    Everything was very good except the bar at the pool was not what we thought. There were no cupboards or doors covering the openings and no little refrigerator.The house itself and the pool were great! Location was also great.

    The house was perfect for our large group. The kitchen is big and has every convenience you could possibly need.Walk to the beach is easy. Golf cart is a nice bonus. Highly recommend Life Aquatic. Destin Dreamers really responsive and easy to work with

    We had 14 total family members. We loved the pool and the location of the house. The kitchen was fabulous!! There are a few maintenance issues that needs to be addressed. The downstairs ac condensation was leaking on the floor. Maintenance did come by to check but still needs further repairs. The landscaping lights in the pool area were out and a few lightbulbs were out in the pool. But overall the house was clean and very nice. We would highly recommend and stay again.

    House is great for a large group. Pool area good, but took several days to get hot tub fixed and the pool bar area was filthy, we had to clean it and it is stripped out, no frig, cabinets or running water.

    Our stay was fantastic! The house delivers as promised. A few minor repairs are needed but nothing that interfered with our trip. It is a beautiful and spacious house and the kitchen is well stocked which is very helpful. One of my few suggestions would be to have towel hooks or racks in all of the bathrooms.

    This was the perfect place for a family of 20 for thanksgiving weekend. Although it was cold outside we didn’t notice because we gathered around the large living room and kitchen area watching sports, playing games and cooking delicious food. The children loved the huge beautiful pool! We had to fight with the children to get them out the pool in the evenings.. I would say we had a problem trying to get the elevator to work but it wasn’t a problem because as soon as I called they sent maintenance over immediately and it was fixed. We had so much fun and we’re searching dates to return in April..

    Cannot say enough about this beautiful home. We had 18 adults stay for a week to celebrate my 50th Birthday. The location was perfect, within an easy walk or golf cart ride to the beach. We loved the outside covered porch and pool and spent almost everyday out there. The house was beautiful and very spacious. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen. There is plenty of room to spread out. Our only recommendation would be to clean up the landscaping around the pool and add a solid surface sidewalk to the outdoor shower, But I suspect the new owners have plans to do this very soon. We highly recommend this home.

    We loved Life Aquatic!! The pool was awesome!! We used it every day along with the hot tub. The house had more than enough space for all of us. The location to shops, restaurants, and the beach was great. The golf cart was a major plus!! We used it every day to run errands and to the beach. We would definitely recommend this house to everyone!! I would suggest a few sharp knives, we went out and bought on, because we couldn't find one sharp enough for what we needed. Also more coffee cups, and barstools are a little unsteady. We would definetly stay here again, it was a great trip!!
