It was a perfect place for our family and the pool topped it off!! Great Location. Hopefully we can stay again soon. Only issue was the bathrooms need some TLC. Found hair around sink and clump of dog hair under kitchen table. Since you are paying for a cleaning service after each guest visit, wanted to make sure you are getting the service you are paying. Thanks again for a memorable vacation for our family. ##### Mark J.

We are an older couple (70 and 65) and we drove down from Chicago with our two beloved dogs (Marti and MJ). It's always a bit of a gamble booking on VRBO but the second we opened the front door, we knew we had hit the jackpot! The layout was just what we wanted - a long great room running the length of the house, with very high ceilings, and at the end of the room, sliding glass doors that opened to the delightful patio, pool, and fenced-in back yard. The master bedroom and bath opened off the great room and featured the same great view. The furniture was super comfortable and the TV setup was outstanding. The location was excellent for us - we walked to the beach and to a few of the local restaurants (Camilles and the Henderson Inn) and every night we walked Marti and MJ through the quiet streets of the neighborhood. We drove to various places around Destin and thought we were very centrally located. Nancy Phinney was an excellent host and answered all of our questions very promptly. We hope we can come back again next year! ##### Kevin W.

It was very clean, comfortable, had that special “beachy” feel to it, was conveniently located to Crystal Beach, and had a perfect sized pool for the afternoons. The pictures honestly don’t do the house justice. I highly recommend this property and would definitely rent again! Loved every bit of it. ##### Adriane G.

The house was the perfect size for us and very comfortable. We lucked out and didn't have neighbors on either side of us during our visit. I enjoyed the pool, just about every day and the water temp was perfect in the low 80's. Thanks for sharing your home with us! ##### Lisa D. Stayed 7 nights in May 2017 ---
