This house is adorable, inside and out! The decor, bedding, kitchen, and just everything were more than I ever hoped for. The baby had room to run, plus we all had plenty of room to ourselves. The house is cozy, comfy, and welcoming -
The house was amazing. We enjoyed how close it was to the beach. The cleanliness was just ok. There was sand on the floor when we arrived and a pile of sand in the corner in the bunk bed room and there was another dirty issue but I don’t want to say. The owners are aware of it and they personally called me to apologize which meant a lot to me. The cleaning people were suppose to show up the next day but they never did. Overall this is a fantastic place to stay. Especially with a bigger family.

Great stay!
I have stayed here the past 2 years and it has been amazing both times! Ray is easy to communicate with and accommodating! Can’t wait to go back.
House was beautiful, the location was great, and the management team was extremely responsive and helpful. Will definitely plan another trip to Day Dream!
It was the most adorable, spacious, clean and so cozy house. I loved everything about it! It is in the most perfect location and so quiet and family friendly. We did not want to leave. Highly recommend this property to anyone!
We had a wonderful stay! The house was the perfect setup for our family. Loved the brightness of the home & the neighborhood. The location was great with close proximity to the beach, pool and restaurants/shopping. Looking forward to returning!
We had a great time and the location is a short walk from the beach. However the house needs a deep cleaning as the showers were dirty and the sheets seemed like they might not have been switched. Overall it is a nice house with a friendly neighborhood.
Ray is a wonderful owner who has put a lot of effort in making a wonderful place for vacationers to come and have a home away from home. This property is everything it is listed as, and Ray was a pleasure to work with. All positives on everything!
I would suggest renting a golf cart if you carry a lot of bunch stuff. Also, it’s a good place, so the beaches get plenty of people.
The group had an amazing time with this property and will definitely return next time we have this many people. Very walkable to the beach in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. We did have an issue with not having enough hot water for our 12 people to shower every evening and parking was tight for 4 vehicles. The host and neighbors are chill so long as your group does the same.

Great Location - Perfect For A Family
Loved the location, we have stayed in this Crystal Shores subdivision before and it is in our opinion the best location in Destin to stay, close to everything. Community Pool, 15 minutes walk to the beach, 10 minute walk to shopping center. The house is very nicely maintained and perfect for families. The kitchen has lots of dishes, silverware, and glasses, we felt it was a little lite on cooking utensils, but this was not too much of an issue as most meals we eat out, or BBQ’d. The house has a wonderful Propane BBQ. We were surprised to not find some things we kind of though were rental basics in the kitchen like salt & pepper, and coffee filters, but that was our only letdown. Otherwise the place is great.
This was our third stay at Day Dream and we had another wonderful vacation. Very convenient location with restaurants, shopping and beach nearby. Thanks for sharing your house, Ray!
The property is exactly as promised - walking distance to the beach, quiet neighborhood and clean. We didn’t have hot water for the first part of our stay, but it was fixed as soon as I reached out to Ray. The front door is a little quirky but calling the property manager helped us get in. I would return to the property in the future!
This house was perfect for our family! Great location near beach and activities in Destin. The house provided everything to make our stay very comfortable. Owner was very responsive to questions. I would stay here again!
We all had a wonderful time. Everything was perfect from the house and location. Couldn’t have asked for better. Everyone is already talking about doing it again. Also met some of the neighbors and they were wonderful too
