Hosts were on the ball with this place and the communication. We absolutely loved the house, pool, location, and neighborhood. The pool was a must when double red flag or seaweed take over days. This will be one of the first VRBOs we will want to go back to.

AWESOME place

My group and I really enjoyed our visit. Great proximity to the beach with private access. It housed plenty of people with 5 rooms (4 with a king bed, 2 bunks). Everything with the check-in process was incredibly smooth. Couldn’t have picked out a better place! Perfect for a spot with friends or family!

College spring break

3 families with college students stayed at the home. It had everything we needed- coffee, spices, paper products, beach towels, beach chairs and more. The pool area was perfect for the 2 windy days we had- sheltered from the wind but completely sunny! Easy walk to beach. Beautiful home!

Best Vacation Ever

Our family vacation was our 2024 Christmas present to our family and it turned out to be the Best present ever. The house is in a wonderful location in a culdesac with little traffic, the house itself is perfect with 5 gorgeous bedrooms and 4 full baths. We spent many hours in the pool and the hot tub in the evenings. Also, the private beach was amazing and really appreciated the chairs to take to the beach

Perfect house for a family

There were 8 adults in our group and this house was perfect! There were 3 couples so the en suite bathrooms were perfect. The pool was a great size that we all enjoyed after spending a few hours at the beach. The house was fully stocked with toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher pods and laundry pods. This was for sure one of our favorite vacation houses!

Our family of ten stay at Destin Haven was great! All ages enjoyed the pool as well as the short walk to the private beach. The property is terrific and well kept. Excellent air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout the house kept us comfortable after being out in the heat and humidity. Reasonable access to all Destin has to offer.

Best beach house rental!

This property is perfectly situated with a 3 minute walk to the beach, but on a quiet street with no traffic. House was fully stocked with every amenity. Host was phenomenal for proactive communication, this house specifically was the best in the neighborhood for its’ pool placement, depth and style. Hot tub was key and the beach supplies were plentiful.

Susan & Mitch’s home is simply incredible. Beautiful, spacious, and an excellent location. About a 2 minute walk from the beach and about 6 minutes from my the grocery store, lovely surrounding restaurants as well. I booked a trip for my mom and dad to celebrate their 40th anniversary and they loved every moment of it. Communication between hosts was nothing short of amazing. I definitely recommend their home and would book again in the future.

Wonderful place to be

The property was located in true walking distance to the beach! The house was stocked with essentials bath soap, shampoo, paper towels, dish tablets where we didn’t have to purchase. Also outdoor essentials were a big hit! The pool was great for kids! The only thing was the air didn’t cool off in certain rooms so it was a little warm. This house has plenty of room for large groups! We enjoyed it so much and definitely would rent again!

Great Stay!

We were so impressed with this place from the moment we walked up. The pool and hot tub were so nice to have and provided hours of entertainment. Inside the house is tastefully decorated and so spacious. Everyone had space to hang out and we loved the bedrooms with their own bathrooms. The host was great and was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. The first morning we noticed the coffee pot was not working properly, but since there was a Keurig as well we informed them, but told them it was not necessary to replace as we could use the Keurig instead. They went above and beyond, not only bringing over a brand new coffee pot, but a bag full of goodies for the inconvenience. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and hope to stay here again. Thank you so much for the wonder stay!
