May 5, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Has potential The location had potential — we really enjoyed the canal access and the pool, and appreciated the basic necessities provided. However, several issues made the stay less enjoyable. There was loud construction on each side of us with banging, pounding, and saws running all day every day and was not relaxing at all when we were outside. We also found large dead rats in the front yard, which as addressed immediately and one of the bedrooms had a strong, unpleasant odor — like something may have died in the wall. Cleanliness was an issue; the home was not very clean upon arrival, and I’d recommend hiring new housekeepers.Another surprise: we weren’t informed about the strict HOA rules until the day of arrival, which added extra stress and restrictions to our stay. Also, it’s a good thing we brought our own toilet paper and paper towels — there wasn’t much provided.With better communication, improved cleanliness, and more transparency about the neighborhood, this could be a great rental. We had lots of room for all of us which was a plus. For the price we paid it we shouldn’t have had the inconveniences. ##### Dana b. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### mark c.

The downstairs was a perfect fit for the younger portion of our family with an exciting game room that kept them entertained. The kitchen was large and well stocked with dishes, pots & pans, and supplies. All the bedrooms were large and clean. We had a great time fishing off the dock in the backyard. We even saw a sea turtle! The walk to the beach was under 10 minutes. We saw a manatee there. The house had a ton of fishing and beach supplies which was really nice. ##### Jennifer C.

We had 3 families with kids ages 8-12 and this house was perfect. The weather was cold and windy but the amenities of the house allowed us to still have a great time. The kids fished off the dock, swam in the heated pool (extra charge) and played countless games of ping pong, air hockey and pool. The beach was a short walk and there were carts and chairs at the house for our use. Steve, the owner and manager, was extremely responsive starting with the booking and all the way through our stay. I had to contact Steve during our stay and he responded within 20 minutes and had his repairman at the house within 2 hours - even on a Saturday! We had such a great time and definitely plan on renting this house again. ##### Anna S. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia S. Aug 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Vacation Home for us. My family really enjoyed the amenities this house offered. Several of the children fished off the pier daily. We all enjoyed the pool daily, and the beach was magnificent. The older kids loved the game room. We did find that there was only one beach chair and wondered if other renters had failed to bring chairs back from the beach. There were also only 3 beach towels. We expected more to use poolside. There was also construction right next to the house and considerable noise during the day. We were not bothered much by the noise, but I imagine that some would find the noise irritating.The outside furniture near the pool, was high quality and comfortable. All in all, the house and amenities were great and suited our needs perfectly. ##### Patricia S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bill E. Dec 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place to stay Our family of ten spent a week and had plenty of room to spread out. The home had everything we needed and the extras made our stay enjoyable. The game room kept everyone busy on rainy days, and the garage had pool toys and a beach cart to pull our things. The kitchen lacked absolutely nothing. It was well stocked with dishes and cooking ware. Usually when we are cooking at a vacation home, we wished there would be more dishes or better pans, but everything here was of good quality and abundant. Steve was great to work with and he even helped us find last minute trailer accommodations when our daughter decided to bring her boat the day before we arrived. We highly recommend this vacation home. ##### Bill E. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tracy C.

It's located close to everything, beaches, shops and restaurants. Rent a jeep while you're there, it was a blast exploring. ##### Tracy C.

We swam, fished, body surfed in the ocean, built mega sand castles at the private beach and had tournaments in the game room. Our host was very accommodating, and the house was clean and comfortable. We had plenty of space to be together and enough areas for anyone to escape for a few quiet minutes. At the end of our week, everyone agreed that they loved the house, and we had one of our best vacations ever. ##### Sandy C. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve Y.

Everything was perfect including space to dock a large boat. The location was great both by road and by water and we expect to be back next year ##### Steve Y.

We had a fantastic time in Destin! This home and the owner were great! The house was perfect for four families that had 4, 14-16 year old boys, and 2, 13-14 year old girls! Great gaming area, close to the beach, pool in the back, and beautiful back patio area with water view! The back patio was the place go for morning coffee and evening beer! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zach C.

We had 5 adults 65+, 3 adults aged 35 and 2 children under 4. The house had plenty of beds for everyone and was incredibly clean and well maintained. The location was perfect to all Destin ammenities and attractions. I drove my boat over and the dock was in great shape and allowed an easy transit to crab island and offshore fishing. Couldn’t have picked a better house for our family vacation. ##### Zach C. Stayed 7 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve S.

We had 2 families with 4 kids ranging from 18 months to 10 yrs old. There was more than enough room and the game room on the bottom floor was perfect for evening fun while the baby was sleeping. We also liked that it had 2 Master suites. Pool was a good size, it was perfect for us to dock our boat, and the kitchen was supplied great! Owner was great to communicate with! We would definitely stay here again! ##### Steve S.

We had never been to Destin prior to our stay. Steve’s location is perfect for adults and kids. Walking distance access to the beach and if you have water toys, this intercostal location gives you great access. The house is comfortable with bikes, pool table, table tennis and a pool. Be sure to checkout this must location. ##### Cheryl B. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam D. Apr 9, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### friends and family spring break 2021 This house overall was great, the owner Steve is very easy to communicate with. we had several families/friends staying here. We are not picky people, but just a few notes for others that may be. There were some large dead bugs found, mainly in weird spots or corners, never in the kitchen or bedding issues. crock pots were missing lids...we improvised and im sure he remedied. the pool is salt water and was getting pretty dark 3 days in, the pool company came out but you could tell they just dumped chemicals and didnt really scrub it. so that was not truly the owners fault. It started to clear up toward the end of our stay. lots of pluses though. Quick easy walk to the beach. The water taxis will pull right up to his dock for pick ups and drop offs. The game room is awesome and kept us entertained when we couldnt be outdoors. Our biggest issue is the HOA, they are extremely strict, some one called a noise violation on us the 2nd night there. The security was knocking on our door at 9:04 pm which means one of the neighbors was waiting to call on us. We are not a crazy group, but we had 9 adults and 4 young teens, it was hard for us to even sit on the back patio and laugh and have drinks after 9 for fear of getting a fine.....so that was a bummer. Great house but in the future we will be looking for something that doesn't have a HOA for our group. Still gave 5 starts, just tryting to give an honest review. ##### Adam D.
