    The Bed Setup:

    Guest Bedroom: 2 Twin Beds

    2nd Floor
    Guest Loft Bedroom: 2 Twin Beds

    Area Attractions: 

    Nearby are 6 miles of paved trails - perfect for both walking and biking. Pretty, unspoiled Henderson State Park is also just down the road!

    It's a terrific residential area, yet close to restaurants and activities in Destin. Walk the 300 yards to the beach or venture over to nearby restaurants or shopping areas. 

    Close by is Destin Commons, a beautifully landscaped, pedestrian-friendly area and a great family venue where children will love to play in the interactive water fountains. Also, for the younger guests, a nautically/pirate-themed outdoor playground features a 1,750 square foot soft play area with various creatures from the sea, slides, and a treasure chest!  Destin Commons also has a mini train for the kids. Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants, including Godiva Chocolates, AMC Movie Theaters, and Bass Pro Shop.

    If you are near Miramar Beach, the snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Dolphin Reef, deployed in 2017.  Located just 685 feet straight out from the Miramar Regional Public Beach access (by Pompano Joe's), it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of the permitted sea bottom. The Dolphin Reef is at a depth of 12-20 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation devices when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Location

Best Nest has the perfect location for the beach - an easy walk to the public beach. It’s a quiet neighborhood with 2 community pools. The house was very clean. We did have trouble getting service for tv’s, but didn’t really need them. The ‘mancave’ was a fun atmosphere, but the air conditioning couldn’t keep up, so it was really too hot for the kids to use the room. Glad we stayed. The location was perfect.

Most relaxed vacation spot I have been in years!

We absolutely loved this location! We were worried about not staying right on the beach, but this worked out so much better than expected. We rented bicycles and the short ride to the beach was great. There is plenty of space for our family to hang out especially in the yard. The community is adorable, and so quiet! I really hope to visit this location again. If we had to pick one downfall, it would be the public beach. You have to get up early to get a good spot due to the limited space for tents/sunshades. It does get pretty crowded. But, we are early risers so that wasn’t a iv deal for us.

Destin Getaway

This home was a perfect location for our party of two couples. The proximity to the beach and pool were exceptional! The house was very comfortable. We would like to make a few suggestions for your future guests. The only cleaning supplies provided were dishwasher soap, stove top cleaner and Palmolive dish liquid. A bottle of all purpose cleaner (fantastic, Meyers, 409) and a sponge would have been very helpful! We know you use a cleaning service, and the house was very clean when we arrived but it was difficult to keep the kitchen and bathrooms clean while we were there. Papergoods such as an extra roll of toilet paper, Kleenex, paper towels and napkins would have helped, as well. In all of the houses we have rented through VRBO, these supplies were provided, as well as salt, pepper, spices, foil, plastic wrap, etc. Just a gesture for guests arriving by plane. We did have a wonderful time!

Great stay. Lovely house. Good internet. I do, however, suggest informing renters they should bring their streaming passwords to access television, as the house no longer has cable.

Nice house, quick walk to the beach and shopping

Nice place to stay for a beach vacation. Close to the beach. Recommend if you have a tent for the beach get there early to find a space otherwise you have to rent an umbrella. Easy walk to beach shop and some other restaurants and shopping. Enough linens for the family and nice laundry room to do laundry for the family’s clothes.
