Nothing short of Amazing and Breathtaking

I do not even know where to start because everything about our stay was absolute perfection. The house was even better in person than in the listing. Five star properties is hands down one of the best places i have ever booked a vacation property through. They made sure we had all the necessary items for our week stay as well as many many extras. They rented us a golf car and 4 bikes, we had tons of snorkeling gear and floats and body boards to use. They even made sure we had 4 umbrellas and 8 beach chairs set up and ready on the beach daily by 6am. Also a charcuterie board as a welcome gift. I would definitely book through them again!!!

Enjoyed being with family

Nice house with a few structure problems (uneven floors, missing tiles and cracked walls). The advertised private beach wa s NOT private. Being next to Leeward entrance, no one enforced or controlled the encroached people on our space. Properties next to our had signs on the beach saying private. This on did not.

Pictures are deceiving

Pictures of this property must have been taken years ago. The property has gone way downhill from the pictures posted. Upon entering the property, we found rat droppings and dead roaches in a closet. Exposed screws sticking up from the decking with broken boards. The house is in a great need of pressure washing.. The furniture in the living room was absolutely disgusting. We had to drain all of the furniture with sheets. The windows overlooking the beautiful ocean were so disgusting that I had to go purchase Windex and clean them on the outside from top to bottom so that we could remotely even see the view. There were dirty dishes in the cabinets with mold and mildew. Broken cabinet doors were missing. Insulation around the framing of the porch doors was falling out. The tile in the bathrooms was disgusting, there were many many rodent traps under cabinetry, which clearly tells me they’ve had a problem . The only great thing about this property was its location. It’s literally right on the beach with unobstructed views. The beds were clean and the bathrooms were clean. The family room shower was amazing. The beds were very comfortable and there was adequate space. The house is in great need for updates. Broken blinds, walls that desperately needs to be repainted, the kitchen is lacking in supplies for cooking. The appliances in the kitchen were very nice except for the stove which did not properly ventilate therefore cooking anything would set off the fire alarms

Beautiful beachfront but…

Amazing views and location just 25 steps to the high tide line. Included beach chairs service w 4 chairs, 6 person gas golf cart and 4 bikes. BUT, so many issues incl dryer was broken and was replaced mid stay, large heavy sliding glass doors required 40lb force to open and only way to the beach, outdoor shower was broken yet fixed 4 d later, broken glass shower door which was swinging and dangerous in the master bath (fixed after we called it in) and a few more items. I’m not one to complain but this property was not ready and considering the luxury price point, the constant service folks coming in and out over the 4 of the 7 days we were there was very disconcerting. This was part of. Vacation rental company, called Five Stars ironically, and there was no attention yo detail here. They had not even replied to the Vrbo inquiries which should’ve been a clue. Most others on Vrbo take care to reply. Would not recommend this place because of the unreadiness, even with the fantastic beachfront location.

Fun in the sun

Great home in a great location. Need a couple of private beach sandwich boards for beach to remind beach goers to keep a little distance- other than that- perfect stay.

Great location, clean and well maintained home.

Beautiful, clean and well maintained property, staff was very helpful and very friendly, price was very reasonable. It would be awesome if they add sound system, smart TV and coffee modern maker.

The Perfect getaway 🌞

If the beach is what you're looking for, in a perfect location, this is it! Walk to Pompano Joe's and other restaurants. Came with a golf cart for 6! Excellent views and privacy. It's my sweetheart and my favorite place when on the Gulf coast. Enjoy 😉

Good view in good area

House okay, a bit worn, but comfortable. We thought a private house would mean a private beach ... not so, the owner lets tons of other rentals on the house’s beach, be prepared to be crowded.

Great location, beautiful views

We had a great time at this house - you can not beat the view! We have stayed in the Destin area numerous times, but this was our first experience with this particular rental company. Upon arrival everything looked to be great, but there was trash left behind on the kitchen counter and dirty dishes were in the cabinets. This was the biggest complaint, but quickly fixed with washing the dishes ourselves before being able to use them and throwing away the trash. The golf cart that was supposed to be with the house was not there, so the company provided a rental from an outside source. This was perfectly fine except that it took a day and a half to get the code to get into the golf cart with us calling the rental company often to stay on it. Then the company came and took the golf cart without telling us, totally freaking us out. After calling the golf cart company they said the inspector didn't think it was in good enough shape for us and wanted to bring us another one. . . which didn't happen until much later. Then on another day the house rental company needed to send someone over to come into the house to get a golf cart cover for another rental house out of a closet. So, in short, it was a total zoo the entire time we were there (which has never happened in all the years of us traveling here with different companies), but the location on the beach was perfect. The lay out of the house is good for a large family or group. Plenty of towels for everyone. If it wasn't for the location, would score much less.
