So great, we came back!

We came to this beautiful property last year for Spring Break. Loved how it fit perfectly for our family of four. As our teens have gotten a year older, the extra bedroom was perfect for privacy. Very close to the beach and walking distance to stores and restaurants.

Overall this was a great property. Location was excellent. Close to beach, grocery, dining, fishing, everything. Outdoor shower needs a little fixing, but it worked (sprayed/leaked all over unless you hung a hand towel over the shower head connection.

Nice house, quick walk to the beach and shopping

Nice place to stay for a beach vacation. Close to the beach. Recommend if you have a tent for the beach get there early to find a space otherwise you have to rent an umbrella. Easy walk to beach shop and some other restaurants and shopping. Enough linens for the family and nice laundry room to do laundry for the family’s clothes.

Family/Friend Fun!

The house was so cute and it accommodated all of our needs! The grown boys loved the dart board and the teen boys loved the tv/fooseball table. We all loved that it was just a rock skip from the beach!!

Beach family trip

Great location. A short walk to the beach and an easy drive anywhere. The rooms were great. The game room is a game changer. Great fun for my kids. The property manager was fantastic. Linsey took care of us the whole time. My only regret was that we didn't stay longer.

Great Location and well kept property

We truly enjoyed our stay. The beach and pool were both convenient walks and the house had everything you could want. The property was well kept and the neighborhood nice and quiet. The pool was heated, and we met a lot of nice people there. The beach access was a couple minute walk straight down the sidewalk. Easy walk or drive to grocery and other shopping, but not in the middle of the commotion.

Location

Best Nest has the perfect location for the beach - an easy walk to the public beach. It’s a quiet neighborhood with 2 community pools. The house was very clean. We did have trouble getting service for tv’s, but didn’t really need them. The ‘mancave’ was a fun atmosphere, but the air conditioning couldn’t keep up, so it was really too hot for the kids to use the room. Glad we stayed. The location was perfect.

Excellent experience

Love the home! Clean, comfortable, and 3 minute walk to the beach. Destin shops are walkable from the house (Barnes and Nobles, Starbucks, etc.). Only minor complaint was that the code did not work when we arrived. We would definitely consider re-booking.

Cute cute cute

The house was really great! We had 4 adults stay at this property. It was clean and well maintained. The location is amazing. Truly is one of the cutest neighborhoods and so close to the beach. My only complaint about the house was there were not enough supplies. Not even a full roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, zero extra blankets ( 1 very thin blanket on each bed), no leftovers from previous guests such as salt/pepper, coffee filters etc. We had to buy so much little stuff that is just going to be tossed by the management company. But overall… I would highly recommend this property!! Great stay

Perfect family getaway spot

We brought our boys down for Labor Day weekend for one last hurrah before really digging into the school year. This house was perfect for us. Everyone had their own bed, it was clean, neat, and the kitchen was fully stocked with any thing we would need as far as pots and pans, silverware, serving dishes, etc. The location is fantastic, the neighborhood is adorable, and the neighbors we met were very friendly. My sons LOVED the “man cave“ and spent a lot of time out there playing foosball and watching TV away from us boring parents. my husband is a runner and the house is just half a block from a great Boulevard along the beach. Recent storms made the beach water gross and see weedy, but we had plenty to do in and around Destin. Highly recommend Miller Ale House – great staff and the food was always terrific.
