Great Stay

This was a great place to stay for a couple of family’s wanting to experience the beach together. The pool is large for a private pool which is a plus. The house does need to be updated though, a couple of appliances didn’t work properly and there needs to be some type of pantry storage.

Good value for beautiful Destin

Wildwood Cottage was nicely located within walking distance to multiple public beaches, restaurants, and shopping. The pool and pool area are wonderful. The front porch is lovely. Both master suites were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen could use a new fridge but the dining area worked for our group of 7 for dinners and cards at night. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Family vacation

We love coming to Destin and always have great service with RealJoy and Homeaway. The property was a little unkempt and the pictures are somewhat deceiving but in all we had a fabulous time. It was very nice having the 2nd living quarters and we will continue to use RealJoy and Homeaway in the future.

Good location, nice pool needs some TLC

Good location and nice pool. House needs some TLC as it’s worn looking in some areas. It also needs a good deep clean - e.g. master shower has moldy tiles/grout. Cookware leaves much to be desired and found a cockroach in the coffee maker.

Thanksgiving at the Beach

This beach house was amazing. We had 7 adults, 1 teen, a 2 yr old and 2 infants. We felt so comfortable and felt we had plenty of room. The table was long and fit all of us very well. Since we were cooking each night and Thanksgiving dinner, we brought a few baking dishes and pots and pans from home. However, the kitchen was very well stocked and we didn’t really need our things from home. The location of the house is amazing. It’s a very short walk to 2 different beach entrances. We loved walking around the neighborhood and riding the golf cart that we rented. We always felt very safe. The pool out back was heated and provided a great deal of entertainment for the kids. There are plenty of chairs around the pool for all to enjoy. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week with our family and would definitely rent this house again!

Average at best

The landscaping is out of control, we could barely even find the house! On the fridge it states that they come every other week on Tuesday but between the front yard and the pool area - it doesn't look like the landscaping has been touched in a year. It doesn't give a good first impression. When we arrived we were carrying things in so my 10 month old was crawling on the floor - I picked him up and his legs and feet were so dirty. I called and they sent someone out to clean the floors the next morning. Overall, the house could have been more clean. Dirty air vents, etc. I understand that this is an older home which you can tell by the photos but it needs to be clean. The bathroom downstairs - the tub wouldn't drain so we bought drano and cleaned out the debris to make it functional. The bedrooms are SO small! Small meaning to close one of the bedroom doors you had to move the bed to get the door to close. Also, to note, you have to walk through one of the bedrooms to get to the back yard. There were a few broken chairs in the back - one of the metal chairs that goes with the table and umbrella was a hazard where half of the back had rusted off. Just didn't appear that the house had much love and TLC. I love the Destin area and will be back however I will not be staying at this home again.

Cute house near the beach

We had a fantastic time! The house was just as described and in a perfect location. We paid extra to heat the pool, and although it wasn’t as warm as I hoped, it was nice enough to get to enjoy the pool in January. The proximity to the beach was the best perk. I would definitely stay here again.

Liked that we could walk to the beach and restaurants. Everyone enjoyed the pool! Cleanliness could be better, floors needed a thorough mopping. There was some mold in the bathroom of the house by the pool.

Nice Getaway

Property is clean. Large master bathroom is fantastic. Large pool with bathroom and refrigerator close by is a plus! No shade by the pool, Bring canopy and umbrella. Watch your step on the two level deck. One deckboard needs maintenance. Note: Two blocks to PRIVATE beach; we had to move 500 ft to public beach (too far to walk with little ones). You will be asked to leave private beach during prime time. We enjoyed the Private beach at sunset. Kitchen is too small for large family, Overall, we enjoyed our week stay here.

Nice house, but Disappointed in Management of House

Our stay at this house overall was a good experience. Though it was marred by several events. It started with our check in process. We were told our check in was at 4pm. We arrived at the house after a 14 hour drive from Ohio. When we arrived at the house at 4pm, the cleaning crew was still in the drive way, and appeared to have just arrived. We waited in our vehicles with melting ice, cold food, and other items which required refrigeration or freezing. We waited a short time in our vehicles before calling the office. Though the employee we spoke with was extremely apologetic, we were on hold for approximately 10-15 minutes. We were eventually allowed to enter the home and put our items in the fridge, and/or freezer to keep items from spoiling or melting. Meanwhile, the housekeeper was cleaning around us. By approximately 4:30pm, we had our items in the house, but the cleaning crew was still working around the house. Over the phone, the management company stated they wished to "make it right", by providing a gift card, and/or gift basket to apologize for the inconvenience. We finished our stay, and never received any sort of gift card/gift basket, or any other compensation. Which I would not usually bring up. However, clearly posted on the homes refrigerator was a document stating we must check out of the home "Promptly" at 10am on the day of check out, or we would be charged an additional $200. There is more i will send in an email to the management company.

Almost excellent

We enjoyed our stay, but there were a couple things that could have made it a little better. No Wi-Fi was a problem for the kids, a working pool light would have been nice and maybe upgrade of the sofas in the living area. A little more work on the front landscape would make the property look more inviting also and in the future new flooring but the stay was nice, location was great.

Enjoyed our Stay

We really enjoyed our stay. We were 10 (2 family of 5) and everyone was well accommodated. The pool was the best of course for 3 kiddos and 2 teens it was perfect. And close walking distance to the beach. Of course it was a Hugh problem at the begging there was no network and we didn’t had wifi at the begging but someone came by and fixed it. The only problem we encountered and that is not really property related is the access to the beach we went thru the closest one and they didn’t let us stay there “private property” and had to walk further. We have stayed in this area before and had never had any problem to access the beach. But anyways would just be nice to note the correct Beach access now, at Hutchinson St and Pompano St.

Nice home, location, and pool with a few quirks

Overall a nice stay. A few quirks like not enough towels or no trash bags are oversights. Biggest issue was the grill was filthy so it dangerously flamed up from all the old food and grease at the bottom. For the price we paid, I expected a little better attention to details.

Ad misleading

The ad was misleading. All the beaches close by were private and you had to pay. The public beaches were a much longer walk. The pull out sofa had no blanket we had to ask for one. The grill only had one pilot barely working. We asked for someone to come out to fix it. We were not there and I received a condescending email explaining how a grill works and it works just fine. So I thought to give them the benefit of the doubt and when we checked it, it was still not working. So we had to make another call and finally got it fixed. But we had missed days we could have used the grill. There was a house alarm that kept beeping every five minutes saying battery is low and kept waking everyone up. We asked if they can fix that when they were coming for the grill but they never fixed it and it was going off the whole week- rather annoying. Also we had roaches in the house.
