About the owner: I'm a retired school librarian.
Why this property? I chose our place in Destin because of the beautiful white sand beach and emerald water in front of the house. I had looked at other places in Destin and found the water to be cloudy. It's also within driving distance of where I live. We're also close to Wine, Jazz, Seafood, Mullet, and Art Festivals and the Fishing Rodeo - all events, which I enjoy and anticipate yearly.

Patricia S.Beachfront Paradise
After multiple trips to the beach at this location on Scenic Gulf Drive, the quality and standard of the property is still outstanding. The home was immaculate and beautifully furnished. From the appliances and kitchen gadgets for cooking (if desired) to the toys available for small children, everything that can make you feel at home was provided to make the experience that more memorable. Each trip to the beach has been better and better and I look forward to my family's next vacation there.

James S.Great family getaway!
Our 2 families had a great time here. It was in a perfect location with everything close, golf courses, shopping outlets and restaurants. We will definately be back, hard to beat walking out your door right onto a beautiful white sand beach with plenty of activities nearby. They take great care of the place and have everything you need. Nice to have a kitchen to cook in and have nearby restaurant options. Owners were very easy to deal with and they make sure you have an enjoyable visit. I give this place an 11 out of 10! Thanks again Lois.

Seriously the best people to rent from and the views are amazing!
Me and my family stayed here over the Christmas holiday. The house was nice and tidy. The beds were comfortable too. The view is amazing! Unfortunately our vacation ended up not being a vacation because just 2 hours after we arrived my father had a heart attack and was rushed to the local hospital. The doctors had recommended bypass surgery and being so far from home (Texas) we didn’t know what we were going to do in regards to how long we might have to stay plus we had pets with us. I reached out to Lois, the owner of this property, and asked her to give us a quote for a few more days past our checkout date until we could figure out what to do because we honestly did not know how long we would have to stay with my dad having that kind of surgery. She offered her home to us as long as we needed it. I cannot express how grateful my family was to this kind gesture. Here we are so far away from home and so stressed out and not knowing anybody in the area and trying to figure out where we could stay with our pets and she offers her beautiful home! Thankfully It was determined by the surgeons that my dad did not need the surgery and instead had stents put in. So we didn’t have to stay too much longer past our original check out date. Not only is her home beautiful, Lois is a very kind is thoughtful person. I will definitely rent from her again. I highly recommend renting from her. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you so much Lois ❤️

Wonderful Beach Vacation
Our family of 12 people and 2 small dogs stayed in this townhouse for the second consecutive year. It is so conveniently located and is directly on the beach. The owner, Lois, is very easy to work with and a very nice lady. Lois and her husband update the townhouse regularly and keep it well stocked. There is a storage area downstairs that is loaded with balls, floats, umbrellas, and other beach equipment. If you are looking for a place directly on the beach and a place that is not so crowded, this is the place for you. It is fabulous.

Our Yearly Favorite Vacation Spot
It's that time again at our favorite vacation beach spot! It is so convenient to grocery stores, drug stores, outlet shopping, restaurants, leisurely activities to do, scooter rentals, parasailing (on the beach next to this property), souvenir shopping......,etc. Pampano Joe's is next door and one of our favorite restaurants in Destin. With it within a block away, if we are on the beach and just want to walk over and have lunch or dinner, what at better atmosphere than right on the beach, without getting all dressed up, not to mention dealing with traffic. This vacation spot is right on the beach , 3 stories with beautiful views! If we want to bring family or friends, it is very accommodating and sleeps 12 comfortably! The owner is extremely nice to work with and available for any questions or issues that might come up! She even allows pets which is one of the few vacation places that allows pets. Our family cat goes with us. Each year when we go, something new has been added or updated! It definitely has all the amenities and convenience of gadgets and small appliances, to an outdoor gas grill, to beach umbrellas, chairs, and sand toys. We love it here and highly recommend this home away from home vacation spot! Rhonda - 05/26/2018
