Beautiful clean home with plenty of room for family of 8. Private pool was great. The landscaping with selected plants was very nice. The items in garage was nice addition. I did report wagon was not useable due to wheel falling off. Air conditioner was struggling to keep the house cool, house manager promptly called for repair and A/C was repaired. Kathy was very helpful and quick to respond. Would recommend this place.

This is the Mary Poppins of rentals... practically perfect in every way! The management: Kathy at Kastle keepers was great with booking and spot on for recommending heating the pool. She was very accessible via phone calls. We had a false alarm on booking and she was graceful and helpful trying to contact us about our concern as well. Great management! The home: The home was clean, inviting, and well stocked. The layout was perfect for 2 small families or bringing the grandparents etc. The best part was the impeccable design and fine attention to details: outside shower to hose off the dirt, keyless entry, a mini fridge in garage to not take up main fridge space on drinks, huge wagon and amply beach gear etc. From the mom view they have adorable Disney dishes, a great dishwasher, rounded corner, minimal breakables within kid reach, night light outlets and an alarm on the pool door to allow parents to sleep worry free. The neighborhood was quiet with great access to town. If your little one uses a crib they have a great full, a mini crib AND a pack and play... just bring your own fitted sheets/protector. If your kids uses sippy cups or thermos bring those, but otherwise don’t bring a lot of dishes etc as the kitchen extremely well stocked on dishes and utensils for adults and children. The pool: As a pool owner I must say bravo on design. Great use of yard and well thought seating and depths. Comfortable chaise lounges and nice outdoor eating set up as well. Felt like our own private resort. The landscaping kept debris minimal as well. While the beach access was crowded for our taste during a pandemic the state park 5 minutes away was perfect and has a nature trail and secluded small playground too If I HAD to think of few spoiled luxuries I would bring to the house it would be my cordless sweeper vacuum as despite a valiant effort sand (and Cheerios) happen ...your car will thank you ;). (There is corded one in garage.) My fire stick as our kids use Disney plus/netflix and their puddle hoppers/life vest for the pool. I have already recommended secret paradise to another family. Thank you for a much needed refreshing family vacation in a perfectly planned family home.

The house was very well equipped. Plenty of towels and tons of dishes & cookware. This house worked out really well for our family Thanksgiving vacation. House is kid friendly. They supplied: high chairs, pack & play, stroller, crib and plenty of kid serving ware. The pool was great!! We paid extra to have it heated and it was nice and warm upon our arrival. We used it EVERYDAY! They also provided tons of stuff for the beach: chairs, toys, coolers & a wagon. Everyone enjoyed our stay!

Great location! Close to everything we needed. Home had everything we needed. Would definitely rent again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!! The house was perfect for our family!!! About a 10 minute walk to the beautiful beach!!! The pool was fabulous and we enjoyed it so much and was a added bonus to renting this property!!! It was easy to get in touch with the owners of the property as they checked on us to make sure everything was what we expected and it was nice also to be able to contact the property managers as well to see if the house was ready for us!!!

We are a family of 10 and we take a yearly trip to the beach. It was our first time to the west coast of Florida and specifically Destin. We had the good fortune to rent Secret Paradise. It was a dream come true. The size was perfect for our size family. There was plenty of space and we didn’t feel as if we were on top of each other. That pool was wonderful to have. We all enjoyed it daily. The property had every amenity we could want. It was great that we didn’t need to worry about keys. Keyless entry was so easy especially when we were doing different things. We cooked many meals at home and the grill was a plus. Kastlekeepers- specifically Kathleen was so great to deal with. She was always available and responded quickly to any questions we had. The area is lovely and the beach was beautiful. My 4 year old grandson loved being in the calm waters. We as a family loved the entire experience so much that we have already booked the house for next year. We are looking forward to our return to Destin and the new memories we will make.

This property had EVERYTHING you could possibly need from beach amenities to a crib. They even had a mini fridge in the garage to keep our beverages cold and not take space up in the fridge. There is also a dollar store within a 5 minute walk to get anything you may need! The patio is what really made our trip, that extra living space with the umbrellas and the nice pool is where we stayed! The pool was perfect for the kids it had a shallow end and then a bit deeper for adults (5 ft or so), so everyone enjoyed swimming! They started you out with enough supplies (toilet paper, laundry pods, dishwasher pods) and enough towels for 10 people! We felt the beach location was pretty crowded, so we packed up and went to the Henderson state park where it was less crowded and in my opinion an even more beautiful location. It’s a short drive away and wasn’t a huge issue! Everyone in our group enjoyed our vacation and we would highly recommend staying here because you don’t have to drag all your beach gear here, the amenities are already provided! We would definitely rebook if we choose destin on our next vacation!!
