ADILIO M. Aug 17, 2024 08:28:19 AM

Chad D. Aug 13, 2024 07:56:12 PM
Summary: Great stay at a beautiful home! We had a large group of adults and children of various ages (17 total). Plenty of room for all, and we never felt crowded. The pool and boat dock were a nice touch, and very convenient as we brought three 26 foot fishing boats. The kitchen appliances were old and in need of replacement, but this is really my only criticism. Beautiful home, perfect location, and a fantastic stay! Would definitely return!

Summary: Pro’s - Great space for a large gathering. Location is nice and convenient for all the Destin attractions. Spacious rooms with nice furnishings and well stocked Kitchen. Con’s - Upon entering the house there was a strong musty smell. There was visible mildew on and around most ceiling vents. Pool and lower patio were a disappointment, due to a significant pool leak. The water was dropping at least 2 inches every day. A hose is there set on a timer to continually add water. Mold and mildew on the lower patio furniture made it unusable. As noted by other reviews Bugs were more than an “normal” problem, primarily on the lower level. Overall we had a great time in Destin. Would consider staying here again if the mentioned issues were resolved.

Summary: When we arrived, pool water was so low pump was sucking air. Mold all over walls and floor of pool. Toilet handle was broken and would not flush. Floors appeared clean but in fact we had to wear socks (which were filthy after wearing) or shoes, slippers, etc. Our feet were black from inside house. Boat hoist was off limits, not conveyed in listing. This was a main reason for booking this home. Even 120 dock power wasnt on to charge trolling batteries. 2x12 wood plank laying on dock, tripped and lost my new iphone in the water. That cost me $800 to pay off and $1200 for a new phone.

Summary: We had such a wonderful time staying at this vacation home. Every few years, our group of friends goes on vacation together with our kiddos too. It’s always challenging to meet the moms’ requirements in a beach house (big pool, big rooms, private bath for each family, not too far from the beach, playroom for kids, and a nice beach feel). This home checked ALL the boxes for sure. Everyone was comfortable and happy. We never felt cramped because the main living areas are enormous! There were two sets of laundry machines and two big fridges which was great. The kids had so much fun downstairs playing ping pong and outside at the pool. We brought a couple fishing rods and tried out fishing off the dock too (although the crabs are crafty bait snatchers!!). The beach is a comfortable walking distance away, however we did rent golf carts. There’s a small parking area for golf carts at the beach entrance. The ability to haul all our beach gear using the rented golf cart was priceless as the little kids require sooo much!! We were also able to drive the golf carts on most backroads to dinners. You just can’t drive on the main Destin road. There was plenty of parking space in the driveway and the neighborhood is very quiet. If anyone enjoys morning walks/runs, this is a great location for that. There’s a big wide sidewalk on the main neighborhood road that I think is about 2 miles long from end to end. We would definitely rent this home again!

Summary: The house and neighborhood are both beautiful. We had plenty of room to accommodate our group of 13. The pool was great but dirty, even after they came to clean it, which was only done once. We had to wash so many utensils and dishes prior to using them because there was food on them. The lower level had lots of bugs appear, more so than would be deemed as "normal" for the area. One of the toilets upstairs had to be adjusted after flushing each time. Some of the bathroom walls seem to have mold from moisture. Overall, we are so blessed to stay somewhere so beautiful, but for the cost, i don't want to wash dishes before using them. I'd totally stay here again, but i know that those few things might be a dealbreaker for others.
Juan R. Oct 21, 2023 02:33:57 AM
Summary: Great house and location, we would like to stay there again soon.
Jacobo F. Oct 4, 2023 11:00:53 AM
Summary: Great place we will be back
Thomas H. Jan 3, 2023 11:02:35 AM
Summary: We rang in the New Year with a family vacation and stayed here. It was a fantastic location. Property has all the amenities you could want. It was very clean and the check in/out process was easy. I would totally recommend this home for all ages.
