The house is beautiful and clean. Beds are comfortable, bathrooms for everyone, heat in the pool was worth the heating cost, bikes and cart were wonderful for getting around. We did wish that some basics were provided, such as extra trash bags, dishwashing soap, laundry soap, enough pool towels for all, and extra blankets- would be willing to pay for these rather than having to go buy. Would absolutely pick this house again for a large group.

A Perfect Retreat for our Work Family

The home is lovely and just a couple blocks from the beach. We spent a lot of time at the pool which was a great size for our party of 22. The rooms were all nice and clean, and the kitchen was fantastic. If you are planning on doing a lot of cooking, I would bring your needed pots/pans/serving platters as it is very limited as to what is provided. And don't forget your seasonings, too. :) The home does have a central vacuum system and broom - be sure to have them show you where those items are when you have your initial tour (we had to search around for them). The home could use a good thorough mopping as anyone who walked barefoot would end up with extremely dirty feet. But if you wear house shoes, it's all good. You'll also want to bring trash bags. We had to reach out to the management company several times, but they were very responsive. The elevator got stuck once, and was promptly fixed. We smelled gas on the side of the house and they came out to check on that. There are 2 washers/dryers, and we did have on-going problems with the dryers - so I would be weary if you are planning on doing laundry. Overall, a great stay and we would come here again.

Amazing for large families

The house was huge and meticulously maintained. Every detail was thought out and we felt right at home the minute we stepped inside. We had an issue with the 3rd floor AC not working but maintenance was there within the hour to remedy it. Talk about service! We are already planning our next stay here.

Beautiful home and great location

The home was very spacious and had plenty of space for our 3 families that includes 10 children. Heated pool and outdoor space was one of the best parts of the home. Location is very close to beach and golf cart access was a plus. Communication with property manager and any questions or issues was dealt with immediately. Highly recommend.

We rented 53 and 55 Sunfish. Our group had a great time and the set up was perfect. We had a couple small issues come up during our stay but I have to say that the concierge response was almost immediate. I would definitely rent from them again and recommend these house to large groups. Everything in the houses from beds, pillows, furniture and even kitchenware made you feel comfortable like at home. Absolutely great!

Huge house for multiple families

Great location and easy walk to the beach. Beach area for the house is not crowded at all. The 2 golf carts were a plus. The outside pool area was big and accommodated 17 of us! Sliding glass door leading to the pool is still not repaired which makes the powder room off the pool not useable since that is the only exit/entry to the house from the pool. Very receptive to any issues we called about.

Holiday Haven

My extended family from all over gathered in Destin for the winter holidays at this massive property. It was a perfect location to host us all, give us the space we needed to be together and the privacy of our own quarters, too. We loved the location, the convenience of the bikes and golf carts to explore, and the heated pool. The immense kitchen was perfect for many helping hands and there are plenty of cookware and serving utensils to delight any group looking to serve a large family. The house needs a deep cleaning after each stay because we did endure one too many beach friendly Palmetto roaches on the second and first floors. I’d hope to return one day and do recommend it.

GREAT STAY, BUT !!!

We had a great stay because of space,However when entering the property the first thing you see is a pool table in much need of repairs,you can’t see this in the pics,Some plumbing issues as well,the elevator stalled a couple of times,But when giving them a text they sent someone out immediately,What a very nice guy, I also DON’T like that you spend so much money but can’t physically speak anyone personally, I left something behind and tried to make contact but to no avail,Now that they got the funds no response.

This house provided the perfect vacation getaway for my group of 24 with 13 adults and 11 kids. We had a blast and there was something for everybody to do. The bikes that came with the house were always something the older kids enjoyed. Although, the bikes are adult bikes so you’d have to be at least 5’1 to ride them. There are so many local attractions and fun things to do like the go kart track, and Big Kahunas Waterpark. Any minor things that were not fully functioning, like a lock on the door, were almost immediately fixed by 360 Blue, all we had to do was call. Overall, our group had a blast and we are definitely looking to come back to this area for our next vacation. Destin gave us the best vacation experience we’ve had.☺️
