Great location with easy access to the beach, pool, and local shopping. The cottage was very spacious, had good storage, and accommodated our family well.
House was clean. We enjoyed the pool area. Loved the private beach. It is across the street from property but this wasn't a problem. Several restaurants within walking distance.
Loved this property. Rented Wednesday-Monday. We were in town for my sister-in-law’s beach wedding that occurred on Saturday. My mother and father in law and other sister in law along with her husband and two teens stayed with my husband and I. Perfect amount of space for all of us. The location was amazing! Quick walk across the street to the beach, walking distance to several restaurants and easy drive for groceries. Highly recommend this rental property.
Property was as described, great location. Will definitely be booking again. Property manager has a lot of good information in the welcome binder for those that have not been or do not frequent the area.
This was one of the best stays we’ve had. Everything was clean, well maintained and as described in the listing. No worries, no need to contact anyone for repairs or any other problems. Thank you for a great vacation.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Perfect location, could use some new furnishings and updates.
The location was perfect however the condo needed some TLC and new furnishings. The pictures online are different on the inside than what it actually was when we arrived.
Our family had so much fun staying in this sweet house that is a VERY short walk to one of our favorite beaches. It’s exactly as described and as it appears in the pictures—super cute and comfy. We had plenty of room to spread out and to enjoy some family time together. Communication with management was phenomenal. Quick, friendly responses to all our questions. Highly recommend!
Great location and short walk to the private beach! House provided great amenities, especially the cookware (EVERYTHING we needed and excellent brand), better than usual. We will definitely stay again!
We had a great time!! The house was exactly as advertised. Location to the pool and beach were great. Easy access to everything in the Destin area.

We really enjoyed staying at this property. The location was perfect with only a 4 or 5 minute walk to the beach. The neighborhood was quiet and clean with a nice area for walking our dogs.
