Everything was clean and Michael was very good with communication. The pool needed a minor repair the day we arrived, but he was great with keeping us informed and getting it taken care of quickly while we were out. Would stay here again! ##### Samantha C.

The location is perfect—super close to the beach, plus all the shopping, dining, and a grocery store just around the corner. Everything was within a short drive or, even better, a quick golf cart ride, which the kids loved.The house had more than enough space for our two families (10 people total). Everyone had their own space to unwind, and it never felt cramped. The heated pool was very nice also. We really appreciated the convenience and how well everything was set up. It made our trip stress-free and fun for the whole family. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a spot in Destin. ##### Jeff S.

Fully stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, super comfortable beds. The golf cart is 100% worth it for convenience, the beach isn’t FAR but with tents, coolers, etc the golf cart made things much easier. So nice to spend the day at the beach and be able to spend the evening after dinner in the pool. Mike is a great and courteous host. We will be visiting again! ##### Caroline G.

Jan 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Stay Let's start of with their check in time being 4pm, we have an almost 6 hours drive from Georgia. And we were able to check in before 3pm which was greatly appreciated and gives us a great head start, the home is very well kept, very clean and well maintained. There's was enough space for our entire party, the host was very gracious and respond promptly to my message ( Not about issues in the house, but just general information) The location is pretty close to shops, bars and restaurant, the area is nice, clean quite. We would absolutely book here again if our next yearly trip brings us in this area.Thank you for an amazing stay! ##### Glamag44 W.
