Premiere location on property, short walk and shuttle to clean private beach. Great house with plenty of room and toys for the whole family. A fantastic find in the middle of it all :)
6 adults, 6 children ages 8 mo - 9 years old. Plenty of room for 3 families. 5 min walk to beach, great restaurants, fun times. Don't hesitate to book this home.
This vacation home in Destin was absolutely perfect! We had 3 families in our group and found that there was plenty of room for everyone. The location was fantastic, close to both the beach and pools. The home was beautifully decorated, and the host was incredibly accommodating. They've thought of everything to ensure that your stay is as enjoyable as possible. We can't wait to book this house again!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Yes. Everything was great except the oven. Either Housekeeping sprayed something in the oven and didn’t wipe it out or the last renters spilled something in it and didn’t clean it. After turning on the oven to pre-heat, the house filled with smoke, the smoke detectors went off and it stunk. We cleaned it out, my daughter got burned in the process, but did get it operational. Other than that, everything was greatest!
