WHAT OUR GUESTS HAVE TO SAY:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Grey Whale is a perfect house for a multi-family stay. We had 7 families together in one house for a week and had plenty of room to be together yet have the personal space needed at times. The property management team was highly responsive and the cleaning staff did an exceptional job. We plan to rent this home again for future spring breaks. -Becky
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our stay at the Gray Whale was perfect! We had a large group of family from grandparents all the way down to a baby, and it worked for everyone! The location was perfectly situated right across from a beach access, and the large amount of rooms and bathrooms made it feel like we all had room to spread out. But the highlight of this house is for sure the backyard! We spent hours in the pool, playing cornhole, using the putting green and watching the NBA finals on the backyard TV. The property management company was so responsive and helpful and even stopped by to make sure we were enjoying our stay. Very friendly and easy to work with! We also loved the 1:30 check in time. We will definitely be booking this house again when we come back to Destin next summer. -Andrea
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an incredible stay at The Gray Whale with our family, and it was the perfect setting for our daughter’s wedding reception in the backyard! Everything was absolutely beautiful. The backyard is stunning, with a huge pool, fire pit, and even a putting green—it created such a fun and memorable atmosphere for our celebration. The house itself is impressive, spacious, and offers gorgeous views of the ocean right across the road. -Michelle
