Week in Destin
The location was wonderful with a short walk to both a nice pool in the conplex and beautiful clean white beach and clear emerald ocean. Our unit was dated but decorated well wirh everything we needed. Unfortunely, the carpets and rooms were not clean in corners and along edges and we had roaches in the unit.

Great Place to Stay in Destin
Nice townhouse to stay in that is close to everything Destin has to offer. For a place that is rented weekly by different families, it was clean. It could use a few more cooking skillets and wash rags. It was a little dated on the inside, but still nice enough for a great vacation.

Great Family Place
We stayed with our three children (3, 5, and 7) and had an amazing time. It was a very quick and safe walk to the beach. We loved the large table in the dinning room. We played many games of Uno.

A slice of paradise
This condo was PERFECT! My family and I booked with Patrick for a quick visit. His communication was precise, and easy. I felt like I was chatting with a friend I'd known for years. Upon check in, the pace was comfortable, super cute and clean. Plenty of amenities were provided. The beach was everything. Walking distance from the condo. My kids loved the pool too. Such a kid friendly/family area. Loads to do around the area as well. I will definitely save this as one of my favorite spots, and book again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Patrick McCaghren

Host profile image
This is my personal vacation home. I've owned it for many years and keep it clean and updated. Very private yet right in the heart of Destin (see map). Just as quiet and peaceful as the day I bought it! Drive right up to the front door and unload your car (no elevator hassle). Short 3 minute, 200 yard walk to the beach. 290+ positive reviews on VRBO.

You will work directly with me before, during and after your stay. No middleman which typically adds $100’s to the total rental fee. Be sure and look at the total charge (right below the nightly rate) when comparing condo charges.

Hope to have you as a guest soon.
