The living areas & kitchens were updated. The location is amazing. Having 2 washers & 2 dryers was a definite plus. The bathrooms could use some updating, but nothing significantly wrong. My only recommendations would be to: 1) replace the upper level master bedroom mattress (it’s very dented in) 2) hang curtains in that same room (the sunlight didn’t allow us to sleep passed sunrise) and 3) Put in better shower liners (they were cheap and we were literally fighting to keep them from sticking/flying against us while showering). ##### Tisha G.

Also, feel you should offer some kind of cleaning wipes or spays for counters. We had to go by our own and clean everything before using it. ##### Brook P.

The lake view is gorgeous & serene from the deck and through the big windows in the living room! The kitchen was bright & immaculate & had everything we needed! The beds were very comfortable & beautifully decorated. We loved being able to walk right across the street to the beach & Crab Trap. The parking area was super convenient, too! We definitely plan to return & highly recommend this to all our friends! ##### Sandra S. ### 8/10 Good #### Gregory K. Jul 8, 2019 #### Destin Vacation My wife and I stayed here with our two daughters and their families. There were 7 adults and 4 kids. We had plenty of room and the accommodations worked out well. The only glitch was the 1st floor master bath drain was clogged and the drain plug would not stay open. I removed the debris the best I could and wedged the handle of a spoon into the drain to hold the plug open. This worked well enough for us to shower. I believe the photo cell on the outdoor light needs replacing. The light remained on our entire 4 night stay. We enjoyed the location of this property. Our grand kids liked feeding the turtles in the lake behind the property and the community pool was nice. Access to the beach was convenient. Overall, we had a great time in Destin and this property worked out well for us. Kershaw's from H'town ##### Gregory K. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Kelly M. Jun 30, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Vacation 2022 I really like being close to the beach and pool and this property did that. The pool was about 10 houses down from where we were. There was a small tunnel you could walk through to get beach side. For most of the week the tunnel was full of water and tadpoles so you couldn’t walk through it. After 3-4 days the city I believe came and sucked the water out and you could use it. There were some issues with the house. There were many lightbulbs out which I did call about. The upstairs tub drained extremely slow. The upstairs toilet chain kept coming undone and the flush handle would swivel around. The locks on the upstairs bathroom didn’t work..actually the door wouldn’t shut all the way. The master bathroom downstairs the door wouldn’t lock. Those are a few things that need fixed. There was a lake in the back that had pretty cool turtles to see. For the most part we had a good time. It would be nice if the property had bikes or a golf cart. Thanks for having us Florida ##### Kelly M. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jazely J.

Aug 22, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### An honest review: Location is what really shines through with this property. You are walking dista An honest review: Location is what really shines through with this property. You are walking distance from the beautiful sandy beach! By walking distance I mean less than 5 min! There is also a beautiful lake behind the property. The view is gorgeous! Both kitchens had ample space and were practical/efficient. Washer and dryer both upstairs/downstairs is also a plus. The cons: This site was not cleaned as thoroughly as I would have preferred. Even more so when you are paying for a cleaning fee upon booking. I have attached some pictures to show what I mean. There were areas that we had to vacuum (good thing we brought one) and when we mopped with our makeshift mop the rag was pretty dingy. The rail that goes upstairs we wiped with a Clorox wipe and it was black from dirt in just one swipe. Even that until this point is tolerable. What really was the tipping point is when I changed the sheets in one of the bedrooms (because there were a couple hairs on the sheets on the bed, again good thing I brought my own) there were stains from what looked like all sorts of bodily fluids or even blood on the mattress. Which has me questioning weather they even changed the sheets or if they did and didn’t care to clean it or replace the mattress or buy a mattress protector. When we called to complain and let them know there were a lot of areas that seemed dusty/ and or not cleaned we were simply told “we don’t do that”. No intent of fixing the situation. By that point we had already cleaned the place and was too late to book elsewhere. If location Is your primary focus you will love the place. If cleanliness is your focus I would suggest you find another place or come prepared to work before enjoying your stay here. There was also no pump hand soap in the bathrooms/kitchens and just one toilet roll in the bathroom so plan accordingly. Hope this review helps someone else when looking at booking this place! ##### william c. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa N.

Both kitchens had everything that would be needed. It was spacious and no one fought for a bathroom. It’s so close to everything that, when we needed take-out or fast run the the store it wasn’t a hassle. We loved it will be back! ##### Dulce L.
