Absolutely Perfect!!

Location location location, we loved the location of this property!! Close and convenient to the beach, walking/running path, stores and restaurants. Home was absolutely beautiful and so spacious, we had three families with 6 teens between us and a five year old and we all had plenty of space to hang out together but also to enjoy some alone time. Loved all of the gorgeous outdoor spaces and hope to get to stay in the property again in the future. Definitely recommend this home!

Destin Vacation Home

The property itself is stunning, and not a long walk from the beach. The cleanliness of the home was excellent and there are no complaints regarding that. Unfortunately, there were several issues reported during our stay that were not addressed timely or at all. The stove/oven did not work during our 4 night stay, and our group had purchased groceries for cooking. The hot tub also was not heating up, and the ice maker on the third floor was frozen and not operational. Although the hot tub issue was remedies timely, there was poor communication and no correction made to the other issues (stove/oven, ice maker, broken toilet seats). The rental company was notified about these problems via text and phone call, however when asked, they would not provide me with a timeline for correcting the issue, and the issues were never remedied. Addditionally, the rental company was not accommodating regarding an early check in request due to flight changes.

The house was beautiful. Bathrooms for each bedroom were great. Had an issue with 1 of the refrigerators in the kitchen going out, but that happens. There were mini fridges downstairs and on the 2nd and 3rd floors. We made it work just fine. Pool was perfect. Property management was very easy to communicate with and manage the issues we had. Overall, we would visit this property again. Great location. Pretty central to everything.

The house would have been absolutely perfect if it weren’t for the filthiness of it. It is important to make sure your house is cleaned well in between guests, especially when you are charging cleaning fee. Make sure your amenities are all functioning and ready to be used. We did not have access to a functioning dishwasher, oven, or coffee pot. And we found anti anxiety medication in one of bedrooms on the floor. This could have ended horribly if my 18 month old had found it before I did. I would love to recommend or use this place again but simply will not due to the lack of attention to cleanliness.
We could not use the coffee machine due to it not being cleaned and mold growing.
When we turned on the oven to preheat it, the entire house filled with smoke. When we opened the oven, we found what looked like canceled that was never wiped out.
We found mold growing behind the toilet. Mold was also visible on the air vent.
