We loved the convenience of the location and having the golf cart. However, the vacation rental company needs to look into a different cleaning service. There were several dust, bunnies, roaches, and believe it or not lizards inside the house. I know it is summer in the south, but we feel more could have been done.
Our family had an amazing time. Enough room for us to spread out and enjoy the pool. The golf cart was
awesome and saved us with easy parking multiple times with the beach and beachside restaurants!
Overall a good place but needs more attention to cleaning
Upon arrival, we noticed the house wasnât cleaned thoroughly. The floors hadnât been swept well. The comforters were dirty, sheets had stains on them. I contacted the host and she was quick to respond and sent the cleaners out to change the linens. Other than what was mentioned, we enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood was nice and we enjoyed having the pool in the backyard!!
The house was in a good location, close walk to the beach, golf cart was amazing driving around. Pool was nice but needs some work, house could have been cleaner, but over all I give it a 8/10.
Beautiful home, close to beach, perfect for our family of seven. Having a pool at house was nice for when we wanted to be at home. Golf cart was fun to drive to beach and to dinner. Would love to come back and stay here in the future.
Everything was great. Nice, clean house. Family enjoyed the pool and the golf cart. Parking was a little tight for two vehicles but overall a great place. We would definitely stay again.
Weve stayed in this neighborhood for the last 3 years but decided to try a different house because the backyard was bigger. The house was not bad but needs updates. There was some food on the living room floor, pool not clean and the internet didn't work for 3 days.Property manager was helpful. Regardless we love Destin and this location is great. Golf cart is very rusty and loud as well. Dont think we'll stay here again but it served its purposewoeking.
This was the best vacation!!! My adult children with a spouse and 6 month old baby stayed here and we loved it. Easy checkinâŠ. All was spotless. We loved having our own pool. Jessica was the best host. She answered all my questions quickly. Beds were comfy and we all slept so well at night. Definitely thinking about a return trip next summer!!!

The house had everything and something for everyone pool, walking to beach, lots of restaurants and so much to do and see we only had 7 days. We should of spent 2 weeks .
Plenty of room for us all there weâre board games and puzzles. Backyard was great had fenced in yard for our dog. Deck had grill and big enough for us all. Pool was clean and not heated but the weather was warm enough for us to use.
I will be back to this beautiful home
Thanks for having us

Destin is beautiful and the neighborhood where the house is located is perfect. The walk to the ocean was very short. The golf cart (is rusted in the back, so is really a 4 seat not a 6 seat) but perfect for us as we traveled with 4. The area is perfect to travel and get everything you will need with the golf cart. The house is beautiful. Thanks for letting us use your home. One thing that would be nice is a few beach chairs and an umbrella for the ocean (as a wish list), but overall we had all that we needed. thanks again from Ohio
We enjoyed our stay at Tuscan Sun in Destin. Comfortable home for three people. The deck and pool area are really nice for the morning hours. You can easily walk to the beach and the golf cart is handy for quick trips. Cleanliness was overall good, but found two dead roaches and some children's toys under different beds. The bathrooms are on the small side. The kitchen is lacking in dish towels, so bring your own if you don't want to be washing them all the time. Property manager was quick to respond to questions. Would recommend.
Property is in need of many repairs. The house was dirty. I had to mop all the floors. The kitchen is tiny and no where to store your groceries.
The Golf Cart seat was broken from rust. The front door lock would open, but wouldn't lock from the outside. We had to use the side door all week.
We were disappointed at the condition of the house.
We absolutely had a great time. We would do it again. Loved the house but it is NOT a 4 bedroom. The bedroom on the ground floor doesnât get cool. The AC canât cool it down. My husband stay home about 6 hours waiting for someone to come and fix the golf cart. He is a mechanic so he decided to take a look at it after waiting. He fixed it but its going to keep happening. The house is close to the beach and we loved that!
Let me start off with the owners being great. They worked with us when we ended up in a sticky situation and answered all questions promptly. The location was great and overall, the house was pretty good. The cons we had were the washer and dryer definitely need replacing. I took a video of the washing machine rocking so hard, we had to literally keep putting it back in the laundry room. We ended up only using it twice because we figured out it wasn't even disolving the laundry pods and the clothes weren't actually being cleaned. We had to run the dryer 3x for each load, for the clothes to be dry (this was just normal size loads). My husband was a contractor for almost 2 decades and he picked apart everything in the house being done "incorrectly". To be fair, a normal person like myself, would have never noticed the stuff he was noticing. Several things need updating. The drain plugs and faucet handles were pretty molded. We actually didn't end up using the pool but once for maybe 20 minutes. It took a while to convince the kids that it wasn't dirty, just the paint had come off of the bottom and sides. However, the hose was in the pool and running when we arrived and it was so cold the entire stay that it wasn't tolerable. My husband had to clean out 2 grocery bags worth of leaves from the clogged pump. There was only 1 roll of tp for each BR. Honestly these were just minor suggestions. None of these things were enough to negatively impact our stay, and we had a great week.
Golf cart wasnt in the best of shape breaks hardly work, 2tvs didnt work in the bedrooms, there is mold in upstairs bathroom, bugs, the gril was left dirty and didnt work! The kitchen doesnt have vent system for cooking so when using the stove it will get smoky in the kitchen. Someone shoved paper towels in the vents in master bedroom.
The good- it accommodated 5 people and 1 pet.
Everything worked as should but the 2 tvs.
Easy accsess to the beach.
The house was clean and fresh smelling upon arrival and was available earlier than check in which was great for multiple arrival times with our family. The location was perfect, close to the beach and restaurants. The open concept living room, dining room allowed for great relaxing time with everyone.
Some recommendations would be to update listing information. The propery was listed as having a gas grill, but that was not the case. The propery recently purchased a charcoal grill for the home. The grill was nice, but was inconvenient. The weekly pool cleaning could have been better. There were no cleaning supplies provided so this was something we did need to purchase clean kitchen counters, stove or sinks for our stay as well as check-out. Overall we highly recommend a stay at Tuscan Sun.
Horrible Stay â Neglected Property and Incompetent Management
Our stay was a disaster from start to finish. The house was infested with roaches, the master bathroom leaked into the kitchen below, and the second upstairs bathroom was unusable due to dog hair clogging the drain. The pool was dirty, the golf cart was rusted and non-functional, and even the towel bar fell off when touched. The entire property is in a state of neglect and desperately needs repairs.
Basic amenities were completely missingâno soap, shower gel, dishwasher soap, or even salt and pepper. We had to make a grocery run just to take a shower. There were no extra blankets to deal with the freezing temperatures downstairs, caused by the thermostat being located upstairs. The TV remotes didnât work initially because they were missing batteries and battery covers.
The check-in and check-out process was equally frustrating. The instructions didnât match what was listed in the house versus the website. We waited 30 minutes outside just to get in the house. Because the code was changed and we were never informed.
Pulled into the driveway with 2 dirty, wet mattresses along with trash. The landscaping was a disaster, dog feces in the yard and pool was dirty. Golf cart completely covered in sand and only went 13mph. We had a near accident when someone tried to pass us. A street legal golf cart should be at least 25mph despite what the host said. We have a personal golf cart and previous homes rented have had one. Had to reprogram 2 TVâs and replace batteries. Fitted sheets did not fit 2 of the beds. The host did send someone to get the mattresses, partially clean the golf cart and told us the pool is cleaned twice a week⊠no one came out. Landscape company showed up and to quote them âthis is a messâ. Clearly this house was not inspected prior to our stay. Destin has been our vacation spot for over 15 years and we have never been more disappointed.
This house was in a prime location. The beds were comfortable. Spacious enough for 4 adults, a teenager, and a toddler. Even though the listing shows and says thereâs a grill, we arrived and expected to be able to grill. The grill was disgusting and then didnât work. We contacted the property manager who said they would try to get one but we didnât get one in the time that we stayed in the house. To be fair she said they would be delivering one the day that we were leaving but that didnât help us. The rules of the house stated that youâre to clean your grill before you leave, that grill did not look like it had been cleaned in several months. The house had a rug that we had to roll up as a soon as we got there because we had an adult trip and then the toddler fall. Itâs a great house just needs some TLC. Bring your own frying pan. They have some pots and plenty of cooking utensils/ bowls but no frying pan. They did provide towels, and lots of pillows.
