We loved our stay at Top Shelf

Great location and great hosts! Patrick was very personable and prompt in his responses to us during our stay. The house had ample space for all 12 of us and the pool was a major hit! We rented the golf cart for quicker transportation to the beach for the kids, but the walk is easy to the beach. Nice, quiet community and amenities at Destiny East. Would definitely recommend this house and would rent again if given the chance.

Outstanding house!

Sometimes spring break in early April is a little cooler than you’d like. Thank God for the huge heated pool - my kids didn’t care that only half our days were spent at the beach. Well appointed, and room for 3 families, this house was just perfect. Owner is quick to respond to any needs of our group. We will be back again next year!

This. Place. Is. Amazing!! Just arriving home from a wonderful vacation! This house is everything and more. Lots of room to spread out and relax! Beautiful decor, very comfortable beds & great amenities! Only thing we didn't have but thought we would was dish cloths. Otherwise plenty of towels for showering- very plush and big. Close to the beach, local stores and restaurants. Pool and hot tub were great, perfect temp for the time of year. Did not utilize the club house other than 2 of the kids playing basketball but appeared to be great. Golf cart was helpful for my father who has a hard time walking a distance. Mitch was wonderful and communication was prompt and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

Good location, nice pool and hot tub. When we arrived, there was hair in the drawers in the MBR and hair and dirt in the bathtub. There was also months of dust accumulated on the fan in the living room and on the lamps. They had to send the cleaning crew back out to clean up. The drinking glasses in the cabinets were dirty and had to be cleaned.

Top Shelf was Top of the Line

Wow!! What an amazing vacation thanks in large part to this beautiful house in Destin. Everything was exactly as described -- customer service was quick and efficient, the pictures portrayed the house exactly as we assumed it would be, the amenities were great, check in and check out was incredibly easy! The walk to the beach took maybe 10 minutes and was a safe walk for the whole family -- never even had to cross traffic since there is an underground tunnel to go through. There was plenty of parking too if you got there before 10:30 AM. It was great having the grill for dinner and assorted beach toys and pool floats were really convenient. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking items and utensils. The community area was close, just a 10 minute walk and had tennis/pickleball courts which we used often. We will definitely recommend Warren Beach Rentals!

Beautiful beach house with all the amenities you could ever need and wonderful management as well.

Top Shelf is an amazing beach house in the perfect location. We had a wonderful time! The pool was absolutely beautiful! It was very private and peaceful. We sat out by the pool for hours. We also loved the balcony that wrapped around part of the house. We enjoyed sitting out there as a family for dinner. Christy and Patrick with Warren beach rentals were amazing. They did whatever they could to make our vacation great! We cannot wait to come back next year!!

Our family of 12 fit very comfortably in the house plenty of space, such a beautiful place inside and out. The pool and hot tube area was very large for sitting outside. They had many pool toys for the 6 kids we had staying there. Large kitchen and dining room. They very quick to answer any questions and concerns we had. The beach was in walking distance and many restaurants near by. We would definitely stay again!!! Loved it.

A nice stay with an awesome pool area.

This house was perfect for an extended family gathering. Plenty of space inside and out. The pool area was awesome - plan on spending lots of time there during your stay. Management/owner were very responsive to questions and a few minor issues that cropped up, which were very quickly resolved. Nice quiet neighborhood that seems to work hard to keep things that way.

Nice house and great location! Needs cleaned better!

This house was a great property and great location to the beach. The backyard setup is really nice! However, house majorly needs cleaned DEEPLY. This would prevent us from renting again in the future. You literally could not walk in the house without your shoes. We all started wearing shoes in the house after we noticed the bottoms of our feet were turning black. There was hair in the shower and hair/dust in most of the corners. It was obviously only superficially cleaned. It needs a deep clean more often. The responsiveness from management team is second to none but I would recommend a new cleaning service pronto!
