We had a wonderful stay! The house was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was excellent—friendly, responsive, and made everything easy from check-in to check-out. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this vacation rental.
Great property and location. The kitchen could use more utensils and baking sheets-for a house that sleeps that many people there is a need for more items. Our family had a very relaxing stay-quiet neighborhood and close to all amenities.
Loves it, didn’t want to leave! Every room has a bathroom and it was perfect for our big group. Only thing… beach is prob more like 10 or 15 minute walk.
Plenty of room for everyone and so great that each room has its own bathroom! The golf cart is a definite plus as it’s a few blocks to the beach. Keep in mind, no tents or canopies are allowed on the private beach. You have to drive to the public areas if you have little ones that need extra shade.
This property was perfect for our family. It slept myself and my wife, our 5 children and their significant others my dad and his wife, my grandson on a provided trundle, 2 of our close friends, and our Reverend.
It had everything we needed. And the golf cart was super handy shuttling everyone around as parking for vehicles in that area at the back and restaurants can be a challenge. The pool was awesome for lazy days of just hanging out. I would highly recommend this property to anyone considering a trip fo Destin
Loved this property’s location. The house is perfect for a large family/ group of friends. Having a golf cart included is a plus! We requested a few baking sheets & a large pot for cooking, management was quick to respond & bring those items to us! They were really nice to deal with. The only thing I would like to see is the door to the washer & dryer in the hallway needs to be removed. It stays open & it is interferes with the bedroom door on the right as you walk in.
The house was so nice and the perfect place for me and my family to come together and show our grandma the beach for the first time. The space worked well for our large group, the house was beautiful, communication and process was great. We would love to book here again.
This house is very nice and spacious. The heated pool was great to have! It’s a couple blocks from the beach and has its own beach access. We would walk to the beach.
We had a wonderful time during our stay!
We absolutely loved staying there! We have a large family, ages 1-61 and it was perfect for us. The private pool was a huge hit, the kitchen was very well stocked including a griddle and crockpot, a large table to seat our family plus large sitting area to accommodate all of us. The golf cart was very nice for transporting our stuff to the beach. We would definitely come back!
We have a summer family tradition which is to rent a house in Florida so we can enjoy each other's company. The Barnacle was a Great spacious home that allowed us to do that this year. Management was easily accessible if needed and the location from the beach was made so much easier with the golf cart provided.
House was nice had bedrooms and bathrooms for all! Further to the beach than we thought from listing. And the area before the gated community was really run down!
We love the Barnacle! This was our second year staying in this neighborhood and have already booked again for 2023. We have a large family and the Barnacle was perfect for 18 of us. Property manager was quick to respond and handle the minor issues instantly. Like this group of owners and plan to continue staying in their houses during Family vacation. We also stayed in Lazy Magnolia in 2021… great house also with a bit bigger pool…
This home had plenty of space for our large family vacation. The house was well equipped to handle cooking multiple meals throughout the day. My only (minor) complaint is the pool is much smaller than it appears in the pictures. When we booked last September the dimensions were not part of the listing - by no means was it a major issue during the trip. Overall I would definitely recommend this house and would stay here again!
