We stayed at this property for a week in early November… The location is great! Just steps out the back door is the white sand beach that Destin is famous for. Communication with the management company was great and easy. However, the property manager himself was difficult to work with. We had several issues with the house, which the property management company took care of promptly, which was great! The house is well worn either from VRBO guests or just time. Prior to coming I had called the management company and asked about all the issues that were revealed in prior reviews on Vrbo. They assured me that almost all of them had been taken care of, except the ovens. The ovens were very slow to heat and uneven cooking. They have new ones on order, and those will be installed at some point in the future… As others noted, the burners on the stove don’t work very well either. We had a private chef come in and cook one evening, and he had to use all of the flawed equipment. But he was a pro, And made it work well! I reached out to the management company twice before arriving asking if there was a pack and play available and a high chair. They were never able to answer me. Upon arriving, we found to pack and plays, and a highchair, dusty and in rough condition in the garage. This property boasts of six parking spaces… We had three SUVs parked in the driveway and it was very hard to get in and out. The two garage spaces in the property do have quite a bit of junk in them and it is a very tight squeeze for something like a suburban to fit in there, so if you are driving a large vehicle, do not plan on parking in the garage. Also, the pictures of the pool are a little deceiving, it is much smaller than the pictures make it look like. I will say that we had the pool heated while we were there and the pool heat works very well! We have been at other properties where the pool heat just barely functions. So this was a pleasant surprise to have a good pool heat for the kids to jump in on the cooler days especially . We had ages 60 down to 18 months and there was plenty of room in the house for everyone. It is good to note that the bedroom that is above the garage is not accessible directly through the house. You have to go outside. But it is like its own little apartment with a kitchenette, table, bathroom, and bedroom. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves particularly because of the great location of this house! Because of the location one can overlook the flaws!
