Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carrie E. 9 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Big Home, Great Neighborhood It’s challenging traveling with 14 people and giving everyone their own space, but this house was deceivingly large. It’s a three story home, the second story has three bedrooms and three baths. They’re not all attached, but it gave the illusion of everyone having their own bathroom. On the third floor there are two king bed rooms & a shared bath. The backyard was the star of the show, it was an additional living space that our group utilized most of the time. The kitchen is fully stocked, the host was very responsive & the neighborhood was quaint even though it was near EVERYTHING! The A/C worked great & we never ran out of hot water. Easy walk to the beach & overall a great stay! It wouldn’t feel like a true review if I don’t give any constructive criticism, so my only suggestion is to bring your own sheets if you’re picky about the bed. The mattresses were fine, but the sheets are basic. I would have slept better in my own sheets. Thank you Jan for a great stay! ##### Carrie E.

Took my diverse aged office staff to Destin as a thank you for their hard work. The house was wonderful. It even better than the pics. The pool and back yard was great especially on days when the little kids in our group were worn out from time at the beach. The rooms were clean and spacious. The kitchen was able to accommodate all of our needs. Great property and would def stay here again!!! ##### James B.

The location is great as the house is in a quiet neighborhood and close to beach. Used the golf cart but it had little power as it needs new batteries.

Our communication was great. When an unexpected problem with the water heater came up they were on it right away and even made one of their other properties available for showers and a hot tub while the water heater was repaired. The house was perfect for our family of 11. Would definitely consider this home again or another place hosted by Jan. ##### Mark M.

The pool was excellent, clean and we loved how the house was set up with pool toys and floats, loungers, etc. Layout of the house was nice and we had everything we needed. Jan was excellent to work with, and we appreciated her clear and thorough communication. Great location for access to the beach. We rented the golf cart and enjoyed using it to cruise the neighborhood and shuttle back and forth to the beach. Hope to be back soon! ##### Sarah M.

The owner was very quick to respond to any issues. The only complaint I have is it’s listed with a heated pool but that was an extra cost. It should be listed heated pool optional cost. Otherwise great location plenty of room. The grandkids were in the pool all day and it was very close to the beach. I would definitely rent again. ##### Patricia F.

Enjoyed the golf cart for short trips. The accommodations were comfortable. The pool was great and kept the entire family entertained. Want to thank you again, Jan, we had a great time !!

The beach is extremely close (and walkable) but would recommend renting the golf cart as it made getting to/from the beach much easier. House could probably use a little more maintenance to ensure it matches the quality shown in the pictures although there was quick response when we needed to call for more immediate maintenance needs. Pool is decent sized but not "huge." ##### Tom U.

We loved the outside area. Plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen and rest of the home were fully stocked with everything we needed. The beach was just a short walk away and we were very close to everything ...shopping, groceries, etc. The owner, Jan, was amazing and by far the most proactive host I've ever encountered. She was super helpful and the house was very organized. Another guest who also owns house rentals commented on how impressed he was at her local information & home book / binder. She made sure that we did not have a single question upon arrival and she checked in periodically while we were staying there which was nice. We will definitely recommend this rental to others. Thank you Jan for making our stay a great one! ##### Jamie L.

Rooms were spacious. Kitchen was a great meeting place and the wrap around porch was lovely! The winding staircase to 3rd floor was tricky but we managed. The pool was just the perfect size with plenty of chairs. My only concern was getting into the pool. For safety reasons, I wish there would have been a railing as we had elders with us. I would definitely stay here again. The location is perfect. Who can complain about 1 block to the beach. It was a fabulous house! ##### Jacqueline C. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Skye J. 5 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Beach House The house was perfect for our large extended family. It has the charm you want in a vacation beach house with a wrap-around porch, high ceilings, large windows, and spiral stairs. The master bedroom and the two bedrooms on the third floor each have their own balconies. These were great for morning coffee or reading quietly. These private spaces made the house perfect for both gathering with everyone or finding space for yourself. Everything was clean and just as advertised. The location was a HUGE plus for us. Easily walk to Starbucks and shopping as well as the beach. We used the golf cart a lot and appreciated having that option. Having the pool on the cooler days (we went in March when the weather can still be cold) was also great. Jan was super helpful and responsive to our questions--everything you hope for from a property manager. ##### Skye J. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Isela D. 17 Apr 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Convenient location Location was great not too far from the ocean and white sandy beaches and it does sleep a lot of people. I rated the add a 3 because it sounds like the pool comes heated but it is an additional 350.00 to have the pool heated. Like I said it does sleep a lot of people but the stair situation is narrow spiral staircase leading to the two bedrooms upstairs. I think that it is really hard to tell from photos what you are getting. We have stayed in many VRBOs throughout the years and sometimes I am impressed and other times disappointed that I did not do enough research before booking. Neighbors were great and overall it was a quiet street. Everyone runs their business/rentals differently and that’s ok and now I know the questions and clarification to get before booking. ##### Isela D. Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 Apr 2017 #### Absolutely Wonderful!!! We absolutely loved our stay at Southern Charm!!! The property was very clean and well kept. Pool was very nice and we were very happy that we had it heated, as it was very cool in the evenings. The property manager was very helpful. Unfortunately our golf cart had a malfunction and we only had it for a few days but Jessica did everything she could to get it fixed, and we really appreciated her efforts!! The only other issue was that the pool light had burnt out and the pool service company was not able to get that fixed before we left. However, the effort was put in to try to get it fixed before we left. This house is only about 2 blocks from the beach and is on a very quiet street. We loved these two facts!!! I recommend this property for anyone wanting to spend their vacation in the Destin area. We absolutely hated to leave!!!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### chelsea s. 28 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location & Nice host! Overall our family had a great time at this house. It was a great location for walking to the beach. There weren't a ton of restaurants walking distance but still a few. We paid the extra for the golf cart and heated pool. The pool was totally worth it. We did use the golf cart for hauling pool toys / chairs to the beach some days as well. The house really suited our needs with the amount of bedrooms. The bathrooms (minus the master) were small but functional. I am glad we had mirrors in the upstairs room so we could get ready in there to free up a shower. Everyone was happy with the bed comfort. Overall it was a clean house but it could for sure use a deep cleaning. The carpets could use a good vacuuming & the landscaping was all overgrown making it to where we could only put the pool chairs in certain spots around the pool. Those are minor details though and I would still recommend staying here. Jan was very nice, informative of the area and fast to respond when I needed her for small things during our stay. ##### chelsea s. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2021
