There are so shops, restaurants and grocery stores within a short drive. Not to mention the beautiful sandy beach was less than a 10 minute walk away. The property manager, Louise, was incredibly easy to communicate with and very attentive to any and all needs. No detail was missed with this property and we can’t wait to come back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Off The Clock in Destin. The house was immaculate upon arrival. You can tell the owners thought of every detail! It is cozy and comfortable. We also loved having the private pool and relaxing backyard. The house was truly a home away from home; it had every kitchen item you could need. Our three girls enjoyed the bunk beds and TV in their own room. It is also conveniently located within walking distance to the beach as well as several great restaurants. We really appreciated Louise (property manager) checking in upon our arrival, giving us recommendations and being incredibly responsive when we had questions. Thanks for an incredible family vacation. We will be making and annual trip to Off The Clock! ##### Bryan M.

Fantastic place to unwind and relax. My family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our stay there over the 4th of July week. The home was ideal to entertain and host dinners for extended family who were also in from out of town. Pristine place and completely turn-key. There’s nothing the host hasn’t thought of to ensure an excellent experience for anyone who stays there. They truly care about their guests. The backyard and pool was beautiful, and 1 block easy access to a beautiful beach and crystal clear waters with chair and umbrella service built in was so convenient. There’s even food and drink service right on the beach from the local hotel. Truly was a home away from home, and we would reserve again in a heartbeat. Thank you again to our hosts for making our trip one to remember. ##### Kirsten M. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Carl E. 3 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Not what we expected Review of “Off the Clock”Not What I ExpectedAfter a stressful period that landed me in the hospital in late December, it was recommended I take some time off. I decided to book two weeks at “Off the Clock” through VRBO, bringing along my wife and son for what we hoped would be a relaxing getaway. Unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations in several ways.First ImpressionsThe property was difficult to recognize upon arrival because it looked noticeably different from the photos on VRBO. For instance, the photos depicted a white privacy fence separating the property from the neighboring yard. In reality, no such fence exists, and the neighbors parked right up to the edge of the property, creating a less secluded feel.Smoke Alarms: The Biggest ChallengeOur first evening was far from peaceful. My wife made toast, and the overly sensitive fire alarm system was triggered, setting off multiple alarms and a loud, repetitive voice declaring, “Fire!” This required us to open all three doors to create enough airflow to stop the alarms—a routine we would repeat many times during our stay.The sensitivity of the alarms rendered the gas stove nearly unusable. Even with the downdraft system (as instructed by the owner), cooking anything, from frying fish to baking pizza, would set off the alarms. Rain made grilling outside impossible, and when the grill was eventually tested, it didn’t work-Many issues they say they are fixing we will see ##### Carl E.

We treated our high school grads to a trip to Destin, and this beach house was absolutely perfect! The moment we walked in, we were blown away—the space was warm, beautifully decorated, and incredibly inviting. Honestly, it was so comfortable that we almost didn’t want to leave to explore!But when we did, the beach was just steps away—so close that we could easily walk back and forth throughout the day. Morning coffee on the balcony or afternoons in the gorgeous pool in the back yard relaxing—it was everything we hoped for and more. And the customer service was stellar! If you’re even thinking about booking, do it. You won’t regret it. ##### Alisha M.

The house felt like home. Very well laid out and the details really made that feeling possible. Extremely clean, very spacious, the decor was thoughtful and comfortable. The kitchen was especially nice. It’s not easy to feed 3 hungry kiddos for multiple meals, but the open kitchen and breakfast bar was the perfect platform for many meals and memories with our kids before they ran back to jump in the pool. We sat down for a few family meals at the beautiful kitchen table as well. The proximity and location on the beach was perfect. The short walk was easy and a fun little adventure for the us and the kids to explore and talk, while also allowing them to help pull the wagon and cooler that was provided (much appreciated!) ;) Truly an amazing stay for us, best property we’ve visited in our few years of starting to travel with our little fam. We’ll definitely return! Thank you to the Cohen’s for sharing your house with us. ##### Evan E.

Its beautifully decorated. Cozy and well stocked inside and out! Very short walk to the beach and the pool was so relaxing. The lights and fire table out back were the perfect end to a fabulous day at the beach!! We will definitely be renting again! ##### Clay D.

Location was prime. Amenities were spot on. And the host was on top of their property and communicating with me. Can’t say enough good about it all ##### Bronson P.

This is our 3rd year in a row visiting the Crystal Beach area. This home is charming, exceptionally clean and has everything you could think of to make your stay a dream. We loved the heated pool, spacious back yard and how near you are to the white sandy beach. We will definitely look to stay at “Off the Clock” again next year. Till then. ##### Colette I.

Very clean and well appointed. The property manager was highly responsive and helpful. This was our first time in Destin and enjoyed the stay. ##### Michael A.

The property manager was wonderful and responded quickly with any questions that we had. The house is beautiful and well-outfitted and it was the perfect size for the six of us. We loved having our own pool and the backyard had a very fun atmosphere, and we also enjoyed just being a block away from the beach! We used the reserved beach chairs every day we were there. We will definitely stay there again when we are back in the area. ##### Jennifer B.

So many reasons that made our experience amazing: 1) the hosts are responsive, thoughtful and make sure everything is just right, 2) the house was new, clean, modern luxuries, outdoor heaven, absolutely everything we needed and 3) the location is literally a 1/2 block from gorgeous Crystal Beach access. Add all these up and you have a perfect week in Destin. Thank you Louise for your kindness. We’ll be back!! ##### Julie Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason M. 27 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Destin House with Great Location We absolutely loved our stay! The house was beachy and modern with tasteful decor. It is adorable. We greatly appreciated the relaxing covered porches, large televisions, fluffy towels, and the spacious master bath. The driftwood floors were gorgeous, clean, and easy to swiffer for sand. We really enjoyed night swims in the heated saltwater pool complete with string lights and firepit warmth. And, to top it all off, we loved the proximity to the beach and inlcuded beach wagon and chair/umbrella set-up. We will definitely return! ##### Jason M.

We wanted a place with more room and close to the beach with a pool and "off the clock" did not disappoint. It felt like we were at a hotel with the linens and towels and those beds were beyond comfy! The kids loved the heated pool and I loved the back yard. We cooked out and went for night swims often, and the firepit made a great place to sit and warm up at night. The place had it all, location, amenities, superb hosts (thank you for the welcome basket by the way!) and great layout of all the rooms. We had a perfect week and wanted to thank you for such a lovely home for us to stay in. ##### Paul M. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2023
