The home was very clean. The layout, pool, and proximity to the beach were perfect for our family. The view from the pool/deck was beautiful. We had a small issue with getting the correct code to get through the front gate but the host was very quick to respond and accommodating. We very much enjoyed our stay!

Our group was here on a bachelorette trip. We enjoyed the pool, location to everything, beach, etc. The property owners were quick to respond on any issues. The property was as described and in a beautiful setting. We were pleasantly surprised at how close to the beach and the ease of access it was.

Good visit and stay in Destin

It was great to spend time on this property in Destin. The property was clean and convenient to local stores. We had a great time with family and friends during our stay. I hope to be back sometime soon. Thank you, Johny, for your quick response to our needs. One minor thing - an extra roll of toilet paper for each bathroom would be helpful.

Absolutely love the property. Everything was clean and tidy. Property had essentials such as kitchen items and even beach item plus a wagon to haul everything in.

Fun for everyone!

This house has everything you could want for a fun family vacation. Our two families, kids from 10-18 fit very comfortably and the property had something for everyone. So easy to walk to and from the private beach with use of the beach wagon, extra chairs, boogie boards and sand toys. The outdoor space is perfect for playing in the pool or relaxing, plenty of outdoor furniture options in the sun or shade. Fishing off the deck and ping pong kept kids entertained for hours. Gas grill and fire pit were a plus as well.
