We love to travel a lot to Destin and spend the weekend with family, especially during summer season, since we are 2 hours away. This house is advertised wrong as an mansion and look luxury , BUT IS NOT A LUXURY O MANSION HOME , the online photos are spectacular and descriptions OMG Excellent but unfortunately NOT ACCURATE AT ALL ! …
This house is for a large group of 30 people, unfortunately we didn’t read well that they accept up to 30 people, so it’s worth money for a large group. But we were two families of 7 adults 4 children, so we always look for a comfortable home that has enough bedrooms, that way we have plenty of space and feeling like a home.
THE HOUSE WAS SEMI CLEAN, we found a dirty trash can downstair with liquid apparently sauce, dirty floor, terrible smell , all the rooms upstairs they really need to change their carpet, I don’t recommend this place for any Kids , we take our kids and they got sick due grand amount of dust. ALSO, we found dead roaches laying around. The bed linens did seem clean enough and towels were plentiful. The kitchen is not well equipped. Part of the family departured right the next Day and the other the following day, we were so upset, and we mention to the manager about the cleaning, and she said that I should report it at the check in, nobody want to let any people in the house while you there it, this is so uncomfortable. Any house needs to be ready at the moment of you enter.

The Nest was well worth it for a short weekend getaway with family. Comfortable accommodations for all to get the rest needed after staying up late. The fire pit, boat dock, pool, lanai furniture, etc...was fantastic. May have to do this again in warmer weather conditions. Great place.

The online photos are beautiful and the descriptions excellent….but unfortunately not accurate. 1 hr before arriving we are told there are no trailers of any kind allowed in driveway. We have a very small speciality trailer which was filled with supplies for a week’s stay with 23 family members. We drove 2000 miles for this reunion.
The property was surface semi clean. There were dead and living cockroaches (Palmetto Bugs as we were told). We killed them on counters, on floors and just about everywhere. The downstairs kitchen counter was so sticky we had to cover it to prep food. Was told it is always like this. The property manager did send a cleaning crew when I let him know about the dirty floors and dead roaches laying around. The bed linens did seem clean enough and towels were plentiful. The day before we were to use the grill we uncovered it and found there was no propane bottle. The prop manager insisted it was there and he had checked it himself. I sent photos. He kept insisting it had been there as if we had stolen it. Several hours later he brought out 2 bottles and left them on patio. While we enjoyed the fun with our family, all were less than pleased with the property. The photos on line and descriptions are deceiving. There is no mention that the upstairs is only accessible by outside stairs and no way to connect with the group unless going outside and down the stairs. After check out the prop manager texted and said we had left pillows and also that there was a missing griddle top from the stove top upstairs. Well, it was never there but my son found it on top of the downstairs refrigerator the day before we left. It felt like we were again being accused of taking something. So I suppose this review will not be published but hopefully management will take care of these issues. We were told several times that the property would get a deep clean during off season…well great but what about us?

Can't say enough great things about this property and the company that manages it.
Before I checked in, Daniel (our maintenance/info man) was extremely easy to communicate with, and flexible with those in our group who had early flights.
The house itself was amazing. I thought it looked great from the pictures when I booked, but it was 10 times cooler in person. The house is right on the water, has a massive outdoor area with pool and grilling area, 3 kitchens, and enough bed space for everyone in our 21 person group to sleep comfortably.
If you've never been to Destin (which most of us had not), it's a short drive, water taxi, or Uber away from the boardwalk, which is where we spent most nights.
We hadn't even checked out yet and we were already talking about how we have to come back and do the trip again. Don't hesitate to book this one!

Great location near beach and easy water taxi to boardwalk. Clean and property management was kind and helpful. Bathrooms are a bit outdated but clean. Property is broken into three different units which provided our group privacy when needed. We will rent again.

We absolutely loved our stay at this location accommodations were perfect the pool and the outdoor area was amazing met all of her expectations the only thing that I would change is that there would be possibly a toilet by the outdoor shower and maybe change the handles on the sliding doors as you’re coming in from outside.

We had three families & the house was perfect. Lots of space. The covered patio was great. Plenty of outdoor seating & the pool was big & clean! The beds were comfortable & the ice machine was a great perk. The location is great. Short walk to the private beach access & the dock allowed us to use the water taxi. Communication with the maintenance crew was excellent.

There was 9 of us in total and the house met every single one of our needs. It could easily hold more people. The boat dock was amazing because we were able to rent a boat for our stay and in just a quick ride we were able to be at Crab Island. The house was also equipped with an icemaker which was a game changer. Will be renting again.

My friends and I got together as a reunion for a long weekend here. The house was absolutely beautiful! It is so spacious with a great outdoor area for everyone to gather. This house would also be great for a few families to vacation together, as each family could have their own area. This was really the best vacation!

Navigation to Peace
This was one of the most peaceful rentals ever rented. The house in itself had more than enough room for everybody in my group to sleep and gather. The view was great. It felt like we were out on an island alone as the neighbors were super quiet. This place is perfect for gatherings of any kind. I definitely recommend it!
Communication with the property management was transparent and straight to the point! It was easy to get in contact and get any issue taken care of if there were to be any. The management was great!

Pleasantly Surprised
The online photos of this house looked amazing, but filtered and the reviews about being split into multiple areas left questions. While arriving we didn’t know what to expect. The neighborhood looked nice, but the front of the house lacked a little with curb appeal. Once we walked around back…….Wow! This house didn’t need front curb appeal! The back of the property was beautiful and the layout of the 3 separate living areas was amazing. This decor in this home and attention to detail is unmatched in any rental I have stayed in thus far. I highly recommend this home for any large group of people looking to have a blast!

The Perfect Location
We enjoyed staying on the bay side because it offered the ability to use the dock for water taxi's to and from the boardwalk area, as well as rented pontoon boats. The home was sectioned which allowed for everyone to be comfortable in their area or join one another in the common area. We enjoyed the pool very much, nothing like an early morning swim or evening night watching the bay next to the blue lit pool.
We were only able to visit the beach one day, but it was a quick 3-5 minute walk from the house and we were met with a beautiful beach, not crowded, with plenty of space to relax and feel the seclusion from the hustle of large public areas.
I can't think of one complaint for this property and the manager was very easy to speak with. He provided details and assistance at any time.

Awesome house
This house was way more than I could have excepted!! It was so roomy with plenty of bathrooms for all 15 people we had staying there. The kitchens were well stocked which was a plus since we cooked multiple meals during our 3 day stay. The pool was even bigger than I pictured. Overall 5/5 for us!!!

Really liked the convenience of being able to go to beach or fish off dock out back.
Pool and deck area out back was awesome. Didn't know that house was actually 3 separate living areas before arriving but it worked out fine for my family and guests

Beautiful location with plenty of space for a large group. The house was very clean and stocked with everything we needed for 25 people. The harbor was beautiful and a great option for a week with rough waters. A couple things we learned or that made our stay easier:
*The house really is three separate living spaces. The upstairs living areas are not connected with interior doors, but there is easy access from the deck. This separate areas were great for when you needed some down time.
*The downstairs area is large with a pool table and darts.
*The pirate room was so cool even the adults wanted to stay in the room.
*There is a good supply of beach “stuff” (chairs, wagons, etc.) on the property.
*The pool area and outside seating were perfect for pool days, corn hole, and cookouts
*The dock allowed for the kids to fish and launch kayaks and paddle boards. I highly recommend renting kayaks as there is a sand bar in the middle of the harbor that is almost like a mini-crab island. Get sand shoes though! We spent a day out there and it was so fun.
*The walk to the beach is short but if you are dragging a bunch of stuff, I would recommend getting a golf cart. We got a 6-seater and it saved our backs.
*Check-in process was smooth and the communication from the property manager was through text throughout the week. Very accessible.
*Take the water taxi — such a fun experience and a great way to avoid traffic.
We will definitely consider this property again!
