We had a family of 12. It was more than enough space to be comfortable. The vrbo was perfect. Communication was great and quick. I had a question and someone reaponded within 3 minutes. The layout was perfect. It looked just like the pictures. The location was great. Modern appliances and furniture. Well worth it.

Beautiful home on the bay! We were five older men on a golf trip. The home suited us perfectly. We each had a comfortable bedroom, The home is very spacious, with the kitchen dining and living area on the top floor. It has a beautiful view of the bay and a super nice deck and dock. It is in a very quiet neighborhood and near all the the main activities and restaurants Destin has to offer, I would definitely stay here again!

House is beautiful, host takes about 16 hrs to respond so please keep that mind. Checkout is at 10 AM but the cleaning personnel arrives around 9:40 and if you’re not out by 9:45 you’ll get a threatening call by a dude named Mike who’s certainly inebriated. He called me threatening that if we didn’t “leave in 4 minutes” he would call the authorities and have our stuff thrown out. I told him he was very rude and unprofessional and asked him to lower his voice and explain to me what was going on as I was confused by the very threatening and aggressive call. He hung up. Thankfully we were ready by 10:00 AM which is the checkout time. Never coming back. Otherwise pretty house, lots of stairs so keep that in mind.

Thank you for acknowledging that the home was beautiful. However, we would like to clarify the checkout situation, as the timeline described in this review does not match the information provided by our property-management and housekeeping teams. The guest requested a late checkout but was informed that it could not be approved because another guest was arriving that day and the property had to be cleaned and prepared. When the housekeeper arrived before 10:00 a.m., she remained outside and waited until the scheduled checkout time. The guests reportedly told her they had been granted a late checkout because their flight was later, but no late checkout had been approved. The housekeeper continued waiting after 10:00 a.m. and contacted her supervisors when the guests still had not departed. Management did not become involved until approximately 10:30 a.m. or later—well after the scheduled checkout time—not at 9:45 a.m. as stated in the review. We take any concerns about communication or professionalism seriously. However, we also ask guests to respect established checkout times, particularly on same-day turnovers when our housekeeping team has a limited amount of time to prepare the property for the next arriving family. We’re glad you otherwise found the home beautiful, and we regret that the checkout situation affected your overall experience. — Best Beach Getaways

I have no wifi and TV for 2 days. After check out . They tried to charge me $300 extra for not flushing the toilet. And told me that we broke a chair. I called them for proof but I never get a single call back or a proof!

Most Amazing View Ever

Overall this was an excellent choice. I Only have 2 complaints. 1. Not Enough pillows for the additional beds. 2. Tv connections are worthless in 2 of the 5 bedrooms. One room has no tv at all. Other than that, every other aspect of the house is gorgeous with great amenities.

I knew this home would be amazing when I saw "water taxi" in the title. Initially, we had to adjust to the many stairs in the house, which provided great exercise. However, we quickly moved past that, especially when we discovered what the home had to offer. The property is located directly across the water from the Boardwalk, which features a variety of shops and restaurants. During our stay on Thursday, we enjoyed fireworks from the patio, providing a perfect finale to our day. I only have two recommendations: first, it would be beneficial to install a ceiling fan in the living area, as it can get a bit warm when using the oven. Second, the photo for Bedroom #2 should be updated; it shows a couch and a twin bed, but a bathroom and closet has been installed, which are great amenities (still give them 5 stars). If you are planning a trip to Destin and need accommodations for a large family, I highly recommend considering this home for your stay.

Father's Day Getaway

Had a wonderful time with family during our Father's Day Weekend Getaway. Property was wonderful with the exception of the fact that the air conditioning unit was simply not adequate for the size of the property. We followed instructions and kept the temperature at 72 however the bedrooms (especially the downstairs bedroom with two queen and one twin bed) were uncomfortabaly hot overnight. Housekeeping can definately step up their game as there were two dirty pans in the oven, coffee grounds in the coffee maker and sand on the floor in the downstairs bedroom upon check-in. Additionally, the bottom of our feet turned black when we walked around indoors barefoot. That being said, the property is beautiful and is located in the perfect spot. Lots to do within a very short distance. Riding the water taxi (while expensive at 19/head round trip) was a fun novelty.
