The Stingray home was perfect for our group and very close to the beach and other restaurants/shopping. The casita is a great addition in the back and allows for a lot of space for guests privacy. Hosts were amazing with little requests we had like more towels/paper towels and ready to drop off items as needed. Overall great stay!

The property was as expected, large enough to accommodate everyone but most of the rooms were small, only one large one with enough room to move around. Overall the house was good.

The property was everything we wanted! Short walk to the beach. Nice house and pool. Game room was awesome. We had a blast. PLENTY of room. Only bad parts were the outside shower sprays water everywhere and the grill needs watched closely, ignites into flames quickly. We had a great, relaxing time.

One concern is the uneven floor in the suite above the entertainment room. Would like hangers for wedding clothes etc in the non master bedroom.

The size was perfect for our entire family. Didn’t realize we couldn’t park near the beach access so was quite a walk with all the stuff we had to drag back and forth. Couldn’t find a broom or dustpan to sweep up. No closet in the guest house and that bathroom outlet was in the cabinet, strange and took me awhile to figure it out. Uneven floors also. The garbage bins were full when we arrived. Lastly I suggest a larger garbage container in the kitchen as we filled it up daily and also some sort of storage containers for leftovers would have been nice to have, we went and bought in our own. Also a garbage bin in the recreation room is a need. Overall we truly enjoyed our stay

If you are looking for a home to accommodate and entertain your family this is it. The game room below the guest house was a lot of enjoyment for all members of our family. Ages 2-69! The pool was nice too. Close to beach but we had a car and rented a golf cart.

We had a great vacation, and found Blue Jay "ok"
Good location! Adequate rooms for 12. Poor pool stix. Game room toilet nasty. Main kitchen refrig. warm first 24 hours. Our salmon ruined. Parking posted 6; In actuality, only four fit comfortably. Internet needed to be explained after poor first day service. Poor response from caretakers, per phone.

Place looks just like the pictures. Rooms and outdoor area are spacious enough for big groups. 5 min walk to public access beach. Property manager was very polite and responsive.

Everything we expected…
The house was everything we expected!! The location was perfect and just minutes away from everything, whether walking or driving. The only thing we’d suggest is providing body mirrors on the doors in some, if not all of the rooms. I’m glad we chose this house for my birthday celebration. It was beautiful!!

We traveled to Destin with 10 adults for an end-of-summer getaway. We were all very happy with the sleeping arrangements--at least a queen size bed for all guests--and the common areas were lovely as well. There are restaurants, grocery story, liquor store, gas station all very close. The kitchen had everything we needed for our meals--dishware, silverware, serving platters, etc.--and there was an operable blender and slow cooker for our use as well. The property management company made sure there were enough beach chairs and towels for us to use during our stay, and the washing machine was key to using the towels multiple days.
The only issue we had during our stay were some uninvited critters that tried to join our party. We had 3-4 cockroaches in the house/pool-house and a number of lizards in the pool area. These aren't unusual for Florida, especially right after a storm moves through the area and disrupts the ground, but its something to be aware of.
We would love to stay in the Blue Jay next time we travel down to Destin, and we would recommend it to you and your family as well.

Best vacation!!
This property is fantastic. The casita above the game room was perfect for us, allowing us a little privacy and a place for my husband to work. The main house and casita were sparkling clean and there were about 50 towels for the pool. The linens were high quality. It was a short walk to the beach. Large umbrellas shaded the pool for most of the day. Any issues we had were dealt with promptly. There were tons of pool and beach toys for us to use. Overall it was a perfect stay for us and our party of 11, a mix of adults, teens and kids.

Upon arrival there were a few mishaps, but Tripp answered all of our questions and assisted us throughout our check-in process and our entire stay. The house is beautiful and has so many fun things to explore and keep you and the kids entertained. The pool was warm and the pool house was a great added feature to the home. There was plenty of space for our family of 9. All of the beds were big and comfortable and shopping and restaurants were so conveniently located. Only a few blocks away. The short 5 min walk to the beach was the cherry on top of our entire trip. You won’t be disappointed when booking this home for your next vacation. We can’t wait to come back and visit again! Avant- Stays has made our vacation unforgettable.

This property was everything that we expected. Blue Jay was beautiful and spacious. There was so much going on at this house that we couldn’t get to everything. There’s a wonderful game room which opens up to the pool. The guest house is perfect for that person in your group who need just a tiny bit of privacy. The beds were super comfy. One guest stated even the bunk bed(queen size) was one of the most comfortable beds ever. I had all of my girls bring blue bottoms and white tops for some beautiful pics on the fabulous blue and white porch.
The location was excellent. The main strip(about 5 minutes away) had any store you can dream of. We had direct contact with the property manager Tripp who graciously answered any questions and worked with us on our check out.
I would DEFINITELY stay at this property again,
