The property gave our group of 5 plenty of space to sprawl out. The back deck was a great hangout spot that over looked the canal. The location was perfect and within driving distance of most sights and the beach was close as well.- Reviewed On: 10/19/2021
Great location. Host was very accommodating.- Reviewed On: 9/30/2021
Nice area with access to private beach a 5-10 min walk away. We had 6 people and we all fit very comfortably. Clean house, beautiful porch, quiet and walkable neighborhood. Area to dock boat or just sit outside and watch the marine life in the water. Company is responsive. Would definitely recommend for group trips.- Reviewed On: 9/14/2021

We enjoyed our stay very much! It was convenient for boating and fishing.- Reviewed On: 6/22/2021
We bring our boat to Destin a couple times a year and this rental was amazing. Location was great, dock was brand new, house was clean, and the management was responsive!! The A/C upstairs froze and they have someone there within the hour. The trash was full from the previous renters but that was the only issue we ran into. Beds were comfy and the house looked even better in person. We will for sure be back!!- Reviewed On: 5/17/2021
The house was beautiful and the Back Porch was even better. Me and my family will definitely rent this property again!!- Reviewed On: 4/24/2021
The house is beautiful. It's a spacious 4 bedroom house with upstairs.- Reviewed On: 1/7/2021
Great place. Everything was nice and clean, well prepared, great location only two blocks from the beach. My only knock is that there wasn't a grill outside, so we had to buy our own for the weekend, but that's a very minor complaint. I'd definitely stay here again.- Reviewed On: 10/8/2020
