The house is just like the pictures and clean. It was a beautiful home that accommodated 5 adults and a 1 yr old. It was about a 10 min walk to beach but there was also a beach neighborhood shuttle that ran so that was great but they end at 5pm so we walked back to house. It wasn’t bad at all. We would definitely love to stay at this house again on our next trip to Destin! Book your stay you won't be disappointed! ##### LaDonna D.
