    We had a very nice time. Just a few things. The refridgerater was either a little too warm or froze some items in the bottem drawers. The lock for the bathroom door between the bunk room and the other bedroom didn't work resulting in someone being walked in on. Loved the hot tub but would have been nice to have a few instructions on maintaining the temperature. A stove vent would be nice. Lastly, the internet service was kind of spotty. There were times when it would just stop. Mostly in the morning. Aside from those things it's a great house for a family. Plenty of comfortable beds! The living area is really nice and open and spacious! Love the multiple doors to the pool. Other than the internet and the bathroom door lock would definitely stay there again. Also, the property managers were great. Really accessible and very responsive!

    We had an overall great stay at this Destin VRBO. The home was exactly as described—spacious, clean, and located in a safe, gated community. It was a great setup for our group, and we really appreciated how friendly and visible the community/security staff were throughout our stay.There were just a couple of issues worth noting. The hot tub was difficult to use, as there were no instructions provided for the controls. It ended up being a bit of a guessing game trying to figure out how to operate it and keep it warm, which took away from the experience.Additionally, after checkout, I was contacted about missing community bracelets that we were apparently responsible for. We were never informed about these upon arrival, nor were we asked to verify or count them at any point during our stay. While there was a basket behind the door mentioning the number issued and a replacement fee, this wasn’t clearly communicated in the house rules or by the property management team. Because of that, the follow-up felt unexpected and somewhat frustrating.I would also recommend that the towels they provide suit the amount of guests the house can accomodate. We ended up washing towels more often than one would want to on a vacation. Overall, this is a great property in a wonderful area, but clearer communication—especially regarding amenities and expectations like the bracelets—would make the experience even better.

    Overall our stay was good. We had a large family gathering and there was penty of room for everyone. The proximity to he beach is great and the neighborhood is good. We didn't like that you are not allowed to use your own umbrellas at the beach. That is a weird and useless rule. We also had issues with the pool and hottub heat, but the company was responsive and it was sorted out. Unfortunately, it took a couple of days to heat up so we did not get to use it much. The house is a bit dated and needs new furniture in the living room. It is also very loud and echoes because of the large staircase, high ceilings and tile floors. It really needs some sound deadening. Lastly, there were quite a few roaches, and I inderstand it is Florida, so its a constant battle, but it needs to be addressed.

    Tons of space and great location to the beach! Floor layout on the bottom is a bit odd but worked for us. All of the spacious balconies and outside pool area were perfect for our getaway!!

    This house was great and we really enjoyed our experience in this area. The house is a very short walk from the beach and we enjoyed the private pool as well. I would definitely recommend this house for a large group!

    Nice property with a great location. Check in was very easy and very close to community beach access. Only complaints is the bathrooms could use a little updating and pool could be cleaned more than once a week with all the trees around. Overall great stay!

    The property is well suited for a large group, and the location is excellent. Access to shopping and dining is very easy given the location of this property. The neighborhood management staff were friendly and helpful. We were able to easily accommodate four vehicles (3 SUVs and a minivan). The neighborhood appears to have a significant number of rules, but they are not hard to follow and the management staff was not overly picky about the rules. The house easily accommodated our party with plenty of space for all. The kitchen was a bit understocked in my experience as far as dishes and cookware. The pool was a nice treat to have after coming off a beach day. The private beach is wonderful. Our spot was moved all the way to the end of the private beach to give preference to gulf-front home owners, but not much you can do about this given Florida law. Overall, a very enjoyable and relaxing experience. Highly recommended.

    A smoke alarm that went off every day. A beach house with a pool, but no towels for either. Minimal supplies (one roll of tolet paper per bathroom, no salt or pepper, less than one coffee filter per day, less than one laundary tablet per day, less than one dishwasher tablet per day.) All in all, an experience we would not repeat. For the price, luxury was expepected, instead less than mediocrity was delivered.

    We enjoyed our stay we had plenty of room, pool was amazing close to beach, it is a little walk but not bad two blocks. Hot tub didn’t hear but I failed to call till our last day so they weren’t able to fix it before we left. We’d definitely stay again should we be this way!

    We enjoyed the wonderful location, short walk to the beach. Property management was extremely responsive any and all needs. The pool and the hot tub were not exceptionally inviting as the pool was not clean when we arrived and the hot tub had issues. We had to call about it several times but I will say that each time we called someone came out. Cleanliness was not top notch which is the only reason I can't give the property 5 stars. The area around the pool was litered with toys and candy wrappers. Found candy under the cushions of the sofa and glass on the floor. The space for six girlfriends was great and the house is a good value.

    Basically the only complaint I have about my stay is that the Pictures of where the house is located was deceiving. I wanted and thought I was paying for a house located on the Ocean side, the view looks like you step out on a white sandy beach, but we had to walk about a block away. I wanted to watch the waves and drink my coffee. The view in the picture is actually through two house in front of you. The hot tub kept having an issues draining itself, maintenance was quickly there to fix that. Besides my view, the house is beautiful. The weather was perfect! ocean side
