Very large kitchen and living room which worked wonderfully for the 14 of us. The problem was how the unit is stocked. Bring toilet paper, trash bags and dish soap. There is an amazing amount of dishes, pots, pans, etc. so that was wonderful. Beds comfy. Of note, the top bunk bed has 80 pound limit so do not plan on putting an adult on that. ##### Lori An G. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### elisabeth c. 30 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful beachside home The beach house was located in a quiet, clean, and secure gated neighborhood, nestled right along the beachside. The peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The community pool was just steps from the front door, ideal for a quick dip in the morning or a relaxing swim in the evening. Beach access was only a short stroll away, down a charming cobblestone street that added to the neighborhood’s coastal charm.The house itself was beautifully maintained and tastefully decorated, with a welcoming, beachy vibe that made us feel right at home the moment we walked in. It was well-stocked with everything we needed—from kitchen essentials to bath towels—making it easy to settle in and start enjoying our vacation right away. Whether we were lounging on the balcony with a morning coffee or watching the sunset over the waves, every moment felt relaxing and special. ##### elisabeth c. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sherry H. 16 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Destin family trip Great property to sleep several couples. The suite with 2 beds was amazing for our in laws who didn’t always want to climb the stairs. No garage, but we didn’t miss it at all. Huge kitchen and great seating in the family area n the second floor. The 3 rd floor suite was gorgeous too! We had 6 adults and a child but and we did not use all the sleeping space. This was right across from the main pool and a short walk to the beach. Very peaceful trip! ##### Sherry H.
