Wonderful stay!

This townhouse was a great find for my family (including our dog!). It was very clean, well-stocked with essentials, beautifully updated inside, and had easy access to the beach. The small, fenced area was great for our dog, but 2 things to note: sand only (no grass) and access through master bedroom only. The area felt safe and had a nice sidewalk for walking. It was very close to the restaurants, stores, etc. We definitely want to stay here again! The water/beach in Destin is absolutely gorgeous!!

This house was amazing in so many ways! Easy 10 minute walk to the beach, pet friendly (our pup LOVED the balcony’s), quiet neighborhood, and a 10 minute drive to get to the heart of Destin! We loved our stay and look forward to booking this same home next year!

We had a great stay at this vacation house in Destin! The home was very clean, comfortable, and had plenty of space for our family. The location was perfect—close to the beach, restaurants, and shops, but still quiet and relaxing.The kids especially loved having room to play, and we enjoyed sitting out on the patio in the evenings. Everything we needed was provided, which made our trip easy and stress-free.The host was very friendly and responsive, making check-in and check-out simple. We truly enjoyed our vacation here and would love to come back on our next visit to Destin!

Beach Delight

The property was nice and in a good location. It is a very short walk to the beach. It is close to daytime activities as well as nightlife. We had a great time and are already talking about coming back. We would love to stay here again.

A wonderful Destin-ation

This townhome worked well for us. It was about a 5 minute walk to the beach entrance. It appears you could walk through the dunes however it has built up and there are gates. Some wear and tear on the master for example: closet doors falling off and the bed sunk in in the middle because it appeared to have the middle support leg bent. We still slept ok. I found a couple hairs on the linens but I bring my own for those reasons and used them for the bathroom floor. We enjoyed our overall stay and would potentially rebook.

Pleasant Stay

We spent the Thanksgiving week at this townhouse. The owner was very kind and accommodating. The place was ready early and we liked the layout of the house a lot. It was only a 2min walk to the beach, a very quiet and comfortable place. The location was also very convenient, close to many nice restaurants, to the Harbor, and to many attractions as the dolphin boat tours, and a 10min drive to the Aquarium. We also drove to Rosemary beach for lunch, only 40min away. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the place.

Simply Perfect

My family and I chose this property for our vacation due to it's size, location and class and I must say that I was perfect. Stephen has done a great job remodeling the whole rental. And the cleaning crew did an amazing job apparently. Everything about this whole trip was perfect. Thank you for a great experience.

Destin Beach House

Home was clean, spacious, and fully stocked. Walk out the front door directly through the dunes to a protected Beach (great for smaller kids with little to no waves) just around the corner from the gulf with traditional waves. Minutes from all the action and all the stores/restaurants/attractions you could want. The owner was quick to respond and very easy to get along with and accommodating. We had 2 couples and 1 child with plenty of room. Hopefully it is available when we decide to enjoy Destin again.
