Ray is a wonderful owner who has put a lot of effort in making a wonderful place for vacationers to come and have a home away from home. This property is everything it is listed as, and Ray was a pleasure to work with. All positives on everything! I would suggest renting a golf cart if you carry a lot of bunch stuff. Also, it’s a good place, so the beaches get plenty of people.

The property is exactly as promised - walking distance to the beach, quiet neighborhood and clean. We didn’t have hot water for the first part of our stay, but it was fixed as soon as I reached out to Ray. The front door is a little quirky but calling the property manager helped us get in. I would return to the property in the future!

The group had an amazing time with this property and will definitely return next time we have this many people. Very walkable to the beach in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. We did have an issue with not having enough hot water for our 12 people to shower every evening and parking was tight for 4 vehicles. The host and neighbors are chill so long as your group does the same.

Big house and close to the beach

Big house and close to the beach

The house was great and the location was too. The only strange thing was the lack of hospitality. Only one dish towel in the kitchen, no replacement for toilet paper or paper towels. The oven mits for taking pans out of the oven were almost useless. Along with that, someone came up and worked on a sprinkler right in front of the front door for about an hour or so without notifying us beforehand. Also, on the last night we were staying, huge bags of sheets, blankets, etc. were just left right in front of the door. Seems unprofessional when we weren't set to leave until the morning after. Would be a 5-star review if it wasn't for those things.

Another trip to the beach

Great property! Everything was there that we needed to have a great week! Very short walk to the pool and the beach! We had a great time, and the house was big enough to enjoy family time or personal time. I would recommend this property to others looking for a great place. The property was well maintained, and you did not have to have a degree in engineering to operate the televisions! Great stay, we will be back!

definitely bring your own blankets. 8 people can sleep comfortable without pull out sofas.

The neighborhood was quite which was what the family was looking for also the beach was close by which was of the utmost importance. The property managers does respond quickly to your request/ concerns.

Great location!

Great location!

The house was great & we had enough beds for all 12 of us. We were concerned that the AC wasn’t cooling off the upstairs bedroom & loft compared to the rest of the house (first night there) but woke up cold in the middle of the night, so it just needed time to cool off & worked perfectly the rest of the week. This house is just a short walk from the beach. They’ve got strict HOA rules but I can see why - the neighborhood is very well maintained. The pool’s just a few houses down & clean as well. I would stay here again.

This house was exactly what we wanted. We have always stayed in a condo on the ocean and decided to change it up this year. We were not disappointed! Beautiful home, perfectly peaceful neighborhood. And best of all, it is a stone’s-throw to the beach. We will be staying here for many years to come. Thanks, Ray (Owner) for renting your beautiful home to us. You are fantastic.

We loved this house and the location! It was such a quaint and beautiful neighborhood and it was truly just a short walk to the beach. We took a utility wagon and loaded everything we needed and walked over. House was clean and large enough for all 10 of us. Loved spending evenings and mornings on the front porch. Ray was super easy to work with and was very prompt in answering any questions. Thank you for sharing your house with us! We made lots of wonderful memories!

We had a great time and the location is a short walk from the beach. However the house needs a deep cleaning as the showers were dirty and the sheets seemed like they might not have been switched. Overall it is a nice house with a friendly neighborhood.

We had a wonderful time with our kids and some family friends. The house was clean and accommodating. We love that it is a very short walk to the beach. It’s great to have the beach as well as the neighborhood pool for the kids to play. Do bring extra blankets if you are planning on using the pull out beds in the living room. Sheets were provided but we needed blankets as well. But such a great house!

We had a family with 4 kids ranging from 2 to 9 years old and 2 single people. It worked out amazing. The family was able to take the entire upstairs with the very cool loft for the kids and my friend and I stayed downstairs in the two rooms with shared bathroom. The beach was so convenient to get too. And there are many things super close for food or household needs. Highly recommend! The house is gorgeous inside and out. Owner and management are extremely responsive and amazing to work with.

We have a friends group that has made Destin our yearly vacation Spot. We have done this for about the past 5 years and this property was by far the best one we have stayed at so far. The house was beautiful and had plenty of space for all 10 of us. The pool and close proximity to the beach made our stay even better.

Beautiful Home

Beautiful Home

This is a beautiful property with a very beachy feel! Close proxmity to the beach and a pool a few houses down that was never crowded! We had 8 people in our group which included 4 kids who loved the bunk beds. We never felt we were all over each other. The kitchen was well equipped. Ray was very responsive to all my questions before we arrived. We really enojyed out stay! One note is to please read the HOA rules. They are not playing around. Someone in our group (without my knowledge) hung towels in front not knowing you were not allowed and less than an hour later someone snapped a picture and thus we had to pay a fine!!
