The property was exactly what we were expecting and hoping for to house our family of 18! It was a great week and would highly recommend to anyone with plans to vacation in Destin.

Having the beach just steps away from your home was the best part, but having such an amazing home came in a close second. The home was extremely clean. The rooms were all a great size and having so many of them was perfect for us. The house is setup were the second floor is only used as a living space (kitchen, family room, dinning room, etc.). Having this type of setup was perfect. It allowed those that wanted to go to bed early or sleep late the chance to do that without hindering the rest of the group. If there was anything to say that we would have changed it would have been to have more cooking utensils and beach towels, but as you can read from above it did not hinder our stay. Overall things were great. We feel blessed to have had the chance to stay here.

Jewel in the Sand is an AMAZING house! We absolutely loved the 3 living areas. There is plenty of seating for the whole family. The pool sits on the beach so it was nice being able to hear the crashing of the waves while watching the kids splash around. It's only a short 15 step walk down to the sugar white sand. We especially enjoyed the 4th floor "party area" which had an outstanding view of the emerald waters and a well furnished balcony as well as a good size TV to watch the games. The elevator was most convenient when carrying up all of the groceries to feed our large family. We will definitely be returning to this beautiful home next year!

The downstairs bedrooms have no windows or second exit. Not sure what the code in Florida is, but these can not pass inspection as bedrooms in most states. Practically speaking they are dark and bedding for 16 people is serviced by two small bathrooms. We only had nine on the first floor and it was insufficient. Further, the refrigerator leaked water in the main compartment and after two repair visits it was not repaired. They did disable the ice maker so no ice for a beach vacation meant ice chests in the kitchen. Not the look or feel we had in mind for a rental of this price.
