Amazing Destin Property
The house was in terrific condition, very close to the beach, had an amazing pool, tons of space and great amenities. Would stay here again!
We had plenty of room in a wonderful setting. Close to the beach and a very nice neighborhood. Sent a few messages to the owner and always had a quick response. Highly recommend.

We loved our stay at Top Shelf
Great location and great hosts! Patrick was very personable and prompt in his responses to us during our stay. The house had ample space for all 12 of us and the pool was a major hit! We rented the golf cart for quicker transportation to the beach for the kids, but the walk is easy to the beach. Nice, quiet community and amenities at Destiny East. Would definitely recommend this house and would rent again if given the chance.

Top Shelf was Top of the Line
Wow!! What an amazing vacation thanks in large part to this beautiful house in Destin. Everything was exactly as described -- customer service was quick and efficient, the pictures portrayed the house exactly as we assumed it would be, the amenities were great, check in and check out was incredibly easy! The walk to the beach took maybe 10 minutes and was a safe walk for the whole family -- never even had to cross traffic since there is an underground tunnel to go through. There was plenty of parking too if you got there before 10:30 AM. It was great having the grill for dinner and assorted beach toys and pool floats were really convenient. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking items and utensils. The community area was close, just a 10 minute walk and had tennis/pickleball courts which we used often. We will definitely recommend Warren Beach Rentals!

Awesome stay!
Pool and hot tub were perfection! Great stay, VERY good communication from the team and incredibly responsive. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend!
This was our second time renting with Warren Beach Rentals—last year in Panama City Beach and this year in Destin—and both experiences have been fantastic. “Top Shelf” is a beautiful home! My family of nine had a wonderful stay. The hosts were very communicative, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The rooms were spacious, the beds were comfortable, and the pool was exquisite. And the location…wow! Just a 5-minute walk to the beach and close to all the action.
We loved everything about this home and would absolutely stay again. Thanks Keith, Bruce, and the Warren Beach Rentals team for another amazing experience!

Property was very spacious. Loved the huge sofa !!! I would suggest an upgrade to the dishwasher. Seemed not to completely clean the dishes. Overall it was a perfect location. We all enjoyed our stay!
Good location, nice pool and hot tub. When we arrived, there was hair in the drawers in the MBR and hair and dirt in the bathtub. There was also months of dust accumulated on the fan in the living room and on the lamps. They had to send the cleaning crew back out to clean up. The drinking glasses in the cabinets were dirty and had to be cleaned.

I can't say enough good things about this place , I would highly recommend it !!!!!

Exceeds expectations
We had a large group and the house had plenty of space. The pool was warm and the perfect size. We also were surprised how close the beach and attractions were. We would recommend to anyone!!
Loved the beach and loved the community. This location was convenient to many attractions, restaurants, shopping, golf etc. The house and pool were thoroughly enjoyed by our family! Warren Beach Rentals makes it easy. Great vaca! Thanks!
This house was perfect for an extended family gathering. Plenty of space inside and out. The pool area was awesome - plan on spending lots of time there during your stay. Management/owner were very responsive to questions and a few minor issues that cropped up, which were very quickly resolved. Nice quiet neighborhood that seems to work hard to keep things that way.

We had a wonderful week and look forward to our next visit there.
Everything is great at the TOP SHELF house. This Wass our 4th or 5th stay there and we feel like it is a second home for us.The problem we had at the beginning with the refrigerator was quickly remedied and you took care of the problem immediately. Our week there was great!
The property was great and in a very good location. We had a large group with two families and loved our time. We rented a golf cart which was great as well. The pool and outside areas worked great for our group. We had a group of teenagers so the seperate room above garage was excellent for giving them some space.
