SunKissd in Destin, FL
My wife and I rented a 7 bedroom, 6 bathroom house accommodating 26 people and 6 cars from Travel Life Vacations. It was a terrific week with the 17 members of our family ready to sign up for a week in September 2022.

Great Thanksgiving
We spent a week here and it was perfect. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner for 20 and had everything we needed in the kitchen. Plenty of room for everyone. The heated pool was great. Walking distance or golf cart ride to the Beach, The Crab Trap and O’Quiqley’s.

Paul D."Hot, Hot, Hot"
Thank you Ryan for sharing your beautiful house with us. It was everything we could have dreamed about and the golf cart was a very nice bonus. We liked the large kitchen on the first floor, with all the amenities of home and the comfortable beds.. It was hot and humid all week, so after about 3 PM, the nice size pool was too warm to be refreshing, but there were plenty of seats to enjoy talking and planning for tomorrow. The washer/dryer came in handy, as well. On the downside, we had a TV problem, but Ryan had it fixed by the next day. The TV booster plug, behind the sofa, had fallen out of the socket, so that all the TV's in the house were out. Then, the ice maker was not making ice very fast. Also, something needs to be done about the $4 toll plaza for the bridge to Destin. It took us a long time to get across the bridge. I know you can't do anything about this, Ryan, but why can't the officials make it an "automatic picture taker" like the first toll? Overall, we loved "Ocean Kiss'd", but unfortunately we can't return in 2019.

JenWonderful Family Vacation Home!
Ocean Kiss’d was a beautiful home that was located at a great spot! Close to the beach and close to shopping and restaurants. The rental includes a golf cart that was so handy! The pool was amazing! This is the perfect space for a large family vacation, lots of beds and bathrooms. We did have a hiccup with one of the toilets but nothing to ruin a trip over. I highly recommend this rental and hope to rent from Ryan again!
