The best part of the house was the location. Loved the beachfront access. However, I think that management need to provide more starter kits to make it more convenient for the guests i.e., kitchen did not have handwashing liquid. Only provided a 2 oz dish liquid for a 9 bedroom house! They also charged us for a damage we did not do. The basement (kids room) was really hot the first day. The management was not prompt in replying to our concerns.

Excellent location, beautiful house, lovely trip

The pictures are perfect and very representative of the stay. The deck and house are beautiful. On the beach and amazing walk out. Truly a magnificent location near everything. Unfortunately, they can't control the weather which was drizzly but having such an amazing house made inside time easy. I would definitely recommend this house and plan to stay here again.

Beautiful Home on the beach

The house looked just like the pictures. There were plenty of bedrooms and the layout was perfect to allow for the adults to have privacy. I loved that several of the bedrooms had private bathrooms. The basement kids room was a huge hit for our 5 and 7 year old. They loved the slide! Management was very responsive as we had to message them a few times due to the freezing temps causing us to briefly lose hot water. They were right on it! We would highly recommend this property. The pool, the walkout to the beach, the views, all excellent!

disappointing stay

Heated pool not working. The reason for booking this property was for the heated pool for the babies. Also be aware at the very bottom of the listing is says 100 a day for heating. After several attempts of many phone calls and finally getting a few different people out they agreed it wasn't working. So we were unable to use the pool. It happen to pretty cold the week we were there. A house should be inspected prior to arrival to make sure there are no issues. This was very disappointing.

Great Location

Our stay was mostly great. We did have a few issues:-communication on the using the beach chairs and umbrellas was poor. There were no instructions informing us we needed to rent extra chairs. -no beach towels were provided so we had to go out and buy many for the week.-The grill had a broken starter, when we lit the gas with a torch the weak flame kept blowing out; this made the grill unusable.-the early check-in process left much to be desired. the house went unrented the two days preceding our stay, and even with a week and 24hr reminder the management was unable to secure any more than a 2hr early check in. - the pool had broken tiles with sharp edges that ended up cutting feet.-the electrical outlets didn't work in a first-floor bedroom and bathroom.Only small irritations to deal with during our stay. It was the first time renting in this area and we expected more for the price we paid. It was a great house for a five-family weeklong vacation. The air conditioning worked well, and the parking was easy. the kids loved the basement. The location to the beach and shopping was awesome.

A contractor has access to the door locks and came into the property when we were staying there.

The road was flooded when we arrived, once we got through the flooded road there was 3 construction workers with a truck and u-haul trailer in the driveway. There were working on property. I asked them to leave they did. Then he comes back the next morning at 6:00am banging out tile right next to the main bedrooms. I asked for him to leave he did not. Plus he had access to the house code and invited himself into the property without consent and walked into the basement to get material from a locked door in the bathroom. Where all the kids were staying. I the submarine room My daughter was in the shower and came out and a man/contractor was in the basement. My child was so upset. The management company day 1 and day 2 of our stay to let them know what has been going on. They took my information and said someone would call me. No one reached out to us at all during our stay. This was booked 8 months ago and we were using this property for a small wedding. It was so stressful. The contractors blocked off the front entrance and said we couldn’t use it for 4 hours because of new tile that was just put down. The tile was fine it was just cosmetic. I have been trying 2 weeks after our stay to get in contact and to get this issue resolved or inform the owner regarding their investment property about our stay.

Well-Appointed and Comfortable Beach House

This house very comfortably accommodated our family of 13, which included 8 adults, 2 teens and 3 children. The pictures of the house on VRBO are accurate. The house is right on the beach, with reasonably easy access as far as getting you and your gear down close to the surf. It is well-appointed - the kitchen has a Viking range, oven and microwave (although the range was a little wonky as far as getting the burners lit). The kitchen is stocked with just about everything you need to cook most any meal (except for the notable absence of measuring cups). The furnishings are fairly upscale for a beach house and in great condition. AC worked like a charm. The house has really nice decks off the two upper levels. The second level deck includes the splash pool. There is an additional large deck on the way down to the beach which is particularly awesome in the evening and at night. I would recommend this house, with the following caveats: 1. Check the grease trap and cabinet under the outdoor gas grill. When we arrived, we only opened the top cover and were pleased with how clean the grates were. However, when we tried to grill some hamburgers, the grease trap and bottom cabinet caught fire because they had not been cleaned out (perhaps ever?). Had to use a fire extinguisher to put it out - burgers ruined. We took one star off the "Cleanliness" rating for this. 2. Be careful walking near and around the columns in the main living area as you turn into the kitchen island area. The base of the columns is hard to see as they blend into the floor tiles. Several bruised toes resulted. 3. In high season, Destin is crowded. The population pressure on this section of the beach is inordinate. Be prepared to secure a patch of the beach early in the morning.. We took 2 stars off the "Location" category for this. 4. The front entrance to the house (the only way to get your gear into the property) requires navigating a set of stairs equivalent to climbing one-story. 5. The WiFi was abysmal, and depending on your carrier, cell service is just about non-existent. The maintenance person who came out to check/fix/clean the grill after our fire, told us they had done everything to try to make it better, but this was what you get. This impacted TV viewing depending on which TV you were using if you want to stream. If you like to stream music, make another wish. Best place to connect was on a bench seat near the laundry on the third level.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is amazing and the view is gorgeous. However there is one thing about this house that some people need to know before renting. The internet/Wi-Fi is horrible. My family recently stayed a week here and some of us needed to get few things finished for work during our stay. The top floor is the only floor you can connect and stay connected to Wi-Fi. The rest of the house is an abyss for internet.

Great time

We enjoyed our stay - Four adults, one teenager, four boys ages 3 to 6. The house was beautiful and nicely furnished. The bedroom on the lower floor was incredible. The boys loved it and it’s even better than the pictures. Maintenance was quick to respond to our issues. I was disappointed with the window treatments in the bedrooms. They don’t block out sunlight and with the sun rising between 5:3:0 and 6:00 it was very difficult to sleep much later. The amenities included a small bar of soap for each sink and shower. We were furnished one roll of paper towels and 3 pods of dishwasher soap. I expected a little more for a property as nice as this one.
