Let me begin by saying that I didn't contact Ocean Reef management directly. Why? I didn't contact them because others before me complained about some of the same issues I had and nothing has been done. The deadbolt on the front door? Still doesn't work. Dirty floors? Still dirty. Toilet in downstairs master runs 24/7. Don't sit on the living room furniture. It all reeks of urine and is seriously outdated. Only one smart TV in the place. We had to buy Roku sticks for watching anything other than the one available channel. Patio furniture is literally falling apart. Dryer takes 3-4 cycles to dry and the washer reeks of mold/mildew and sounds like a fighter jet when it is running. Ice maker makes ice, but won't dispense it. If you like FIRM beds, this house has you covered. Grill was nice. Location was great. I wish I had more positives to report. I feel like I was robbed of nearly 4000.

The space of the house was great. Upon entering the house wasn’t deep cleaned. Sand on the floor. Which we understand - you are at the beach. But tables and counters were dusty. We did find a few bugs in the bunk bed sheets. We had to wash everything. Dryer took very long time to wash. The sink in kitchen backed up on the second day. They did send maintenance but it never worked even after being told it was fixed. The dish washer smelled like absolute sewage. The pool was nice. The yard guy came one day and blew all kinds of debris into the pool and left. The outdoor furniture is all falling apart.

Great property

This property was clean, cozy, and comfortable, it was very spacious for everyone to have their on area. Only downside is that they really need to switch out the jean couch for a new one, that couch has to go. Overall everyone in my family truly enjoyed their stay and we will definitely stay there again. Plus it was a close walk to the beach.

Great stay. This is a winner.

House was situated perfectly. Just a short walk to the beach. Everyone in our group had their own space because, of the size of the house, each room had it's own bathroom. The deciding factor for us was the pool, the outside space was big enough for everyone to have enough room to play and swim. Loved the theater room to relax with a movie after long day at the beach or shopping. Will definitely book again when I am in the area.

Beautiful clean home that exceeded my expectations! The property managers communicated very well during the planning process. We were able to check in early because the property was ready ahead of schedule. If we ever come back to Destin, we would definitely stay here again.

Christmas Beach Stay

The Beach Basket property was really nice & roomy. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out & have their own space. The basketball court & movie theater room provided lots of entertainment for the kids. The pool was nice but the weather a bit too cool for us to swim much. There were a few things I felt that the property could have had on hand, such as pot holders for getting pans out of the oven, kitchen dish rags & batteries for the remotes. Although the Ocean Reef staff was great to bring us some batteries & trouble shoot the projector screen after we arrived. The location of the property was only a few blocks to the beach, which was really nice! Overall, a great Christmas vacation!

Nice property with plenty of bathrooms

Decided to stay here with family for our last summer vacation before school. We absolutely enjoyed this place. Beautiful property with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms which was a plus!! Also had a washer and dryer which was very convenient. Only thing that sucked was that 1 of the basketball goals was broken. Also, many of the tv remotes were missing backs and batteries. Pool was also dirty when we arrived but pool guy came by with no problem. Overall, place was awesome. Highly recommend.

Our Best Vacation Yet

The home was exactly as described. We had a short walk to the beach which was perfect! We had more than enough room for our group of 13! Ocean Reef was easy to work with, and super accommodating. One thing i will say, bring extra silverware with you! That is our single complaint. With that said, we are already discussing booking this property next year!

Awesome!!!

The stay was fantastic! The house is big enough for everyone. We were 12 guests! and everyone had an amazing time. I only wished we could've stayed longer! The house is so spacious and the private pool is amazing! There is also a basketball court! I totally recommend this house for big families! I liked that if I had a concern, the people in charge of the property were quick at responding with solutions!
