I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was large and had a great location being so close to the beach. Amenities were bare bones - we understood no beach towels / chairs, but we had hardly any toilet paper, 1 extra trash bag, and 1 dishwasher tablet. This required going to the store almost immediately. For this much money, I would have expected more stocked in the house. ##### Kelly F.

The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There was an infestation of bugs. We couldn’t even cook on the stove or oven because the bugs LITERALLY crawled out of the stove while we cooked and got in our pots and pans, I’ve never seen a bug infestation like this. The rental company came out and “treated” the house after we brought this issue up, but the bugs did not go away. ##### savanna n. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nelson H. Jul 1, 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family vacation We were so excited and the house is beautiful. BUT we checked in to a house that was dirty. Dishwasher was full and dishes were dirty. Turns out, it didn't work properly. Management responded to get the service out to clean but by then 17 people were in the house and awkward to tell her what all needed cleaning. Service order put in for dishwasher and they came while we were trying to prepare dinner. That's when we found out only 1 electrical plug worked in the kitchen. Another call to the management company and an electrician finally came on Wed ( we checked in on Saturday). We hope that our experience makes it better for the next family. The home is lovely, large and very close to the beach. I would recommend but am disappointed that the management company did not consider more refund for the many problems. ##### Nelson H. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### stephanie h. Jun 22, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Great location But!! Great location, but can’t do the bugs and dirty pool! This was our first trip to Florida. We had a great time. The beaches were beautiful, Crab Island was amazing, dolphin tour was a blast and everyone was great! The house was OK! When we arrived, the house was very clean, pool was running and crystal clear. The evening we arrived we ended up unpacking and decided to order pizza. As everyone was eating, we started noticing roaches along the kitchen counters, they even got into our pizza and had to throw it away. At first we thought it may have came from the pizza! We decided to clean it all up and we put a plate of food out to see if there was more, and there was. This went on the whole trip. We contacted the people and they said they would come out and spray and we don’t think they ever did. We ended up putting all food in the refrigerator and not keep ANY open foods on the counter or in the pantry! We even noticed the roaches in the downstairs bedroom and bathroom! The first night while we were hanging in the pool, we noticed rats running along the white trim of outside of the house. At first we thought we were seeing things, until we seen it again. My brother and son ended up going to the 2nd floor balcony and sure enough, there was one on there. We never noticed anything inside the house, but we made sure all doors were kept shut at all times! The first 2 days the pool was crystal clear, circulating each day and staying clean. The rest of the days, the pump never turned on, the water level started dropping and the pool was very cloudy and unable to see the bottom. Thank goodness for the beautiful Miramar Beach, the water was clean, clear and cool! Overall the house was very spacious for the amount of people we had. The location was great. Walking distance to the beach, souvenir shops and restaurants. We will definitely be back, but unfortunately not to this house!! ##### stephanie h.

House was pretty clean. Pool was a bit dirty when we got there but. Someone came to clean it the next day.

Noticed the floors were extremely dirty. Called the property management and they sent a cleaning crew over to vacuum and mop. There was no propane gas for the grill. Contacted property management, and they sent someone over with a replacement. Dishwasher did not work, contacted property management and they sent a repair man over to fix the issue. Disappointed due to the issues and our understanding that an inspection was to be conducted prior to our arrival. Would not recommend this property or other properties associated to this management group even though they did correct the issues when notified. ##### Kerry A.

Aug 21, 2023 #### Family of 19 Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 19 ranging in age from 1 to 66 enjoyed this house for 6 days in Aug. 2023. We also stayed in this house May 2021. Perfect for our large group. Close to the beach and the private pool was awesome. There was a problem with the A/C on the 2nd and 3rd floors, got really warm. Beach Blue had HVAC out the next morning (on a Sunday) to work on it. Still wasn’t cooling as it should, they came out again that afternoon and found another problem and it was fixed. They even came back the next day to make sure. We understand things happen but their customer service was awesome. It is a great house for a large group. We loved it and if we do another family vacation in Destin, this is where we’ll stay! ##### Steve P.

Reviewer Comments: Where do I start!! The house was absolutely beautiful. The location was perfect and I can just go on and on about the size of the pool that was a great size for my large family. We had more than enough space for my family of 15! Unfortunately the weather was not that great but we spent that time at the house enjoying the various balcony views and the living space to spread out. Everything we needed was there and everything we wanted was in walking distance. I was beyond pleased with the availability of contacting and communicating with the rental office. I would love future updates of availability for this house as we love to come to Destin yearly. This house was a 10 out of 10 and Ihighly recommend it! ##### Giovana A.

Plenty of room for the 12 of us with empty beds still. Walked to the beach everyday (maybe 3 min walk), right next door to Alvin’s, ice cream, coffee place, restaurants. Pool was nice with plenty of chairs. House was fully stocked. Beds were sooo comfy! Will definitely stay here again!!! ##### kisha y. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Ali M. Jul 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### A few more supplies would be good The house is great. Really nicely decorated and great set up for larger groups/multiple families. We were a party of 9 so a few extra beds. That said, it would feel cramped if there were 20 people in the party. My big complaint is that for price I don’t expect to have to supply toilet paper, kitchen paper, dish soap, etc. In all the years I’ve stayed in a VRBO I’ve never had to supply these and have always found the kitchen had basic supplies - salt, pepper, oils, kitchen foil etc that admittedly other guests have left behind. I would also expect beach chairs and towels to be provided. I can’t believe we are the only guests to fly in and not be able to bring these things. Also to only have one kitchen towel and no kitchen cleaning supplies to wipe down the kitchen counter seems crazy. Just disappointing to have to spend a lot on basic kitchen supplies. We also could have used the two/three chairs that were on the porch just off the main floor bedroom- but the exterior door in that room to the porch was locked (and no key) and no way to get to them. Exterior landscaping could be better maintained. It’s a great house but those small things would make a huge difference and wouldn’t cost the owner much to provide. My final comment was that the house instructions supplied prior to arrival said no hair dryer was provided (again that’s a first) so we brought one with us - only to find three in the house. We had a great week despite these minor details ##### Ali M. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### David I.
