Perfect Family Vacation!!

We have been coming to Destin for 25 years and this was one of our best vacations to date!! The house is perfect for a large group, short walk to the beach and easy access to shopping and food. It was very clean and up to date with a well equipped kitchen. The neighborhood pool was close and great fun for the kids. We look forward to coming back next year!!

Quiet getaway

This house was the perfect getaway. In less than an easy 10 minute walk, we were on the beach with our toes in the sand! The house was safe and provided all of the amenities as promised. Mattresses were comfortable and we slept well. We will definitely be back!

8 minute walk to Beach!

House was perfect! We had 7 adults and one child. Kitchen was well stocked. Grill worked. Owners were very responsive to questions. Only negative was the pool - good size but the water was extremely warm. Even after a rain, still warm, like it was heated(but not just from the sun)!

Family Vacation

We had 11 adults and the house was big enough for all of us. There was an issue with the faucet/sprayer, but someone came by and replaced it as soon as they could get parts for it. Easy walk to beach! Goatfeathers across the street is a great place to buy seafood if you want to cook it yourself. Did not get to try the restaurant, but it was always busy. Ice cream shop across the street was a refreshing treat in the evenings. The pool was also a nice spot in the evenings and usually did not have many people. Great location away from the traffic/people in Destin. Will stay here again in the future.

Great location

Nice property located about .4 of a mile from the beach (walk or ride a bike). House was good for our family of 6 adults, and 4 children ages 18 months, 5, 7, & 11. House really needs a pantry as there is no storage for canned or dry food. Also, toilet in master bedroom needs to be fixed. We did call to report a flushing problem & maintenance guy was out to snake it, but it didn’t really solve the problem. Having said all this, we would definitely come back…great access to beach!

Family trip

Great house in a great area. First time renting a house like this. Kitchen had all the amenities. Advice for changes-Swap out the electric griddle and the kitchen pots and pans that have the non stick coating coming off them. Change them out with regular pots and pans. Also, couch and rug in Living Room were spotted. Things that were great-(otherwise) kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. A/C, hot water, plumbing and appliances all worked great. Thank you!

Captains Quarters

I have to give our stay a 5 out of 5. We had the best experience . The house was welcoming, decor was spot on with beach theme. The house was clean and we had plenty items to start our vacation. All appliances were in excellent working order.The upstairs bedrooms were on separate ends of the house, that helped since we had 1 year old grandsons. They didn’t wake each other up. Both upstairs bedrooms had bathroom in close proximity to their rooms with a bonus sitting area up there as well. Walking distance to the beach about 10 minute walk. One little complaint was the pool. The temperature of it was extremely hot, it was not even comfortable to be in. Other than that awesome!

Super clean…but beds need to be replaced

Hello! This was the cleanest rental we ever stayed in! The kitchen was well stocked and we appreciated that the grill was in good shape. The maintenance man was there when we arrived hooking up a fresh propane tank. We had plenty of towels too. Unfortunately, the beds in every room were uncomfortable….VERY uncomfortable. They also made too much noise when we moved. Please change the mattresses and we will rent this house again! Also the only TV that had service was the downstairs one. Consider noting in your property description to bring your own streaming device (Fire Stick, etc.). Thank you for sharing your home with us and we hope to return soon! Bonnie

Captain’s Quarters Fit for an Admiral

My extended family and I had a great week at Captain’s Quarters. The property was well maintained and comfy throughout. The room configuration allowed the little ones to be separate from the adults yet close enough for access if needed. The beds were especially comfortable allowing for a great sleep between adventures. The property has excellent access to the beach. The little folks found many shells and the clean sand made super sand castles. It is also very close to great venues for meals and entertainment. We found some very nice family music entertainment a couple of evenings. The general ambience of the area was relaxing. We enjoyed watching folks walk their dogs, bike around and some golf carts safely cruising by. The traffic was not threatening at all. Although we spent most of the time at the beach, there was also a pool 100 yards away that was adequate in size, clean, and well maintained. A very nice experience that I would recommend to anyone for a relaxing few days, a week, or longer (also had good internet access that allowed me to reluctantly work via a couple of Zoom calls. I am ready to go back for the winter! Absolutely no complaints!
