This was our third time staying at this charming home. The location is perfect, conveniently close to entertainment venues and restaurants. We absolutely love the spaciousness of the house, with its fully equipped kitchen and private pool. And letâs not forget the reserved beach seatingâa definite plus! A huge thank you to Johnny, our incredibly attentive host, for making our stay so enjoyable. We canât wait to return!
We had the pleasure of staying at this house for the second time, and it was an absolute delight. The house felt like home, and the pool and nearby beach provided the perfect setting for relaxation. The private beach was a highlight, and knowing that Chandler had our chairs ready for us made our stay even more enjoyable.
The home was very clean. The layout, pool, and proximity to the beach were perfect for our family. The view from the pool/deck was beautiful. We had a small issue with getting the correct code to get through the front gate but the host was very quick to respond and accommodating. We very much enjoyed our stay!
This property was just like the listing, easy to book and communicate with host. It is super close to restaurants and shops and also the private beach. The guys loved fishing from the backyard.
Very nice property with heated pool (65 per day) in gated area of Destin a couple of blocks from the beach. Overlooks lake. Well stocked kitchen. Artificial turf rather than real grass so need to walk pets across the street to relieve themselves. Wifi/Internet was unreliable. Pool light was not operable.
Hey, Gary! Thanks so much for your 5-star review! Glad you enjoyed your stay! That pool light has never been operable, which is why we do not include it in our description/photos. My apologies for any inconvenience, as well as for the internet, I have reached out to the ISP and the situation has since been resolved! And for the record, it's all right to let pets relieve themselves on the artificial turf just as you would on regular grass, and then clean up after them just the same either way! :) Thanks again for your kind words and valuable feedback, happy to host you again anytime!
This was the most amazing experience. The host did everything to make my stay the smoothest process and very comfortable. I will definitely be back, this was wonderful.
Really enjoyed staying here. The walk to the beach was not far at all and my 2 year old had a blast walking over the bridge. Afternoons by the pool overlooking the lake was awesome as well!
The house is absolutely perfect! Very clean, stocked with everything we needed, and the pool was the highlight of our afternoons. The host were very responsive and accommodating. I would definitely recommend and definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed the great views of the lake and the easy walk to the beach. We took 2 mile walks each morning; then spent a couple of hours at beach each day. The home was comfortable, spacious and nicely laid out.
We went for spring break and this house is absolutely amazing! Very clean, lots of beach extras, great communication with the property manager, and the community is wonderful. We will stay here again!!
Our group was here on a bachelorette trip. We enjoyed the pool, location to everything, beach, etc. The property owners were quick to respond on any issues. The property was as described and in a beautiful setting. We were pleasantly surprised at how close to the beach and the ease of access it was. The rooms were nice and we had plenty of space of our party of 8!
This property was perfect for our family vacation to Destin! Large enough for our family to all have their own space, very well appointed with everything we needed, best of all the outdoor space included a private pool, fire pit, bbq and access to the fishing pond.
Great location to beach and so close to all kinds of shopping. The private beach makes for a nice quiet time enjoying the ocean.The house is VERY clean and well taken care of. Great for small groups or families with kids as the bunk rooms are so fun!Kitchen fully stocked with everything you can imagine and lots of items to use in pool and beach left in garage! Overall it was a fantastic stay and very enjoyable!
