Our family always visits the Destin area every year with two other families. We’ve stayed in Ft. Walton, Destin, Miramar, and have rented a house on the bay side. If you like the beaches of 30A, this is a newer house with a cute surrounding neighborhood. We were able to walk down to the beach access in 6 minutes, but maybe it was just that day, but there was fine green seaweed in the beach. That didn’t stop people from going in and we’ve swam at other beaches with this seaweed, but that day we decided to drive to Henderson State park near Destin instead. So odd that you can drive 25 minutes down the coast and get a totally different beach. No seaweed there! We enjoyed walking to Blue Mountain Creamery a few times and ate at Redfish Grill one night. There are other restaurants nearby, but Redfish was a quick walk and had friendly staff. (I cannot say that about the staff at Blue Mabel though). When we all were in the house, we enjoyed the spacious bedrooms and the kitchen. We used the outdoor grill a couple of times. The only thing that may need some attention is the couch. It is white and looked like it could use a little spot cleaning. Also when we opened up the sofa bed, there were popcorn pieces in it. No big deal, we threw the bedsheet in the washer before having the kids sleep on it. Overall we enjoyed our stay at this nicely decorated home.
