Apr 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful beach and location We had a great stay at this house. A few things I would note: 1) super important - the pool is not heated. Unfortunately we were not able to get in the water at all during our stay, 2)there are only 2 beach chairs provided at the beach and you're not allowed to bring your own. Additional chairs are 40 for the day each, so pretty pricey, 3)) the entertainment system wasn't working at the house, so you'll need to bring your own Bluetooth speaker or use the TV sound if you want to play anything. 4) there weren't many trash bags or toilet paper provided, for a large house and only 4 days we ran out quickly.Other than that, the beach nearby is very convenient and access and beautiful! The decor/ home is very dated if that's something you care about, but the beds are comfortable and the management team is quick to respond for your needs. ##### Uttara K.

The owner was very responsive. What I loved most about it is it’s segmented enough where multiple families can stay together and have a great time but still have privacy and escape to their own section of the house when needing a break. We will definitely be staying here again! ##### Ben S. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2019 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan S.

Had nearly everything we needed. The AC on the first floor was not working when we arrived. We called John and he had a repair man out in 30 mins and it was fixed right away. It was a fun relaxing weekend . We also had the luck of catching the Destin seafood festival which was awesome. ##### Ryan S. ### 6/10 Okay #### Annette L.

Great girls getaway! ##### LaKesha S. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### stephanie g., denver, NC May 22, 2019 #### Destin Beach house Overall- great experience and house was excellent. We are very particular, I will start with the pros: - the house is gorgeous inside and out. Also- the house was very clean. Most pet friendly houses that we have previously rented are not as clean. -location is spot on; we spend so much time on the beach and it's such an easy walk and the beach is private as well as very wide. (nice touch having 2 chairs that come with the house) - Safe, it's in a gated community, very quiet; we have teens that we felt very comfortable letting them come and go on their own - Huge- the house is gigantic; we only had 7 people and did not even use the bottom floor. - the kitchen is well equipped with everything that you will need. - Living room is spacious and has plenty of comfortable seating for everyone Cons: - our biggest complaint was the blinds in the bedrooms; one particular bedroom the shades are half broken and a ton of light goes through the window (it's hard to sleep in). Even in the other bedrooms, so much light. This nice of a house needs room darkening shades - A few general maintenance needs to be done- the rails going go to the house need to be tightened and a lot of light bulbs are burned out. -We didn't use the pool, but walked out to the pool area and it was a mess with beer cans everywhere. Pool was a mess- but we didn't use or let the management know ahead of them that we wanted to use the pool- so we can't really complain about this. Cleaning crew does need to clean up the pool area before new guest arrive This is not a con for us, because we are always competing with each other on who in the family gets the most steps- but be aware of the steps to get into the house. Lots and lots of steps- but that means more activity level. Overall- this was an excellent house and we would recommend this house. Thank you for sharing your georgrous house with our family! ##### stephanie g. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2019 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Annamaria V. Sep 8, 2013 #### Nice on the surface...but in need of upkeep! On the outside, Katrina is great! However, after we arrived, we found the house in need of quite a bit of TLC. My husband and I were hosting about 16 other family and friends for a beach bash extended weekend. As much as they charge for Katrina, I would have thought it would be in better condition. If we'd paid peak season rates, I would be even more upset and possibly asking for some sort of refund. Here is the list of things needing improvement: furniture on the balconies is old, rusted, torn, broken, and missing. Our balcony had a table and one chair. There is bird poop over the majority of the third floor balcony, and on most of the railings around the house. The dining room chairs are okay, but a few are ripped and have been for a while. The mattresses in the bunk room are deplorable. So bad that my friend slept on the sofa instead. The sofa in the main living area is very old with no support; you sink at least a foot when you sit down. The cooking utensils are random and many are broken. There is not a single dish cloth, hand towel or POT HOLDER in the kitchen. I had to use a bath towel to get cinnamon rolls out of the oven! The grill was disgusting and didn't light so we could not use it. Even if it had worked, I’m not sure I would have let my food be cooked on it. The dishwasher kept trying to roll out of the cabinet and did not seem to be connected. The 1st floor shower head is broken. Lastly, the TVs in some of the rooms are about 20 years old. That being said, overall we had a great time and the beach is stunning with powder-white sand. Reasonable rates to rent umbrella/chairs. ##### Annamaria V.

That being said, there were a few issues we encountered. We arrived to the property at the scheduled check-in time, and the house cleaners were still there. They left within 20 minutes and repeatedly said, "we did our best" but explained that there had been a large party of girls staying there over the weekend. We didn't feel the house was completely clean and it was ; there were bits of trash on the kitchen table and living room table, 2 of the trash cans were not empty (though not all that full). There was barely any toilet paper in the house; we had to immediately go out and buy several rolls. We also had to buy paper towels for the kitchen, dish soap, and there were zero garbage bags. As rental-property owners ourselves, these are items that the owner typically provides so that guests do not have to purchase these day-to-day necessities. The remote control for the tv in the living room was missing; we were informed that one was being "over-nighted" to the property. We did not receive the remote until 2 days prior to our departure, and it didn't work once it arrived. There were workers present throughout the duration of our stay working on laying tile on the front porch, rendering the front porch completely unusable which doesn't seem like a big deal, but this meant there wasn't a balcony our whole family could sit on in the evenings listening to the ocean which is one of our favorite vacation activities. We were informed prior to our arrival that the crew would be there, but it was a pesky annoyance to have them there every day. We had to keep the blinds closed to the front porch where they were working and the crew parked in the driveway. We were not able to adjust the thermostat on the main level, and it got way too warm at times! The temperature of the house should absolutely be under the control of the guests. We needed a rocking chair for our 7 month old but there is not one at the property. This is not something easily transported from out-of-state where we visited from and it would have been easy for the owner to provide an inexpensive one. All in all, the pros outweigh the cons. The interior is very nice, the description of the property and photos are accurate. The owner was very accessible to answer any questions. Definitely recommend the house.

Easy walk to a beautiful beach. Only caution: LOTS of steep stairs. We had a few elderly in the group who had some difficulty navigating, but they all had a great time regardless. ##### Benjamin M. Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rick W. Oct 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Destin 2022 We loved the property and the support we received from the property management. Beach access was wonderful and the home is fairly well maintained. Overall the house is very nice. However, some small items like broken blinds, dresser drawer knobs that fall off and need replacement and excessive furniture wear /tear (upstairs desk chair cushion torn) were our only discrepancies. My only really negative comment comes regarding the back yard and gas grill. The back yard landscaping, patio area, and patio furniture need cleaning. The bottom of the gas grill is completely rusted out and only half of the burners work, making it very difficult to use. Overall, we had a great time and our family of 12 thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It’s a great location and we plan on coming back. ##### Rick W. Stayed 14 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ellen M.
