Perfect Family Spot

This was the perfect spot for a family get away. There were 11 of us with room to spare. This location is close to store, restaurants, shopping, etc. The walk to the beach and golf cart made getting to the beach a breeze. It was frustrating to have to claim a beach spot in the early morning. The condos block a lot of beach space off. Overall, we had a great stay and we would love to be back!

Everything was prefect. We loved having the pool house for for my daughter, son-in-law and baby grandchild. The only suggestion I have for the owner would be to update the bathrooms’ shower heads. We were very happy and satisfied with our choice for our family vacation.

Girls Trip 2024

Despite the weather, we were able to enjoy time in the pool, hanging out in the main house and having the space to spread out with the additional pool house space. Everyone loved having the golf cart to run to Camille's for coffee and cocktails and to the beach the couple of times were able to spend time there before Francine decided to arrive.

Great Multigenerational home

We brought our adult children and grandchildren to Destin for the first time. This home was close to everything we planned to visit. The beds were super comfortable and plenty of towels for all 12 of us. We loved having a washer and dryer too. We do however wish beach towels were included. It was an extra expensive as was the beach chairs. As the grandparents we enjoyed the peaceful stay in the well appointed back pool house. Beach was so close and loved having a golf cart. We would book again!!

Great Destin Getaway

We had four generations staying for a week at this beach house and had a wonderful time. The location is a very short walk to the beach and having the golf cart made it easy to transport the older and younger folks (and their beach equipment). The backyard pool was fun and made cooling off away from the beach easy too. The house is large, and along with the pool house provided many areas where people could be together or have some privacy. We had a great time!

Great place for multifamily spring break getaway

We had a group of 8 adults and kids across two families stay here for spring break. The house pool house has way more than enough space to accommodate large groups with large bedrooms, separate bathrooms, etc. Overall, we had a wonderful time, even if Destin’s weather was a little cloudier and wetter than we would have liked. Positive standouts:Communication with host: friendly, prompt.Location: quiet street a very short walk to the ocean, close to a playground, close to hitting main highway for groceries, carryout, etc. but not so close you were even aware of traffic.Golf cart: was great for 6 people puttering around scenic ocean drive!Pool: decent size, clean, very warm with heater running. We had a couple times in which heater had turned itself off or pool cleaner had turned it down, but host was extremely responsive and quick to fix.Grill: nice, large, clean grill hooked right up to gas line so you didn't have to worry about propane running out. Could use improvement:-Living room couches were pretty uncomfortable. Whatever is going on with the springs was giving everyone lower back pain sitting on them.-Less basic needs amenities were provided than any previous VRBO we've stayed in (TP, paper towel, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent...)-Kitchen needs storage items like gladware or tupperware or something with lids. We couldn't find any matching containers/lids and there were no ziplocs, aluminum foil, saran, etc.You won't regret staying here!

Perfect family destination

This home was ideal for our family trip with four kids 1-5, two teenagers and seven adults. The proximity to the beach, restaurants and shopping was great. The golf cart made shuttling little ones and beach items back and forth a breeze. The pool was so convenient. Everybody had plenty of space in their rooms. And the fast response and quick resolution of any questions or concerns by the owner was remarkable. Highly recommend this property!
