Everything was wonderful and the beds were very comfortable. The only thing that could have been a tiny bit better was the amount of toilet paper provided for the length of stay and number of people in the house. Michael is a very attentive host and is very kind and easily available for any needs or questions that come up.

The house was really nice, clean, and spacious. It is honestly perfect for the 8 people we had! Super close to the beach and was close to tons of shopping and restaurants. My family and I enjoyed the heated pool the most, I’d say! The hosts are also really nice and hospitable! Very welcoming and they were able to answer every question we had. Hopefully we will able to book with them again in the future. Highly recommend!

First trip to the Destin area. We were not disappointed. Beautiful beaches and great atmosphere. Our home was extremely close to the beach. Golf cart was a great option for travel. The back yard/pool area was a perfect location to relax and be social.
