    The house was perfect for our family. We traveled with our children, grandchildren, and dogs. There was plenty of room to spread out. The beach was easily accessible. I appreciated the communication with Destin Dreamers before and during our stay. They were very helpful and responsive. We look forward to returning.

    The house was wonderful. The only issue we had was at the community club house security guard. My family was profiled and harassed Monday June 29th, by the security guard that was on duty. Other than that our stay was fabulous.

    Wonderful stay at Sweet Caroline! Management was extremely responsive to concerns or issues. The only issue was beach access. We were under the impression we could cross the street through the gated community to the private beach. That was not the case. Other than that, it was a wonderful stay! We hope to be back soon!

    This was a lovely home in a great location inside a gated community on the east side of Destin. Our family enjoyed our time here, and the communication from the property management company was great.I have no major complaints, but I think others should be aware that this home is starting to show the signs of wear that many rental properties have after years of use. Certain items in the house (furniture, shower heads, appliances) were damaged, we saw a few roaches, etc. It probably needs to come off line for a week or two in order to get some maintenance and have a deep cleaning.

    The property was beautiful and clean. Very close to beach and many beach supplies in the garage. There was plenty of room for our group of nine. The pool was beautiful and we used it daily. The Destin Dreamer entertainment activity service was invaluable for booking golf and kid activities. Please consider providing the community gate code so guests can easily enter. We had to wait for a kind neighbor to let us in.

    Beautiful house, great location 3 to 4 blocks from beach although we golfed most of the trip so did not get much beach time. We had so much room at a reasonable price. Just a note to future guests, the kitchen was pretty well equipped, but make sure you bring baggies, foil, dish soap etc, they did have salt pepper and coffee filters, but that was the extent Of the paper products.
