This home was perfect for our quick getaway, we booked this home 2 days before arrival and the host made sure we had everything we needed and more. So close to the beach and the back patio with lake view was an added plus. Amazing stay!
We enjoyed our stay, the host was attentive and having everything needed for laundry, dish washer, and shower body wash/shampoo stocked was an added plus.
This location had more than everything that we needed and the owners were very communicative and accommodating. They truly thought of accommodating people of all ages. We will definitely want to stay here again!
We stayed in the perfect little place in Destin! The house was so clean and beautiful! The balcony was awesome and we loved feeding the turtles! Just a walk across the road and we were in the beautiful, white sand at the beach! The pool was clean and amazing to play in after a hot day! We had plenty on things to do and our family had the best vacation! We will definitely be back! Thank you so much for your kindness and support while on our vacation!
Advertised as a “10” and lived up to its rating! Very comfortable and quiet. Updated kitchen and baths and spacious bedrooms. If you’re looking for a location that’s close to the beach, this is it. The host is an excellent communicator so never a gap in next steps of the start to finish rental process.
Very clean, absolutely lovely location, easy walk to beach, and Chuck was very responsive. Great time!!!

Amazing property with everything one needs
This property is well worth the stay. It is a very nice place located in a great spot. Super convenient for beach access and restaurants. Our trip did not have great weather but still was a great time since we had a great property with easy check in and out. The beach cart was also a nice addition to the trip.
Well worth it!

Great place, beautiful spot, we had a great time. Extra clean and great property owner. I would recommend to anyone.
Just the place we were looking for to get away from the cold up in the mitten! We enjoyed each moment in this beautiful home! Pleasant views over the pond and so many amenities WOW! Loved feeding the turtles. Was not able to have our morning coffee on the deck overlooking the water as the cushions were wet each morning (furniture covers would be nice). Thank.you Chuck and Vicki for making sure our stay was excellent!
This property was exactly as described. All the little extras included made our stay that much better. I would highly recommend staying here for your trip to Destin
Awesome Place, located right across the street, We had a great time !!!
This property was exactly as described. They had a variety of snacks, coffee and teas, and beach supplies.
The digital guidebook had everything we wanted or needed to know.
A very nice clean unit in a relatively laid back portion of the area. A couple minutes walk from the beach but without the clutter of too many shops and restaurants. We were able to do plenty of walking on sidewalks in the area and catch lots of sun for an early January break from the cold and clouds of Northern Ohio.
This place is in a wonderful spot with an amazing view of the lake. That's what we really enjoy. The beach os only at some steps on it and also was great. The villa have everything that you possibly need to cook and enjoy yourself.
Stay here! You’ll be happy you didn’t go to a hotel or crowded resort
Exactly what we wanted and so much more. Peaceful, quiet, easy beach access, the beach wasn’t packed like the resort beaches we saw, and the lake view is really nice. 100% will stay here again if he visit Destin again! The host was very responsive and was extremely prompt in helping us with a request! 10/10!

It was a great stay with great views.
This was perfect for my family. It was comfortable with everything we needed. In the back we had a great view of the lake and in the front while not a large view we did have a view of the beach, which was right across the street. Just a quick walk and you’re on the beautiful beach. I would definitely recommend we had absolutely no issues.

The beds were great and the kitchen had a lot of things we needed.
Our host Chuck was great, reaponding very quickly and politely to our inquires.Excellent location, only a few steps from the wonderful beach.The house was geared-up with all we needed.Strong attention to details which goes from the nice silverware set to available turtle food to feed them in the pond at the backyard, great for families with kids.Pretty nice furniture and the house was very nicely cleaned when we arrived.There were zero issues during our stay.We definitely recommend this property !!! kkdffdrprerry handy for renters

We had a really nice Valentines stay
What a wonderful condo Chuck and Vickie have! So modern but not all grey and white. Furniture, and especially the beds, were really comfortable. It is so close to the beach too! I think it took less time and fewer steps to get on the sand than when we stayed in some of the big condo buildings that are right on the beach. Definitely coming back!
The Villa was right across the street from the beach, very easy and short walk. Villa was just as described, had all the kitchen amenities needed to cook meals, toiletries provided were helpful. Having the pack n play and highchair were also great to have there waiting for us, less to pack when traveling with little ones. The digital handbook was also very handy, all the information you needed at your fingertips.
Arrival/ checking in was very easy with the provided info site. The location was great and the area super peaceful. The home was beautifully decorated and had unexpected amenities and extras provided. Wish I knew how to make a cappuccino just so I could have used the machine. We had one little issue with a door handle and it was fixed immediately and around our schedule and comfort. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay
We stayed for 5 nights in April and had a wonderful experience. The property is so conveniently located across from the beach and was just as advertised - very nicely appointed, clean and obviously well maintained. There were things that were provided that are not typical with all vacation rentals such as complimentary snacks, beach towels, chairs, and buggy. The coffee corner was a definite favorite of ours each morning. We enjoyed both the front deck and the back deck. Chuck was a great host and was very responsive any time we had a question. We will return!

Never wanted to leave!
Chuck is the consummate host and this rental is the best we have ever stayed in. The deck is really comfortable and the view is every bit as great as the photo represents. The walk to the beach was only a few minutes and the pool was in terrific shape.
The unit was very clean (kudos to Chuck's cleaners) and the unexpected goodies that awaited us were very welcome. The handwritten and personal note was the icing on the cake.
It will be difficult to stay in any other Vrbo after staying here.

Wonderful wonderful wonderful
Chuck's place was not exactly as described, it was even BETTER! Cute, well decorated, and very comfortable throughout. The added plus of the beach chairs & cart were not only convenient, but saved us time and money.
The guidebook he and Vicki have put together helped us plan our stay weeks before we even arrived, and it had everything we wanted or needed to know. Every rental host should do this as it is also wonderful.
Everything about our stay, even the weather, was wonderful!
Where to begin, the ultimate location and getaway for our family. The reviews and pictures all were accurate and we were pleasantly pleased upon arrival. The hosts go above and beyond to make the trip seamless. The digital guidebook was such a perfect traveling touch. Cozy beds, beautiful showers and accommodations. We found absolutely everything we needed and more. Our whole family found it to be a home away for the week. We didn’t want to leave…… and will certainly be back. We enjoyed being able to walk to dinner and the beach while also enjoyed neighboring towns. Don’t miss this rental, truly a find!
