May 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for our group of 6 adults and 5 children. Plenty of space. Close to beach. We had a great stay. Large rooms and plenty of space for our group. Pool was small but nice. Kitchen was well equipped. A few minor maintenance problems but overall in great shape. Upon arrival the door code didn’t work. We were on the phone with property management agent for 40 min with no luck on getting in. The physical keys didn’t unlock doors either, just the utility closets. Once we were finally able to talk to the right tech person, he was able to get the code reset in 2 minutes. Also, the nearby community steps to get to the street level and beach access had washed away. So we had to climb up a steep bank or walk around the block to get to the beach. Hopefully the steps will be fixed soon. We would certainly stay at this property again! ##### Jan M. Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Bobbie J. Jun 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This house is beautiful and very clean. Pool is small. Very close to beach, across the street, but there is no private access you have to go down the street to public beach access and it is very crowded daily. If you try to go to the closest access directly across the street from the house you are told it is private and you can not enter there or set up any beach equipment there. I found this disappointing. With it being a 6 bedroom you expect a large number of people to be staying and my only suggestion would be it defiantly needs a bigger washer and dryer. It is a very small apartment size washer and dryer and had to dry clothes two to three times to get them dry. Being at the beach I wash clothes daily and this took up so much of my time because units were so small. Over all lovely home and quite neighborhood. ##### Bobbie J.

House is big and very nicely decorated. Very conveniently located near beach. Spent lot of ti.e on brach, private pool. House is perfect for three families. Kids enjoyed play room. All TV have all available media packages, lot of entertainment. Overall a nice experience,we are very happy. ##### Prashant G. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Britney W., Tulsa, Oklahoma May 3, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Great Stay Overall Our group of 9 chose this property for the great location and large property size. Everyone was very comfortable and said the beds/mattresses were great. The walk across the street directly to beach access was ideal. Joey helped us contact beach rentals to get our chairs/umbrellas reserved in advance which was appreciated. The kitchen was well stocked and we prepared several meals during our stay. We did utilize the heated pool and enjoyed that. Overall we were very pleased with our stay. The negatives include lack of hot water, even if staggered showers the water never was above lukewarm. A few bedside lamps in bedrooms with no working light bulbs - I did send an email after check-in without response but decided it wasn’t worth going through a lot of trouble to have replaced. One of the bicycles had a flat tire and couldn’t be used. All minor complaints except for lack of basic amenities. Make sure to read the fine print in your rental agreements which describe a “starter pack.” This means 1 roll toilet paper per bathroom, 1 paper towel roll, 2 trash bags, 2 dishwasher pods, 2 laundry pods. We did not realize there were no extras until toward the end of our 4 night stay. You don’t want to have to run out and buy these things last minute before you leave so I texted management this time and was told they have “32 properties” and it’s “extremely expensive” to furnish extras but that we could have more toilet paper and trash bags... Just be aware the listing says luxury but do not expect enough of these amenities for a house of this size if you plan on staying more than a few nights. ##### Britney W. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa W. Jul 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house for a large family. The house was beautiful. The pool was small but a perfect size for small children with limited swimming abilities. Joey was quick to respond to us when we had issues with the poor working condition of the gas grill. Although it appears you can get quickly to beach from the Crystal Beach access across the street, that beach is private and you must walk past approximately 12 houses to get to the public beach. The public beach is about the size of 3 house lots and very crowded. The easiest access is to turn right out of house and walk along sidewalk to the intersection and entrance to public beach. It’s not a bad walk if you have a beach cart. You need to bring all beach items for this house. Beach towels are the only thing provided. ##### Lisa W.

The home was beautiful and the rooms so spacious. We had all needs addressed promptly by the property manager. I do understand how challenging it is to "stock" a rental home reasonably, but the one thing I would suggest is enough kitchen towels, paper towels and toilet paper. Had a broom but no dust pan. These were small things and we would 100% stay again. Highly recommend. ##### Laura E. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary D.

Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jessie H. Jul 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Week in July House was over all nice. It was wonderful to be 100 foot from the beach, and have our own private pool. Having 6 bedrooms was also a plus! However I was disappointed in not being able to check in even 30 minutes early after an 11 hour drive, also saddened by the 3rd floor shower in comparison to all the others of the house. The bikes required maintence prior to riding. Trash cans smelled so bad and were filled with maggots and over filling with trash upon check in. (What made it worse was the fact that we had to wait until exactly 5:30pm to check in do to "cleaning and inspection." Then we weren't even able to put our trash in the cans for our first 4 days...even after the property was "cleaned" before we got there. There was trash under all furniture. Dirty toenail clippings on the floor in the kitchen floor upon arrival. the house was left in better condition and cleaner than when we got there. Air conditioning on 2nd and 3rd floors were unable to keep those floors cool. Last night the 3rd floor bedroom was 80. 2nd story bathroom toilet flushes but needs extra attention and effort. ##### Jessie H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda R.

We recently stayed a week at this beautiful rental and absolutely loved it. Communication was quick and easy with the hosts. The home was gorgeous with a great location. We were so close to the beautiful beach. The entire group loved getting to go to the ocean at night and watching the little crabs run around. There were beach towels, beach chairs, sand toys ect. One of our favorite vacations yet! ##### Amanda R. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2022 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah W.

Sep 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing home - great location We had seven adults, a child, a toddler and two babies with us. This house was perfect! It was a super short walk to the beach - perfect for kiddos and older adults. The private pool was also perfect for the kids! The house is set up with large families in mind - and the sitting area is so great for comfortable conversations with plenty of room for cooking, eating and kids playing. Very luxurious and comfortable. The king beds are amazing! We also loved how big the showers and bathrooms were! I’d absolutely stay at this location again. It was perfect for us. If you’re on the fence about booking this house, take this as your sign to book it now!!! ##### Summer C.

We have been coming to Destin for several years and we will keep this home at the top of our list for next year. ##### Tammie G. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pam G.
