The house was great and exactly as it was described. The host was great with communicating, answering any questions that I had, and responding quickly. We’ll definitely be staying here again with our kids, who loved it. We paid extra to have the pool heated and it was worth every penny. The kids stayed in it nonstop.

Completely satisfied.

Our stay at Hipnautic was outstanding for our family. The property is updated, well maintained close proximity to the beach, and no neighbors behind you watching you swim in the pool. The golf cart was perfect and is a must do. We would stay here again.

Perfect Destin Rental

We loved everything about this rental. It was exactly as advertised. Great location. The pool was clean and enjoyed by all. Loved having the golf cart, big hit wth the grandson. The beds were all very comfy. Kitchen was well stocked. And having a laundry room is always a bonus. We had a great time and would recommend this beautiful home to anyone. Owner was very prompt with any questions we had. Perfect!

Amazing!!

We had the best time at HipNautic! The house is absolutely beautiful, and the pool area is private and peaceful. Our kids LOVED the bunk room. The master suite on the 2nd floor was huge and luxurious. The first floor bedroom was perfect for my 75-year-old mother. We had everything we needed in the house (and more!). The golf cart worked great and was perfect for scooting around the neighborhood. The owners were super responsive to us, and check in and check out were very easy!2 things we learned that are helpful to share: -There is no golf cart parking at the Shirah Street beach access. So if you are taking the golf cart to the beach, you need to park at the Hutchinson Street access (across from Camille's). Even on Memorial Day weekend, there was golf cart parking available. -The house has extra towels to use by the pool, but you will want to bring you own chairs, umbrellas, tents, toys, etc. for the beach. We would love to stay at HipNautic again in the future!

It was larger than expected and very clean. We will definitely stay here again on our trips to Destin/Crystal Beach.

Family vacation

Great stay… the property was perfect and as advertised. We loved all of the amenities - the kitchen was well stocked with anything we could need, the rooms were spacious, and there was great beach equipment that we used throughout our stay. We had more than enough space for the 6 adults in our group. The beautiful decks and private pool area were definitely our favorite, as was the proximity of the house to the beach. Our only disappointment was the limited amount of public beach space available but we tried to make the best of it. Overall, we had a fantastic trip!

Destin Family Vacation

The house was perfect for our Destin family vacation. It was clean and the pool was perfect to have. It was close enough to walk to the beach but having the gold cart made it easier. The property was clean and the owners were amazing to work with. We arrived early and they made every attempt to get us in a little early which was nice. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others.

Fantastic house, pool, and location!

I can't say enough good things about this place. Easy, clear, and friendly communication with Michael (the owner); excellent condition of the house; wonderful heated private pool; and perfect location for access to the beach, countless restaurants, and all 5 nearby golf courses. We had three generations there for Mother's Day week - three adult kids, my wife and I, and two grand-parents. The house was perfectly suited for the whole crew - we all enjoyed the front porch swing and all the other porch seating on each level. We also rented the optional golf cart - which made life easier for cruising down the beach road. Really enjoyed the week. Thanks!

HipNautic was the perfect house for our family vacation.

Great property!

Wonderful upgraded home, comfortable beds, very clean, good size pool (bigger than most in the neighborhood). Golf cart is a must, beach very close by but limited parking so used golf cart to park at the crab trap and rented beach chairs and umbrellas there. Rentals available along the beach but this property has all necessary needs for the beach like chairs, umbrellas, wagon, toys, games. Plenty of towels, beach towels, linens. Owner very responsive. We loved HipNautic and we will be back!
