Family Vacation and Celebration

We just wrapped up a weeklong stay at this property and the whole experience was amazing. The property is huge and had plenty of room for our large family. The bunk room was great for kids and the location on the beach can’t be beat.

Perfect for a large group

Star of the Sea was the perfect setting for our group’s beach trip. The kids loved having a sleepover in the bunk room, and each couple was appreciative of having their own king sized bed. Being able to see the beach from the pool was a big plus, as was being able to see the pool from the living area. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect beach home with private pool

Property manger was very easy to work with. Great communication. Process was very easy getting in and out. Enjoyed this beautiful beach house with a private pool! Very easy access to the beach with beach chairs that were set-up for us. We had 3 couples with plenty of room. Very clean and comfortable. Beds were comfortable. Downside, not enough kitchen supplies and need better toilet paper! Would recommend this vacation beach home!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Annual "girlfriend beach therapy" for a group of high school friends from Indiana now living all over the US. We have rented many houses on the beach in Destin (over 25 years), but this is the best. Next year we will all be 80 and we will be back!!! God willing!!!

Family

The house is nice with a decent location a few houses away from the crowds. However it is not the best house for people on different schedules as it’s very open and small sounds travel and echo. There were several broken items when we arrived and the property manager was very responsive in taking care of what he could in a timely manner.

Great location for all the necessities. All our favorite restaurants were minutes away and anything else we needed to stock up on was just a short drive away. House was awesome and the beach was just steps away. Definitely doing a return trip in the near future.

Great house on a great beach

Beautiful house and beachfront. Very nice back porch and covered pool; very nice for little ones. Also had a good stock of beach toys. We really enjoyed it. Just one small suggestion - it would have been nice to have a larger pot for boiling water and such.

Overall a good place. Property needs some updating and repairs; Refrigerator needs repair as it was not cool upon arrival. Some toilet seats and faucet handles were loose, not nearly enough cookware for large families.

Great location, floorplan and beach access!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was perfect for our family trip. They each had their own ensuite bedroom and my only grandson and his mom and dad were able to stay in the apartment over the garage to avoid the family noise during nap time. The inside of house was renovated very nicely. The outside needed a little tlc especially on the upper and lower deck. Some of the appliances were not working and we did find a couple of friendly cockroaches ... but overall we all agreed it was a nice place to stay. Thank you!

Just what we needed!

We were very pleased with our stay. Some of the handles on doors, windows and faucets need to be tightened- especially the back door as it kept coming off. But that is the only issue we had. The house was beautiful and in a great location. It was well stocked and you can’t beat the sunsets. Latoya was always available and helpful!

This property was just perfect! It is close to everything and the beach is beautiful. I would definitely book this property again! The only con I have is that they need better toilet paper😂😬! The kitchen had everything we needed. The guest house is a nice addition and the pool is very clean. We also had Chef Jekyll come in and cook my husband’s birthday dinner. It was a great week!!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Outside needs overhaul. Candle light fixtures broken. Major rusty spots. Urgent paint job required. Insight great but kicker table broken and xfinity modem needs to be upgraded. Not enough mesh. Add also the new x pods. Great furniture selection and superb kitchen. Location and view very good. With some small work this property would be flawless also for guest house

Beautiful home w/great views and location!

The home was beautiful w/amazing views and the location is perfect! My grandchildren (ages 3-10) loved the bunk room! We’re actually going to copy the design in our new home! In fact, I’m planning on incorporating a lot of the same elements in our new home! While we had a few issues (pool heater did not work, grill burners were rusted out (unable to use) and the pots and pans are in need of replacement, upstairs AC unit didn’t work one evening) during our stay, the management team at Beyond Blue Vacations were quick to respond. I will most definitely miss the view from the master bedroom!

Perfect location , plenty of room

The place was completely updated and very comfortable. There were six adults and three kids under the age of seven. It was completely updated and very nice. The only thing I would mention is they could have had a few more blankets around some of the nights we were there got kind of chilly, and there were not extra blankets for the beds. Also, they could probably update their pans and pots as they were some with Teflon coating that had been scraped off. Other than that everything was wonderful. I’m not.

Terrible Check In

4pm check in time finally in by 5pm. Construction still going on. They were hurrying to get out - not their fault. Poor planning by the rest all group. Some work not complete - hand rails they told us about but no toilet paper holders and minor things like that. Terrible bug prion the kitchen. Everything was clean but hadn’t been sprayed in a while. I understand bugs on the coast but this was ridiculous. This Beyond Blue group is not someone we will ever use again…
