We had a great time. The pool was a huge hit with the kids and proximity to the beach was as good as it gets without actually being on the beach. We had a few minor maintenance issues that were handled immediately. We’d go back for sure.

Our stay at Blessed By The Sea was amazing! The home was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything we needed. It’s just a short walk to beautiful James Lee Beach, which was a huge plus.We loved the ice maker, two refrigerators, and fully stocked kitchen. The beds were comfortable after long days in the sun. The kids especially enjoyed the pool and games in the house. We wished the hot tub was a bit warmer it was consistently at pool temp but other than that everything was perfect. Great home for a relaxing multi-family getaway, we’d definitely stay again!

Great home. Some of the rooms run hot and the internet is spotty, but I never contacted the host about these issues, so not holding it against them. The location is great to get to the beach and the house was so spacious and beautiful. Definitely a great place to stay.

We had an amazing stay! Fourteen of our closest friends and family from the Midwest enjoyed every minute of this beautiful home. The pool, beach, and ocean views were perfect, and the hoe had everything we needed-we hardly left! The owner was friendly and quick to respond to any questions, including local recommendations for a bite to eat. Highly recommend and would absolutely come back next year! This could be our annual trip together.

This house is truly a home away from home. You have everything you need. My family enjoyed the in and outside of the home. The kitchen is chefs kiss!!!! You have all the things you need from fridge, icemaker, space, sitting. The beds were comfortable. Ohhhh and the pool. The pool was so warm it made it so enjoyable for the night time swim.

This home was everything we expected and more! We had 10 adults and 6 kids and it still felt spacious! We had an easy walk to the beach and the property actually accommodated all 5 of our vehicles. The memories will last a lifetime!!

This was a beautiful property with easy access to the beach. There were a few minor inconveniences that my group encountered (outdoor shower didn’t work, hot tub didn’t work, and unable to set thermostat as it had a passcode on it) but overall it was an enjoyable experience and a great house for a large group!

Glad you had an overall enjoyable vacation! From our Nest history, it shows you ran the A/C units at 69 degrees non-stop for the 3 days you were here. We do have a lock preventing guests from lowering it below 69 degrees as it can damage the system. As for the pool and spa, you did not want to pay for heating so it wasn't heated. Unfortunately this does cost extra outside of the months of October - April and due to the high cost, we have to charge for it. It appears the outdoor shower was working fine before you arrived and after your departure. Wish we knew you had an issue operating it so we could have shown you how to do so.

I can't say enough great things about our experience. The home has everything you could think of and things you didn't think about like a commercial icemaker! The views and access to the beach can't be beat. We loved the added security of the gated access. Anyone thinking about Destin could not pick a better place or a better host. Joey was great and immediately responsive.

Great location and view. No working coffee maker and the house needs maintenance. Pictures online do not accurately represent how dated the home is

Sorry you felt this way. To clarify a few things; The photos were taken in January of 2025 so they are accurate. When you booked if this wasn't up to your standards, perhaps you should have booked elsewhere.
You mentioned the coffee maker at the home 4 days into your stay. We sent someone over to correct this and someone in your group said there were 3 others so "not a big deal."
Sorry this was the tipping point for your negative review even though we tried to correct it.

Wonderful house for a large family! Great location across from the beach. The kids loved the pool. Only issue was the ice maker didn't work. The host sent a repairman over but part needed was not available. Great place to create family memories. Perfect for our family! Thank you!

Great Experience and Stay
We booked this property for a girls weekend and it was PERFECT! Gorgeous inside and out, the management is so kind and get backs to you so quickly, and it was the most stocked/supplied home I've ever rented. Truly the best property I've ever stayed out. Location is prime as well! Can't wait to come back.
