This home was breathtaking!! The views from the kitchen were breathtaking! Words won’t do it justice. Hubby and I enjoyed morning coffee on the rooftop deck. The open floor plan was perfect for our family. Every room was super spacious. Two of them, right off the back deck. Decor was modern, bright, light. Super comfy, luxurious, and family friendly. The master bedroom is to die for! The swimming pool area gave us sooooo many memories and photoshoot backdrops! The beach couldn’t be any closer for comfort. EVERYTHING!!! Only downside: wanted just a wee bit more security. The bedroom doors leading to the deck were secured with a stick in the door. The back door leading to the patio - only secured by a dead bolt which is concerning bc the back and side property are not gated and open. But, it’s ok bc that neighborhood is extremely quiet. We stay in that area every year and always feel safe. If you’re ok with a lot of stairs, then this house is for you. Overall, we would likely rent again! This house is a winner!

Everything was really great. But there are a few things to note. The condition of the property was just ok. There were several things that needed repair and maintenance. The gate code to the neighborhood was incorrect. We asked about some things like a crib and high chair and was told i neededto contact a rental company, but when we arrived, we found these items already there. Which would have been great to know. All in all we had a great weekend and would return if they repaired a few things.

We are a group of 10- women, who look for a beautiful house near or on the beach in Destin, Florida annually. The house was beautiful online but did not meet our expectations upon arrival. There were more than 15 blinds missing on the second floor, and the level 3 deck was the most disappointing. Furniture was old and torn, rusted and the hole at the entrance to the deck made it unsafe for us. House sleeps 20 people but was not prepared for 20. This house needs a serious upgrade.

Friends and family stayed for a week and the property was VERY disappointing. Holes in Walls, rust and dirty vents, broken umbrellas, wallpaper tearing off walls, light bulbs out, cracking tiles, broken trashcans, broken pool chairs… the list goes WAY on. Beach reunion was only willing to refund a VERY minimal amount (<10%) after we spent a great amount (cannot say specific amount due to review policy). We gave them a chance to make it right after submitting photos… but we wont be staying with Beach Reunion again. 0 stars. This property was very poorly maintained and us “reaching out” to them upon arrival is not realistic to have someone perform renovations during our vacation stay…

Our family met up in this home that is beautifully situated (2nd row yet very close to the main gate) and closely located to the beach (3 mins from the beach). There is lots of space on every level, no one felt like they were in another’s space. The basement/bottom floor has three bedrooms with Queen sized beds (comfortable and firm). Two of these rooms have sliding doors that open to the yard/pool area, and two have their own bathrooms). Also, what once was the garage was turned into a bunk room area with 6 Queen sized bunk beds! Main floor has a King sized room/suite. All this to say there is LOTS of space for every family member that came together! The A/C upstairs had a much better flow than one particular basement room and certainly the bunk bed area could do with some central air flow too, yet floor fans were utilized to help. Still,eveyone survived despite this. The home was clean and provided linens and towels were clean as well. Great Views! The upper stairs led to a rooftop with an ocean view. The main floor has a wrap around outdoor sitting area with views of pool and mini water/lake. Bathrooms were spacious.The kitchen had everything that was needed in regard to utensils and pots despite worn cabinets; no hindrance though. Even though it was necessary to get supplies like extra paper towels, dish soap, dishwasher pods etc. it was a small inconvenience. Overall, the house is clearly 4.8 stars. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend it for large families.
