All in all the house was wonderful! Spacious for a family of 6! Quiet, peaceful with beautiful houses all around. Property was nice and clean and a great location for a family looking to avoid loud party goers. Please note that when booking this listing we thought we were going to have access

Great home in a perfect location to access the beach, shops and restaurants. The neighborhood is secluded and quiet, yet has great community amenities, especially the pool and tennis courts. The screened-in porch is perfect to cookout and enjoy the evening, as well as keep the insects away. We’ll definitely come again.

This home was perfect for our stay of 8! Rent a golf cart and the beach is 2 mins away. Kitchen completely stocked with everything you need and very clean. The only reason I have it 4 stars was because we could’ve used more linens for 8 therefore doing many loads of laundry. However, that’s not a big reflection on the property itself! Would stay again in a heartbeat:)

The house was great, exactly as pictured online. Only issue we had was with the wristbands for the community pool and clubhouse. Local team made seem as if wristbands would be available same day as we notified and it did not happen until the next day. We stayed in March 2023- they still have 2022 wristbands and our family was asked to leave the pool.

6/10

The house itself, the amenities, the community, and the location was good. But a few take-aways which resulted in a 3-star stay, home is old; change and candy wrappers were found under the bunk beds/trundle; tiles were extremely filthy (left us feeling unpleasant and with black soles); centipedes and roaches showed their presence after the first night; and, gate code only works on the front gate by City Market (vacation property is closer to the back gate).

10/10

Property was great... The only hiccup we had was the initial arrival and using the gate code the mgmt firm supplied. It was an expired code from the month before. Upon calling, they said the code was correct (which it wasn't). We ended up getting a code from another group that was staying in the same complex. Other than that, ALL was good!

This gated community was conveniently located to the beach as well as shops and restaurants. The house was spacious; however, we had several hiccups. When we arrived (at 5am), our code didn’t work for the front door and we spent 20+ minutes waiting to reach customer service for a new code. During our stay, we found the fitted sheet on the pull out bed to have several red stains, a sticky residue on the floor of the bunk bed room, the hot water turned off, the shower not easy to figure out and stains on the living room furniture. We also found our feet to become caked with dirt after walking around the house. Our concerns were addressed by the maintenance crew in a timely manner; however, some of the concerns couldn’t be fixed over night. My request for a compensation to the property manager, Kelley, was never followed up on. Would I stay here again? - At the end of the day, we had a place to eat and sleep but I would search for a different place before booking this house again.

House was lovely; neighborhood quiet, close to shopping and well equipped; however, the refrigerator water filter was dirty and the mattress for the king bed was sunken on the sides and hair was on the sofa and chairs in sitting area. Overall a good stay.

We really enjoyed our stay in this home. It was a short walk to the beach and located in a gated community. The rooms were comfy for my family and we love the screened in porch. The two things to improve would be having a garage opener and the bracelets for the pool were expired. The staff at the community center said we could not use the pool until we had the 2022 green bands. I contacted Vacasa but this issue was not resolved. We preferred the ocean, so not a big deal, but if you are going to advertise the property as having pool access you need to provide the correct bands.

The home was absolutely beautiful. Close to the beach. In gated community that was beautiful and had a community pool the kids enjoyed that was walking distance from the home. It was a wonderful experience for our first time in Destin Florida.

This home was amazing for our family of 4. Clean, spacious and a beautiful screened in patio with barbecue, sink, counter space, etc. Great location and neighborhood. Close to everything. A little bit of a walk to the beach but chose that by design. There is beach parking so we would usually drive. My only issue was with the management company. We have stayed in Destiny East many times(different homes) and never had an issue. The recreation bands in the home were from the previous year and it took days to resolve(bands are needed to use the community pool, basketball courts, movie room, etc). We stayed near the end of March so these should have been updated months earlier. We were denied use by the HOA person at the community pool and they would not let us back until the new bands were delivered. It was eventually resolved but after 3 phone calls and a personal trip to their offices in Destin. They reassured me that we would receive some sort of compensation for our troubles which never happened(I did not ask for anything so thought it was a nice gesture at the time). The management company is responsible for all of this and they failed. Again, BEAUTIFUL home which I recommend but please do your due diligence and confirm all is in place prior to your trip. 5+ stars for the home itself. Hope this helps someone.

The whole house was beautifully decorated, very spacious, the enclosed patio, quiet neighborhood and friendly neighbors. One thing I didn't quite understand was the note left with wristbands if you take one it would be $50.00 to replace.
