This is our 2nd year to stay at this house. We love the location. The house is gorgeous and neighborhood is quiet. This visit we had a lot of struggles with hot water. We didn’t have that problem last year and we had the same 20 people in the house last year. The property manager came out twice which was appreciated.

I cannot say enough great things about Blue Water Escape. The entire experience was top notch from start to finish and the location was perfect for our family’s beach getaway! Communication with the property management was so easy and they made the experience seamless. I would highly recommend this property for large groups!

The house we rented was Remember When. When we arrived the water to the house had been turned off but the management company did resolve the issue within couple of hours. The house overall was ok . The kitchen pans and other supply were definitely in need of replacement in all categories. The grill didn’t work well. The dryer to the house didn’t work and the management company was aware of this but didn’t let us know. It needs replacing but owner hasn’t done it. The shower door in a bedroom kept falling off . There was no broom or swifer to clean the floors. The pool obviously has a leak we had to fill it every day. Destin is a great place to vacation but will look for other properties in the future

The house was great inside but the outside needs some more effort and clean up. The pool and grill were a complete mess when we arrived but the pool service vendor did a great job of getting the pool back in order and made a follow up visit to check on us. Overall, a great experience.

Ocean Reef offered a very beautiful and clean house, however we had to kill three big water bugs. You also need to bring everything because all that was supplied in the home was towels. The mattresses are extremely horrible and they leave you with one roll of tissue per bathroom and one roll of paper towels. With the amount of money that the place takes in a month you would think that they would have better mattresses and cookware, as well as supply at least one roll of tissue per house guess. The pool should have also been cleaned out before arrival because it was not As clean as it should have been.

The house was nice. Everything was neat and clean. Pool was nice and the children enjoyed it. Parking was perfect for the amount of cars we had. The location of the house was perfect. Everything was near and didn't have to travel so far. Beach was right across the street. Heads up, the elevator doesn't work. But our overall experience was great.

This was our second stay at this house. This time was special as we got married on the beach during our stay. The house and location are amazing. We had a great time and the house was perfect size for 8 adults with plenty of room for more. The outside of the house needs power washed in the worse way. The pool lights didn’t work and the cooking pans needs replaced but I would definitely stay again. Thank you for providing a perfect location and house for our special trip..

It was good-except for the dishwasher stopped draining on Wednesday. I called and no one showed up. I called again on Thursday and someone came but it was never repaired.

This house is gorgeous. Kudos to the owner for the decorating.
While we really enjoyed our vacation and the house really is in a prime location and offered plenty of space and amenities for us, there were a few items that we would have expected to be different especially with the amount of money for this property for the week.
1. Construction- The house next door had construction everyday from 7am until 7pm. This really put a damper on the ability to feel that we had some privacy in the pool as the construction crews were constantly working on something outside.
2. The house could use a deep clean as the floors were very dirty and my wife ended up having to sweep most of them to collect the dirt and hair.
3. The pool was dirty and the water level was too low for the skimmer to properly cycle water. The pool company didn't come to clean until the Saturday morning we were checking out so I'm assuming they must not have come before then.
Other than the items above, it was really a good vacation for our children and in-laws.

The property was decorated and furnished as shown in the advertisement. The walk to the beach was not too far. The pool area could have been a little more clean and if the pool was heated that would have been nice. Just to knock the chill off. It was very cold😔 Unfortunately we had construction going on on one side of us and on the other side the tenants stayed up most of the night playing their music VERY loud!
We still enjoyed Destin and we will go back again.
Thank you for letting us use your home!

This was a beautiful home in a very nice location. We all enjoyed our trip very much. Our only complaint was that the home needs to be deep cleaned. The floors have not been cleaned well for quit some time I would guess. With the coronavirus I feel now homes need to be deep cleaned with each stay.
