Excellent location and great house!

This house was a great find! Perfect location, short walk to the beach and easy to work with owner/property manager. I loved enjoying the front porch, coffee in the morning, cocktails in the evenings! I’ve never stayed at a VRBO that didn’t have some spices or even a little olive oil or salt and pepper. I guess it’s a county ordinance law, so be sure to bring your own spices, oils, coffee filters. The house was excellent and I would definitely stay here again.

Graduation Celebration 2024

Property very clean!!! Nice neighborhood with pool. The ocean was so clear and gentle that we didn’t use the pool but maybe twice. The house was very cute; my family loved it! Host was accommodating allowing us to enter the home a little early after a very long drive. Host also added another night on because we loved the area and house so much! Hope to visit again!!!

The house was remodeled this year and looks fabulous. It’s a great area to walk in and the around the corner restaurant, snack bar etc is great. We feel very much at home and comfortable here and highly recommend. The property manager was very available and helpful. We even met the owner who has more improvements scheduled and was as nice as could be.

Couldn’t be better

Location is incredible! Very very close to the beach, you can easily come home if you forgot something! Nicest beach entrance. Camille’s is a 2 minute walk for delicious snacks and coffee. Also very walkable to Destin commons for everything else. Street is adorable, loved walking our dog around the block. Pool is 2 doors down and popular with the little ones. House is nicely updated and has a great layout. Front porch cool and private. Very very clean, easy booking and check in. Bright but not too hot from the sun beating in. Beds comfortable and quiet to sleep at night. Laundry convenient and air con works great. Bathrooms modern. Everything was fantastic! Perfect for us - 2 adults and 2 teens. Thanks for a great spring break!

Our second home

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 stay in this house every year and rent a golf cart during our stay. I love this house because it is perfect for my family of four. The master sleeps well for my wife and me; upstairs, my son and daughter have their rooms and share a bathroom with two sinks. The living room has an oversized sleeper couch, but they must share the downstairs bathroom. This is your house if you have a small family and want to get away for a while. The HOA pool is three houses away, and the beach is a short walk across the scenic highway. This house is tucked away, so sitting on the front porch with a cup of coffee is the perfect spot to soak in the ocean breeze. We love going to Camilles, Captain Daves, the Crab Shack, and an Italian gem called Pazzo Italiano. If you have questions, please get in touch with the management company and talk with Audrey; she will ensure it gets done effectively and quickly.

Would not stay again

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Upon arrival we were disappointed at the outside condition of the house. Multiple dead shrubs line the driveway. Old beer bottles and trash in the shrubs. House is in desperate need of a pressure washing. Front porch was mildew and had broken steps. Inside there was a few loose grapes sitting on the dining room table from the previous guests. All the screens in the house are torn or missing. The carpets are severely stained. Palmetto bugs ran wild in the house killing 15 on our 4 day stay. For the amount of money spent I expected a much better house. It appears that the owners only care about making money on the rental and do not put any money into this house. I would definitely stay elsewhere.

Perfect location

We rented this location for our stay in Destin, we encountered a few issues that caused us to be moved which I am sure most are resolved at this point. We checked in early which was great but the ac was set on 78 and it did not move from 78- after unloading and unpacking it still didn’t move and after it was addressed it was determined that the unit was in need of replacement. Ultimately great house, great location, needs to be able to be locked from the inside. We did have our pup (smart border collie) and our other pup (super smart 2.5 year old toddler) with us, I do note I would not consider the location child friendly as there is no way to lock the door from the inside. So when ever the pup or the child wanted to exit they could simply use the lever handle to do so. We found our pup at the pool after leaving to go to the beach and thank goodness children and adults were there that attracted our super friendly smart pups attention and she stayed there with them, our trip would have been absolutely ruined had anything happened to her and I would still be living in Destin searching. Ultimately we were moved to a different location “upgraded” from one block to the beach and walkable to 8 blocks to the beach with no beach access. Also “upgraded” from a sleeps six to a sleeps sixteen three story house to chase our toddler up and down 4 flights of stairs- little did I know I should have brought 3 stair gates- luckily this house did lock from the inside. The trip was a $2500 dollar wash, we left early.

Everything was as described. Communication was prompt. House is very nice inside. There is a fenced small back yard for the dog that was good. Close to the beach.

Enjoyed our Stay

We really enjoyed our stay and the property was perfect for our family. There were a couple of maintenance issues and from what I understand there will be a remodel of the property soon. The location was perfect for beach access and the nice little café on the corner. The community pool was clean and always ready to have swimmers. We would stay in this property again.
