Great house/neighborhood

This was our third time staying in this particular neighborhood, and it never disappoints. The home was nicely decorated and very convenient to the beach. The owner is always great to work with. We all had a great week and the weather/beaches were awesome!

Short walk to the Beach

The house was very nice, clean, and decorated very nicely. The owner was nice and responsive and provided all the information needed. The house was a short walk to the beach as well as the pool. A couple of restaurants were within walking distance. Very safe and quiet community.

Fun in the Sun

Very nice and loved the location of the house from beach to pool. The home was nice and only a few things we had to let owner know about. I loved the fact we did not have to unpack our car and take an elevator up to any floors, all we had to do is unpack and move in. The bathrooms were great and beds comfortable. It was great having a Dollar General within walking distance, to pick up supplies we needed. The beach was great and dinning was close. We will be back.

Beautiful property, excellent location, two houses from the pool and 300 yards from the beach.

We are snow birds from Michigan and stayed here for seven weeks. The house was great, met all of our needs and very well stocked. The master bedroom/bath is on the main floor, and the two guest rooms on the second floor. Had friends and family join us, and they loved it as well. Coming back next year.

Great location!

There were 5 kids under the age of 9 and 4 adults. This house was the perfect size for our group. It is located within a short walk of the private beach the HOA owns. There are plenty of beach toys provided as well as a wagon. The owner was very responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommend!

Location was perfect! Short walk to the beach. Nice and friendly neighborhood. Walking distance to the Dollar General was a bonus for us when we ran out of sunscreen or needed ice. The home fit 2 families of 4 very comfortably! Would stay here again.

Great location in Destin and in the Neighborhood

This was a great property located on the beach end of the neighborhood. About a 5 min walk to the private beach. This part of Destin is crowded but this property feels private. This particular house has a great parking space and yard area.

Perfect for families

Great location, only a 2-3 minute walk to the beach. The house was perfect for our family of 4, but would easily accommodate more. The listing was very accurate, and Jackie made sure to check in with us the morning of our check-in date. She was very responsive to any questions we had. A good, clean, problem free house helps make a vacation much more enjoyable.
