Perfect for larger families!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The main house and apartment were very clean and well supplied. Even the porches were well maintained and very clean. Plenty of space outside to sit and relax in the shade and let the dogs run and play. Plenty of rooms to accommodate several families. Beds were comfy! Pool was clean. Pool is small, but we still had a good time in it! The only downside is unless you’re super early, you won’t find a park at the designated beach access. It’s always full, and on the 4th, we couldn’t find a place to set up a tent bc space is very limited so we had to hang by the pool.

We just got back from our...

We just got back from our second stay at your great property and the second time was as good, or better, than the first. The location is great, the accommodations are super, and there is a real "homelike" feel to the place. We were with a different couple this year and they were also delighted with "Destin Dreaming".

Excellent experience

First family vacation we've been on in 10yrs this rental was perfect for the 11 of us we each had our own space but still plenty of room for all of us to be together. The house was very well located as far as access to the beach and numerous shopping locations along with many mini golf courses and arcades. Plenty of places to eat out within the range of the golf cart that's included with the property so that made it really nice. I would highly recommend this property and rental company to anyone looking my family will definitely be booking threw them again.
