Great Family Spot with Gorgeous Pool & Easy 5 Minute Walk to the Beach
We had a nice stay at this beautiful home in Destin! The house was beautifully decorated, well-stocked, and great for our group of 10. Check-in was easy and everything was ready promptly at 4pm.The kitchen was well-equipped with cooking basics, coffee makers, a pantry, bar area, and space for group meals.The layout worked for our family but was a bit different than expected. On the 2nd floor, there was a large master with an ensuite. The bunk room was next to it with no designated bathroom. There were also two king rooms that shared a small Jack-and-Jill bath and had doors to a shared balcony. The 3rd floor had another king room with an ensuite. There was a powder room on the 1st floor. Everyone had plenty of space, but the bathroom layout felt a bit tight for our group.The pool & back patio were absolutely stunning. We didn’t use the neighborhood pool since we had our own, but it looked nice. The house included four bikes, which were a great bonus.The walk to the beach was easy, usually about 5–7 minutes. You do cross a main road, but there is a crosswalk. You could park at the lot by The Crab Trap if you went early enough. We brought our own beach supplies, but next time we would rent chairs/umbrellas.There was a little noise from nearby homes, but it wasn’t disruptive. We did have to report a few housekeeping and maintenance issues when we arrived, but Five Star Properties was responsive and accommodating.Overall, this was a fantastic home for our family vacay!
