We (my wife and I) booked A Garden Cottage for January and February 2014. The intent was to enjoy comfortable accommodation while on a getaway from a harsh Canadian winter.
The house met or exceeded our expectations in every way. Our bedroom was equipped with upscale furnishings and top quality bedding. Bathrooms were bright and spacious. The living room boasted 3 plush sofas which proved perfect for reading, napping and TV.
Being there for 2 months, we cooked many meals. I especially appreciated the well equipped kitchen - all the pots and pans you would need, lots of cutlery, plenty of counter space and list of light. Plus, in the dining area, a big, solid dining table with sturdy, comfortable chairs.
The entire living and dining area is surrounded by windows looking out to the yard and street, making for a pleasant, bright space.
Rental included the use of 4 bikes, which we used frequently on the several mile long beachfront bike path. We also made good use of the barbecue grill, something that is not always available at other Destin area rentals.
Frangista is a pleasant, quiet neighbourhood, one block back from Scenic Gulf Drive and the beach. We look forward to coming back next winter.
