The property was just like the pictures. Very clean and organized, the beds where comfortable. They had everything we needed, including beach accessories and bikes. The beach is about a 10min walk. Very beautiful area! Will definitely stay there again.

The house was very nice and well kept. The kitchen was great with lots of room and all the necessary tools with everything you could need. The golf cart was an amazing bonus. We would never stay in Destiny West without a golf cart and having it included in the price was wonderful. The only down side to the home was the two small bathrooms. One very small bathroom serves up to 6 people and that is not reasonable. The upstairs master is huge (actually too big) and a waste of space in our opinion. The second bath is very small but only for two people so it is workable. We had 8 people and the only downside to this home was the two extremely small baths. Otherwise a very nice place.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback! We're so glad the kitchen had everything you needed and that having the golf cart included added such a great touch to your stay, it really does make getting around Destiny West so much easier. We also appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the bathroom layout, that's really valuable input for us as we look at ways to improve the space for larger groups in the future. So glad you had an overall great experience, and we'd love to host you again!

We had the best time! We enjoyed every minute of the stay! The beaches were beautiful and loved the golf cart! Having the golf cart made it 100 times better! We are planning to have our family vacation here next year and would love to rent this house again! It had plenty of room for our big family! We swim in the pool and they had it set to 85 so it was perfect! The weather was very nice and not too hot or cold! We will definitely be back!

Booking was easy, house was beautiful, very clean, golf cart was a great help, enjoyed the beach chairs, the osprey that stays in the pine tree out back. Well stocked kitchen, master bedroom was like a dream! Only complaint is the furniture in the living room needs replaced or new seat cushions - very uncomfortable. I would recommend staying here, 100%! A Plus was being pet friendly!
