It was perfect for a family. Busy at Destin Beach all day. Nice and quiet in the evening at Miramar Beach. House was clean and the outdoor set up with pool is nicer than the pictures suggest.

Wonderful place to stay. Had all kitchen essentials. Pool was nice and stocked with kid toys. Large enough for 2 families. Tram to and from beach made it easy to get to beach. Would definitely return.
My family and I absolutely loved this property. Beautiful home in a great community; nicely furnished, and close the beach. The pool was great and we made good use of the patio/grill area. Looking forward to staying here on future trips.

This place was perfect for our family vacation! The outdoor area could have used a power wash but that’s about it. It was very nice and spacious and such a good experience
The house was well stocked, comfortable, and easy access to the beach! Everything we could need was onsite and made for an easy careful free week for our family of 5! The on-site staff and My Vacay Haven was incredibly responsive and helpful at every turn. We are so so thankful and pleased with our stay!!Only downside, we were not able to access the resort amenities. The property advertises gym access for a fee, this was inaccurate.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It's beautifully decorated and the living areas and bedrooms were perfect for our family. It's located in close proximity to great restaurants and shopping. We will definitely see if it's available the next time we plan to get away. Thanks so much for for the perfect home away from home.
My family really enjoyed our stay. The house was better than the pictures and the pool was perfect for our family.
Just a side note the room that has the 2 queen beds are actually full size beds.

It was a perfect spot for a family vacation, we enjoyed our stay.
This is a wonderful place! They have thought of everything. Lots of beds, clean, large kitchen table, cooking utensils, beautiful and practical. Having the pool is great for young families. It is perfect! Had a little algae when we arrived and they came right away and took care of it! We loved it and would highly recommend! Also, we have stayed at Tops’l many times through the years. Beautiful beach and very nice people. Lots to do right there for kids too!
Security was kinda strange and kinda borderline annoying but we stayed busy. Had a few family members including a 72yr old fall out on swim deck. Reccomend powerwashing that area. Overall we were happy with the house.
Hands down this was one of the best Vrbo rentals I've ever stayed in. The house was very spacious and met all of our needs with the exception of the foul odor (coming from the garbage disposal) throughout the house, whenever we first arrived. The screened in pool was awesome! Being able to swim at night and early in the morning was everything to us! We felt very safe in the community and everyone was pleasant and friendly! All of our needs were just a text or call away! Great customer service! We loved how they even came out and cleaned the grill for us! My only recommendation would be that the cost of the pool warming to be included whenever you book it... I definitely would recommend this stay to anyone! We're definitely coming back! We enjoyed your property!

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in, communication
house was great management company was terrible!
They did not have the pool heated even though we paid extra for this service. Constantly had trouble communicating with the management company. They over all have terrible customer service. I would recommend staying anywhere not managed by this group! It is a shame such a great property is represented by these people.
This is our second stay at this vacation home because we love everything about it. The only issue we ran into this time around was the dryer. Maintenance came out the next day to repair but we was told that the dryer needed to be replaced. It was kind of an inconvenience because we had clothes and towels that we usually wash and dry during our stay. With no clean towels in the home we had to go to the local walmart to purchase extra towels to bath on the 2nd night.
Pam in guest relations came out and picked up the dirty towels on the 3rd night and provided us with clean ones. She was very very helpful for the entire stay after the 1st call. Thanks so much again for everything Ms Pam!! The dryer issue definitely won’t stop us from booking this home again.
The house was beautiful and close to everything. I would have easily given it 5 stars. I have to take away 2 stars.
These stars were taken away due to the very high cleaning fee and the following issues:
1 star because the patio furniture was disgusting. Green algae and black mold on every cushion.
1 star because for the high cleaning fee, don't ask me to do the dishes and take out the trash. I should not have to clean anything for such a high cleaning fee. That is ridiculous.
