"This house was amazing!!! I really can't say enough about the house. Destin Dreamers did almost everything perfectly! The check-in was a bit confusing as I was getting information from various people that didn't agree. They made it right though. In addition, when I had any questions during our stay they were prompt with a response!House was extremely well stocked. The added bonus of dishwasher pods, laundry pods, dish liquid was such a nice surprise! We had more than enough to get us through the week even when we washed the supplied beach towels daily!! The abundance of beach towels was very much appreciated. All the appliances were top notch! Wow... to have a full dedicated freezer!! Everything really was perfect once we got in the door! Thanks Destin Dreamers, I will always look to rent with you! Thanks for the fabulous house for our family vacation where we made some great memories!!"
