This was our second stay at this property . The home is very welcoming and clean. Accommodated my family of 10 comfortably. Short walk to the Beautiful Beach! Something to entertain everybody of every age :) The pool & hot tub definitely a plus! Day and night. Was fine with just spending time together at the home and enjoying each other‘s company making memories with each other :) From playing in the sandbox with the grandkids, to making s’mores around the fire pit with the teenagers…. The host are super sweet! They’re extremely kind and were very helpful & generous to my family. Responded rapidly to ANY question we had. They made everything from check-in to check-out go very smoothly. Definitely recommend!! 10/10

Spring Break

We stayed here as a family of five over spring break, and it was absolutely perfect for us. The home was clean, comfortable, and offered plenty of space for everyone. The backyard was a great bonus—ideal for relaxing after the beach or enjoying quiet evenings together. The location was excellent, close to all the amenities we needed. The host was responsive and communicated with us throughout our stay as needed. We would definitely stay here again!

The owners were incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. The house was exactly what we were looking for—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained—which really made our trip special. After a day at the beach, the pool was a perfect place to unwind and relax. The location was ideal, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend staying here!

Amazing

The house was amazing! The pool and hot tub was a definite plus to come home to everyday. The access to the beach and local shopping and dining was very easy and accessible. We rented a golf cart for our stay which I would recommend for coming and going to beach especially with a large party. The host were very responsive to all inquiries and checked in on us daily. I will definetly be staying here again for sure.

Perfect Family Oasis

We booked this trip last minute, and we were so pleased with this house. Not far from the beach, but plenty to do at the house if you are wanting to stay in for a day with the family. The backyard pool setting is just what it looks like in the pictures. Plenty of room in the house, with a very comfortable feel all around. We still talk about this trip many months later

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Escapes by Dave & Shannon! The property was exactly as described—if anything, it exceeded our expectations. Everything was spotless upon arrival, and it was clear that great care goes into maintaining the home.The standout feature for us was definitely the pool and hot tub. They provided the perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Whether starting the day with a swim or ending the evening in the hot tub, it truly elevated the entire experience and made our stay feel like a luxury getaway.The house was stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable and stress-free stay. From the thoughtful selection of toiletries to the well-equipped amenities, no detail was overlooked. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after fun-filled days.We also loved the location. It was just a short, easy walk to the beach while still offering plenty of privacy and serenity. It was the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility.Dave & Shannon have created a truly special retreat. Between the immaculate property, comfortable accommodations, excellent amenities, and the incredible pool and hot tub, this was one of the best vacation rentals we've experienced. We highly recommend The Escapes and would gladly stay here again!

Perfect family rental!

The house was clean, well stocked and beautiful! It fit our family of 7, kids’ friends, and my in-laws perfectly! Dave and Shannon were responsive and made the check in/out process quick and easy, and were even generous enough to send the family Crumble cookies! The pool and hot tub were a huge hit, as were all the included pool toys/inflatables & the house was a quick 5 minute walk to the crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches! We definitely will be back to rent the “Backyard Oasis” again!

Close to the beach and private

I was really happy with the house, pool, hot tub and fire pit. I wanted to have a private place close to the beach and this was perfect. We didn’t want to have to deal with the crowd at the pool and hot tub at a condo so we booked this awesome house. Nothing like having a quiet pool and hot tub to come back to after leaving the beach. We even did s’mores one night. The home owners supplied everything so why not. Will be coming back in the future

Pool and Hot Tub Oasis

The home was wonderful. The weather was not very cooperative for hanging at the beach, but that didn’t effect our stay at all. The kids played in the pool/hot tub the entire time. The home was well stocked with the things that matter (cookware, seasonings, pool/beach towels, coffee, etc..). It is set up great for children. The host communicates clearly, and was prompt to respond to questions. We had no issues with this property. The location is excellent! We will be back.

Beautiful Family-Friendly Beach Spot!

We selected this property as it had all the amenities we wanted, and the reviews were awesome. We were thrilled to find that our experience met and exceeded our expectation. We stayed for 5 nights with two separate families - total of 8 people. The heated pool and hot tub were wonderful! The house was clean and stocked with everything we could need from towels, beach towels, beach "gear" and more. Also, we had just a few small tweaks on night one and found the hosts to be extremely responsive. They immediately sent the property manager over who corrected all tweaks. She was so kind and gave us some great insights to the area. Overall, this was our best VRBO experience, and we highly recommend to any other travelers - especially families.

Best Beach House Yet

My wife and I have stayed at several beach rentals across the southeast over the last 5 years. Everyone knows that photos can be deceiving and some times descriptions are embellished. That was NOT the case at this property. The home is well designed, nicely decorated and setup well for families. You can tell a lot of thought was put into the rental and making things most convenient for your beach trip. There were plenty of table settings, seating, towels, kitchen utensils and plenty of beach wagons, chairs, coolers and umbrellas. The pool and hot tub were also plenty large for me, my wife and our 3 kids. The beach was a short easy walk. If we go back to Destin we won't bother looking at other places, we will stay here.
