Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Emerald Enchantment Vacation The house was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked, the neighborhood was immaculate and the private beach made our visit perfect. ##### Sherry H. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samantha P. Jul 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The house was just as described. It worked well for our three families (6 adults 6 kids.) The pool was a hit with the kids after a long day on the beach and only a few steps from the house. Fun Vacay went above and beyond to get a necklace that was left back to us! Highly recommend staying at any of their properties. ##### Samantha P. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lori An G. Mar 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location in gated community The house is beautiful and well appointed. Very large kitchen and living room which worked wonderfully for the 14 of us. The problem was how the unit is stocked. Bring toilet paper, trash bags and dish soap. There is an amazing amount of dishes, pots, pans, etc. so that was wonderful. Beds comfy. Of note, the top bunk bed has 80 pound limit so do not plan on putting an adult on that. ##### Lori An G. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### elisabeth c. May 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful beachside home The beach house was located in a quiet, clean, and secure gated neighborhood, nestled right along the beachside. The peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The community pool was just steps from the front door, ideal for a quick dip in the morning or a relaxing swim in the evening. Beach access was only a short stroll away, down a charming cobblestone street that added to the neighborhood’s coastal charm.The house itself was beautifully maintained and tastefully decorated, with a welcoming, beachy vibe that made us feel right at home the moment we walked in. It was well-stocked with everything we needed—from kitchen essentials to bath towels—making it easy to settle in and start enjoying our vacation right away. Whether we were lounging on the balcony with a morning coffee or watching the sunset over the waves, every moment felt relaxing and special. ##### elisabeth c. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sherry H. May 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Destin family trip Great property to sleep several couples. The suite with 2 beds was amazing for our in laws who didn’t always want to climb the stairs. No garage, but we didn’t miss it at all. Huge kitchen and great seating in the family area n the second floor. The 3 rd floor suite was gorgeous too! We had 6 adults and a child but and we did not use all the sleeping space. This was right across from the main pool and a short walk to the beach. Very peaceful trip! ##### Sherry H.
