Granddaughters first Florida trip

We stayed just down the street from our daughter to help her with the granddaughter. It was the perfect area for us. Walking distance to the beach and easy access to everything you need for your stay. Our place was clean and comfortable.

Family’s 1st trip to Destin

Loved the ease of being able to get to the attractions and stores in little to no time. Couldn’t ask for better, the helpful binder was easy to navigate. My family enjoyed and we were just as comfortable as being home. Thanks

Quiet clean 2 bed/2 bath off of 98, less than three minutes from the fun chaos Destin offers, and the perfect retreat for a business trip in the area. The kitchen has great appliances, every pot or pan we needed, and many spice options. The powerful AC was refreshing when the heat index hit triple digits, and the location was ideal to step away from the sand and dirty windows that come with oceanfront properties. With our unexpected extended stay, the owners were quick to communicate, which was appreciated, as we had short notice as well; but it also allowed us to access their great movie selection and recognize the value of their efficient and clean washer and dryer. Beds were comfy, layout was ideal, and our entire stay at the Golden Dog's Destin Rental offered a relaxing balance to the project stress we were feeling. Great Destin rental property with owners who communicate well and had the freedom to flex with an ever changing schedule. It was ideal for our business trip, but would also be ideal for a family with young children who want a moment away from beach to recuperate from a day in the sun. :) Thank you!!

Great location

Went with my in laws for Labor Day weekend. Great view of the firework show from the balcony. The hosts are great with communicating. Back pier was convenient for fishing without having to go to a public pier or beach. A great place to stay for adult small groups.
