The house and location were very good. We did have issues with the refrigerator leaking water when we arrived and the hot water heater went out. The property manager Kathy Shampine was very responsive and was able to get everything fixed pretty quickly, all things considered. Kathy was good to work with and made the situation tolerable. Once everything was resolved our stay was delightful!

Overall, we were very happy with this cottage. The location was very convenient to the beach and the pool, the neighborhood was nice and quiet, andthe cottage was pretty well appointed. We did have a couple of issues. One of the beds had dog fur in it and all over the sheets and coverlet that made us really wonder if it had been changed. It was taken care of immediately by the housekeeping company when we let the property manager know, but we never did get the coverlet back for that bed. In addition, one of the queen beds is in pretty bad shape and didn't make for the best night sleep.

We loved our recent vacation at Kenja Kottage and hope to return next year. The neighborhood is very family friendly and the beach was a short easy walk. Kathy is a very communicative manager and attended quickly to any questions I had. The only negative of the whole week was my husband’s OulKai sandals were taken from the beach shelves so he had to go buy another pair. But we didn’t let that spoil our fun! Beautiful time of year to be in Destin!

We vacationed in a different cottage managed by Kathy last year, and this one did not disappoint either! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and ADORE the cottage retreat neighborhood! It’s super close to the beach and has a bit more privacy since it’s tucked back just a bit! It is a home away from home! LOVED EVERY MINUTE!

Beautiful Cottage and experience

First the booking was easy and the property was just as described. Kathleen was amazing at answering any of my questions and quick communication. When we arrived, the property was beautiful and very well maintained. I just loved the little cottage community with the center area for walking my pup. We arrived earlier than plan but she immediately replied and allowed us in early! The house was clean and spacious. Pool was right behind us so was great for the little ones. This was our first vacation to this area as we normally go to PCB but the area, beach and water was awesome so I hope to stay here again in the future.

Perfect vaca house!

Quick walk to the beach was great. My kids LOVED having bunk beds. Everything was clean. My only complaint is beds not very comfy and overall the house is too bright. Black out curtains would be a great option as my kids were up WAY too early and it was hard for the baby to nap during day. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the location was perfect.

Great spot for a family trip

Great spot for a family trip

I stayed at the cottage with my husband, our four kids (11, 9, 5, 3), and my parents. There was space for us to spread out and we liked that each bedroom had a bathroom. We found the cottage to be well equipped - we prepared many meals in the kitchen and everyone had enough pillows and towels. The location was great - a short walk to the beach and very close to the pool. Even our 3 year old could easily make the trip back and forth. Kathy was responsive, too. We can’t wait to book our next stay.

Great Location!!!

Location to beach and pool were amazing!! We traveled with two families, 4 adults and 6 kids ages ranging from 1-7 and the house was a perfect fit for us. The only thing that would make the place better would be to upgrade the mattresses. Kathy was very quick to respond to a smoke detector issue and had it fixed within the hour.

Family Time - Reconnect

Family Time - Reconnect

Overall, the property was as described with plenty of room for three couples in the three bedrooms. The bedroom were spacious, set apart, and quiet. The bunk beds in the lower level bedroom worked well for the younger children and the kitchen with almost everything appliance you'd need, including a blender for margaritas made at home meal times convenient. The close access to the pool was a bonus for this trip with 3 children but for those who may very more privacy, there is a far amount of foot traffic with this corner house. The access to the private beach was also very close and convenient to go back and forth. Check in and check out were as easy as it gets. We made lots of memories and look forward to coming back.

Overall good

Overall good

The kitchen wasn't very clean when we arrived. There was drived food/drink on cabinet fronts that had been spilled by previous guests. The dishwasher and dryer did not work well. We had a family of 5 staying and it took 2-3 cycles to dry beach towels, so that was frustrating since we were washing them every day. The location was great and the amenities were nice. Other than these few things, it was great.

Spring Break

We had scheduled Kenja Kottage for Spring Break 2020 and the world shut down a few days before our trip due to COVID. Kathy allowed us to reschedule for this year. This was a great trip to get out of our house after a year of staying in. The cottage is big, roomy, clean and comfortable. The pool was right next to us and the beach was a block away. We will look to stay here when we return again to Destin.
