My family stayed here for 3 nights and 4 days! We had an awesome time! Location was right in the middle of everything so we went to Destin beach/boardwalk and also Panama as well! We'll be back next spring break! Thank you for having us. Spacious, had everything we needed (included some things like dish detergent, dish soap, travel sized shampoo and soap. Felt right at home

This home was exactly as pictured in the listing. Kitchen was stocked, which was key since we were having our Thanksgiving dinner there. Neighborhood was super cute and beautifully kept with natural landscaping. We loved that the home was pet friendly, and the neighborhood was too. 2 green spaces , designated for dogs and overflow parking were right by the house. Location of the neighborhood was also great...right between 2 public beach access and close to some shops and eateries.

Excellent experience, the house was very comfortable and very useful, it met all our expectations, clean, with plenty of space and with everything basic for a good stay, pool in the complex and access to the beach very close, with shops and businesses very close in the area, the house has 2 parking spaces, but next to the house there were more parking spaces, the grill was not in good condition but we found a way to get it to work, all the instructions from the host worked perfectly, we would definitely return to this place

We were pleased with beach house. My only complaint is the furniture downstairs. The couch was full cookies and crackers. Upholstery needs a good scrub.

House was perfect size and location was great. To local beach access all within walking distance and a few more 5 to 10 min drive. Lots of places to eat as well. Side note house starting yo show wear and tear missing knobs and few appliances didn't work. Also few holes in wall and ceiling had leak stains. Nothing would keep us from coming back for sure. Also two community pools also makes nice afternoon dips after beach.

Property was walking distance from beach, a short drive to shopping and restaurants, very peaceful and cute neighborhood. House could have been cleaner (dishes had to be washed before use due to water spots and dust, and floors were very dirty, wasp nests all over deck). But overall great experience.
