I have stayed in Destin countless times and hands down this is my favorite spot ! For sure I’d love to come back again and again! We can walk to beach, neighborhood pickleball courts and 2 pools to choose from! The house was amazing and had everything we needed and Darlene is such a gracious hostess and went above and beyond!

The house was extremely clean and very organized. It had plenty of beach towels, cooking supplies and things we could take to the beach. The gorilla cart definitely helps with carrying everything to the beach. The golf cart that goes up and down the neighborhood also definitely helps out with getting to the beach. Plenty of space for everyone in the house. Darlene was always quick to respond and very helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

My only regret is not staying longer!! The property was nestled on the cutest cul-de-sac providing safety and privacy if you have little kids which we loved. Our extended family had plenty of space in the well maintained and updated property. The bathrooms were clean with beautiful fixtures and all the necessities. The kitchen was well stocked as well with all the modern amenities (the griddle was perfect for morning pancakes). Location was perfect! Close to the pool and a short scenic walk to the beach. Darlene was responsive and I loved the check in manual, literally has all the info you need!

Beautiful home. Very well furnished kitchen, everything labeled so it was well organized. Fun shuffleboard table in the house, but no sand available so couldn’t use it. Description says sleeps 10…that is the maximum allowed, not just a suggestion. Easy walk to beach or pool. Beach toys and wagon available for use which is a very nice benefit to staying here. Would stay here again if we return to Destin.

Our house provides driveway parking for up to 3 vehicles (golf carts count as one vehicle). No street parking is available but we have an overflow lot around the corner (first come/first serve). TRAVEL TIP: For a quick trip to the store, there is a Dollar General within walking distance. Walk out the north entrance and go right, then follow the short sidewalk along Hwy 98. Close enough to send your teenager!
