Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the home and found it just as described. The second pool is actually on the walk back from the beach, which is a nice bonus for cooling off after a beach day! This is mentioned in the property guidebook.

Awesome Vacation

This property is so nice with everything one needs for a wonderful beach vacation. The beach is just a short walk or even shorter drive and the bikes were a big hit. It was great to be able to take a break from the sand and just enjoy the pool too.

Great Family Vacation

This home and community was absolutely wonderful and perfect for our family. We have three kiddos who enjoyed it, loved the screened in porch and the convienience to the pool and the beach. The Home is decorated beautifully with everything you would need and its very spacious, plenty of room for 5 adults and 3 children. Each bedroom is a big space with its own bathroom and and TV. We loved the customer service from the Property Managers. It was perfect.

AWESOME Retreat

This house had everything you could ask for! It was beautifully decorated and offered all the comforts of home! It was walking distance to the beach and the owners also supplied everything needed for the beach! The kids also enjoyed the pool and the playground! The only thing the house didn’t have was a golf cart, but we were able to rent one after a few phone calls! My extended family and I vacation together every year but this was by far the best trip ever! We didn’t want to leave so we will definitely be back!

Graduation Get-away

Our first time in Destin won't be the last. Two families (4 parents, 6 late teens/early 20s) celebrated our high schoolers' graduation in this lovely home. The "kids" said it was bougie which (I found out) is a high compliment. They enjoyed the bikes and proximity to the beach tremendously. Having a second fridge in the garage was a wonderful surprise as we cooked many meals in the well stocked, spacious kitchen. Highly recommend!
