Our family had a wonderful stay at Rory’s beach house! It is a short walk to the beach. The pool is small but was perfect for the kids to play in when beach conditions weren’t great. House is well stocked and the garage surprisingly had numerous beach items (chairs, toys, wagons, etc.). The house was exactly as expected. Overall, this is a great rental house in Destin!

Everything was well supplied and easy to find. The pool was perfect. It was a very easy walk to beach. Only thing to be aware of is that parking in general for this area is tight and this house is no exception. If you have more than 2 cars, you will be playing musical cars a lot but it's well worth it for the location and the rest of the house amenities.

Rory’s home is great for a family with children. The house is well equipped and within walking distance to the beach (even for 3 little ones under 5). The heated pool was a hit with the kids and the garage was stocked with pool floats, beach toys and a wagon, which made the trips to the beach a breeze. We had some issues with the WiFi not working and the pool not heating well but Rory was quick to respond and rectify the situation which allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation. We absolutely would stay here again and want to thank Rory for maintaining such a great property.

This beach house was beautiful! We enjoyed all this home had to offer our family within our week stay! Tons of beach accessories to make getting to the beach and having fun at the beach easier, AND let’s not forget the bikes! We had the best time staying here and swimming in the pool in the evenings! Hope we get the chance to return next year!

We enjoyed this vacation house. It had everything we needed from high chair to a fully stocked kitchen for cooking. The pool was enjoyable every day, and we were able to drive down to the beach and drop off family easily.
