Beautiful place and pool was awesome. The only thing missing is a golf cart where most of the houses provide one with the rental but we rented our golf cart and it was perfect also. I loved being able to bring our small dog on vacation with us. We will definitely consider this home again.

''The house was very clean, and i loved that it had its own private pool. The kids had so much fun swimming and playing in it!'' The only thing that need to be fixed is the drain in the kids bathroom tub. But we had fun!!!!.

Hi Adel, I'm glad you loved Saige. I wish you would of told us about the drain in the kids bathroom tub. We would of fixed it immediately. We take 5 Star reviews very seriously and do not feel that a drain warranted a 4 star. Thank you for staying with us and in the future...if you need something reach out and it will be taken care of. Renda
We really loved this house and Renda was an amazing host. We had everything we needed. The pool and hot tub were awesome for the few chilly days we had- both heated. The walk to the beach was short and we had tons of options for food all around us. Would love to go back!

We had a great time in Saige Place. Destiny East is a lovely neighborhood and Renda and Greg are very attentive managers. Can’t wait to come back again!
My mother and I spent a week at this rental and couldn't have asked for a better vacation! The pool was incredibly relaxing, and the hosts were kind and responsive. The beds were very comfortable, making our stay even more enjoyable. We had so much fun at the house that we barely ventured out to explore the local attractions.My mom has difficulty with her knees, so it was wonderful that the pool had easy steps and a handrail, plus it was heated to the perfect temperature. The house was also very accessible, although we did need a stool for the bed for Mom. We're already looking to book our next trip!

This was one of the nicest properties that we have stayed at! We had an amazing week! We didn’t have any issues or complaints. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked. The kitchen had everything we needed. There were pool toys and floats and also beach gear and toys in the garage. Renda is so sweet! She was super easy to communicate with and made sure that we were just able to relax. We will be renting with her again this coming year. The Destiny East community Is beautiful, safe, and close to everything.

Overall we were very happy with the house. It was very clean, the rental agent was responsive, close to the beach, and a great neighborhood. The only complaint was that I thought the separate "hot tub" in the backyard was a true hot tub that could be heated independently. It's actually just an extension of the pool. I guess the Hot Tub in the listing refers to the one at the neighborhood pool. Nonetheless, we were able to heat the whole pool so that it was plenty warm to swim in despite the cooler weather (which was great). It was close to the beach, although we drove as it was a bit longer of a walk than I would prefer if carrying a lot of beach gear. The beaches were beautiful. There were only 4 pool towels for our reservation of 5, so would recommend bringing your own. It was a great place to spend the week.

Hi Rebecca! Thank you for your review. Yes, the hot tub is for the community. We have ordered new and more towels for this season so moving forward there will be 10 beach towels there. You guys were perfect guests and we appreciate you so much. Don't forget us!!! Renda
We had such a wonderful stay here in Destin with our family of five (two adults and three kids). The house was exactly as advertised - very clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked. All of the amenities made the trip especially easy and enjoyable. The pool was heated just as we requested, the community pool was fantastic and never crowded, and the beach access was incredibly close. Our kids loved having the sand toys and beach chairs available, and the golf cart we rented with the house was absolutely clutch for getting around. It really made the whole experience feel relaxed and easy. The only small suggestion we’d offer for the kitchen would be adding a nonstick skillet for making eggs in the morning and possibly an extra dish towel. With only two and no drying rack, we found ourselves using one for drying dishes and one to lay them on, leaving none for drying hands. That said, these are very minor things compared to how great the stay was overall. We truly had such a great trip, our kids loved it, and we would absolutely come back again!
