Great location

Wonderful! We were in the area for a wedding and this house was perfect for our stay. Great location in a quiet neighborhood. Short walk to beach and also close to shopping and restaurants. The owner sent detailed information about the house and area before our trip, which was very helpful. Highly recommend!

Slice of Heaven

My family and I spent a week at Slice of Heaven and it was amazing. The house is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed to get us started on our vacation. We loved how close it was to the beach and how comfortable just staying in was. Any problems we had Rebecca was quick to respond and get the issue fixed. I definitely recommend staying at this beautiful home. The neighborhood is wonderful, and peaceful.

Another wonderful stay at “Slice of Heaven”!

My family is repeat renters at Slice of Heaven because we feel at home with the rental process and the comfort of the house. The proximity to the beach is basically a couple minutes until your feet touch the sand. The neighborhood is charming. The amenities in the house make it feel like home. We will continue to be return renters at Slice of Heaven for said above.

Slice of heaven

An apt name for the house. Very comfortable, clean, and a well stocked kitchen with plenty of utensils and dish ware. Our whole family enjoyed the space. Each bedroom has access to the outside deck. The neighborhood is quiet. The walk to beach access is five minutes away. Stores and restaurants are a short car ride away. Hosts left plenty of information for local spots to visit. The pool is a three minute walk away, and most times we had it to ourselves.

Quick walk to the beach

The house was as advertised. Communication with Rebecca was easy. It was actually closer to the beach than it looks on the map, which is a plus. Everything you need is less than a mile away. Our only negative had nothing to do with the owners or house but the HOA. They threatened to ticket us for being 2 inches past the fence line. It's a quiet neighborhood and it appears that the full time residents have nothing better to do but watch Renters. We'll be back to Destin soon.

great location

House location was great, just a short easy walk to the beach and a grocery store was a  short drive without having to deal with Hwy 98 traffic. The owner was friendly and communication was easy. Unfortunately we were only there 2 days - damn Hurricane Sally. All three beds seemed different, but can only truly say that the king upstairs is really firm. Downstairs living room was comfy. I believe the owner said she has plans to update the kitchen soon, but it was cute and functional and stocked with basics. If you are a big cook, you may need to bring specialty items. overall would definitely recommend.

Beautiful home- great host

Rebecca is amazing at communication! Her home is well appointed and comfortable. The neighborhood association is a bit intimidating but she lays out the rules up front so follow them! The only small issues we had were with the cleaning crew (one bed was left not clean and there was 1/4 roll of toilet paper total and no trash bags in any can except the kitchen) but Rebecca offered to resolve with a quickness. Location is excellent!

WE LOVED IT!!!

We absolutely loved our stay. Rebecca was incredibly helpful and kind, which made us feel right at home. The neighborhood is very nice and has a pool, however we spent most of our time at the beach (which is less than a block away). The location is perfect. There’s a Whole Foods, Publix, outdoor shopping mall, Bass Pro and plenty of places to eat within a mile. My family loved this vacation and we would definitely like to stay at A Slice of Heaven again.

Displaced by Hurricane Ida

Not only was the house perfect, the proximity to the beach was outstanding! My family was displaced by hurricane Ida and the owners/managers could not have been more accommodating. Will absolutely make this our regular beach spot in the future.

This home was perfect for our family of three. The house had everything we needed, was close to the beach, most importantly the beds were super comfortable. Also, the owner is wonderful, checking in with us to ensure we had everything we needed. Like others before us, we cannot wait to return for another visit in the future.

A slice of heaven

This property was great! Beautiful house, decor was immaculate, very clean which is a plus for me, location was ok for not being beachfront property. The website showed the outside being more inviting, that is my only complain was the landscaping was a little overgrown, and we didn’t use the outdoor amenities. The owner was great at communicating making sure we had everything we needed, and communication before going on the trip was also very good. I would recommend this property for anyone looking for relaxation, beach time, and making family memories!!!

The Bresnik family has taken so much care to make this home a place you would want to live in forever.

Back from Covid!

Rebecca was awesome to deal with! She was very responsive to any of our questions which helped us organize for our first vacation since the Pandemic started. House was beautiful and beds super comfortable. This is a very peaceful, extremely well kept and beautiful neighborhood with a very short walk to the public beach. The home's garden area and wrap around porch provided outdoor areas to really relax for morning coffee and after the day at the breach. The fire pit provided a nice touch to our evenings in the garden area. The pack n play was perfect for our grandson. Would highly recommend.

Perfect socially distant vacation

We decided to take a 14 hour drive to Destin to stay at this lovely home and spend time as a family, away from crowds and in our own space. We enjoyed everything about the home. It was beautiful, the kitchen was perfect & well appointed. We were able to do our own laundry, and even though it was just the three of us, make use of most of the space in the home. The host was lovely, easy to reach, kept in touch and even appointed the home with a pack and play for our son. We hope to be able to come back in the not too distant future! Thank you so much! Wonderful family memories made.
