We needed a relaxing vacation for our family that includes 6 kids, ages toddler to teen. This house was simply perfect for our needs. I loved that we all had plenty of space, yet all felt together. The teens enjoyed heading to the beach or the community pool, while our littles seemed to enjoy the pool at the house more than anything. Everything was so clean and the house was much more impressive than the photos show. Definitely would book here again!

Beautiful house, loved the pool. The pool house and club house was close enough to walk to. The beach was a quick golf cart ride up the road. Loved the layout of the house as well. Would definitely come back.

The home was beautiful and ideal for family as each bedroom has its own bathroom. Having a private pool is huge when kids have to come in from the beach! The large covered patio was great and the screened in pool area made for pest free evening time!

The house is beautiful and had so many items included we didn’t even think we would need. We will definitely look to rent this property again only this time we can pack lighter! We used the pool everyday multiple times a day. House is close to shopping, food, and the beach! Quiet at night and during the day we enjoyed seeing a few fighter jets fly over head, not constant, so it did not get annoying. The house was just so nice the kids didn’t want to leave to go to the beach

This trip was more than amazing. The house was in great shape, super clean and so convenient to everything in Destin! The pool was perfect and used every day. The community pool was never super crowded and the neighborhood was quiet. We enjoyed the golf cart everyday with our group and we’re extremely impressed with the communication throughout the entire process. We will be back for sure!!!

Great spring break!
We really enjoyed our stay in this home. The pool was great and it was wonderful that we were able to heat it. It was nice for both kids to have their own room. I really appreciated being able to bring my dogs and have a fenced in yard. The property management team was excellent to work with and very communicative. I would definitely recommend staying.

This house was exactly as described and perfect for our family to spend a low key week together. The neighborhood is gorgeous and peaceful which allowed for nice walks. The golf cart was perfect to get to the beach with the kids. The pool and spa were used daily and the kids loved being able to swim anytime we were home. The men (my mom nor I golf) enjoyed it after a day of golfing. Highly recommend!!

Loved the house and pool!
Overall, we had a great trip. The house was as seen in the pictures and had all the amenities. We loved the fact it was a ranch (no stairs!) and we had the pool! We had a tropical storm come through the first 3 days so the beaches were closed and this was a life saver to keep my 4yo entertained. We were able to use the grill several times (on the first day, we had no propane but exchanged and were promptly reimbursed!).
A couple of opportunities (not showstoppers but worth awareness)
- We ended up going to the store and buying some of our own floor rugs to put inside the doors from the patio - there was so much sand out there that it kept tracking into the house. We had to clean the floor multiple times a day to try to keep it neat inside the house. Perhaps the patio needs a deep clean or leaf blower to remove the sand between guests.
- the golf cart was a great add to the house as the location really needed it to get to the beach or even ice cream. But it’s likely going to need some batteries soon - even with a full charge and only 2 people it was sluggish.
- a bit more communication with contractors arriving for maintenance (ie we were scared half to death by the pool guy walking into the patio without announcing himself - we didn’t even know you could get to the back without going through the house). Some notice or announcement would have been appreciated.
Overall, these are just minor pieces but it was a great stay! We would definitely come back and have recommended to several friends and family!
Note: in case you have never been to this area before, it is extremely busy during tourist season (no fault of home/owners) so highly recommend to try to grocery shopping off hours or prior to getting to the area - traffic, stores, restaurants are all crazy busy. This location was great since it was gated to help reduce unnecessary traffic.

The layout of the house worked great for us. The kids loved the pool and riding on the golf cart. The property manager was easy to get a hold of and was great to work with.

Everything was great as advertised. What was not good was a pool screen repair which took about 3 hours on our last day.

My sister and I rented this house with our families (both spouses and 5 children:, 2 teens, 1-10 year old and 2 children under 3 years). We were all very comfortable and enjoyed the open space and floorplan. House was extremely clean and organized. All bedrooms/bathrooms were nicely decorated and fully stocked with clean blankets, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen had everything we needed for grilling and preparing meals. The pantry area provided so much space for vacation snacks/food and also housed the washer and dryer which were very clean. The whole house was so well taken care of! The whole family loved the lanai, spacious sitting areas and pool/hot tub. We only used the golf cart once but the family enjoyed taking it around the neighborhood, we wished we had more time to use the the other amenities provided, such as the bikes. The gated community is very pretty and so close to restaurants with beach access. We were only about 15 minutes or so from the Destin Boardwalk and even a shorter drive to Henderson Beach and State Park. We came wanting to see the Emerald green coastline and wern't dissapointed!!!

Fantastic house in great area
My family and I had a wonderful time! House has plenty of space, nice open layout, and everything you need. The heated pool, hot tub and outdoor area are great. Lots to do, plenty of restaurants nearby, and only a few short blocks to the beautiful beach. Check in was easy and Rick was great to work with.
