Family Fun

This property was perfect for our family vacation including my husband and I, our 3 children and their significant others and 2 grandsons ages 5 and 2. The property is spacious and clean. The hosts are communicative and very kind. We enjoyed the beach with the help of their golf cart. (that we also rented from them). We also enjoyed the pool! We made lots of wonderful memories!

Beautiful and comfortable home near beach, great neighborhood!

Perfect beach house near everything needed and wanted. Backyard pool and yard was lovely and inviting. Porches and balconies from every room are so relaxing and enjoyable. House has many attractive features with beautiful flooring, kitchen, and bath, and open living area is a great place for everyone to gather. Child safety gate on back porch to pool area gave piece of mind, and other child friendly extras like crib and pool toys were much appreciated by our family! The golf cart is a wonderful option to have, making the trips to the beach with supplies and family or just fun little trips around the neighborhood a special treat! Hosts Mike and Leiann are easy to get a hold of and did a wonderful job preparing for our visit! Loved our stay, would come again to this outstanding property!

Great Place, Perfect Location

We had a wonderful spring break staying in this Destin house. The location is perfect—super close to the beach, plus all the shopping, dining, and a grocery store just around the corner. Everything was within a short drive or, even better, a quick golf cart ride, which the kids loved.The house had more than enough space for our two families (10 people total). Everyone had their own space to unwind, and it never felt cramped. The heated pool was very nice also. We really appreciated the convenience and how well everything was set up. It made our trip stress-free and fun for the whole family. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a spot in Destin.

Great Vacation Home in Destin

Our family (3 adult children and spouses and 4 grand children), spent the week at this beautiful home and location. The home had an awesome pool and the right amount of bedrooms we needed, and they were all very nice. The pool was the big hit with the grandkids, especially in the afternoon when it was mostly shaded. The neighborhood was great for walking to/from the beach and there were 2 other great beach options close bybas well. The hosts (Michael and Leiann) were phenomenal. They were super responsive to all our questions and provided great instructions regarding the house and amenities. We rented the golf cart they offered and highly recommend it, as it was a great option going to/from the beach and stores (and just fun to drive/ride in). We look forward to a return trip in the future. Thanks Michael and Leiann!

Great Family Vacation in Destin!

We had a great vacation at Livin' the Dream! We had three kids under 7 and seven adults and we fit wonderfully in the house. The kitchen was very well equipped, and everyone was very comfortable in their own bedrooms. We enjoyed the pool every day and it was a quick walk or golf cart ride to the beach. Mike and Leiann are great hosts and made it very accommodating to enjoy our vacation in Destin.

Big house that is close to the beach and restaurants

This a great house for a family trip. There is plenty of space and bedrooms with ample room to hang out. The pool is a very nice benefit to be able to enjoy when the beach gets a little to hot. The house has a new 6 seater golf cart that is perfect to take to the beach and restaurants, there is no need for your car once you arrive. We would recommend this house to anyone looking for a beach house in Destin.

An awesome house with a lot of amenities to offer, which included our linens, beach towels, beach chairs and a nicely stocked kitchen. The golf cart made it easy very easy to get back and forth to the beach. The private pool in the back made it very cozy for the late afternoon/early evening setting.

Wedding Week

This was such a great house! The cleanliness and extras that were provided was outstanding. My now husband and I got the house for our friends and family along with some of his troop from the Army and we all had an amazing time. From the location to the golf cart making trips to the gas station or down to the beach was absolutely incredible. The heated pool was a life saver with it being cold as well. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and will look into booking again.

Property Owners make the trip perfect

We stayed at Living the Dream for a week. Location to the beach is great! We did rent the golf cart which was absolutely perfect especially with little kids. The golf cart served as morning and evening entertainment for the kids and of course transporting people and chairs to the beach. Makes getting to the beach a breeze. Walking to the beach was super easy too. The house is a great place to stay. Everything you need is right there. We had to contact Mike a couple of times for things 100% out of his control and he responded within minutes. It really is so nice that the owner of this property (and not a third party company) communicates directly with us! He was so extremely pleasant and made everything so easy. One of the family members accidentally left some internet items behind. Michael was so responsive and had to go out of his way to get it returned. We so much appreciate his care and concern. On top of the great communication we were able to check in 2.5 hrs early!!! Not that it happens all the time but other places we have rented were so strict on the 4pm arrival time! It was nice working with someone that has the reflexibility of saying "yes, we are ready for you!" The location is so convenient to so many stores, restaurants and shops. Remember, rent the golf cart!!!! Thank you to Mike and Leiann for helping to make our week with the family that much better!!!
