Loved This Home

We loved the house. My only dislike was the rugs in the livingroom and master bedrooms smelt like a dog urine. We moved them outside until we left. But we definitely loved the house. Very spacious.

Thanksgiving Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is incredible! The location is perfect for us. Not on the beach, but only a short walk away. The neighborhood is gated, and very quiet. We had zero check-in issues, and were contacted our first day to make sure everything was okay. Highly recommend it for a group or large family.

wonderful place, poor communication

The property was wonderful, but having to send your photo i.d. a current photo and a photo of you at the property when you arrived was just beyond anything i have every experienced. Have stayed in Destin 3 times a year for the past 25 years, will not be back to this property. And fortunately we left an hour early from check out time as the cleaning crew was in the driveway waiting for us to leave. That gives you that ...........get the heck out feeling

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect experience! Found the home, reserved it, paid deposit. Contacted later for reminder that balance would be paid with reserved card to reminder to take out the garbage during visit. Loved departure reminder as well. Beautifully maintained home exactly as described. Short walk to pool and beach. Close to everything but lovely and quiet. Two master suites with two rooms for babies on different sleep schedules. We’ll be back!

Overall great experience

We enjoyed our stay. The property was clean and inviting. Beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the backyard for our dogs. Walking distance to the beach. The only thing that was a bit odd for us were the interior doors being fogged glass. Really only an issue for the main bedroom on the main level as it has a view of the kitchen. Probably just a personal preference. Overall great experience and we would stay there again. Thanks!

Beautiful home, top-notch stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this lovely home for an extended weekend getaway and it was truly wonderful in every way. Spacious, clean, beautiful and well laid out for the five of us. The furniture and bedding was extremely comfortable and it felt like home! The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and there’s a pretty little backyard to hang out in. This two floor property provided ample privacy and I loved that there is a washer and dryer on each floor. The decor was all very tasteful and it truly made our vacation extra wonderful! Property managment and the owner were extremely friendly, helpful and prompt in answering any questions, both before our visit and during. I already miss the comfy and spacious sectional in the living room! If you come across this review and are looking for one of the best properties to rent in Destin, this is it. Thank you again for making our stay comfortable. Again, a great home and a top-notch stay! 😊

Great house and community

We really enjoyed the house and its layout. It was perfect for a multigenerational family vacation. Loved the two laundry areas-one upstairs and one downstairs. If you have a larger vehicle it may not fit in the garage, so be aware of that. Two parking spaces are available in the driveway and one is available in the garage. No street parking is allowed. We were provided the wrong access code for the community vehicle gate, but someone let us in and I called the property management number and they called me back with the correct access code within just a few minutes. While my husband and I rented the home we allowed other older family members to stay in the two master suites and we stayed in one of the queen bed rooms. The mattress wasn’t horrible, but it could have been a better quality and firmer mattress for our backs. Haha. Great location and such a nice little community. The swimming pool area is really nice and it’s a short walk to the beach. The restaurant that is located on the beach that is a walkable distance from the house is really good!!

We had amazing time. Great location. We did rent a golf cart. Amazing yard for the dogs. Beds super comfortable. The tvs were very confusing to work. I wish the host would put Rokus or fire sticks in every room. Besides that, we had the best vacation. Definitely would book here again!

So disappointing

Arrived at 4:30 pm. Was notified refrigerator was not working. Brought us a freezer but we couldn’t fit what we brought. Lost a ton of food. Beds not made, bathroom dirty upstairs, cleaning rags left on floor. Couldn’t use back yard because piles of dog poop had not been removed. On 4th day, maintenance man came and cleaned it up. After driving 12 hours, we sure didn’t appreciate coming into all this, plus incurring the expense of having to eat out after losing half our groceries. Plus ice maker didn’t work after they got refrigerator going. We had to run after ice all week. Fridge Was barely cold all week. Then VRBO thought 500 was a fair amount to refund me after putting out almost 7k for the week , it took me 11 months to save for this vacation and it was so frustrating to have ALL these things to deal with. I’m usually not one to complain and try to find the good in situations, but when you charge PREMIUM prices, I would expect premium customer service and that just did not happen. This might be more acceptable when paying 2-300 a night but when paying over 600 a night, my expectations were higher. What an insult for a refund.

Great house…fridge/freezer issues

We experience fridge/freezer issues the eintire week. Fridge never got below 47, freezer was not able to make ice all week. Great house, but huge inconvenience for us all week...planning meals around it, running to store to just get what we need for the day and trips to get ice everyday. A lot of stress & time spent talking to property mgmt/service teams, for what was to be a relaxing vacation. Just imagine your own house without a functioning fridge.
