Destin Vacation 25

Nice house with lots of room. Pool was great. We had a few issues with our stay. I had completed the paperwork when the house was booked. On the day of arrival, I was asked to complete the paperwork again. The refrigerator had broken parts in the door and the back door knob had to be adjusted due to it was loose. The stove is gas but was leaking and knobs needed to be replaced. Management was always responsive to the issues. Since we could not use the stove they bought us pizza and assisted us with our food cost. A chair was broken and removed from the house. The house needs to be updated downstairs.

Nice beach house, perfect for our family getaway

Very nice stay. The house was perfect for our large family vacation with 6 kids under 4. Everyone had their own space with en suite, pool was nice and shaded in the late afternoon. The ice maker was fantastic and the large tables fit all of us. Very spacious. We ended up arriving a day earlier than expected, emailed to see if it was available and never heard back. Once we called, they were quick to answer. One day we had issues with the hot water heater and called the emergency maitenance number but didnt hear back. Once we called customer service they were very quick to handle, which we appreciated. My feedback would be to use the option for customer service and not email or the maintenance number.

50 th anniversary family stay together

This property was absolutely perfect for our family group of 16.. hubby and I, kids/ spouses, 8 grandkids. They lived in the pool. Walks to the beach 1 block away was awesome. The game room was a life saver when they all had enough sun. 6 bedrooms with en-suite baths so everyone had their own space. The open floor plan works so well with a group. Beds were so comfy. We had gotten a golf cart and plenty to bum around to! Great local eateries. Highly recommend this house.. great location, stocked very well, nice furniture. We were sad to leave, love to come back. Thank you!
