Great location/Pool/Golf Cart

Perfect location, golf cart, pool, and beautiful views! House had several issues. Host did their best to address most urgent bathroom issues and response was quick-but we mostly dealt with the rest rather than complaining/taking valuable beach time. The two steps down to living room, curved staircase (varying width of steps), and decor (small rocks on the floor) are not kid friendly.

Casa Esmerelda

Overall nice place! Few things were not completed before we arrived, which was a little frustrating, but the management company was very timely to get them fixed. Young man apologized that they were not taken care of before we arrived. A few more amenities could be provided for two weeks stay. Some construction going on next door and across the pond, but no fault of rental.Neighborhood is great, very close to the beach, few close by restaurants you can walk too. I would recommend.

Family Trip 2023

This was our first time to Destin, 1st VRBO and 1st family vacation with our grandsons. The home and location was perfect for 7 adults and 2 little boys. Sara and Carlos were very accommodating and always responded to us immediately. We loved the lake view, quiet area and short walk to the beach. We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful home and great location. We enjoyed having the pool right there and being close to the beach as well. We were happy with all the amenities provided. Kitchen was stocked well for making meals and beds were quite comfortable. Host communicated well and was very responsive. I would highly recommend. This was our first visit to Destin and we hope to return and stay here again!

Perfect Location

If you’re looking to rest and relax, this is the perfect spot. Whether it’s by the pool, relaxing at the dock staring at the lake, or a 5 minute walk to the beach - this location has it all. Sara was so friendly and welcoming & always quick to respond to questions. We rented a golf cart, but it definitely wasn’t necessary as the Crab Trap is right across from the neighborhood entrance. Definitely want to return back to Destin and can’t think of a better place to stay!

Perfect location!

First time to Destin and we will be back! The house was wonderful but even better was Sara! So responsive to everything we needed. The house is more spacious than si anticipated. We had 9 people and had plenty of room. Beach is right outside the neighborhood so not much to walk however you may want to drive if your taking a lot of kids suff. Overall we will be back! Perfect house for what we like to do!

The property was beautiful and very spacious. The company was quick to respond. We had issues with the golf cart. Tires were bald and we blew a tire while driving it. It was fixed quickly but ahould not have waited that long to get fixed.

Great house. great location. Great time!

This vacation was so nice. The latest reviews had us worried about coming but we had a magnificent time. Yes there is construction next door but you’re at the beach. The view was awesome. House was great. Come with a golf cart. The management company has changed so look for correspondence from Travel Life Vacations. That isn’t stated well in the current listing and cause some concern when I wasn’t hearing from the booking prior to arriving. But they are wonderful and very responsive. We will be back to this house and Destin. There was something for everyone.

Beautiful house and location!

The communication with host was probably the best I’ve ever experienced! The house was clean and beautiful! The beach is close enough to walk to it. Couple things to know before you go. Hot tub doesn’t get super hot. Only goes to 90 so on a cold day it’s chilly! Also plan to buy toilet paper and possibly dish soap and laundry detergent. There wasn’t much when we arrived so before trip was over we had to get all those items for our use. Overall I would stay here again!! The beds were so so comfortable and I miss them!!
