This was the nicest VRBO that our family has ever stayed at! Everything was beautiful, and we loved the setup, with the bedrooms on the cool first level, the lake, the beach, the pools, and the town.
Overall tremendous experience. I love the atmosphere and the short trek to all the main spots. It was relaxing and peaceful. The place was fantastic and had more amenities than I could have ever expected.
The condo was clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay. The walk to beach was a little longer than expected but wasn’t bad and made easier with the provided wagon and chair set up service. Checking in and out was easy. Donna was lovely!
This was the perfect getaway for our family of 4! We enjoyed a lot of quality time as a family, the kids were able to have their own space in their room to play games and relax and watch a movie. They loved feeding the turtles in the lake. Everything about the trip was amazing!
This place had everything we look for when traveling! The location was fantastic as it's a short walk to the beautiful sand and water, it had a fully stocked kitchen for anything that we needed, and such an amazing host/manager. I can not say enough about the manager and the host of this property, any issue that came up, they were right there to answer any questions and help. My family felt very comfortable here and we are already looking forward to coming back.
We enjoyed our stay and the beautiful lake view. We ate on the deck everyday overlooking the lake (both morning & night). The beach was a few steps away from the house, umbrella service made it super easy to enjoy without schlepping tons of stuff with us. The townhome is centrally located with stores and restaurants all within walking distance.
Our family had a quick get away and enjoyed the proximity to the beaches, stores, restaurants and more. The condo was exactly as pictured. It was clean, quiet, and included everything we needed for a great time. You can tell the owner wants to ensure your visit is a great one. 🙂
My family and I enjoyed our stay. The townhouse was very clean and in a beautiful location overlooking the lake. Beds comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We appreciated the use of the beach cart and backpack cooler! Walking distance to a few restaurants and shops. Looking forward to staying here again.
If you’re looking for a home a away from home this is your property. Very clean and nice layout. The property is as described in the listing. I would definitely stay here again next year if it’s available the week we want.
We had a wonderful stay at Donna's unit! It was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed. A few bonus' were the provided beach buggy, beach chairs and towels plus the nice bath products! Also, free Netflix too. We'll be back soon. Cheers!!
The lakeside beach house did not disappoint. It was beautiful and provided everything we needed for the beach. Our family enjoyed everything it had to offer. The separate living space upstairs, the short walk to beach, beautiful views. It was nicely decorated and very clean. The beds were incredibly comfortable too! ( for a week long getaway that’s important!).
The condo was just as it appeared in the photos online, the inside was very nicely renovated and had everything we needed. The beds were all comfortable, with nice linens. Donna was very available as was her property manager, if we needed anything. Other than not having the best weather, we had a great stay and would come back again!
This was a great condo with very nice interior finishes and amenities. It’s location on the lagoon was peaceful and beautiful with wonderful decks to enjoy the view. The beach was pristine and to have chairs and an umbrella provided made the experience so easy. The tennis courts were in excellent condition and we enjoyed playing as well as using the pools. The location was great – we were within a mile and a half of most places we went to eat, entertain, and a Target and a grocery store were just across the road. It was just the vacation we needed.
We had a great stay! We had everything we needed- the beach chair setup was so nice! The wagon that was provided was a huge help for our little walk to the beach. We loved feeding the turtles from our balcony! The owner stayed in contact with us to make sure we had everything we needed which was awesome. Centrally located to so much in Destin- outlets, restaurants and boat rentals. The best part was the private beach- not overcrowded like some of the huge high-rise condos. The unit was cozy and clean. Thank you for having us! Loved reading the guestbook!
Our family stayed at Lakeside for a week. We had a great time! The beach and water are beautiful and the beach service for chairs and umbrella was great! The owner provided more than expected as far as beach items; a beach wagon and cart, coolers, boogie boards, 2 chairs, sand toys (we only brought half of what they had to the beach). The owner was fantastic at responding when we had a question about where to view fireworks. So glad we didn't book a fireworks cruise since we got an amazing first row 10 minute fireworks display on the beach for free! We only ate out once at Fudpuckers. It was good food, but be aware they spice it pretty well, even the fries. The turtles were a huge hit with the kids and adults alike. Pots and pans were fantastic. We cooked pretty much every breakfast and dinner, usually sandwiches for lunch. Also, the soaps were all very high quality! And we appreciated having the 4 beach towels in addition to the ones we brought. Having a full size washer and dryer was great too, since it was running almost everyday. The Destin Boardwalk Harbor is close by and we took a Dolphin cruise with Olin Marler and had a great time, the boat had A/C! Highway 98 traffic is terrible, but it is a popular area. All in all a wonderful trip! If only it wasnt such a long drive from upstate SC.
We stayed for five nights at the Lakeside Beach House. We have two boys, ages 11 and 14, and the house was perfect! Our whole family enjoyed our stay very much.
Donna checked in with us frequently. As soon as the house was ready, we received a text that we could check in a few hours earlier than expected.
On our first day, we went to the beach in the late afternoon. We quickly found two men who helped us get chairs and an umbrella. We were placed in the second row, but when we arrived the next day at 9:00, one of the men told us we were already set up in the first row because he sensed I was a little disappointed being in the second row. The chairs and umbrella were set up before we even got to the beach for the rest of our stay.
When we arrived, the house was clean. We all enjoyed feeding the turtles with the turtle food provided, which lasted us all week. The house was stocked with everything we needed. I brought additional toilet paper, paper towels, and dish soap, but I never needed them. I did one to two loads of laundry daily, so I brought and used my detergent and dryer sheets, but two pods were provided for free. The house was around a five-minute walk to the beach. The king bed was one of the comfiest beds I have ever slept on. Donna provided links to the bed and bedding, which was so kind. The beach house is in a great location near shops and dining.
We had a great time and have no complaints at all!
Donna was absolutely amazing with making sure our stay was very smooth and relaxing! The home was very clean and stocked with everything we needed for our stay at the beach. We will for sure be back!
