Perfect family getaway
Stephanie was an amazing host, extremely communicative and very accommodating. Property exactly as listed; spacious, beachy, well maintained. Loved the layout (open floor plan with large central common area and all 3 bedrooms separated - and location - close to everything. Well-stocked kitchen and bathroom. We really appreciated having lots of linens and plenty of dishes and utensils. Bring your own beach towels, but other than that had everything we needed. Perfect place for our family of 6 (all adults) to spend Christmas together.

Perfect holiday
We picked Destin as our destination to enable us to visit with our college daughter for thanksgiving. The home perfectly accommodated us and our two daughters-everyone had their own space. The short 5 minute walk to the beach was convenient plus to have the wagon and chairs provided as a nice bonus. Super close to shopping and Whole Foods made thanksgiving dinner easy. And the host Stephanie was very responsive and answered our many questions patiently. She even sent a package that was delivered after our stay. We hope to come again!

Perfect Beach Weekend
We were in town for a college friend's wedding and a group of us decided to stay an extra couple days after finding this beautiful property. Easy walk to the beach, restaurants like Camille's, and Destin Commons. The beach shower outside was a godsend. We spent hours on the porch swing and screened in porch catching up with dinner we cooked in the kitchen. I cannot recommend this home enough!

Perfect location, cute little place!
We traveled for my daughter’s 13th birthday with her bestie. The place was so cute and walking distance to the beach and restaurants. The Host was super sweet and left a cookie cake for Ava along with some chocolates. The little wagon helped a ton carrying things to the beach every day. The only bad thing was that the pool was closed and no one gave us a heads up about it. Other than that, it was a fantastic stay!

Lovely Stay
This house is perfect for a family of 6! It is layed out beautifully with the bedrooms spread apart to ensure everyone has their own privacy. The host was so easy to get ahold of and the house has everything you need! The walk to the beach is about 5 minutes, we rented a golf cart and it was exactly what we needed to run around. Highly recommended.

Great beach house!
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! There was a short 10 minute walk to beach access and the house was well equipped with a wagon, sand toys, and other beach equipment! The house comfortably slept 8 of us and had all kitchen appliances/utensils to eat at home. The house is located in close proximity to a variety of popular Destin restaurants. Would recommended staying here!

A great property close to everything.
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is in a great location, close to the beach and Destin Commons. The house itself is well equipped and housed our party of six easily. It was great having beach chairs and equipment provided, as it saved room in the car. The Crystal Beach neighborhood was really sweet and we enjoyed strolling around in the evening with our pup. The house is close to beach access, we either walked or cycled there every day, in fact we didn’t really use our car much at all, other than going for groceries. I would love to revisit this area out of season, when it is less busy.

The dryer was making a strange noise. Sent a message to the owner and she arranged to have us clean towels delivered on Memorial Day and the repairman came out the next day to fix the dryer. Would highly recommend staying at this rental! Very comfortable unit! We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back again!
