This was a spacious, lovely home. We enjoyed spending our daughter's 11th birthday and Spring Break here. It was enjoyable whether we out to see the attractions or stayed in and just relaxed. The hosts were very accommodating, and they responded very quickly to any question(s) we had. The house was equipped with everything we needed. We have it on our list of "Saved" places to return and stay.

Absolutely Perfect

I can't say enough good things about the hosts, their communication, the home, the patio, the pool and the area. I have rented many places and this was far and away the best of everything. We are already planning our return trip next year!

This place was a dream. It was more wonderful than expected. The pictures don't do it justice. The owners were great to work with and quick to respond. Loved the community it was located in. Will definitely do this property again.

Fantastic Stay

This 3 bedroom, 4 bath was absolutely perfect for our group of six people. Great bunks for the grandkids, perfect bedroom for my son and daughter-in-law and a gorgeous master suite for the grandparents (me & my wife).This was our second trip to Destin (same development both times) and this year with the heated pool was 100% better than last year. It is a great location; short walk to the beach (or very short drive). The host was extremely responsive. We plan to return next year.

Fantastic House

My wife, kids, and I stayed with our friends at this house in April and everything about it was great.... The house had a great layout with plenty of room for all 8 of us... The back patio/pool area was awesome and perfect for hanging out while the kids swam... Would definitely stay here again and I highly recommend it

Wonderful

Our stay at this property was everything we wanted. Very clean and tidy and ready for my family to enjoy! The location was perfect. The only thing I would recommend at the house is a pool heater as the pool was too chilly for the kids to go in and enjoy. We will be back!

Awesome home

The home was inviting and very comfortble. It's in a great location, gated community. We loved that it was within walking distance to the beach. It had everything you need to enjoy the pool and the beach. There is no need to buy or pack a ton of stuff because the house has beach chairs, sand toys, umbrella and cooler for guests to use. We loved that each room had its own bathroom and shower.

Our family really enjoyed our stay here! The house is very clean and the kitchen is stocked with the essentials needed for everyday use. The hosts take great care of this home and it shows. They were very responsive and helpful with any inquiries we had. Our favorite part? How the kitchen/family room open up to the screened in patio/pool area so we can enjoy the heated pool everyday! We would definitely stay here again!

Great house!

The property was amazing. The pool worked out perfectly with the little guys. Beach was close enough, but we rented a golf cart to make the trip a little easier. Dishwasher was said to have been faulty upon our arrival, maintenance was scheduled right away and a simple reset was all that was needed in the end, but the communication with the owner was on point. They delivered paper plates and plasticware before within a couple hours and even added a couple boxes of cookies for the inconvenience. Much appreciated!! Thank you and we’ll definitely be headed back

Great escape from the Missouri winter!

This is a beautiful home in an excellent location. It has been recently updated and is tastefully decorated. The hosts have thought of everything. It was immaculate at check-in. The hosts left us a thorough manual of local amenties and restaurants. We did our best to see it all! Some of the highlights- we had access to the garage which came in handy for golf clubs and coolers. (So nice not to be tripping over that stuff.) The pantry area was huge so we could keep our supplies close and easily available. Each bedroom had a large TV. Internet access was free and easy to connect. This is a gated community so very safe with minimal traffic. We did not use the pool and lanai due to the time of year, but it would have been a great entertaining space. Lovely property!
