Our family had a nice time staying here. Everything was described as listed. We really enjoyed the pools at this property. Unfortunately the air conditioning went out on our last days at this property. The host did offer to bring us fans but I believe they ended up having to replace the unit after we left.
5.0
We booked the property based on the number of positive reviews. The property lived up to the great reviews and we had a great time in the area. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed during our stay. The location was convenient and the beach access was a definite plus. We did have a pair of flip flops stollen from the neighborhood beach pavilion one night when we walked the beach - they were left between the two locking gates on the pavilion. The beach chairs / wagon could be upgraded so guests would have the option of bringing them to the beach and avoiding the $50 (2 chair and umbrella) daily rental fee. No beach towels provided so bring your own. The washer and dryer, TV area, dining area , and overall house layout worked great for my family for the week.

I would have given a 5, but there was a leak in the living room coming from the upstairs shower. Our guests had to use our shower downstairs.

We absolutely love staying here. We were a group of 7 and there was more than enough space for everyone. The house was very clean and very easy to reach the host. The short walk to the beach was also a plus and the buggy/beach chair was a nice bonus. Would recommend this cottage to everyone.

Great vacation and value - included beach front chairs - house was nice and rooms spacious. My only negative is that the air conditioning caused my family to get congested - may need new filters. I was also told that a claim was made against us for a cracked fridge shelf - which was already cracked before...:( - Still, we had a great time and I'd return in a heart beat.

Had a great time for our long weekend! Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. The beach and a couple restaurants were a short walk away. A couple coolers and a wagon were already at the house, which made it much easier to get all our stuff to the beach!

We loved the property and the location. 7 of us had plenty of space. Very short walk to the beach with all beach accessories available. Great grill. My only issue was the cleaning which was not thorough.

This home is very spacious and was perfect for our relaxing vacation. The tram ride to the beach was perfect as the walk to the beach is a 7-10 minute walk. We bought fresh shrimp and grilled them one evening- they were delicious!!! Kathy was always available for any questions.

Great stay!
Kathy was always so quick to respond and help us when needed! She fully prepared us for the trip with all her favorite places eat, things to do and all the best spots to see around town. Even though it was a staycation for me I honestly was able to enjoy feeling like her place was a home away from home. The rest of my crew had a blast and thought the house was clean, comfortably furnished in a perfect location. Will recommend to others and hopefully will be bringing more friends and family back!

1st time in Destin
This was our first time visiting Destin. Most beautiful beaches and water we have ever seen and have traveled many cities in the FL area. The house was beautiful, short walk to the beaches. Defiantly come back to the area next year. Management was very accomodating and easy to work with!! Highly recommend.

My family stayed here for 10 days over the Thanksgiving holiday and it was quiet, clean and everything the description described. Very spacious and a fully stocked kitchen. I had everything I needed to make our traditional dinner. The host was very responsive and very kind. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and will be back soon!

Family Vacation
My husband and I took our 3 children, our daughter-in-law, our 3 granddaughter's (ages 2, 3, & 4) and my mother on a family vacation. This was the first time some of us had ever been to Destin. It will definitely not be the last. This house was absolutely beautiful!! Not ONE but TWO pools just a few minutes from your front door!! It honestly took longer to get the girls ready to go to the pools than it did to get to them!! It was a short walk to the beach but not bad at all. There's a Dollar General right next door in case you have some late night snack cravings. It's so much easier just to walk to it istead of driving!! Again, this house is perfect!! The beds are so comfortable. It's roomy enough that everyone had their own space. And I have to say the beach wagon that is provided for your use was a blessing!!!! We put so many miles on that thing!! My advice to anyone looking for a place to rent, look no further!!! Kathy, thank you for providing us with such an amazing place for our family vacation!!

Stay Here!!
We found the house to be perfect for our Florida vacation! We loved that it was a short walk to the beach and the host has all you will need to haul your gear down. Home was warm and welcoming, comfy beds, ample cooking supplies. Wonderful place to stay, we had to drag the kids home… think they would have stayed forever!

Exceptional, will be back.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean and as advertised. Any concerns we had, the owner was just a call/text away and immediately addressed them. 4 years strong now to destin for vacation and this house will for sure be on our list for the future.

Great Getaway!
We enjoyed our rental in Emerald Shores. Stowaway Cottage was as presented on VRBO. It was a very convenient location to the pools, beach, shops, and restaurants! The development is well taken care of and quiet. The tram was well worth taking to the beach. Kathy was quick to return calls and even show up when we had an issue. We would stay here again!
