    What a great property! Stocked kitchen, clean house, plenty of linens and an awesome balcony with a great breeze. Pool is about 2 minutes away. The beach is a 15 minute walk. Great location. Would definitely recommend this property.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. The location was convenient and the space fit our family's needs well. We were traveling with 3 young kids so the bunkbeds were a great fit as well as the crib and highchair. However, there was a lack of some household amenities like trash bags and basic cleaning supplies (dishwasher pods, laundry detergent, etc.) It would have been nice to know this before hand so we could have planned ahead. The property was also not ready at 4:00 PM the day of check in. We had to wait 3 hours for our rental to be ready. That is a long wait with 3 young children.

    Had a wonderful spring break in Destin with my family. Big Tuna was a lovely house. The pool was great and short walk to the beach. We ran out of gas for the grill and management was very responsive and replaced the tank the next day. I wish they had provided more dish soap and some of the pans in the kitchen need to be replaced. Otherwise everything was great

    The house was called The Big Tuna. It was very clean. It was 10 mins walk to the beach. We didn’t get to swim at the lagoon, but it looked great. Looks like a lot of people enjoyed it just by driving by it. Easy instructions how to clean before leaving the house. We really enjoyed our 4 day stay. Definitely recommend.

    Property is well kept and clean, everything was in order when we arrived. Came for a spring break week with our college kids, and it was great. Plenty for the college kids to do, with the beautiful heated pool, and the shuttle to the beach and back.No trouble getting ubers

    We loved the place. Just wish there would have been a few more supplies such as dishwasher and washing machine detergent. Also garbage bags. The one in the kitchen was not enough. Perhaps also another light in the living room area. One of the beach umbrellas was broken. However we did love the location and the pool.
