This place is amazing! Excellent location, close to everything! The house is very clean, and the host is great! Quick to respond, and very helpful! They let us check in early, and check out was a breeze!! Highly recommend!
The house was really nice, clean, and spacious. It is honestly perfect for the 8 people we had! Super close to the beach and was close to tons of shopping and restaurants. My family and I enjoyed the heated pool the most, I’d say! The hosts are also really nice and hospitable! Very welcoming and they were able to answer every question we had. Hopefully we will able to book with them again in the future. Highly recommend!
We had an amazing stay! The host was very communitive and responded quickly to my messages. The house is very nice and clean. It is also in a perfect location.
My husband and I stayed with a group of our friends and had a wonderful time! The hosts were very responsive and helpful, and the property was perfect. Location was great to go to the beach every day, especially with the golf cart. Would definitely stay again!
Great property with an excellent location. We had six adults and there was plenty of room for all. The outside areas, pool, porch, etc. were very nice. Property Manager was reachable and provide us with restaurant ideas.
The owner was very accommodating and the property was fantastic. We did not really have a sunny day the entire week but the pool and the house saved our trip.
We spent a great week in Destin. The home was about three blocks to the beach - easy walking distance. In the middle of everything, but you didn’t feel crowded. We plan to return!
My family and I stayed here because i was getting married in Fort Walton Beach, and this house was just what we needed.The rooms were cozy, the beds were comfortable, and the house was very conveniently located right down the street from the beach and so many stores. Mike was warm and welcoming, he texted and called before we checked in to make sure we were taken care of. Any questions I had during our stay, I texted him and he replied quickly and was very helpful. The backyard space is amazing, the pool was a nice little luxury to go swimming at any hour of the day. We were only 7 people staying here, and the cost was more than reasonable for what we received.
Excellent experience all around. Short walk to beach if you don’t want to rent a golf cart.
House had everything to include beach chairs, beach canopy, pack and play.
Second time we stayed there and enjoyed it both times.
Highly recommend.
This is a great property with a great location, about two blocks from beach. Michael is a great host, very friendly and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend this property to others. Loved the pool as well. Randomly meet someone who had previously sounded at this property and she highly recommended this property as well.
We had a great vacation at Livin' the Dream!
We had three kids under 7 and seven adults and we fit wonderfully in the house. The kitchen was very well equipped, and everyone was very comfortable in their own bedrooms. We enjoyed the pool every day and it was a quick walk or golf cart ride to the beach.
Mike and Leiann are great hosts and made it very accommodating to enjoy our vacation in Destin.
We loved the property and location. Everything was clean and Michael was very good with communication. The pool needed a minor repair the day we arrived, but he was great with keeping us informed and getting it taken care of quickly while we were out. Would stay here again!
Everything and more than described. Of all the trips we have taken over the years, this property was the cleanest and most organized. Mike was fantastic in communicating with us and made us feel at home. Thank you!
There is a reason this house is 5 ⭐️ because it is!!! Great Host, Great House, and Great Location! The house had everything you need to enjoy a great vacation with family and friends. We will be back!
Such a great stay for our family of 10. Fully stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, super comfortable beds. The golf cart is 100% worth it for convenience, the beach isn’t FAR but with tents, coolers, etc the golf cart made things much easier. So nice to spend the day at the beach and be able to spend the evening after dinner in the pool. Mike is a great and courteous host. We will be visiting again!
