Amazing stay at a gorgeous property!

Not as clean as I would have expected. Kmart feet when we walked around with no socks. Under the outside couch was cigarette butts and lots of debris. Location was great and we did have a great time.

Nice inside furniture, great pool, comfortable beds. Pool chairs are not comfy at all, and a little More paper supply and trash bag supply would’ve been nice for such a large house. Nancy was very professional and responsive! A definite return-

Plenty of room for everyone. The house had everything we needed. Rapid response from maintenance and things were fixed quickly. Perfect vacation

We had the best stay here. We had 10 adults and 7 grandkids under 6. Loved the home. Very spacious and a short walk to the beach several times was perfect. Weather was great.

Unfortunately, our trip to Florida was for a family funeral: I scoured various sites to find a home that had a very light color scheme, beachy colors if possible (non depressing), an area the family members staying nearby could come over and have meals and swim or visit, the younger folks could have their own spaces and the adults could talk. This was the house! We had food catered in and if needed, 26 people can sit downstairs, 10 at the table, the rest at barstools, chairs and sofas, and there are enough dishes to serve all. Everything in good working order. We could easily walk to beach access and let the waves and smells do their curative thing. The house was exactly as pictured and had space upstairs with a pool table and video games for the teens, a pool out back with a gazebo and plenty of seating. The only minor hiccup at all was the door combo did not work at first but before I hung up with the manager, Nancy, a very nice young man was there stating he was there to fix the issue which was done immediately. The property manager was fantastic, available and kind. I have only had one VRBO experience that was equal to the outstanding quality of this home and the property manager. If in the area again, which may be in the fall, that would be my first choice if available. Outstanding!

This house is awesome! Property is just as described. The accommodations are were perfect for my family…spacious, yet homey. Hope it’s available for our next visit.

This was a Girls trip of 8 ladies during Halloween Weekend. My group and I fully enjoyed this beautiful home. It was cozy and roomy. Spacious kitchen with a Keurig and regular coffee maker. Bonus, there is an ice maker which definitely came in handy. Beds were comfortable, main bedroom is located outside of the kitchen with double sinks, tub and a big closet. The proximity to restaurants, Super Walmart and the five minute walk to the beach were perfect. All located on the main highway, approximately 3 blocks from the house. We appreciated the start-up kit of paper towels and toilet paper. Tons of towels and wash clothes underneath the sink. Although the weather was in the 80s during our stay, the extra cost to heat the pool was worth it. Breakfast recommendation: Donut Hole, to add a very good Key Lime Pie. Bonfire recommendation at the Royal Palm Restaurant on Fridays and Mondays. Beautiful sunset. I would highly recommend renting this property.

The property was nice while still feeling cozy (not feeling like our kids were going to destroy everything). The proximity to the beach was great although if you have kids or carts, worth renting a golf cart. Loved having the pool table for extra fun once home from the beach. The biggest complaint is the pool pump went out (obviously prior to our arrival)- we were not notified this was an issue. This issue was not fixed during our stay meaning we could not heat the pool. The kids were unable to swim longer than a few minutes without shivering and being forced to get out. This was a huge reason why we booked this house with kids so it was a very big let down especially considering we booked almost a full week, without being able to enjoy it. The other negative is the dryer did not work well making it difficult to keep up with laundry/towels etc with a large group. Good place to stay but would really benefit from better communication with the management office (this was lacking) & quicker response with maintenance issues.

Me and my friends spent the the weekend at Thai beautiful home. And it was perfect. No complaints at all. Very clean. Very spacious. Great pool area. Lots of bathrooms. Great stay.

Great time had by all.

The house was very nice with bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate our family and the pool was very inviting. The pool table and games kept us entertained during our stay. Unfortunately, several things were not up to par and dampened our vacation. The home was not well stocked as we are accustomed to. The expectation was that we would keep the house clean but there were not adequate cleaning supplies not even a broom to sweep the floor. The floors were filthy and were definitely not cleaned before our stay. Day one, no hot water. After a day of traveling and time at the beach, we had to contact the property manager to fix the water issue. The first thing we were told was "that has happened before." It should have been repaired before our check-in time. Day two, the HVAC system was not working on the second floor of the home, which led to another call to the property manager and subsequent visit from a HVAC repair tech. More time should be taken preparing the home for future guests.

We stayed at this home with our daughters and their families and my parents. We spent a lot of time in the pool and the game room. Plenty of space for use to spread out and enjoy our vacation.

The most magnificent rental home, steps away from the most magnificent beach in the USA. The home was so well appointed and the owners thought of everything and anything a family would need to enjoy a comfortable beach vacation. Our large family of varying ages will most certainly be returning yearly to Destin and to the beautiful Aqua Viva home near Crescent Beach.

The house looked exactly like the pictures and is very walkable to the beach and Destin Commons plus a couple of other shopping areas. There were 5 adult couples, a teen and 2 kids under 10 in our group so the bed/bath count was perfect! We did have to replenish toilet paper, paper towels, etc but we expected that so went shopping first day. The ice maker, arcade game and pool table are great amenities. The pool area is very nice for all ages and the electric grill outside was very useful. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Destin.

This property is amazing and as advertised. We had a great time and hope to return next summer.

The home is beautiful, location is perfect and having the pool in the back yard was amazing especially with kids. We had the pool heated definitely recommend! The walk to the beach isn’t bad at all the house has a wagon and lots of chairs very convenient. No parking close to the beach so prepare to walk. The home is great for a large group!

From the moment you open the door the house is as described. The casual coastal feel was inviting throughout the entire house. The pool and outdoor area were comfortable and inviting (recommend heating it). Beach was a short walk. Important to note tents are not allowed at closest entrance due to private beach areas so if you have one you should walk farther down the main road to avoid dragging through sand for awhile. Overall wonderful home and vacation for our group of 14. Thanks!

Great house and location, would rent again. Only drawback was harassment by local police one night which they said was at behest of the owners. Not sure whether to believe that or not.

5 couples enjoyed a week in this lovely house. Chef Ray Fernandez’ food was exceptional. The pool heater wasn’t working, which was disappointing, but we still had a fabulous time.

Very nice property. A little disappointed on some items we needed to purchase such as garbage bags, soaps, etc and not enough towels so we had to do laundry. I’ve stayed in many VRBO locations and haven’t had this issue. Overall it is a beautiful clean place! We had a great time.

Really enjoyed our vacation!

The house and location were perfect! Would highly recommend this property and will make sure to return.

House was perfect

House was the perfect size for my family and the location was great. Only issues we experienced were the washing machine was broke and not capable of washing more than a few items at a time. Management was super responsive when we called and came quickly but there was no true fix to the issue. Also, the grill outside had an empty propane tank so we had to run to the store and purchase a new tank to be able to grill our dinner. Aside from these two issues the house was great, would definitely stay again.

From the very first communication, this has been an amazing experience! The house was exactly as described. The description said it came with a starter set of basic toiletries so we came prepared with extras and didn’t even have to use them (except the paper towels). Short walk to the beach (about 5-10 mins). Pool was amazing temperature! We had one minor maintenance concern and they responded right away! Def would love to stay here again!

Our family stayed here in celebration of my in-laws’ 50th anniversary. They loved having their whole family together in a home that was absolutely perfect for all of us. Enough space for everyone to have their own room and bathroom. The pool was perfect, with afternoon shade which was a great break from the blazing sun. Comfy beds, well appointed, great neighborhood. Easy walk to the beach or shopping. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would highly recommend this to everyone.

This house is perfect for a large family gathering. The property manager was very attentive, professional and polite. We would recommend this house 100%.

Space was great to have room for each family unit as well as a bunk room for the kids. The pool and ice maker came in clutch. I would highly recommend for family gatherings!

Clean, homey, great for 3 generations (8 adults with 8 kids) of family. The closeness (walking distance even for our 2 and 3 yr olds) to the beach was awesome. Beautiful, calm beach. Close to restaurants and stores if you need them, but house was in the quiet neighborhood, which was great for a vacation feel. Would definitely book again. Thanks!

Lovely place but would love more outdoor shaded area to sit. Would stay again. Plumbing issues in some of the sinks

This was our second year at Aqua Viva and it was just as wonderful as last year!
