The property was great good location and beach was real close!! I would go back to same place and location again!!

We loved our stay in Destin! The property was wonderful and very spacious! We will be back

I really like being close to the beach and pool and this property did that. The pool was about 10 houses down from where we were. There was a small tunnel you could walk through to get beach side. For most of the week the tunnel was full of water and tadpoles so you couldn’t walk through it. After 3-4 days the city I believe came and sucked the water out and you could use it. There were some issues with the house. There were many lightbulbs out which I did call about. The upstairs tub drained extremely slow. The upstairs toilet chain kept coming undone and the flush handle would swivel around. The locks on the upstairs bathroom didn’t work..actually the door wouldn’t shut all the way. The master bathroom downstairs the door wouldn’t lock. Those are a few things that need fixed. There was a lake in the back that had pretty cool turtles to see. For the most part we had a good time. It would be nice if the property had bikes or a golf cart. Thanks for having us Florida

Convenient and perfect for our group.

Very clean and spacious. We had 12 guest in our group and everyone slept comfortably and enjoyed the stay.

An honest review: Location is what really shines through with this property. You are walking distance from the beautiful sandy beach! By walking distance I mean less than 5 min! There is also a beautiful lake behind the property. The view is gorgeous! Both kitchens had ample space and were practical/efficient. Washer and dryer both upstairs/downstairs is also a plus. The cons: This site was not cleaned as thoroughly as I would have preferred. Even more so when you are paying for a cleaning fee upon booking. I have attached some pictures to show what I mean. There were areas that we had to vacuum (good thing we brought one) and when we mopped with our makeshift mop the rag was pretty dingy. The rail that goes upstairs we wiped with a Clorox wipe and it was black from dirt in just one swipe. Even that until this point is tolerable. What really was the tipping point is when I changed the sheets in one of the bedrooms (because there were a couple hairs on the sheets on the bed, again good thing I brought my own) there were stains from what looked like all sorts of bodily fluids or even blood on the mattress. Which has me questioning weather they even changed the sheets or if they did and didn’t care to clean it or replace the mattress or buy a mattress protector. When we called to complain and let them know there were a lot of areas that seemed dusty/ and or not cleaned we were simply told “we don’t do that”. No intent of fixing the situation. By that point we had already cleaned the place and was too late to book elsewhere. If location Is your primary focus you will love the place. If cleanliness is your focus I would suggest you find another place or come prepared to work before enjoying your stay here. There was also no pump hand soap in the bathrooms/kitchens and just one toilet roll in the bathroom so plan accordingly. Hope this review helps someone else when looking at booking this place!

Condo was beautiful and just the right size for my family. Real close to the beach and restaurants. Highly recommend

Omg! Property was immaculate and easy beach access. I have no complaints whatsoever

We will be back. Oh yes, we will be back!

Our family rented the Emerald Villa for the week. Both kitchens had everything that would be needed. It was spacious and no one fought for a bathroom. It’s so close to everything that, when we needed take-out or fast run the the store it wasn’t a hassle. We loved it will be back!

We had two families sharing the two-story unit and it was THE BEST experience we have ever had! The unit was clean, all appliances worked, beds were VERY comfortable, location was ideal and the stay was easy in-and-out. We will definitely be back!

We had a great time at this property. The location was convenient and close to the beach. We will stay again.

We enjoyed staying at this location. It was close to the beach and restaurants. We almost extended a couple of days but couldn't after a death of a friend back home! We will be back and may rent this place again. Thank you very much for the great place!

Had no problems

No problems at all. Close to everything we wanted to do. The place was clean and comfortable.

This is our 4th time to stay at Destiny Villas. We enjoy it every time. This villa is decorated so so cute and comfortable! We will be back!

Very easy rental. Very informative instructions. Property manager was easy to get ahold of and talk to before our stay; very accommodating.

We loved staying at this quiet lake view property within a short walking distance to the beach. I can’t give the property 5 stars because the downstairs bathroom had a terrible shower head and the upstairs master bathroom tub was very slow to drain. Overall, a wonderful property!

The house was very nice and clean when we arrived. The only complaints I have is if the owners have read the reviews concerning the sofa bed on the first floor, then it should have been replaced. You cannot even enjoy it as a sofa let alone utilize the sofa bed! This need to be replaced ASAP! The deadbolts on the doors used to exist onto the porch or balcony's will not lock all the way, this does create a safe issue for those who want the security of the deadbolt. The heating system is not balanced at all! The living area is cold and the bedrooms are like a furnace. The HVAC needs to be balanced for sure. Other than those items mentioned, it is a great house with a great location.

We normally stay in a condo but our family is growing so we decided to get a house this year. Now I have to admit, we will want to stay in a beach home from now own. Emerald Villa was just perfect for our family. We rented both units so we had more than enough room. This place was amazing! The kitchen was very well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. The location is absolutely perfect. The rental process was very simple. The only thing that was slightly disappointing was the size of the back deck. It really does need to be extended so you can sit out there and enjoy the beautiful view of the lake without being so crowded. I definitely recommend staying at this beautiful beach home!

Very nice place nice location. The sofas need replaced. They are “unsittable” if that is a word. The two rooms with the King beds were great, but the other two rooms a standard bed in one and two twins in the other?? Really? You need to upgrade those two other rooms to have queens in them. I left a message for the property manager with a question about which pool we should use since the unit we were in was right next to the swimming pool and it shows that pool in the photographs in the ads. But I did not get a return phone call from the property manager on Sunday or Monday. I had to ask existing residents which pool we should use. Other than that things went well

This location was perfect for our stay. The house was really nice and any concern we had management was on top of it. We will definitely recommend this home.

Great location! Tunnel to the beach was great, although it did have the F word written in it(the entire time we were there.) The House was so easy to get into, House was just perfect. We were concerned about Hurricane Barry, so we weren’t able to arrive early or take advantage of any extra curricular activities the first day. W had a great stay!

Absolutely Awesome! Perfect for our extended family!! Can’t wait until next year!!!!

My wife and I stayed here with our two daughters and their families. There were 7 adults and 4 kids. We had plenty of room and the accommodations worked out well. The only glitch was the 1st floor master bath drain was clogged and the drain plug would not stay open. I removed the debris the best I could and wedged the handle of a spoon into the drain to hold the plug open. This worked well enough for us to shower. I believe the photo cell on the outdoor light needs replacing. The light remained on our entire 4 night stay. We enjoyed the location of this property. Our grand kids liked feeding the turtles in the lake behind the property and the community pool was nice. Access to the beach was convenient. Overall, we had a great time in Destin and this property worked out well for us. Kershaw's from H'town

You can’t beat the location for this rental. It’s right next to a public beach and has plenty of parking. The lagoon view was beautiful. The pool was large and heated and my kids really enjoyed that. It’s also very close to the outlet mall. The actual accommodations though were lackluster to say the least. The downstairs couch was so dirty that we had to put a sheet on it just to sit. The chairs in the living area were not much better. The kitchen drawers were dirty with a sticky substance and all the knives were dull. One of the bathroom tubs was stopped up and wouldn’t drain. Having two full kitchens was a plus. It was also nice having so many balconies. Overall we would stay in the same neighborhood because of the location and layout of the house but we would not stay in this particular unit.

We rented this property to share with 2 other couples and a single traveler while spending a long weekend in Destin. It was a great size for our group and everyone had their own bedroom and bathrooms. Plenty of hot water and parking was great too! It was a short walk to the beach and The Crab Trap and a quick drive to Publix and other shopping/restaurants. We would stay here again any time!

Me, my sons and there girlfriends had a great time. I wish we could have stayed longer. Great location and the home is beautiful and had everything we needed. The rental agency was great also. Very friendly. I would rent this house and use the agency again.

Place was nice. Mattresses ok Need more outdoor chairs. Wish the porches were bigger and that we knew that there was no beach chairs

My family took a girls trip to Destin, and loved staying in this property. The location was great—there is a small tunnel leading to the beach and it takes only a few minutes to walk there. The property was clean and the management was helpful. We had an issue with the disposal when we first arrived but within an hour someone came out to fix it. There was plenty of room for 6 people. We definitely want to come back!

House was great and roomy. Rented both units, upstairs and down for two family’s together. Great location and easy walking to the beach and Crab Trap restaurant. Crab Trap had great food but was pricey. Nice view of the ocean while we ate and they opened the window at our table. I believe this location is the best on scenic us98 where all the housing is along the beach. Farther down the road toward Sandestin it was really busy with people everywhere and a ton of condos. I’d stay here again at the Destiny Villas anytime. Pool was nice on the property too. Kitchens were well stocked and both had Keurig’s which were used everyday. The king bed in the master bedroom upstairs was pretty hard, the master bedroom downstairs has a lot more comfortable bed. I’d want a mattress topper added to the upstairs bed if I were to ever stay here again tho or a new mattress. Balconies facing the lake were great to sit and watch the turtles and fish while enjoying coffee in the mornings. Overall a great vacation and the water hose was nice outside to wash the sand off.

Emerald Villas @ Destiny was perfect for our mixed group of older and younger adults. Great shower pressure with seemingly endless hot water made daily showers after long days on the pristine beach no problem at all. Efficient kitchens stocked with basic necessities. We loved having one upstairs and one downstairs. Loved the double laundry. The beds are comfy. The TVs are great what little we used them. The walk to the beach is very convenient. With the direct underpass, it took our 50-year old selves from the door of the condo to our daily beach umbrella 10 minutes max. That includes dragging the cooler through the sand so it’s more like 8. Not bad at all. The 20 something’s loved the pools. The AC units were great and kept up with the Destin heat. The condo is exactly as described and was perfect. There are many grocery stores and restaurants very close by and the Destin area holds some of the nicest people on the planet and we absolutely loved our stay. I even called on the last day to see if we could stay one more day. That’s how much we loved it. We will be back as soon as I can get there! Thanks for being so efficient throughout the entire transaction. It was a fantastic trip!
