs - no tent which is understandable. Overall, we loved our stay and will be back.
My family enjoyed our vacation and our stay at this beautiful beach home. Our property manager was amazing, from day 1 to end of our stay, even allowing a later check out time due to travel plans. The house was warm and welcoming and beautifully decorated. We had plenty of family dinners and appreciated more than enough kitchen wares to make that happen for our group of 13. The pool was great especially for our younger guests. We appreciated having beach chairs and plenty of sand toys for our kids, that came with staying at the home. We left behind some pool toys too for others to enjoy. Access to the water taxi was an awesome experience! My family truly had an amazing time, highly recommend this home for rental! We had the most amazing stay!

Thank you for the wonderful review, Natalie. We're glad the home provided a warm and welcoming space for your family gatherings and that the pool and beach amenities added to your enjoyment. It's great to hear the water taxi access was a hit as well. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you all back in the future!
This home was very spacious and inviting. It was clean. It is in a convenient, but more private location. It is not directly on a busy street, yet it is close to everything. The beach is a short walk away. The downstairs area was great for the children. It was like their own little retreat. We did not really utilize the area under the deck but I should note that when we stayed, there were beach chairs, pool toys and a wagon. Overall, the place was perfect for us. The driveway was really nice but the photos make it look wider and longer. It was fine for our group.

Thank you for your thoughtful review, Mary! We're glad the home’s spaciousness and location worked well for your group, and that the children enjoyed their own retreat downstairs. It's good to know the beach toys and chairs were useful during your stay. We appreciate your feedback about the driveway and are happy it suited your needs. We hope to host you again soon!
We booked this castle before confirming all our friends were going to celebrate with us, so our group ended up being 6 instead of 8-10. Perfect location to beach & harbor-easily navigated with our rental car & walking. Clean house, very spacious, fun decor, heared pool. Was a perfect relaxing homey atmosphere!
When we needed help/suggestions our maintenance guy was very helpful & accommodating-quick response time to our questions as well.
Only issue was trying to stream phones to tv to watch Thursday night football.
Great communication prior to and during the stay. Easy arrival. Easy Golf cart rental drop off. Property exactly as listed but also some unexpected indoor living spaces and outdoor spaces that were excellent for multiple ages. Kids, teens and adults always had space. House is amazing. No bathroom downstairs so that gang of kids in the bunk beds has to go up to the main floor but not an issue. Ice maker in the home for coolers. All things needed in the kitchen. Chairs, a wagon and beach toys on site and we left 2 boogie boards to add to the collection. The proximity to the beach is excellent. Walkable but easier on a golf cart! Everything is close (grocery, restaurants, other entertainment.) The included Tiki cruise was taken advantage of and was great. We dealt with a power outage on checkout day but the host was responsive and we had tropical weather limit our beach days but this property allowed us to maximize our experience. Not the cheapest for sure but worth the premium ... would definitely recommend.

Thank you for the thoughtful review and for choosing. Glad the communication, easy arrival and golf-cart drop-off worked smoothly, and that the extra indoor and outdoor spaces gave everyone room to spread out. Appreciate the note about the bunk-room setup — good to hear it wasn’t an issue — and that the ice maker, kitchen supplies, chairs/wagon and beach toys were useful (thanks for adding the boogie boards). Sorry about the power outage and the tropical weather limiting beach time; happy our team was able to respond quickly. Thanks for the recommendation — we hope to welcome you back.
Clean rooms close to everything, well laid out floor plan
