Fantastic home
We had a wonderful experience at this home. This rental allowed us to rent it for 10 days. Which was difficult to find for home rentals. This house was clean and so convenient to trips to the beach. We loved having the golf cart. We would definitely stay at this property again.

We loved having you stay and look forward to having you back anytime!
Perfect home in Destin for Party of Ten!
I can’t say anything negative about this home, it was perfect for all of our needs. The pool and hot tub were awesome! The backyard covered lanai was beautiful and perfect for family gatherings and eating dinner in the evenings. The kitchen and house was fully stocked with everything you could need. The golf cart was great to have for trips to the beach and to the local restaurants that were close. Overall it was a perfect week and Jan was a wonderful hostess. Thank you for letting us stay in your home. We would definitely come back next year!

Thank you for the review!
Amazing Family Vacation
This home is perfect for spending family time! The grandkids had a blast in the bunk bed room, doing what cousins do! The extra large washer in dryer kept towers dry for the kids, which was a task in itself! We fixed breakfast, took a dip in the pool, played games and took golf cart rides! Dinner most nights was grilling and cooking in the dream kitchen! Jan, the owner was so wonderful! Any time I text her, she was quick to respond! Close to the beach, we sat up canopy's on the beach in the morning, went back and forth to the beach from the house all day! The TV picked up movies and cartoons my husband and grandkids loved! We do a family vacation every two years, this place will be top of my list next Family Vacation!
