The house was beautiful and the location was great. One block away from the beach and major traffic but easy to walk to. Close to all the shops and stores.

Family Beach Vacation

We loved our stay at Sweet Destiny! The house was perfect for our family of 8 adults and two small children. The short walk to the beach was perfect, and a beautiful community pool just a few steps away too! We will definitely be back for another stay!

Wonderful Stay!

This property was in fantastic shape and was in a great neighborhood! Very short walk to the private beach access. The house was extremely clean, spacious and comfortable.

Great location

Older home but great location. Had a great refrigerator and separate ice machine. I was able to figure out the tv controls within a day. Things to improve would be bedsheets and pillows. We used the community pool daily and it had nice facilities

Birthday Celebration

The place was awesome and we had a wonderful time. There was a minor issue with our stay, but as soon as we contacted the property manager they handled the situation promptly. Would definitely recommend staying their again. Just a minor note, when we arrived we had to go out and purchase tissue, hand soap and paper towels. Given the size of the home, those items should have been available when we checked in.

Not as I expected

The location is perfect. The layout of the house is very accommodating for a family of 10. However, the beds were very uncomfortable, the house was not really clean, some electrical outlets did not work, shower controls in MB did not work properly.
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Mar, 2020
Hello Paula, thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We greatly appreciate your feedback. We want to extend our apologies for this stay not meeting our Southern standard. Had we been made aware of the cleaning, electrical outlets, or shower controls during your stay we would have been more than happy to rectify immediately. We have sent in a work order to get those electrical outlets and shower controls taken care of for our next guests. We will certainly send a manager to the home to check the mattresses as well. We do hope you will give us another chance to give you the vacation you deserve. Thank you again Paula. Kindest Regards, Your Southern Team

Was a great house in a great location. So much fun and house was so beautiful.

We did notice the kitchen was not fully equipped with basic items need to cook full meals. Only one kitchen dish towel. The propane bottle for the outdoor grill was empty. We had to go purchase more at Walmart. House is beautiful and accommodated us and our large group just fine. Little pool on the back porch was nice to dip your feet in. Had plenty of room for everyone to eat and hang out. Great locations to the beach, shops and restaurants. We will come back

This place has it all

Our group had a great Thanksgiving holiday staying at "Sweet Destiny." The house is less than a block from the beach on nice sidewalks, and a short walk from shopping and restaurants. We felt like we were right in the middle of everything we wanted to do. Our teens could safely walk to the beach and our group took an easy walk up to Destin Commons shopping area to catch the Black Friday deals without having to fight for parking spaces. The house, itself, had plenty of room for our group of 13. The kids mostly used the upstairs living area and the adults gathered around the bottom floor kitchen and den. The most popular feature was the heated pool. Even though it was late fall, the water was felt great. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect home for our get away.

Perfect Area and House!

This house is HUGE and beautiful! It was very clean and was stocked with everything we needed. We even cooked two dinners at the house and it had all the cookware we needed. We opted to have the pool heated which was so nice to relax in after spending the day at the beach. This is the second year my family has stayed in this neighborhood and we absolutely love it. This house is one block away from the Crystal Beach Trail beach access. We love that area on the beach and this house had perfect access to it via sidewalks. (There is a third party company that sets up chairs at this access on the beach that you can rent from on your own just FYI!) The rental company was very convenient to communicate with. I had two different things I needed to ask them and they responded promptly. One of the times was even later at night and they still responded quickly. I would 100% recommend this house!

Beautiful Property

The Sweet Destiny was a beautiful property. The house was in the cutest neighborhood. The bedrooms/bathrooms/ living rooms were spacious, linens were clean, common areas were decent. The amount they charge for the cleaning fee, it should’ve been cleaner though. The kitchen appliances were huge. I gave it four stars due to a few items: the pool was not 10’x 20’. Seems like almost half the length in the review but it was still very nice. The alarm to the sliding glass door at the patio has to be hit each time you open the door or it will continue to go off. There was an ant issue in the kitchen and laundry room but it’s Florida and expected. The main road is directly behind the house if you could hear some road noise and young renters behind us late at night. We had an issue with the toilet and the PM team came by right away! Overall it was a great experience and we look forward to staying at this property again!
