Family fun in Destin

Great location and amenities. Very comfortable accommodations and would highly recommend for families. Plenty of room to hang out together or find a quiet place to work or have down time. Loved it! Only wish they provided more than 2 kitchen trashbags for our 5 day stay and a few more basic supplies like coffee.

Exceptional home & location

Beyond exceptional home for a small or large group. The layout provides multiple gather points while providing privacy when you want to just be alone! The backyard not only provides a beautiful pool & yard but also has a hidden cover sand lot for raining Florida days! The location is absolutely perfect, you can easily reach any beach, restaurant, or activity anywhere in Destin. We will definitely be renting again! Truly a gem!

Great Getaway!

We booked this castle before confirming all our friends were going to celebrate with us, so our group ended up being 6 instead of 8-10. Perfect location to beach & harbor-easily navigated with our rental car & walking. Clean house, very spacious, fun decor, heared pool. Was a perfect relaxing homey atmosphere! When we needed help/suggestions our maintenance guy was very helpful & accommodating-quick response time to our questions as well. Only issue was trying to stream phones to tv to watch Thursday night football.

My family enjoyed our vacation and our stay at this beautiful beach home. Our property manager was amazing, from day 1 to end of our stay, even allowing a later check out time due to travel plans. The house was warm and welcoming and beautifully decorated. We had plenty of family dinners and appreciated more than enough kitchen wares to make that happen for our group of 13. The pool was great especially for our younger guests. We appreciated having beach chairs and plenty of sand toys for our kids, that came with staying at the home. We left behind some pool toys too for others to enjoy. Access to the water taxi was an awesome experience! My family truly had an amazing time, highly recommend this home for rental! We had the most amazing stay!

Wonderful glorious week. Christina was amazing. Some nice to haves would be an outdoor shower (or maybe we didn’t see it) and an out door hose to set up my sprinkler for the kids. Not a big deal. Wonderful property!

Big House and Responsive Team

First off, our reservation specialist Ellen was so friendly, SO easy to work with and responsive in minutes! This house is absolutely perfect for a trip with friends. Between the multiple floors, it’s perfect for multi-family as well. The house is about a .2 walk to the beach entrance but includes 1 cart and a few beach chairs - no tent which is understandable. Overall, we loved our stay and will be back.

Perfect spot

This home was very spacious and inviting. It was clean. It is in a convenient, but more private location. It is not directly on a busy street, yet it is close to everything. The beach is a short walk away. The downstairs area was great for the children. It was like their own little retreat. We did not really utilize the area under the deck but I should note that when we stayed, there were beach chairs, pool toys and a wagon. Overall, the place was perfect for us. The driveway was really nice but the photos make it look wider and longer. It was fine for our group.
