So we booked this house on the notion of another friend (that didn't even come on the trip) that absolutely wanted to stay in an oceanfront beach property for the vacation, the others of us wanted to stay at the Sandestin Resort. The pictures were just OK and didn't excite us, but the price was comfortable given we booked last minute.. so we went for it. The pending hurricanes also made us leary to even get on the road, but we are so glad we came!!!! It only stormed Friday night, but the lightening was kind of cool to see across the open gulf water (weird I know).... but the rest of the time the trip was amazing, with perfect weather. I actually want the owners to hire a better photographer and take new pics of the home, because what you have online now, and what the home looks like doesn't compare, it's REALLY PRETTY, super comfortable, and spacious. The location is everything!!! We did walk the street lots, but also getting in the car and going places was easy to the location. We were able to park 4 cars creatively as well at the home, so that was a plus cause not everyone came from the same city. The home even came with a tent for the beach and umbrellas (which we didn't use cause we brought our own), and had planned to rent chairs once there from a local company, but nope.... didn't need to, the home had those as well. The kitchen was even stocked with cute little platters to make your meals present better on the table. The home really was a great treat to us, and the group has already said they want to return next Summer. My ONLY negative about the home was that the air conditioner only worked from about 4:00-6:30 am downstairs in the 2 bedrooms on the bottom level. But thankfully the rooms had ceiling fans, and no one suffered miserably in their sleep.
