We had an amazing time at this property! It was a perfect spot for a group of 20 celebrating a bachelorette. The house was clean, spacious and had everything we needed! A great location, close to all the fun spots and a super short walk to the beautiful beach! Would definitely stay again
We stayed a couple houses down earlier this year & just had to stay in the same area again! The walk to the beach is so close & convenient with littles. Having the outdoor pool/spa was a bonus. The outdoor kitchen was perfect for cooking seafood!! Plenty of room for all of us. The only thing that could have been better was the pool heat. We immediately contacted the host knowing it wasn’t heating right. They had a couple of different people out & it was correct after a couple of days. Otherwise everything was great!!
Beautiful property super close to the beach entry!
11 of us came to spend nurses week in Destin! The house was beautiful and so close to the private beach entry. The management company was so responsive for any needs we had. Great communication. We loved all the balcony’s and the pool/hot tub area was great. Big open kitchen/living room area for meals and socializing. We had a great time at this property!
We have been coming to this subdivision for many years. We love the location & private beach! The house is large enough to accommodate our family with a private restroom for each. With plenty of family area to sit & catch up. The group wants to return next year for the same week!
Everyone couple had their own room and bathroom. If you get the pool heated, make sure they turn the heat on 2 days prior to your arrival.
Excellent communication with the host.
My family and I had an amazing stay at this property! The location was AMAZING!! Close to everything and literally across from the beach. It would have been even better if the weather had been sunny! But we made the best of it. I think there was a little confusion on the sleeper sofas as we didn’t find one of them in the home however there were still plenty of beds for everyone to sleep comfortably! Communication with the host was top tier! I’d certainly stay here again and recommend it to others staying in the area!
This beach house was beautiful, exactly as listed! The location was perfect, we never drove more than 10 minutes to get anywhere and the beach was literally a few steps away! There was 10 of us and we all slept comfortably, each couple having a room to themselves! The only con was the Wi-Fi, my daughter didn’t get to watch her favorite YouTube channel each morning. Other than that, this house was perfection!
The house was nice. I think when you list that you have a hot tub you should really emphasize that you must pay separately to have it heated. Not in some fine print. The swimming pool was littered with flowers from a tree the first day and was cleaned out after the second day Other than the small snake found on the first floor .. it was a good stay
We had 3 families- 3 couples and 7 kids. There was ample room for everyone. The beach was a very short walk across the private community street. When the kids were tired of the beach, they swam at the pool and played tons of air hockey at the house. We went to the nearby water park one day. There were numerous other nearby attractions that we considered visiting but everyone had so much fun at the house, we spent most of the time there. Property management promptly sent assistance when we had a little trouble figuring out the elevator (it came in handy for luggage and groceries) and were quick to handle a wasp nest on the balcony. Overall, it was a really great vacation.
Check in was easy. The kitchen was stocked wonderfully beyond our expectations. We would highly recommend this vacation house. Check out was also easy.
We had an amazing time and our kids loved the house. The house was perfect for the amount of people our family has. Thank you for making our stay wonderful.
Our group of 11 adults thoroughly enjoyed our time in Destin at this property. The home had nearly everything you could desire, and was well appointed. A short walk to the beach allowed for casual strolls and gorgeous views of the sunsets.
I look forward to returning some day.
This was a great house to stay at and was very close to the beach. The communication with Compass resorts was amazing. They were quick to jump on any issues, or answer any questions we had. They took care of any of the headaches on a vacation. Would highly recommend.
