The perfect family beach house

We loved every minute of our stay at family matters beach house. The house was very well kept, up to date and very spacious. We had 2 small children with us during our stay and there was plenty of room for them to play and have fun. We were all very impressed with this house, the kitchen, master bath and pool were all show stoppers. Mary was a great host always willing to help and great at ensuring we had a great vacation. We will definitely be staying here again!!

Amazing home

This home was perfect for our family vacation! We had three families and each had their own bedroom and bathroom along with bunk bed and crib which came in handy for the kids. The kitchen was beautiful and had everything we needed. Even though the community pool was wonderful, it was so nice to have a pool at our home. It was enjoyed by the kids and adults alike and it was very clean! We also used the outdoor grill which was nice for quick lunches. The golf cart was a must for a small rental fee and was used on a regular basis to enjoy trips to the beach, nearby restaurants , shops and of course trips to get ice cream! Mary from Destin Beach VIP was outstanding to work with and was just a text message away if we needed anything or had any questions! We would highly recommend this safe and gated community home for a Destin Beach vacation!!

Absolute PERFECTION!

Cannot say enough positive things! The communication alone is worth EVERYTHING! We have stayed in multiple rental properties, and have never had a personal touch like this, ever. From welcoming us to the property to show us the ropes. A simple 15 minute personal touch, to put a face with the name. To forgetting something at home, ordered it from Amazon, forgot about the owner mailboxes, was able to texr, met us at the property, and got our package, it couldn't have been more than 20 minutes.The house is as advertised in the pictures! BUT they also don't do it justice either. Very clean and fresh. Very well maintained. Modern beach house vibes, upscale appliances, the master suite, the private pool, the outdoor patio space, the outdoor kitchen, sun all day long. Maybe 3 minutes to the Gulf. Beach is gorgeous. Harbor area is really fun. Saw a lot of dolphins in and around the harbor. Crab island. Tons of restaurants. Shopping. So many things to do, we didn't even scratch the surface. We fell in love with Destin!

Excellent Vacation

We had a family of 5 and two grandparents on our vacation to Destin! We loved the home. It was spacious and fully stocked with everything we needed. It was very clean upon arrival! Mary and Greg greeted us and were very quick to respond to anything we needed! The neighborhood was perfect with close access to the Clubhouse Pool and Beach! We are already talking about our trip back!

We had an amazing family vacation filled with memories staying at the family matters home. The home was beautiful, spacious and accommodating to all our needs. My family loved the community access to the gym. The bikes included were great. The pool and outdoor space at the house is a great space to dine, play games and relax with family after a day at the beach. The beach was within walking distance. Every where we needed to go was a simple ride in the golf cart. Even our dogs enjoyed their stay, walking in the gated community and down scenic highway. The hosts were excellent!
