Going in only because this is managed by a rental property and not by the actual owner. The location is perfect 10/10. Everything is less than 10 minute drive. We absolutely loved the private beach access. The beach was never too crowded. Couple complaints though; No iron, the pool was dirty when we got there, the listing says they provide you with 4 beach chairs but we only found 3 and one was broken. It also says they have 2 umbrellas for you, there was only one and it was broken, it was so old that it was rusted. We had no internet for half our stay. Got there on Monday and it was fixed until Thursday. I understand things happen and internet takes awhile to install. The coffee maker didn’t work but host provided us with a new one immediately. Communication is key and the host was very accommodating so we really appreciated that. None of these things ruined the stay but for the price it should have been better.

Family Beach Trip to Destin

We had a great time staying in Destin with family! The house was spacious and in an amazing location—just a short walk to the beach, which made everything so convenient. Overall, it worked well for everyone. That said, the cleanliness wasn’t quite up to our expectations, and we were a bit surprised by the extra charge to heat the pool per day. Still, we made some wonderful memories and really enjoyed our time together

Hi Chelsie! Thank you for your 5* review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found it convenient and a great location. Not sure where we failed on the cleanliness of the property. If you had let us know we would have been happy to address and problem or issue you found. As far as the pool charge, this is pretty standard as it is veryi costly to heat a pool that size, especially after the colder days. This is just a small way the owners can offset the cost for any of our guest that wish to have the pleasure of a warmer swim. We would love to host you and your family again anytime. Stay in touch and let's make that happen. Have a great summer. Your Breathe Easy Care Team

The house was absolutely gorgeous. Holiday isle is an awesome area to stay. Quiet and relaxing but just minutes from everything. Private access to the most beautiful beaches and discounts to many local attractions. We had a vacation with our adult children and grand children. The whole experience gave us lots of joy. Thank you so much Breath easy rentals.

We enjoyed our stay with friends. The location was within walking distance to the beach and the pool was very clean. It was nice to be right on the canal to fish during downtime. The set up of the home allowed for each family to be on one floor at a time. It would have been a huge plus to have the checkout time at 10/11am for flexibility. 9am felt a bit early but we made it work. Overall a good stay!

great except for the palmetto bugs

the property was great. location was great. it was perfect for our family needs but the palmetto bugs were out of control. the property needs to be sprayed way more often. also property was well worn in some areas like the kitchen and cracked tiles upstairs but did not prevent us from enjoying the space and our time at the beach

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Apr, 2023
Wendy thank you for your review of Capt. Jax. We appreciate your feedback on the Palmetto Bugs. The property does get serviced quarterly and we were able to have them service again during your stay. Unfortunately due to the location of the property being right on the canal the little buggers sometime favor the area a little more than usual in the spring. Not sure about the cracked tiles, but we will definitely have one of our team members do a careful assessment upstairs to see what can be done. Overall, we are delighted that you were able to have a great family/friends gathering during your stay. We hope you will come back again soon. Take care and have a safe, fun summer.

Family time

Everything was great, we had two 2year olds and were a little worried about the canal and the pool but there were many locked gates and doors that put our worries at rest. We would highly recommend a golf cart as the neighborhood is full of beautiful homes all on canals and many facing the harbor walk. It was a guarantee to make the little ones fall asleep in the afternoon and evenings and we all enjoyed the rides!

Holiday Isle Hotspot

Captain Jax was the perfect beach vacation home for our family getaway. Then 10 of us were more than comfortable. The property was equipped with everything we needed. The pool was a perfect size for our little ones (10,7,6,1). The proximity to the beach was great- just a short walk. The private beach at holiday isle is absolutely perfect. It was never crowded and beautifully kept. Our entire family agreed that we will return back to the holiday isle neighborhood in the future. The best part, however, was the communication with the property managers, breathe easy. They were FABULOUS. Highly HIGHLY recommend this group!!!
