I liked the courtesy golf cart that took us to and from the beach. We had a party of 10 and we had enough room for everyone. I would recommend this property for other families.

Great place to stay!
The house was nice and clean! It is very well taken care of. The walk to the beach is not long but wish I knew about the upfront cost at the gate and to rent umbrella and chairs. Which I may have missed when renting. Other than that my crew is ready be back already.

Cleanness was a huge issue.
Next time, the condo needs to be entirely cleaned before a guest arrives. We found a toenail in the upstairs bed on the top bunk which clearly meant the sheets were not washed. Then random socks & trash pieces on the floor downstairs. Truly disgusting.

Lovely beach house, easy access to the beach & bars walking distance. Enjoyed our stay at Destin, Fl
We really enjoyed our stay here! There were 6 of us gals. The location is perfect and close to several restaurants and the beach!! There were a few light fixtures that weren’t working properly during our stay but we emailed management and someone responded timely! Overall, I would recommend this location for your vacation.

Good location and cute house.
The house is cute and in a great location (8 min walk to beach). However, the property owners were extremely hard to reach, I was on hold on the phone for over 2 hours every time I called. The house wasn’t the most clean when we arrived as well. Other than that it was a good place to stay.
