The property was beautiful, clean and well appointed. We had only one minor issue where a towel rail wasn't properly installed, but apart from that it was awesome. I would heartily recommend it.

Another Great Stay

Awesome time. This is the third time staying at this property and my entire family including the dog enjoyed it. One of the great things about this property is the property management company. They were very attentive and easy to communicate with. The little neighborhood is quiet and a very short walk to the beach and close to area attractions/shopping.

Relaxing!

Loved the house for our party of 11, two separated families. The pool and proximity to the ocean and beach were perfect for our group. Short walks and the availability of the expandable wagon were ideal. Great property, location and access to management for questions (we weren’t sure on check out responsibilities) made this a seemless trip to one of USA’s most beautiful beaches and amenities!

Great Sttt add y

Great location with short walk to the beach. Neighborhood is very quiet and great for walking our dog. Management company was great to work with and getting the property rented was a breeze. Do yourself a favor and eat at Fat Clemenza’s on 98. We found it this trip and wished we had done so sooner. Incredible Italian cuisine. Definitely will be going back to the property.

Family Vacay

We had between 9-11 people including children/infants , for a week at this location. The communication was perfect. The response to maintenance was handled very quickly by pleasant staff. The couch could use replacement, however it was a great size for our crew. The cart was awesome! We had to make several trips back and forth to get everyone to/from the beach but was great. It would be great if they had a charging place for the cart at the front of the house to negate the need to move our cars in and out to get the cart charged and out for the trips . Overall we had a wonderful stay and we will be back.

Fantastic stay!!

This property and our experience with it was fantastic. Great communication from the property manager and very quick responses to any queries. The house was perfect for our family location and the proximity to the beach, as well as access to the community pool, were wonderful. The beach toys in the garage were enjoyed by all! We were especially impressed with responses to maintenance requests. There were a few issues when we checked in but someone came promptly to fix them. The television didn't work and they brought a brand new one and installed it! This property was great and we would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking. We do wish we had opted to use the golf cart as that would have made trips to the beach easier but the provided wagon served well for transporting beach chairs and toys.

Definite pros and cons. Would like to leave a longer review, your not getting the entire story.

We travel to the Destin area every two years. We have never stayed at the same house twice. We bring a big family group and always make the best of it. Some houses we’ve stayed at have definitely been better than others. Unfortunately, this was the most expensive house we’ve stayed at and probably the one we’ve liked the least. I’m going to list some pros and cons for you now. Pros: The home is a decent size. It had the amount of rooms/beds we needed. Access to the golf cart was fantastic.(Have to pay extra for that though) We absolutely would have had a miserable time trying to make the walk to and from the beach each day. It’s farther than you realize and we’re all pretty fit/healthy people. The community pool is very nice. Our family really enjoyed using it. Con’s: First and foremost, the mattresses are AWFUL. Especially the two bunk bed rooms/matresses. I assume they think only kids use the bunk’s therefore they can skimp on the quality of mattresses, but that wasn’t the case for our group. Even the non bunk bed mattresses were not great by any means. Night one I had to kill a massive cockroach in the downstairs bathroom. Small ants in kitchen. The washer and dryer are SO out of date. They desperately need an upgrade. We had to run the dryer multiple times per load to get the clothes dry. The washer is also one of the loudest washers I’ve ever heard. The couches are stained. The decor is cheap and tacky. They provided the bare minimum.in amenities. One pack of detergent.
