House was great and in a great location with a short walk to the beach and close access to an ice cream shop beach store and restaurants.

This was our first visit to Destin and even though I had great communication with the managing company prior to the visit, I just hoped that the property would meet the needs of a group of 19. It went above and beyond. Great location; very clean; beautiful kitchen; the elevator was a lifesaver (we had older adults w/ bad knees/backs) and very near the beach. The view from the top balcony and the kitchen was breathtaking. The street in front was a little busy but that just means that you are close to everything. There is literally a souvenir shop a few steps away; ice cream is only a few steps away; and there is a Winn Dixie and Wal-Mart very close by for your grocery needs. It is also located a very short drive away from the Outlet Mall. The backyard w/ the pool is very private which we loved. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils/supplies (there is a Keurig and regular coffee pots). If you like to use dish towels, however, I suggest bringing some along. The washer and dryer is awesome (we did bring along our own detergent and dryer sheets - baskets are provided). There are plenty of bathrooms, bedrooms, and closets. There are towels provided in each bathroom but if you use a lot of towels I recommend bringing a few extra along as well as an extra blanket if you are going to utilize the pull out sofas. The sheets/pillows are provided. We had one minor issue w/ grill - contacted mgmt and they sent someone out right away. 10/10 would stay again.

The location was the best part, house was nice/clean. A few little things in the house needed fixing but nothing to big. Would stay there again.

The property suited all of our needs. The booking process was easy and the Beach Reunion management group was very helpful throughout the process. The elevator was a must with over 1/2 of my guest over the age of 65, luggage & bringing groceries to the 3rd floor kitchen. This was an added expense, but well worth it. The outdoor furniture & grill wasn’t clean as much as I would like it, so we bleached and cleaned it ourselves. Also the living room furniture could use a little cleaning. The location was a short 2 min walk to the beach. The only thing that I didn’t read clearly was finding out that there was an extra charge to have the heated feature for the pool & spa to be activated from May-Sept. My family really enjoyed this location and it was more than enough space for our 16 guest. I would recommend this place to anyone with large group.

Everyone in our party enjoyed their stay. The house sleeps 32 ppl and we fit all 32 comfortable. Very close to shopping centers and outlets. Close drive to boat rental for crab Island. House had plenty of cooking pots and utensils. Kids and the adults loved the pac-man arcade in the game room. Short walk to the public side beach and pampanos joes. Plenty of pool toys n floats in the Shedd. We all had a great time sitting around the fire just cutting up. House had a few bikes for use. Was a little warm down stairs but had a couple of fans in closets. Could have used a few extra blankets and pillows.
No doubt we will be returning in the near future.

The property is nice but lacked the work of keeping items in proper condition. We had several days when the elevator was not working, a bathroom sink leaking, an unclean grill, and old rusty bikes with flat tires. However, the property management team was quick to respond to these issues. In my opinion, if housekeeping was thoroughly checked before guests arrived, the entire stay would have been much better.

Great location and Service
Rented this property for a week to decompress. Location is great since it’s not in the heart of all the action but close enough to it. The backyard was fantastic for relaxing. We experienced some issues related to Hurricane Ida but the property management was very responsive and easy to work with. Keeping this location in mind for future visits with friends and family

We stayed at the Gray Whale during hurricane Sally and the rental company was "OUTSTANDING" to us. We lost power and they moved our whole group to another home with power. The only negative point to the house is the refrigerator is small and really does not accommodate 32 people.

The Gray Whale was amazing. The accommodations were exactly what we needed for our family of 10 (with rooms to spare) to enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving vacation. The Gray Whale has everything for your entertainment. On the days we decided not to go out, we enjoyed the pool, hot tub, miniature golf, pool table and cornhold right on the property. The location is convenient to stores, outlet shopping and the amazing beach. Our beach view from the property was beautiful. The property manager(s) were very nice and easy to reach. Logan and Susan were great and very professional. Our family will definitely stay at this location again.

We just got back from staying at the Gray Whale. The house was amazing!!! Plenty of room, amazing outdoor space, huge pool and very clean! We had 6 kids and 6 adults and it was more than enough. Ice cream shop basically next door. Able to walk to restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream, shops and much more. I would rent this property again. Private beach access would put it over the top. I little further walk than we would like but that is because so much to bring with the kids. Still a great location and house. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay.

Great house and perfect location!
House was super clean upon arrival, the back yard pool, corn hole board and gold putting green are like no other! It was hard to decide between pool and games and the beach! Wasn’t a bad problem to have! We like the home so much we booked it again for the following month. Thanks for an awesome time and outstanding customer service!
