We had 9 total (5 adults 4 kids) stay here for 7 days. Great location! Plenty of activities to do east and west of the house within 10 miles. Beach was 1/2 mile away. Easy to walk to. Had plenty of beach items in the garage( boogie boards, sand toys, chairs) nice but small covered back porch to relax while kids played in the pool. The pool was a little small but we didn’t care. 4 nice lounge chairs to layout on.

Great place to stay. Very convenient to the beach.

The house was in a very nice clean neighborhood about two blocks from the beach. it was clean and had everything as advertised. My family and I picked this house over others because it came with a small pool and a hot tub. Mainly the hot tub. Kids were ecstatic about the hot tub. The first day we went outside, and my son stuck his hand in the hot tub to fill the water and he pulled his hand out and told me. ”Daddy I felt a shock in my hand and through my body” we didn’t think nothing of it, and did not take him serious. About two hours later, we received a message from the realtor. 7:30 PM “Good evening!” “There was a little issue with the hot tub, possible loose wiring. I have a service request out for repair. Please don't use it till its inspected, I have not given me a date they can service it once they do our message you. It does run and filter but the loose wire could cause electrical current in the water if you get in it” Mary The realtor needless to say, this message could have been late and we could have had a tragic accident with my 10-year-old son😡 she told me that she was going to try to get it fixed, but did not have a date or time. at the end of the day, the hot tub would not be operable for the entire eight day trip. I asked for a refund of some sort since we picked this house over others because of the hot tub and reluctantly, all she offered was $100 total after we spent $5000 on the rental. just lucky my son is alive.

I loved the property and the pool and hot tub in the backyard. I dislocated my kneecap on day one there so I wasn’t able to enjoy the beach but having the backyard tropical oasis made the trip more bearable for me!!! The kitchen is wonderfully equipped and we had everything needed to make some great meals there. I would definitely stay again!!!

Good house, Smaller pool, great location,

Location is perfect. Everything you need away from home. Would stay here again.

Mary was wonderful to deal with and property was as advertised. Would definitely stay again!

The home met all expectations. Pool and hot tub were nice. Pool was smaller than we expected, but well heated and turned out just fine.

It was close to the beach and the pool was a good size for the children

Visited with our family, perfect place for babies, with amenities like pack and play and high chairs, beach toys, and baby gate.

My family of 8 which included 3 grand kids had a great stay at Ravens Nest. The house was very well maintained and the owner was very hands on, while not being disruptive, with any questions or needs as they came up. I’d highly recommend staying here if you get the chance. The property details are exactly as disproved on the websites.

Great location. Close to beach. House had everything we needed for our family. Check in was easy. Property manager was responsive. We would definitely stay again.

Owner was very prompt and helpful when we needed anything. Love love loved having bikes. Made a huge difference. Easier to carry things to and from beach quickly and easily. And riding bikes to restaurants is much easier then driving and looking for parking.

My family and I loved the privacy of the house. Very spacious for children to play around. Few things need to be updated, the living room pillows need to be replaced, couch needs deep cleaning along with area rug. The pool was great, kids loved it. BBQ grill was found a bit dirty. I would suggest a bit of more lighting in the backyard area during evening hours. Overall it was a great experience, it just needs a bit of more maintenance.

We loved staying at this rental. Communication was top notch from the beginning and throughout the stay. It was immaculately clean. Kitchen had every dish or utensil we would hope to have! We loved the heated pool and hot tub for days that were too windy or cool for the beach. Private beach access for the development wasn’t far at all. We rode bikes, but would be an easy walk. Loved the private location, very quiet! It had everything we needed and more! Hope to stay again!!

The property was exactly as described, a 1/2 mile walking distance to the beautiful beach, great communication with the owner, and our family enjoyed the heated pool!

The homeowner, Mary, was excellent to communicate with. We really enjoyed our stay and would go back!!

Spacious, clean, with a lot of extra things available: bikes, beach toys, wagon, baby gear, grill. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Pool is small, but wonderful regardless. My kids loved it! Water temp was perfect. At night, the adults enjoyed the hot tub. We had one glitch with hot tub controls, and the property manager helped us fix the mode error quickly. Neighborhood is well-kept, quiet, and conveniently located.

Home was absolutely beautiful. Beach was beautiful. We truly had a wonderful stay

Buena locación cerca de la playa, la casa es amplia, la alberca es pequeña pero perfecta para familias con niños pequeños! Mary fue muy buena a la hora de comunicarme con ella y muy eficiente!

Me and my wife was here on our honeymoon. The house is very nice and has great amenities. Mary is super helpful and provides all info needed. Definitely will use in future.

Beautiful house, short walk to beach, pool is on the smaller side but didn’t detract from the house or our experience. My 6 year old loved it!

Excellent stay in Destin and easy walking distance to the beach. Hot tub is a big plus.

Very nice property within walking distance to the private beach entrances. Excellent owner, will stay here again.

Very nice clean house to enjoy Destin in. The garage was equipped with beach chairs and toys. A quick 5 minute walk to the beach was a plus. We really enjoyed the pool with a water fountain. We ate almost every meal outside by the pool. Mary was responsive and made renting her home a seamless process. The bedrooms are comfortable and there were plenty of towels and linens. I would recommend staying here if you are looking for a convenient and comfortable place by the beach.

Very nice house close to the beach.It is located in the safe/ gated neighborhood. Owner- Mery was very responsive. The house was fully equipped Including all the beach equipment extra games for the kids, high chair etc. The only thing which we didn’t realize before renting - size of the pool. Next time we will know we should ask for the measurements. We really enjoy our stay.

Accurate description by owner. The Ravens Nest is well maintained and beautifully landscaped. The back yard area was wonderful, very quiet and private. The house was furnished nicely and very comfortable for 4 adults and 4 children. Quiet neighborhood with beach access a short walk away. The wagon and bikes are an added bonus. Very enjoyable stay.

The house is beautiful and met all our needs. Plenty of room for all of us and our 2 furbabies.. The pool was nice for relaxing in and plenty of lawn chairs around it. Too hot to use the hot tub and the landscaping was beautiful. We only had one problem and that was the shower curtain in the quest bathroom which was plastic and tends to cling to you while trying to shower. I would suggest a hotel grade linen waterproof liner. Other than that we loved the house and would rent again in a heartbeat.

This was such a warm and inviting home. 4 adults, a Gamppy and Gam....momma and daddy. 3 little girls. ages 4,3,and 1. Perfect for the girls, rounded coffee table ends, high chair, pack n play came in so handy! Very clean and updated home! Comfortable beds. Nice eat in kitchen with lots of room. Close walk to beach. We loved the pool and back yard area. Every detail carefully thought out. Only thing l could think to add would be a outdoor ceiling fan over the outdoor dining area. 3rd time we've made the trip together and this is our favorite place. Lots of sun and fun!

My family just loved this property! While the rest of our crazy family (24 people!) were all staying together in a large house a block up the street, we were able to retreat to this wonderful private space we had all to ourselves! I’m sure the owner Mary has her hands full this time of year with rentals, but she was very courteous and helpful in providing all the check in details and communications in a timely manner so we could plan our arrival. What we liked: Nicely furnished. Very clean! Quiet neighborhood. Close to beach. Very Private Fenced back yard with pool and hot tub. Master bath with walk in shower was beautiful! We would most definitely consider this property again for our next visit!

We had a wonderful time at the Raven's Nest. It was super clean, had everything we could possibly need and if there was ever a problem, it was promptly addressed. This was, by far, the best vacation home we've had the pleasure of staying in and cannot thank Mary and Kathy enough for taking care of us. Highly recommend and we hope to come back again in the future!

We enjoyed our stay at the Raven's Nest. It was a very nice house with everything we needed. The master bed and bath was very spacious! Very private backyard with pool and hot tub made for nice relaxing evenings. A short walk to the beach was great too!. Many awesome restaurants within walking distance! Short drive to shopping and everything Destin has to offer!
