Beautiful home and great location

The home was very spacious and had plenty of space for our 3 families that includes 10 children. Heated pool and outdoor space was one of the best parts of the home. Location is very close to beach and golf cart access was a plus. Communication with property manager and any questions or issues was dealt with immediately. Highly recommend.

We stayed at A Shore Thing, and had 15 people ranging from 14 to 75 years. This house was perfect for us! Everyone had space to breathe & the pool was amazing! We had minor maintenance issues, which were addressed promptly with immediate updates. Checkout was no hassle at all. Comfy beds, wonderful kitchen, nice pool table. This was a wonderful place.

We rented 53 and 55 Sunfish. Our group had a great time and the set up was perfect. We had a couple small issues come up during our stay but I have to say that the concierge response was almost immediate. I would definitely rent from them again and recommend these house to large groups. Everything in the houses from beds, pillows, furniture and even kitchenware made you feel comfortable like at home. Absolutely great!

Huge house for multiple families

Great location and easy walk to the beach. Beach area for the house is not crowded at all. The 2 golf carts were a plus. The outside pool area was big and accommodated 17 of us! Sliding glass door leading to the pool is still not repaired which makes the powder room off the pool not useable since that is the only exit/entry to the house from the pool. Very receptive to any issues we called about.

We had an amazing stay, regardless of Red Tide and Hurricane scare. But gotta give all my applause to Amber Ingram she went above and beyond after hours to get us the UFC fights the first night we were here. She made sure we had everything we needed and that we were safe thru Hurricane Michael and after. We will definitely be booking all our stays Thru 360 Blue. A wonderful group of people. This house is more than we could have ever asked for truly an adventure for all of our kids and grandkids. Thank you all again.

GREAT STAY, BUT !!!

We had a great stay because of space,However when entering the property the first thing you see is a pool table in much need of repairs,you can’t see this in the pics,Some plumbing issues as well,the elevator stalled a couple of times,But when giving them a text they sent someone out immediately,What a very nice guy, I also DON’T like that you spend so much money but can’t physically speak anyone personally, I left something behind and tried to make contact but to no avail,Now that they got the funds no response.

This house provided the perfect vacation getaway for my group of 24 with 13 adults and 11 kids. We had a blast and there was something for everybody to do. The bikes that came with the house were always something the older kids enjoyed. Although, the bikes are adult bikes so you’d have to be at least 5’1 to ride them. There are so many local attractions and fun things to do like the go kart track, and Big Kahunas Waterpark. Any minor things that were not fully functioning, like a lock on the door, were almost immediately fixed by 360 Blue, all we had to do was call. Overall, our group had a blast and we are definitely looking to come back to this area for our next vacation. Destin gave us the best vacation experience we’ve had.☺️

October 2017 Fall Break

We had an excellent Fall Break with 6 families - 12 adults and 15 kids ages 1-8. The house is gorgeous! It was the perfect size and space to fit our group. The kids loved the 2 bunk rooms with their own TVs built into the beds. We all had a great time in the pool and hot tub. The house is an easy walk to the beach and the golf cart was a great way to load up all the beach gear needed for so many kiddos. We would have liked to have a had broom and mop in the kitchen and a higher suction vaccum to help clean up food crumbs and sand each day. There was maintenance in the oven and landscaping and pool cleaning while we were staying. It would have also been nice to have received notice someone would be in the house and pool area ahead of time. Our stay was fantastic and we are already looking forward to doing it again!

This home is beautiful and is a great house for a big group! Everyone can spread out in the indoor living spaces as well as the outdoor spaces.Short walk to the beach. The pool and spa are amazing but the heater controls either are not user friendly or were not operating correctly .We had a few issues when we arrived, but 360 Blue's staff were very responsive to our concerns. The bikes are in need of routine maintenance(wobbly seats, chains falling off) but the grand kids still enjoyed them, I agree with an earlier review that it does need a deep cleaning, and I know a lot of people stay here but I felt like I wanted to clean the hard surfaces counters and floors when I arrived.The amenity's that come with the home is such a nice touch. Overall my family had an wonderful time and would definitely love to stay here again!

My group of 15 had an amazing time at A Shore Thing! The house was huge and accommodating to everyone in our party. The pool could not of been better and the short walk to the beach made it easy to go back and forth throughout the day. The golf cart came in handy for quick trips through the neighborhood and the bikes were enjoyed by a few in our group. A few tips: bring house shoes since the floors get sandy (not the houses fault) we vacuumed almost daily! A few more pots and pans would have been nice, but again it wasn’t a huge deal! We really enjoyed the privacy in this home. The owners/renters truly let you enjoy your time to your selves! The first day was the only time we saw maintenance come out to fix our garage! We also LOVED the sound system, so fun! A little info on how to set it up would of been helpful but a quick phone call to 360 and we were all set! Thanks again for the best stay! We will be back!!!

This place was amazing! Beautiful both inside and out. Definitely one of the most beautiful vacation rentals that Destin offers with a very close proximity to the beach. Beach is conveniently located directly across the street. Golf carts made it easy to get to nearby stores or just take a ride along scenic highway. The bikes made for a great daily exercise for our group. We had a group of 24 adults and children and because the house was so large, it never felt overcrowded. The kitchen was conveniently stocked with all our cooking needs. We bought some extra pots and pans from home and the only thing the kitchen lacked was oven mitts and cleaning products which would have been useful to clean floors since they were heavily trafficked by our crew. There were some minor maintenance issues which were quickly addressed. The only problem they could not fix during our stay was the child lock code needed to allow the dryer upstairs to work. Despite maintenance issues, we would certainly return for the memories!

Our extended family vacations in Destin every October. We have stayed in multiple houses. We were unsure if we would enjoy staying I home the did not have direct beach view. We loved this home. The outside area and pool were fantastic! We had a 2yo that enjoyed the splash pool. We played pool every day. Like a previous review the beach access code did not work. I called the 360 office. They ask me to email them a pic of gate which I did. I was told they would follow up with me the next day-I never got response. I also emailed to ask for heated in pool to be turned on but did not get response. The golf carts were so much fun. We used them multiple times a day. The kitchen was well stocked except dish towels and dish clothes. We really enjoyed this house. Great location. We hope to stay in this house again!

A Perfect Retreat for our Work Family

The home is lovely and just a couple blocks from the beach. We spent a lot of time at the pool which was a great size for our party of 22. The rooms were all nice and clean, and the kitchen was fantastic. If you are planning on doing a lot of cooking, I would bring your needed pots/pans/serving platters as it is very limited as to what is provided. And don't forget your seasonings, too. :) The home does have a central vacuum system and broom - be sure to have them show you where those items are when you have your initial tour (we had to search around for them). The home could use a good thorough mopping as anyone who walked barefoot would end up with extremely dirty feet. But if you wear house shoes, it's all good. You'll also want to bring trash bags. We had to reach out to the management company several times, but they were very responsive. The elevator got stuck once, and was promptly fixed. We smelled gas on the side of the house and they came out to check on that. There are 2 washers/dryers, and we did have on-going problems with the dryers - so I would be weary if you are planning on doing laundry. Overall, a great stay and we would come here again.

Roomy and Close to Beach but..,

Got here and house wasn't clean! Called and they sent the head of housekeeping and a crew to recleam the house bc the previous one walked out on the job! We had to wait outside while they cleaned. Very disappointed. We had trouble with main room tv . Very unfriendly tech wise , ice maker in kitchen never worked.. they had to deliver us ice daily and we had trouble with the gas stove.. gas leak. Had a guy out to fix it. Some chair cushion missing on patio love seats. For only 4 years old this is really run down!. Furniture,kitchen equipment, cracks in pool. Didn't quite shine in white splendor like the photos! Despite all the glitches we had a great time bc of the location and all beds and master suites! Whenever I called 360 Blue I had to wait for a rep for so long that many times I hung up. The accommodation and location are great though!! So In light of the above we still would come back but I would call before we arrived to make sure all glitches we experienced this year would be righted. I do want to say that Arian came out day one to smooth things out a bit and gave us full use of hot tube without extra charge, which I never knew from the listing that use of hot tub was extra expense. This place needs an update and refresher. Cushions need cleaning , a wall clock would be nice in great room or kitchen. I'm going to rebook but with caution!

Beautiful Property/Gret Location

The pictures and videos match the property description. It was amazing! It will be hard to stay anywhere else. Everyone raved about how lucky we were to stay. We did have a series of issues, but received consistent support and assistance from the managing company. The sliding glass door to the pool did not work, the outside television and unfortunately the air conditioning on the third floor was out our last three nights. This can happen to any house in Florida. Even with these obstacles, we would gladly stay here again. It is a 5 out 5!

Overall a quality property

Let me start by saying I would stay at this property again, but I’d hope that by next year some of the broken items will have been addressed. Several weeks prior to our arrival I noticed on another review that the patio door to the pool area was inoperable. I contacted the management company and was told the part needed would arrive and it should be fixed before we got there. I told them it was very important to us as we would be using pool more than the beach due to small grandkids with us. About a week before our arrival date I reached out again and was told the part showed up damaged and they had to wait for a new one. I asked if they requested it to be overnighted, but they just said they would let me know if it would not be fixed prior to our arrival. Bottom line is they called a couple hours before check in and said they would not be able to fix it. So we had to use a bathroom to access the pool all week. Not very sanitary with small grandkids. The other option they offered was the spiral staircase from the second story deck. Not a very safe option for wet feet! Very disappointing after spending over $35,000 on this vacation for 13. They could have bought a new patio door at Home Depot vs it taking weeks to get a part sent to them. (The last house we rented had a TV by the pool that didn’t work. That management company went out that day and bought a brand new outdoor TV and installed it so we could enjoy the outdoor TV while grilling. Now THAT was customer service!) Upon arrival, the house was pretty clean other than the grill. I contacted the management company and it was promptly taken care of. The pool fountain and one of the dishwashers was not working. Maintenance came to look at but they said it needed a third party who would take care of right away. They never showed up and I received no further communication about either. So while there were some disappointing items, with the door being a major one, we would consider this property again. I had asked about a price adjustment due to the issues but was told they would not discuss that until after our stay was over.
