WHAT OUR GUESTS HAVE TO SAY:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Grey Whale is a perfect house for a multi-family stay. We had 7 families together in one house for a week and had plenty of room to be together yet have the personal space needed at times. The property management team was highly responsive and the cleaning staff did an exceptional job. We plan to rent this home again for future spring breaks. -Becky

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our stay at the Gray Whale was perfect! We had a large group of family from grandparents all the way down to a baby, and it worked for everyone! The location was perfectly situated right across from a beach access, and the large amount of rooms and bathrooms made it feel like we all had room to spread out. But the highlight of this house is for sure the backyard! We spent hours in the pool, playing cornhole, using the putting green and watching the NBA finals on the backyard TV. The property management company was so responsive and helpful and even stopped by to make sure we were enjoying our stay. Very friendly and easy to work with! We also loved the 1:30 check in time. We will definitely be booking this house again when we come back to Destin next summer. -Andrea

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an incredible stay at The Gray Whale with our family, and it was the perfect setting for our daughter’s wedding reception in the backyard! Everything was absolutely beautiful. The backyard is stunning, with a huge pool, fire pit, and even a putting green—it created such a fun and memorable atmosphere for our celebration. The house itself is impressive, spacious, and offers gorgeous views of the ocean right across the road. -Michelle

    Overall, it is great for a large family. Plenty of room for our family to spread out and sleep well. Convenient to beach and grocery. Ice cream shop almost next door. Really tasty. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the refrigerator to a larger unit. The home is large, but we had issues with freezer space. Also, have maintenance come in and check appliances, etc. We had to buy ice bc only one small ice machine was operable. Overall, we had a good trip and made many great memories.

    The house was just as advertised. We did have trouble with the pool/ hot tub heater after 2 people were sent out to look at it it still wasn’t heating properly. Eventually it got there the kids enjoyed the pool regardless of it being cold

    We absolutely loved the house! It accommodated all of our guests so well and had plenty of room! We had some issues with the elevator which was medically necessary for some of our guests but every time we called they were able to get it fixed! I do think the amount of towels and hand towels was not nearly enough for the size of the house, there were lots of people who either didn’t get towels in their room or had no washcloths. The only other thing was the cleanliness of the home. The floors were not cleaned and there were stains on some of the rugs in the room and possible vomit in some of the showers on the walls. The backyard was everything and more. We had our wedding reception and it was absolutely beautiful! Again we had some issues with the pool lights but maintenance was able to fix it and had them on all night for us. Other than the cleaning and amount of towels everything else was perfect.

    The property is as advertised. It's large, has a great game room the kids enjoyed, large pool with a very large spa connected to the pool. It's literally a 5 min walk to the beach, just across the street. Limited access beach and we had 2 chairs reserved for us, brought lots more ourselves of course. We had 20 people in the house, several couples and kids and it worked great. It was over Labor Day weekend 2024 so a busy time of year. I do want to comment that while the house is well stocked with dishes and appliances, there were no basic condiments, not a huge issue, but usually we expect salt, pepper, some cooking oil etc. Not enough garbage bag, paper towels dish detergent, or dishwasher pods for a 20 person group, we had to buy some of our own. The fire pit did not work and the maintenance person they sent said it hasn't been working for some time. Disappointing as it was something we did want to use. The biggest challenge we had was the 'spam' the company kept sending. I don't mind getting offers for things I may want to use on the trip, but they sent that offer several times over email. When I opted out, they started sending them over VRBO. VRBO should block these types of messages. It was several per day at times leading up to our stay. Overall this is a great property, the management team communicated well, sent people out when needed. Location is awesome and we had a great time.

    For the most part everything was great. Stove could use fixed up and another fridge would be great. Stationary switches for the fans would be great since some were missing. Grill got fixed so that was nice.

    the home was mostly as advertised, however it is definitely in need of some repairs and maintenance. All of the walls needed to be painted (not a big deal but it set a first impression that was backed up as we explored the home). Overall the house looked good, but there were a few things that really needed fixed. Most every shower had so little water pressure, you could bareley
