Guest Access:

We will provide you with the gate code and the front door code two days before you arrive. Guests will be provided with nearly everything they need: linens, towels, kitchen soap, detergent, laundry machine, hair dryer, iron, etc. Please note that you MUST coordinate with us if you want to arrive before 4 PM since other guests might be checking out on that same morning that you arrive. When this site says that your check-in time is "flexible", they mean that we can work with you if you request an early check-in; it doesn't mean that you can check in whenever you want and we don't guarantee early check-ins. So please plan on getting our approval for an early check-in time.



Other Things to Note:

WE HAVE NO HIDDEN FEES. Our only fees are clearly listed in several places on this listing: There is a a one-time cleaning fee which is clearly listed by this site. Dogs are welcome, NO CATS ALLOWED, any other type of animal needs to be approved ahead of time.



Rates fluctuate automatically according to a computer-driven algorithm based on supply & demand. But don't worry, your rates will be locked in at the time you pay for your reservation, so if they go up or down, we will not charge you the difference or give you a refund. So no worries - we'll honor your original rates :-)



Verbo guests: As you saw in several places in this listing, our credit card processor takes 3% before paying us, and we do not get that back if you cancel. We will pay back 100% of what we receive if you cancel within the cancellation terms and we owe you a refund, but we will not pay back MORE than what we received (iit wouldn't make any sense to pay you extra out of our pocket when you cancel). Therefore, consider it a 3% cancellation fee.



Interaction with Guests:

We're not one of those big management companies that will nickel & dime you or steal your deposit for no reason - we just own one home in Destin and we rent it out to make some money on the side. There is good and bad to renting directly from the owners: We'll give you a much more personal touch and we know the property better than some call center in India like the big companies use. However, we aren't going to be available to come by if a light bulb is out. If it's a real emergency or something very important, we have a handyman that can come by, but please be reasonable in your expectations since he costs us a lot of money each time we send him out.



We coordinate with all guests ahead of time to make sure their check-in is easy and stress-free. We will send out the check-in instructions 2 days before your arrival. Check-in times must be coordinated prior to arrival to guarantee an exact check-in time.
