Book Family Tides to have the relaxing, beautiful vacation you deserve. We have been going to differant vacation spots in this area for 35 years, our children have grown up having the best of times on the sunny beaches of Destin.

Now we have our precious grandgirls, they are loving it more each time they go. They love how Big Kahuna and The Track are so close as well as just walking a few steps to the pool and beach with private access.

Fantastic Destin House
David you were a fantastic host and the home is beautiful and located in such a great spot. The golf cart was such a bonus and helped us from having to walk to the beach and to close restaurants. Destin's water is probably the prettiest I've seen since Jamaica and I've stayed in other places in Florida and this tops it. The Tiki Boat Cruise was awesome and we all finally got to see dolphins, so beautiful. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much for the hospitality.

Quiet neighborhood
We have stayed in this same neighborhood for more then 10 years. Plenty of places to visit ,eat, and shop. Being from Ohio weather is always a surprise, and it is always a pause to laugh when we see someone bundled up for cold weather when its 65 degrees outside!

Perfect accommodations for our family
This cute little house was the perfect location, beautifully clean accommodation for our family. The fenced in front and back yard was just right for the dog to stay contained . We could walk to the beach and the small neighborhood was gorgeous and not on the busy roads. Defiantly recommend and hope to be back. Thank you!

Perfect Beach Getaway
It started with the immediate and kind response from the owners when I inquired about the property and ended with us extremely thankful to the Owners for allowing our special request with our 4 legged family members and helping to making our vacation exactly as we had been dreaming! For the actual stay: 1 block from beach, which is stunning, one block from Camilles which is and ocenside restaurant with literally the best cheeseburgee ive ever had - both as well as other shopping and dining options are equally accessible by utilizing the golf cart which is included! If we could for sure book this place everytime we're down there i would do that in a heartbeat! More amazing stuff if you ask me :)

Great Location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. House was more than we needed for just 2 of us plus our dog. The proximity to the beach was just a few blocks and the golf cart was a huge plus to haul our beach chairs, etc. The fenced-in yard was awesome - allowing Finn to roam while we enjoyed the porch swing. It is also close to restaurants and shopping. Check-in & out was super easy and host was quick to respond to questions.

Great house
My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect and near everything. The house was clean, comfy, and stayed plenty cold during our stay. Everything needed for our stay was provided or a short drive to multiple stores to get what we needed. The beach is maybe a 2min golf cart ride.

Perfection in Paradise
We stayed here for a week and it was absolutely the perfect location for our paradise beach vacation! The golf cart was extremely convenient for getting to the beach and to visit our other family was staying a few streets over! The location to the beach and the Destin main shops is again, perfection! The house was perfect for our family of 4, as each of our kids had their own room.

Family Getaway
The cottage and neighborhood were very cute. The golf cart was very helpful in getting to the beach and back. We had everything we needed for our stay. The grill wasn’t great… only front half heated. The only complaint I might have is that there’s really not a space for the whole family to gather comfortably. There were 6 of us and one sofa and 2 chairs in the family room. The dining room table is there as well but not particularly comfortable to sit at for any length of time. That being said, the front porch was awesome and we enjoyed our outdoor time. All in all a nice visit. The hosts were very responsive to questions and the check-in/out process very easy.

Great Location & Property
We had a wonderful time. This was our first trip travelling with our dog and going to a place for an extended period of time. It went better than we expected. Clipper Cove was as described. We loved sitting on the front porch watching the world go by. the location is wonderful. Easy to get to, many great resturants nearby. Many places to walk to, the beach is only a few blocks away. So nice to just step out the door and go for a walk. Hope to be able to travel like this again.

Convenient and pleasant neighborhood!
We were there 2 weeks. We enjoyed the front porch and swing. We used the golf cart several times. Our little dog enjoyed walking the sidewalks in the cute neighborhood. The fenced front yard was easy to let her run around. We did not use the back yard as it was all sand . We did not use BBQ as it was very dirty and uncovered on the back deck. We had an issue with internet and owner was quick to respond with help. We did a fair amount of cooking but had to go buy pans at Walmart as furnished ones were not good. Staying that long, the furniture in living room was not very comfortable to relax each night. The house was very close and walkable to the beach.

Peaceful contentment
My husband and I and my son and granddaughter stayed in this beautiful cottage with all the amenities. It was close to the beach and my son loved the golf cart. We had access to the pool and used it. The neighborhood was so quiet . I can’t thank you enough the cottage met all our needs and we were close enough to everything , not in the middle of the party crowd. Thank you so much!
