House exceeded our needs
This place is fully stocked. Everything in kitchen you could need. Garage area had tons of toys, chairs, umbrellas for beach. Unlike a lot of rentals, this place had it all. Would highly recommend.

Destin Family Vacation
I stayed at Villa Playa with a family of 15. 1 8 year old and the rest were 18 up to 55. We had a great time and loved the house. The positives are the closeness to the beach. It is a very short walk across the street and it made it easy to go back and forth. There were many chairs, umbrellas and beach toys made available in a storage closet in the garage. There is also a second refrigerator in the garage that was very helpful with a big group of people. The house was well stocked with kitchen supplies and plenty of sets of packaged towels. More than enough for everyone. Although the pool is very small, it is great. We loved coming back from the beach and jumping in. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds were comfortable The biggest negative is the security in the neighborhood. Quiet time is 10pm and if you are making any noise at all on the balcony, the security guard will come by and threatened to fine you. A few nights there was a nice security guard , but several nights the guy wasn't very nice. The houses on all sides are very close and you can see right in each others windows. Overall, the house is great and I think you would enjoy your stay here

Worse house rented!!!
First of all, this house is in a gated neighborhood and you to go through a security check to get into the property. The security person at the gate was very rude. Our family arrives at different time and the security guy was giving us a hard time because he expected each car to have an entry tag to get in the gate. He follow us to the house to make sure we were guest there. The second problem was the parking. You can not park on the side of the street or blocking the side walk. We were told to move out cars because the tail of the car was slightly blocking the side walk. If you have multiple cars, good luck with the parking! Third, the swimming pool is tiny. The dimension is probably 4x7. We were expecting a bigger pool. Two people might be able to swim at a time. Also, in-order to get to the back yard, you have to go through one of the bedroom. If someone is occupying the bedroom, there is no way to get to the backyard. Fourth, there are multiple things broken in the house. Toilet downstairs were broken. We had to call someone to come fix it. The faucet in the bathroom in one of the room was broken. Last, this house is not meant for little kids. To get in the house, you will have to walk up some tile steps. Very steep, slippery and dangerous. Same problem when you are inside the house, there are steps connectiong the kitchen to the living room that were the same way. The security, parking and tiny swimming pool really ruin our vacation.

Most relaxing vacation ever!
This house had everything we needed. Location, secluded, security of a gated community and every amenity you could ask for. Check in/out was simple. We will definitely be back and let others know about this rental property. Perfect for large groups/families.

Perfect Get Home for 5 Couples!
We spent a week in this lovely home with 4 other couples. The bedrooms all have private baths and the beds are super comfortable! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook fabulous meals including a shrimp boil one night and green drinks every morning! This gated community is within walking distance from plenty of restaurants and the beach access is so very close! Bikes were a nice perk! We will definitely vacation in this home again!!!

The Villa Playa was a gorgeous beach home just a short walk to the beach.
Our family reunion was blessed to share 2 homes during our stay in Destiny by the Sea. This home had the added bonus of having an elevator to navigate the 3 floors! The furnishings were marvelous and very comfortable throughout. My only recommendation would be to upgrade balcony furniture on the 3rd floor Master suite.

Great for large groups!
Villa Playa was perfect for our large group ( we had 16 people). Beach access was easy, and we were able to go back and forth to the beach all day. Great layout, room for everyone. The 3rd floor balcony at sunset was our favorite, although we ate several meals on the 2nd floor balcony. A big plus for us was being able to walk to restaurants, and walk down the beach for happy hour. All the bikes were a plus, beach chairs and toys were provided. Great neighborhood, with hot tub and pool at the clubhouse. Kids enjoyed having 2 TV' s in the bunkroom, one for games , and one to watch.

Loved Villa Playa!
We just completed a week stay at Villa Playa. What a gorgeous home! It was everything it was advertised to be! The beautiful beach is just a few steps away and there are several great places to eat within walking distance. Enjoyed The Crab Trap and it is literally a very short beach walk away! The neighborhood is wonderful. Villa Playa is in a gated community and is safe and secure for the kids to walk or ride bikes. Many different sizes of bikes are provided! Villa Playa is beautifully decorated. Each bedroom is large with its own walk in closet and private bath. All bedrooms have Flat screen TVs. The family areas are big and spacious to enjoy a meal or card game. I am already planning a return trip to Villa Playa!

Fabulous home!
Magnificent home and a fabulous location! We had an amazing time celebrating our wedding anniversary at the luxurious Villa Playa. This home had everything we could want, beautifully decorated and all of the appliances are new and fresh. The gourmet kitchen is huge with plenty of room for entertaining. All of the bedrooms are spacious and beautifully decorated with private baths. The beach is easy to walk to just a couple hundred feet out the front door and there are several restaurants within walking distance (The Crab Trap is wonderful!) The home is equipped with bikes for all ages and we enjoyed morning rides through the neighborhood. We will most definitely stay here again, great location to the beach, great location for biking and a variety of restaurants within walking distance. Beautiful, can't wait to come back!

Two Family Vacation
We absolutely love Villa Playa. We have stayed there 2 consecutive summers and hope to do it again next summer. Our families include 4 adults, 2 young adults and 4 kids under 12. There was plenty of room for everyone and we never felt crowded. The location is excellent. We were a short walk to the private beach and could easily go back and forth throughout the day. The house is beautiful, very spacious and well maintained. We loved spending evenings relaxing on the patio listening to the ocean . I highly recommend!

Fabulous Home!!! Can't wait to come back.
What a perfect house!!! Villa Playa is exceptional and had ALL of the amenities....gourmet kitchen, gas grill, comfortable beds, flat screen TVs in every bedroom, etc. House came with bikes, beach chairs and umbrellas, and an extra refrigerator! Couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay. The house was very clean and had everything you could want in a vacation home. There are several restaurants within walking distance and everything you want is nearby. Really loved being in a gated neighborhood with a pool and easy access to the private beach. We were very impressed and look forward to coming back.

September 2014
Just concluded my 4th vacation to this house and I couldn't ask for anything more. Its a 1.5 minute walk to the sand and another 1.5 minutes to the water. The beach is private so even during spring break you'll be able to get a spot on the beach. The garage has plenty of bicycles in it for kids or kids at heart and the garage closet has plenty of beach chairs, toys and a full size fridge/freezer to keep extra food & drinks in. The downstairs master bedroom has a private bar and access to the outdoor pool plus a large sectional for comfortable seating. The bunk room has beds for 6, 2 TV’s and an ihome so its perfect for kids. The are also several other ihomes throughout the house. The elevator makes it easy to unload luggage without having to drag your bags up the stairs. 2nd floor has a very comfortable outdoor seating area with a big stainless steel grill and a good view of the water. The living room can comfortably seat 10 with easy viewing of the big TV and the full size kitchen has Viking stainless steel appliances and plenty of dishes to accommodate the whole house. There are several restaurants within walking distance in case you didn't drive or rent a car and its 2-3 miles from Destin Commons which provides an ample amount of shopping. After staying here I can't really think of anything else I would ask for except to go to it more often; it really is a home away from home.

Great location, very well equipped house
We enjoyed our stay at Villa Playa, which was very well furnished from the half dozen+ bikes and beach umbrellas, chairs and toys in the garage (I wished I had known that ahead of time) and plentiful dishes, wine glasses, etc. However we could tell that the house was getting a lot of occupants throughout the summer. Not the cleanest house, clogged drains, inop range fan, weak internet, two queens on the top floor, not the 2nd floor as we understood it and a few other items. But no significant issues that impacted our stay significantly. The gated community, neighborhood pool and walking distance access to the beach made enjoying the location easy. The inside of the house, while comfortable, is not the most toddler friendly, with tile floors, sharp corners, etc...so you'll have to follow your small ones around.

Wedding Crew
We were very pleased with our accomodations at "Villa Playa". The house was large enough to accomodate our wedding party and had all the ammenities we desired. The only recommendation I would have, would be an extra refrigerator. With a house this large and the amount of families that could stay here, it really needs more refigeration. We would definitely stay here again!

Destiny By The Sea
My family recently spent a week at this location. The pictures do not do it justice. The house was beautiful, clean and very accomodating for 22 guests. All the amedities were available The property was clean and very well-mantained. The beach location and access was excellent without the expensive price of the houses located directly on the beach. The beach is private which allowed us to just sit back, relax and enjoy. We have stayed at other locations in Destin and this by far was the best experience ever. All you need to bring is the food, swimsuits and beach towels. We reserved the house through Fivestar Beach Rentals, who provided EXCELLENT customer service. Highly recommend

Spring Break 2012
This is a fabulous house in a fabulous location! The house is very roomy and you don't feel like everyone is on top of each other. It has all the comforts of your own home. It is a very short walk to the beach! There are also some stores and restaurants within walking distance. They also have bicycles and beach chairs/toys for your use. This would be a great house for several families to rent together or for a big family reunion. The elevator makes it easy for elderly people to stay as well. We will definitely come back to this house!! I highly recommend this house!

New Years (2011/2012)!!!
What a fabulous house in Destin!!! We went with family over the New Year Holiday (2011/2012) with all age groups. Older parents loved the convenience of the elevator and the close walk to the beach. Also, within walking distance was the great food at the Crab Trap Restaurant! Home is fully stocked and all furnishings first class! Enjoy...we will be back again for sure!!!

We enjoyed the house & location. We had 15 people staying the week & the house accomodated all of our needs (8 adults/7 children). The proximity to the beach was awesome. After a hard day of swimming & sunning at the beach we enjoyed the backyard pool ... very relaxing. Nothing but wonderful memories!
