    Great location! Short walk to the private beach. The house was very clean. Just make sure you’re ready to climb stairs as described in the rental listing.

    We enjoyed our stay with friends. The location was within walking distance to the beach and the pool was very clean. It was nice to be right on the canal to fish during downtime. The set up of the home allowed for each family to be on one floor at a time. It would have been a huge plus to have the checkout time at 10/11am for flexibility. 9am felt a bit early but we made it work. Overall a good stay!

    We had a great time staying in Destin with family! The house was spacious and in an amazing location—just a short walk to the beach, which made everything so convenient. Overall, it worked well for everyone. That said, the cleanliness wasn’t quite up to our expectations, and we were a bit surprised by the extra charge to heat the pool per day. Still, we made some wonderful memories and really enjoyed our time together

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First time in Destin and now our new favorite spot. Captain Jax was just the right size for our party of 8. It was so peaceful sitting on the deck in the evenings. Being on the channel only a couple blocks away from the ocean was actually really nice. We highly recommend this home.

    Very nice and easy to get to. Just off the main road was close to everything we did during our week stay. Pool was great and property manager was quick to respond to anything we needed or questions we had!

    The checkin and house/local information upon arrival and during the stay was top notch! We asked for the pool to be heated upon arrival (for a fee) and it was!... which helped because our first few days there had colder weather. The pool has multiple gates to get through which was perfect to keep the little ones safe. The kitchen is pretty stocked with everything you need also they have a lot of beach chairs with a cart that came in super handy. The location is just a short 5 minute walk to the private beach which is also key because there weren't as many people on our beach compared to the public beach down the way which was packed. There is another fridge in the basement which was super helpful and having laundry was excellent. Also big tip for multiple families: The basement bedroom and the bunks next door is the best: Quiet, laundry right there and large bathroom and away from everyone when mornings tend to get noisy with kids.. Our friends who picked the master bedroom said they wished they'd picked our room in the basement instead. I think our only cons would be the living room could use new couches and a new rug - they seemed old and stained and a bit dirty - or maybe they just need a good deep clean. Otherwise this house is perfect for Spring Break and we thank the owners for hosting us!
