We had 11 family members this trip and the space was perfect! The pool was great! It was an easy commute to the beach!
We were the very first guest to stay in this place and William and his team did not disappoint. Everything we needed was there and they were great at communicating with us. The place was immaculate, pool was a huge it for the kids. The bikes and golf cart are a must for this area. Definitely will go back.

This house is absolutely beautiful. Exactly like the pictures! The house is very nicely decorated. The beds were super comfortable. The kitchen amenities were very nice quality. The only suggestion I could make to have a better stay would be to add dressers in the bedrooms or closet organizers.

It's a shame you can only give 5 stars because this place exceeded my expectations. The place was spotless, free of any broken items and just a wonderful place to stay. Normally the places i have stayed at that are comparable in rental rates dont have items as nice as this one does. The place was furnished with all samsung tvs, samsung fridges, dyson vacuum, pottery barn Blankets just to name a few things. Will definitely return next season.

We had an amazing week at the Marl-Inn Blue. The pictures and description were spot on—a true relief! The home was immaculate and well-maintained, and there was plenty of room for our group of 13 to spread out. The backyard was the BEST. It was the perfect spot to relax and hang out. We used the golf cart to go everywhere! Being in a gated community was nice and private- and away from the crowds. We loved it and we will be back!
We had a great stay with 19 people (11 adults, 8 kids). We were pleasantly surprised by the house and rooms all being bigger than we thought they'd be based on the online pictures (which don't do them justice!). We had plenty of space for meals, seating, lounging and swimming! Our kids loved that the bunkbeds were very sturdy and not wobbly like in other rentals we've experienced. The kitchen hsd everything we needed for meals and the second fridge and wet bar area was clutch!!
Management was great, very attentive and allowed us to check in a couple hours early, which was very helpful and appreciated! Golf cart worked like a charm, beautiful neighborhood and property all around!

Best vacation home rental experience in a longggg time! Everything about Frangista Beach Properties nailed it. Very clean & equipped property that exceeded our expectations. I brung our boat for the Memorial Day weekend vacation, not knowing we couldn’t park it in the driveway, they provided us a nearby place that was less than a mile away where we could park it, and it was a secured lot. I will only book with them when visiting Destin.

Reviewer Comments:
This is a solid vacation home. Large, laid out well! Positives: King beds in every room except bunk room, bathroom in every room, half bath located great for pool use, golf cart was great, large tvs, A/C works great, 2 refrigerators. Negatives: No beach access, hot tub overflows into pool and heated the pool (not ideal for hot days) kitchen isn’t stocked well with things you’ll need (big bowls, wine opener, etc) all the mattresses are VERY FIRM) there seems to be a neighborhood watch or something that is very particular and will drive by or even come to your door to tell you what they don’t like, WiFi was weak for as many people as the house accommodates. Overall, it’s good. Not great! We’ve been coming to Destin and renting homes for 20+ years, won’t rent this home again. Would rent from this company again though.
The house was excellent! Nice accommodations, well equipped to cook, pool and hot tub was great. Complaint -this house is in the back of the Frangista neighborhood, and you do not get access to the private beach. You have to go down to the public beach access which is very crowded and busy. Also, if you stay at this property the owner comes by constantly and if you have one too many cars at the unit, he notifies Security to come by and they leave a ticket. On Wednesday, I got a text from the property manager saying "There is 1 car parked on the street and a Ford 150 that is sticking out of the driveway onto the street. The owner drove by and would like those cars removed." This started the very first day while we were unloading and occurred every day. We had 20 people, 5 cars parked in the driveway. This means no one else can come to the unit in their car and park while visiting. This house has nothing but woods on one side and the sidewalk ends. One car that parked by the woods from a visitor, was ticketed and asked to leave. It did not block access, did not block traffic because it's a cul-de-sac, and other than their "rules" would not affect anything. Basically, you pay over $1K/night to get micro-managed constantly about the neighborhood "rules" by the property owner. I will not return to this unit in the future. I will give kudos to Hector and William at Frangista Beach Properties for their communication and help in the booking process and during out stay.

We flew in from 4 states to have our immediate family in one place. We all love the beach and we had never been to the panhandle of Florida. The ages were from 5 years to 87 years old. We eat in most of the time-kitchen had everything we needed.The bedrooms all had their separate bathrooms. The house pool & hot tub was very enjoyable. The teenagers loved the bikes and the golf cart was absolutely necessary.The distance to the beach was not as expected- impossible to walk and our group was large so to take the chairs and umbrellas called for a lot of planning. We had a great week .
