The house did show some wear on the carpets / walls/ fixtures etc. We had to reach out to the owner about the cleaning crew - a wall hanger and the dryer and he was extremely responsive and apologetic. As well he worked fast to correct the issues. The community was beautiful and the proximity to the beach was amazing. For the price and all things considered this was a good price and a great location.

Wonderful neighborhood - 4 min walk to the beach - a TON of things to use for the beach - wagon, chairs, floats, buckets- so helpful! Although it could use some updating overall it is a spacious space with everything we needed! We will definitely be back here!

Would stay again

The house was great, was well stocked, and slept 10 of us perfectly! Would definitely stay again! Close to the beach, and the pool is right across the street if you prefer that.Only room for 2-3 cars, but not a huge deal for us.

The house was perfect! We were so close to the beach, maybe a five minute walk, which made it great for our teens and older kids who could come and go as they please. The house was clean and functional. Best thing was the outdoor shower. Love Destin and can’t wait to go back!

A wonderful family vacation

We had a wonderful stay. The location was wonderful. The house had so many beach chairs and sand toys for the kids. The pool was kiddy corner from the house and very well maintained. The beds were comfortable. Upstairs did stay a bit warm, but it wasn't bad. All in all a wonderful beach vacation.
