The home was well maintained and clean. We really enjoyed our stay and the close proximity to the beach was a big plus. We had a great time playing pool everyday and set up a fun family tournament. The weather was comfortable and the house worked out perfectly for the family. Thank you!

Had a Great Time

This is the second time we've stayed at this property. Nice change was a new main refrigerator. There were a couple of bathroom sinks that never drained properly and some of the furniture could use an update, but we had a great time at the house and of course the amazing view and close access directly to the beach.

Great Getaway!

Overall, we were grateful for such an amazing location, private beach entry. We were never crowded at the beach which was amazing. The home worked for all of us. There was a maintenance issue while we were there, but they handled it right away. We would stay again.

Amazing

We absolutely loved this house. It was well stocked and the layout of the house worked for everyone in our family. The property management group was very easy to work with. We always stay in Destiny by the Sea but in a different house each time. My family is asking to stay in this house again!

Spacious beach get away perfect for families

The house was just as described. We had 3 families—a total of 14 people and had plenty of room for all people and 3 cars. The location is great with a short walk to the beach, pool, and the Crab Trap restaurant. The neighborhood feels safe and the property manager was responsive to our one issue: the elevator got stuck! I recommend this as a perfect getaway for families!

Amazing beach vacation

We loved this home! We had 3 families and there was plenty of space! Kids loved the bunk room with big TV & pool table. Decks were large with nice furniture! Beach was amazing! Very short walk to walkway to beach. The company that provided the chairs and umbrellas was amazing! We had kids 7, 10,11 & 12. They all loved the beach. Waves were good sized for body surfing and so crystal clear. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was great! Management company was very responsive and great to work with. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back.

Summer 23

Our stay was wonderful. We had two issues one with the elevator which was taken care of quickly and the other which was the refrigerator. The refrigerator was looked at before we arrived and during our stay it froze several food items on certain shelves. Other than that this house and management were perfect.

The house was clean and the kitchen well stocked for a large group, however there were some things that we were surprised to find at the nightly rate we paid. The house is 27 years old and some of the interior finishes are dated and it is showing its age. Some of the paint on the porch rails is peeling off, outdoor cushions are stained, the mirrors in the master bath are de-silvering, and some of the TV remotes didn’t have batteries. Our older guests in the downstairs bedroom had to use bedspreads from other rooms as extra blankets. The large stove was nice, but we couldn’t get the oven to light. The location and neighborhood is nice, the elevator was also a big plus as 3 of us are 80. Convenient to grocery and other shopping, and walkable to several restaurants. Plenty of room on the beach.

The house is really nice and the layout is beautiful. You can see the beach from the house which is nice. We did have some issues which need addressed but it is normal living areas. Electronics in the house need updated, the internet would not work properly and it took a technician an entire morning of our trip to repair. The remotes to the TV's all need updated in each room and adjusted to a more simplistic method of how you function. The place overall is a must stay, and being a landlord is not easy to accommodate all requests, but the team did try for sure. Appreciate all the efforts and help.

Very large and luxurious property. Easy access to the beach. View of the beach is limited due to row of houses between property and beach. Neighborhood is very classy.

Incredible location

The beach access and set up was great! The house was nice and had plenty of room for the three families who vacationed with us. The only issues were with the ice maker in the kitchen fridge and the oven. Neither were working when we got there and we had to adapt our meal plans. Overall, the house was great and the property managers were very responsive.

Nice home just a bit dated

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very clean, well equipped kitchen and good location. The biggest downside was how dated it is. The furniture is very old, worn and dingy, especially in the main sitting area. Also if you like soft fluffy towels and more than one big your own. Towels were below average. Other than that it was a nice property.
