Stayed Jul 25, 2023Great location!! Needs some improvements especially downstairs. The railing on the upper deck is wobbly and needs to be fixed. My husband leaned on it and the entire thing moved, we had to make sure to tell all the kids to stay away from it and not to touch it. The chairs on the upper deck are rotted and broken and need to be replaced. The pool and the outside area is amazing. The upstairs is amazing. The downstairs is mainly just dated and old, electrical outlets in the living room need to be updated. Everything was clean and overall it was a great stay with no issues. The beach access that across the street is super small, and was packed !! We rented a golf cart for the week so we all hopped on it and went a few short blocks down the road to were there was inflatables in the water and the kids had a blast. Perfect location for beach, shopping, restaurants .

Stayed Oct 8, 2022We just left this house and while we loved the outside the inside was a fight all week long with cockroaches everywhere both upstairs and downstairs. The back bathroom by the pool that everyone essentially needs to use throughout the day if they're hanging outside is literally smaller than a typical closet and to get out to the pool you have to walk through the bathroom and shower which essentially makes that entire bathroom impossible to use if you have people coming in and out frequently. The upstairs is much nicer than the downstairs but the downstairs kitchen was not convenient for use at all, very small and zero utensils at all. The beach access while close is also not great because it is a small sliver of beach surrounded by private property so people get all jam packed in it and there's no room to actually relax at all. Overall it was liveable for the week but definitely not what we were expecting for the price we paid and by far the poorest experience we have had renting a house In Destin which we do often ):

Stayed Jun 18, 2022Overall, the house was great. Enough room and not far from the beach at all. I do wish both floors were connected, instead of having to use outside stairs for second floor. But, that didn’t stop us from having a great time.

Stayed May 1, 2022Overall we had a great stay- we LOVED the location and pool! The house is split into two separate units, with 2br/2ba upstairs and 3br/2ba downstairs. The stairs are located outside, which we were told about when we booked (not a big deal for us because we are all 35+). Overall, having the 3br (including the bunk room) but only 2 baths downstairs was a bit challenging. Additionally the downstairs bathroom is accessible from the pool area, meaning that the folks downstairs have to schedule showers/toilet time carefully (or carry everything upstairs). Parking is also a bit challenging (3 cars max), but the owner/rep (who was very nice) gave us some potential options for parking off-site. In the long run we just found a way to travel all 12 of us in 3 cars. The pool is very private and is where we spent most of the time! Very nice and plenty of room for all of us. The house itself is older and yes, could use some updates, but everything worked as needed (including the A/C) and served the purpose. Overall it was a great stay and would happily book again for a “friends group”! Thanks!

Stayed Mar 12, 2022The house could use some updating. The couch in the living room looked like the legs were taken off and just sitting on the floor. The back door to the pool needs to have a more day access to go out to pool. My daughter in law fell twice do to the fact the step fell off the blocks. I would have liked a mop to clean every couple days.. The front of the house lights were burned out and I called they were fixed the next day. I did call and tell her the dishes in both units were put away dirty. I was hoping for a refund for at least that. Location was great the heated pool was great but on Friday the heat seemed to be off but it rained anyway so I just let it go. Ellen was cordial and tried to be helpful but again I expected something for doing all the dishes before we could use them.

Stayed Dec 26, 2021Overall experience was good. Location was great having the beach right across the street. Upper level was outstanding. Bottom level not so much, damp, strong odor, and felt like a basement. Pool area was nice.
