Perfect Family Oasis

We booked this trip last minute, and we were so pleased with this house. Not far from the beach, but plenty to do at the house if you are wanting to stay in for a day with the family. The backyard pool setting is just what it looks like in the pictures. Plenty of room in the house, with a very comfortable feel all around. We still talk about this trip many months later

Wonderful experience

From booking to check out it was very smooth. They really do have everything from wagons, chairs, umbrellas for the beach to pool toys and towels. Walking distance to the beach and an ice cream shop it was really great. We used door dash too for a great home cooked meal. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Best Beach House Yet

My wife and I have stayed at several beach rentals across the southeast over the last 5 years. Everyone knows that photos can be deceiving and some times descriptions are embellished. That was NOT the case at this property. The home is well designed, nicely decorated and setup well for families. You can tell a lot of thought was put into the rental and making things most convenient for your beach trip. There were plenty of table settings, seating, towels, kitchen utensils and plenty of beach wagons, chairs, coolers and umbrellas. The pool and hot tub were also plenty large for me, my wife and our 3 kids. The beach was a short easy walk. If we go back to Destin we won't bother looking at other places, we will stay here.

Pool and Hot Tub Oasis

The home was wonderful. The weather was not very cooperative for hanging at the beach, but that didn’t effect our stay at all. The kids played in the pool/hot tub the entire time. The home was well stocked with the things that matter (cookware, seasonings, pool/beach towels, coffee, etc..). It is set up great for children. The host communicates clearly, and was prompt to respond to questions. We had no issues with this property. The location is excellent! We will be back.

Perfect Beach Getaway!

Our family of 5 enjoyed a spring break at this beautiful property located in the heart of Destin. The home is well appointed, with the all of the comforts of home and more. Our kids enjoyed the pool and sandbox, while the adults relaxed in the hot tub. We all loved making s'mores nightly around the fire pit. The short walk to the beach was great, and it was nice to have chairs, toys, and towels provided. The property hosts were no less than amazing- they went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy and comfortable. The home was spacious yet cozy, beautifully decorated, and well-maintained. I hope no one else stays here so that we can have it all to ourselves :)

Beautiful Family-Friendly Beach Spot!

We selected this property as it had all the amenities we wanted, and the reviews were awesome. We were thrilled to find that our experience met and exceeded our expectation. We stayed for 5 nights with two separate families - total of 8 people. The heated pool and hot tub were wonderful! The house was clean and stocked with everything we could need from towels, beach towels, beach "gear" and more. Also, we had just a few small tweaks on night one and found the hosts to be extremely responsive. They immediately sent the property manager over who corrected all tweaks. She was so kind and gave us some great insights to the area. Overall, this was our best VRBO experience, and we highly recommend to any other travelers - especially families.

Spring Break

We stayed here as a family of five over spring break, and it was absolutely perfect for us. The home was clean, comfortable, and offered plenty of space for everyone. The backyard was a great bonus—ideal for relaxing after the beach or enjoying quiet evenings together. The location was excellent, close to all the amenities we needed. The host was responsive and communicated with us throughout our stay as needed. We would definitely stay here again!

Family Vacation

The owners were incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. The house was exactly what we were looking for—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained—which really made our trip special. After a day at the beach, the pool was a perfect place to unwind and relax. The location was ideal, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend staying here! We had such a great stay, we are also considering checking out another of their locations!

We rented a golf cart for our stay which I would recommend for coming and going to beach especially with a large party. The host were very responsive to all inquiries and checked in on us daily.

Close to the beach and private

I was really happy with the house, pool, hot tub and fire pit. I wanted to have a private place close to the beach and this was perfect. We didn’t want to have to deal with the crowd at the pool and hot tub at a condo so we booked this awesome house. Nothing like having a quiet pool and hot tub to come back to after leaving the beach. We even did s’mores one night. The home owners supplied everything so why not. Will be coming back in the future

We spent a week at the Backyard Oasis. It was the best trip ever! The house is amazing! The hosts provide everything you need to feel at home for your vacation. The beds were super comfy! Everything was top of the line. The pool, hot tub and fire pit were top notch. We really enjoyed the corn hole and huge connect 4 board. The neighborhood was safe and friendly. Short walk to the beach. If you are looking for a place to stay, look no further! Hosts Dave and Shannon were responsive and great to work with. Thanks so much for allowing us to have a wonderful time.

Dave and Shannon were responsive and made the check in/out process quick and easy, and were even generous enough to send the family Crumble cookies! The pool and hot tub were a huge hit, as were all the included pool toys/inflatables & the house was a quick 5 minute walk to the crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches!

Beyond Expectations!!!

This property was all it advertised to be and then some. This home was extremely clean and well kept. Check-in was easy. The manager stayed in contact to make sure everything was good. If we had any questions, they were answered within five minutes. They were very responsive to any questions we had. We had nine people in our party and we all slept very comfortably with room to spare. The only thing I had to contact them about, where are the beanbags for the corn hole game and they had some delivered within one hour. They also had a little goodie box delivered our first night, which was extremely nice and unexpected. Overall, our stay was wonderful. We were close to the beach. We had everything we needed at the house. To be honest we could have left half of what we brought at home, because everything we needed was there and if it wasn’t, they would have it delivered quickly. We will DEFINITELY stay at this home anytime we visit Destin. Thanks for ALL YOUR GREAT HOSPITALITY….. GREAT VACATION SPOT FOR FAMILY! 10/10
