Beautiful home with large bedrooms. Short walk to beach and pool. Would definitely stay here again. The pool area was very nice but the pool in July was very warm in the afternoons. Felt more like a hot tub but breeze at the beach and by the pool was very nice. Beautiful beach and clear water. Very nice neighborhood and the house has two bikes that we enjoyed riding around the neighborhood and it also has a golf cart that came in very handy.

We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO in Destin. Our group included three families with four kids, and the layout was ideal. Each family had its own floor, providing privacy while still offering great spaces to gather.The neighborhood was fantastic. The kids loved riding bikes, and the golf cart made trips to the beach effortless. The beach was even closer than expected—we could be there in about a minute.The home was exceptionally clean, spacious, and well maintained, and communication with the host was excellent.We experienced a couple of power outages that made the house warm for a few hours, but that was outside the host’s control and did not diminish our stay.A standout feature was the terrace, which became our favorite evening gathering spot for relaxing, playing games, and making family memories. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend this property.

Perfect location and set up for our group of 11. The bunk room with all queen beds made it very comfortable for my guys all over 6 feet tall. Perfect amount of bathrooms and the rooftop was amazing at night. Comfortable, convenient, and perfect weather made it an epic trip. Host was available at all times.

Thanks so much for the awesome review! I’m thrilled to hear the location and setup worked perfectly for your group, especially with the bunk room and queen beds—sounds like it was just what your tall crew needed! Glad you enjoyed the rooftop at night too; it really is a great spot to unwind. Comfortable, convenient, and epic weather? Couldn’t ask for more! Thanks for being such great guests, and I’m always here if you ever want to plan another trip. Cheers!
The location was fantastic and was the biggest positive note. The gated community provided exclusivity and the private beach access was far nicer than having to fight for space on the public beaches. The house had everything we needed and had tons of space for our two families (4 adults, 7 kids) to cohabitate comfortably. The house slightly dated and worn in comparison to some of the others in the neighborhood, but was still quite nice. The biggest potential negative to point out that may affect others when booking is the occupancy level. The listing shows “sleeps 18”. Although this is true in regards to the number of beds, the house occupancy level is 14. If you really want to be picky, the property name is a little deceptive. “Ocean Views” only has a small view of the ocean from the rooftop when looking over other rooftops. That said, the sunset view on the other side is fabulous and a great end to a fun filled day.

Hi there! Thanks so much for your glowing 5-star review of "Ocean Views." We're thrilled you loved the location, the exclusivity of the gated community, and the private beach access—definitely a perk over crowded public beaches! It’s great to hear the house had plenty of space for your group to enjoy comfortably.
As for the name “Ocean Views,” we’re glad you enjoyed those rooftop glimpses and that stunning sunset view to wrap up your days.
Thanks again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back soon for another relaxing getaway! FunVacay Team
The rental home was adequate for our needs. The space served its purpose and was clean and spacious. Having full baths for each room was a big bonus for us. We stayed a week and had family in and out of the house. The house is a close walk to the beautiful shores of Destin.

Everything was great! The property and neighborhood are wonderful. The garage door needs repair, but this really wasn't much of an issue. It was easy to lift up and down to get the golf cart out.

Great gone- very big and clean. The private neighborhood is a nice feature- beach was clean and walkable. The location was no further than 20 mins away from most things. The rooftop deck is away especially at night once it’s cooled down.

Thank you for the glowing review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the spaciousness and cleanliness—big spaces deserve big compliments, right? The private neighborhood is indeed a hidden gem, and we’re glad you found the beach as walkable as it is wonderful. With everything just 20 minutes away, it’s like the location has its own GPS for convenience. And the rooftop deck? A true star of the show! Perfect for cooling down and stargazing—who needs a planetarium when you’ve got that view? Come back anytime; we’ll keep it just as awesome for you!
Great house. Only issue was the garage door opener was broken and never heard back from property management.

We’ve done multiple different spots over the years in Destin but this location was the best so far. Private neighborhood and beach were well maintained and getting to the actual private beach from house is 2 minutes via walking at most. House was clean and the layout worked well for a large family of 8.

For a group who travels around America, this is by far one of the best houses we have stayed at yet. Location is in a gated neighborhood right on the beach with friendly neighbors. Beach is quiet and relaxing. The house was very comfortable and we had plenty of room. The roof top was a great feature and nice when the sun was out. Location of the house is 10 min away from any restaurant you want to go to

Got to town early, was able to check in early, comfortably slept 6 adults and 7 kids, golf cart made store trips so easy, literally just over a short block to ocean, beach is full of cool wild life, kids will remember this forever, will definitely come back to this same gated community

We’d absolutely love to welcome you all back to this special community again soon!
1st off they do not advertise that you can not rent your own golf cart for your stay. When I first booked it said it came with a 6 seater golf cart, it was in fact a 4 seater electric. The golf cart only goes to speed for about 10 minutes then it slows down to about 5mph. We had people honking and calling us names because of it. There was a good amount of rain during our last 2 days and the windows was pouring water on the stairs which made it dangerous being we had 4 kids under 6. The roof top door in the beginning only opened up pushing the handle up but why the 3rd day the door wouldn't even open from the inside. The refrigerator did not keep dairy products or drinks cold. The ice machine clogged up and didn't work for a day or two. Garage door has to be manually lifted and closed. There was houses on both sides of us that had major construction going on so starting at 9am you heard nothing but banging, machines breaking concrete, etc. We had a much better experience staying at cottage row and will never book again through this place.
