We had a great stay at this beautiful home! We loved how close the house was to the beach and the private beach access. We were always right on the ocean and it was never overly crowded. We felt safe in the neighborhood and enjoyed the neighborhood pool. We would definitely stay here again. The only thing I would change is that I wish there were more basic kitchen supplies available. If you plan on cooking, you will literally need to purchase everything, even your spices. We were also disappointed that there was only 1 wash rag available in the kitchen. Of course we washed it but have a few extra in the rotation would’ve been nice! Overall, great trip!

Everything was wonderful except we could not use the patio and grill. They did call us on the way down and explained that there was a problem with the railing but we had planned on grilling several nights and had planned on some of us eating on the patio table. But that was the only disappointment. The house and neighborhood is beautiful. The location is very convenient. The pool and hot tub were very relaxing. And the beach is gorgeous!

The house over all was clean .. But we first got there n the code wouldn’t work my son had to climb the window that was left open to unlock the door .. I had to call guy to come turn on the elevator for my handicap parents, and while he was there, I had him to look at the freezer because it would not open and he said it was just over froze not to worry about it… I’ll get back to that in few … then my sister was showering her boys, which are the age of four and seven in the master bathroom and when the four-year-old shut the door on the shower, it broke and shattered all over the babies and cut him to pieces and had blood everywhere. Glass was covered in the bathroom and we stayed at the emergency room to get him fixed up he had cuts all over his body from this heavy glass breaking.. but what we discovered the next morning as we looked at the other showers, trying to figure out how that could’ve happened and did not have a plastic guard on the end of it that kept it from hitting the wall it was in the closet of the master bedroom and was not put on.. I tried to call him the next day and no answer. I left several messages. I tried to call the next day left several messages. No one got back with me. this was no accident. This heavy of a glass should’ve never broke and shattered the way it did and this kind of a home … we needed their help and they would not even call us back to help us.. it is four days later and still no call but they sent me an invoice taking my deposits..

The home was perfect for our group. We had four families stay in this house together and we had more than enough room. It was so close to the private beach which we loved. The community pool was also heated which made a big difference for our young kids as the weather was in the low 70's. The home was clean, beautiful and had everything we needed!

Beautiful spacious villa. We all enjoyed the access to beach and will return for more. Our grand daughter loved the beach toys and being pulled in the wagon.

Reviewer Comments:
This home is beautiful! We were so close to access to the beach without ever having to cross the street. The home sleeps 18 people, but just know that there are only 4 king size beds. The other rooms have bunk beds, so it is ideal if you have singles or young children. The home was very cleaned and well-furnished. Management was fantastic upon checkin with my numerous questions always being quick to respond. Definitely would recommend. We enjoyed it very much! Only maintenance issue was downstairs tub/shower drained slowly and the bedroom had poor lighting. Minor things that can be easily resolved.

This was our second time at this property. It checks all the boxes for our large group of kids and adults. Enough bedrooms for the adults plus two bunk rooms - one for boys and one for girls. Plenty of room to spread out - or - for everyone to hang out together. You are just a one-minute walk to the beach. The neighborhood is nice and the private beach is unbeatable. The crew that does the tent/chair service is great. We love this house and everything about it!!

Had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the whole family. The house accommodated 14 of us easily. Few things to be aware of though - bring your spices, and paper products. There was no broom or mop. Even though it shows four parking spots, we could only squeeze 3 vehicles. Ending on a good note though the location was great and the beach was on the property. Being a gated community added extra security.

Home was not ready at check in so had to wait for the property to be cleaned. Didn't have enough towels for everyone staying but Management brought us extra towels along with extra kitchen towels. Management was very helpful and came right away if we needed anything. House is advertised as 7 bedrooms but they count the pull out couch in the gameroom a bedroom. That is very deceiving. Overall house is beautiful and great for a large group. Kitchen is well stocked. We had a great time staying at the home!

Framily Vacation
My family spent a week at this property with three other “framilies” - in total 8 adults and 8 kids ranging in age from 4 to 14. We all had a blast! The property is gated, so we felt very safe. Even though the house is not right on the beach, it was only about a block walk to the boardwalk entry. The private beach was great. Very easy to find a spot and not very crowded, even during peak tourist season. The home itself does not have a pool, but there is one within the property that we used frequently. The property was very clean and cozy. We are already planning our return for next year!

Blessed stay at Blessed by the Sea.
Great house for a great week. Very well maintained. Apparently the group before ours was rough on the house but you would not have known it; by the time we arrived it was in pristine condition. Destiny by the Sea is a great place to stay in Destin. Owner could not have been more responsive for minor issues we had on check in.

Great Vacay!
We had a group of 22 people and everyone had a place to sleep. We loved that we didn't need to cross old 98 to get to the beach and their community pool was clean and not very busy even on busiest week during spring break. It was a beautiful home and the owners were very responsive when we had questions about things. We would definitely stay there again in the future. Thanks

Great location
Great location and a wonderful house to stay in. We enjoyed our visit and we had some small hiccups that were taken care of. I wish there were balls for the foosball table because the kids really wanted to play. We were offered passes for mini golf instead but we didn’t have the time to take advantage of it so we didn’t consider. The listing should give more detailed description of the floor plan and the amenities available - the garage had sand toys, boogie boards, bikes, tire floats which was nice to know in advance. We were short on towels but that was immediately addressed. Also the beds have only sheets and very thin bed covers so I would recommend you bring your own blankets. We had packed some but not enough so we had to go buy some since those were not provided due to the pandemic. The moms that used the bedrooms on the first floor said the thermostat was not working properly because the temperature could not go below 75. The very last evening they complained it was too warm to sleep. The other bedrooms and the rest of the house stayed cool and comfortable. The kitchen has a blender, pots and pans, toaster, two types of coffee machines, salt and pepper, olive oil so we had everything we needed to cook in the house. There is also a grill on the balcony that we used one of the evenings. We have already recommended the house to some of our friends and we really appreciated Joey’s responsiveness.

Perfect Vacation
This was an incredible trip. A family memory we hope to have again in the future. Our family fit very comfortably with 18 of us. Perfect place for everyone to gather in the main area but also get away to rest or take a nap after a long day at the beach and pool! The neighborhood is quiet and family friendly. Very safe! The beach is awesome as it is quiet and much less crowded than other areas of Destin. There is private access and it is easy to either rent umbrellas and chairs or we ended up bringing our camping chairs/beach umbrellas. We rented a kayak for a morning and saw sea turtles, manta rays, and jelly fish all 100 or so feet out from the beach. Dolphins were swimming out in the horizon as well. We went to Blalock seafood and got fresh fish and shrimp to cook every day. The grill is right next to the kitchen and worked great! We will definitely be coming back! A perfect place for a perfect get away! Thank you!

Great Family Vacation House
This house was awesome. We were there to celebrate a family birthday. Even though it’s not on the water the walk to the beach was right around the corner and very convenient. The property was very clean and we were very satisfied with our stay. Daniel with Destin Luxury Beach Rentals was our maintenance man and he was super helpful from check in to check out. We never had to call him for any kind of maintenance but did text him with a couple of questions about the property and he was very quick to answer our questions and was very nice. The gate security guys were also very helpful and nice. I would surely recommend this property. We very much enjoyed our stay.
