This house is very spacious so you aren’t on top of each other. There were 9 of us, 3 were kids. The pool is a good size for beach properties and the view of the lake is great!

The property was beautiful and very spacious. The company was quick to respond. We had issues with the golf cart. Tires were bald and we blew a tire while driving it. It was fixed quickly but ahould not have waited that long to get fixed.

This vacation was so nice. The latest reviews had us worried about coming but we had a magnificent time. Yes there is construction next door but you’re at the beach. The view was awesome. House was great. Come with a golf cart. The management company has changed so look for correspondence from Travel Life Vacations. That isn’t stated well in the current listing and cause some concern when I wasn’t hearing from the booking prior to arriving. But they are wonderful and very responsive. We will be back to this house and Destin. There was something for everyone.

First and foremost let me say that the house itself is beautiful and in an amazing location, you really are a 5-10 minute walk from the beach. And as a pleasant surprise we found out upon arrival that the rental comes with a golf cart. We had a wonderful weekend, but there were a few things that we were unaware of and want to post so that future guests are aware. - The check-in time is 5:00 PM, not 4:00 as says in the website, and I was not informed of this until 3 days prior to travel. - There are no beach/pool towels for guests to use so make sure to pack them. - There are no kitchen “staple” items (olive oil and s&p). - We were unable to find directions on how to light the fire pit. - The house next door (to the right) is in the process of being built, and there were construction vehicles parking in our driveway. Also, the crew works on Saturdays and the houses are VERY close to each other, so if you are planning on having a pool party or bbq you may want to have it on Sunday. - We were unable to locate/use the outdoor trash and recycling bins (as required per the checkout instructions). There was 1 trash bin, but it was full of construction debris from next door and no recycling bin.

We chose this house because of the pictures and the 5-star rating it had. We were disappointed that it did not live up to that expectation and of its price point. I would first like to say that the owners are very attentive. They were very quick to answer any questions I had. One question being if they had chairs for the beach and they quickly responded by asking me how many I needed as to make sure there were enough for us. They were very kind and easy to work with. The amenities of the home are very good, everything worked well and the location is great. As to the house itself, we were immediately disappointed from the moment we pulled up as the pictures of the outside did not look like the pictures that are currently online. Landscaping looks bad with overgrown weeds in the beds in front and in the back yard. The home itself is very worn. The whole house inside and out needs a good cleaning and needs to be repainted. Also, there is a house being built next-door and with the backyard not being private it was awkward to be by the pool until the workers were done for the day.

Overall we loved our stay! The neighborhood is great and is within walking distance of the beach, the community pool and Crab Trap. There is construction going on nearby and a new house being built next door. The views from the balcony and dock are still beautiful. We loved the pool and hot tub and used them multiple times a day. There are some rough spots on the pool deck and some sharp screws sticking up on the decking by the fire pit so we wore sandals unless we were in the pool. Our boys loved seeing the lizards and frogs that would visit. The house is spacious and had plenty of room for 5 adults and 2 kids. We did have some maintenance issues with the sliding glass doors and the A/C but the hosts responded promptly and got things fixed. As with all rentals, it could use a deep clean and some cosmetic repair. It’s a great house though and we’d definitely stay again! Thank you Carlos and Sara!
