Great stay! Great location! Great host! Our little family plans on coming back!

We rented this house for two families (4 adults, 3 kids). It was perfect for us. The kids loved the bunk room. The house was so close to the most beautiful beach (maybe 5 minute walk at most). We paid to have the pool heated which was so worth it. (It was chilly at night still the week of Easter). The house supplied everything you need, plenty of bath AND beach towels, beach chairs (many in addition to the two provided with an umbrella at the private beach), bikes for adults and kids (made it easy to come back to the house from the beach for bathroom breaks), sand toys, pool toys, beach wagon, plenty of hooks for hanging towels and suits, tv was not a smart TV (which was fine we brought an HDMI cable and were able to stream through our laptop), kitchen had everything you need—even a working blender:). Bottom line we had a great vacation and would definitely recommend this place:).

Loved that we was within walking distance to the beach because oceanfront isn’t safe with my son who is autistic and a fast runner! Lol. The private pool was perfect for him and my momma while I could take my other child to the beach:) great lil get away!

Pros- close 5 minute walk to the beach- close restaurants- clean house- good communication- close to everything Cons- nowhere to park the golf cart at the beach- outside lights broken so after light pool area was very dark- all beds are EXTREMELY hard and uncomfortable- broken gate outside flapping in the wind kept us up one night-

We really enjoyed our spring break spent here! Before our trip, Nora was very easy to message with as I had several questions about what we needed to bring and about heating the pool. We paid the extra fee to have the pool heated, and it was well worth it! We swam every day of our trip! The pool was our 5 year old’s favorite part of our trip. We had brought our own pool floats and pool noodles (just personal preference). There was at least one pool float in the garage. We really enjoyed the time we spent at the beach. Two days were too windy to stay there (the sand was blowing around), but the other days were beautiful. The beach wagon in the garage was very helpful to help us carry everything to the beach. There is a dedicated area inside the beach gate for guests to park their wagons. We had brought our own pair of beach chairs (since we had 4 adults), beach toys, and beach towels, but the house had all of those things already provided, as well as many boogie boards. We loved the easy walk to the beach and the pair of chairs and beach umbrella set up there (thank you for providing that for your guests!). The beach attendant was very friendly and helpful. We especially enjoyed treats from the ice cream truck that stopped regularly at the top of the beach stairs. The ocean water was nice, but strong rip tide currents prevented swimming almost every day. That didn’t bother us at all as we like to relax on the beach and build sand castles instead. We really enjoyed the house. The family room was very nice as was the large dining table. The only things we wished the kitchen had were a Keurig coffee maker and foil (to line the baking pans). We did wish the dinner plates weren’t so heavy and large as they took up so much space in the dishwasher and were heavy when washed by hand. The dishwasher needed to be restarted several times, so not sure if it needs to be serviced and/or replaced. The washer and dryer worked well. The bedrooms were well-furnished and had nice, clean bedding. We discovered that the queen size bed was noisy (it seems like the mattress springs were making all of the noise?). Perhaps a new mattress is needed in that room. The bunk room was very nice with two bunk beds. We appreciated that the top bunks had railings all around the beds—great safety and security feature. The master bedroom and bathroom were very nice. We definitely would stay here again! Thank you for hosting us and for maintaining such a nice house!

This is a great property that offered everything we were looking for. The pool was great and we paid the extra to have it heated and it was well worth the extra cost. The kids were in the pool every day. It was also very private and quiet.

It was a very clean property close to the beach and with a nice pool. The home has a nice layout but the furniture was not very comfortable and felt pretty worn but it was all very clean and the convenience to the beach made it worthwhile. The owner lives next door and is around.

We purchased pool heat during 12/25/21 – 1/1/2022. We debated but so glad we did. It was warm and ready for our arrival about 9 p.m. Outside temps ranged from low to mid 70s with a breeze and constantly rolling gulf waters, which we could pleasantly hear sitting pool side. We were able to swim comfortably. The back yard is very relaxing with the quiet neighborhood and beautiful palm tree lined fence. The house is comfortably set up for 8 people, including pool area and inside dining. It’s great for everything from dining together to playing cards and board games and we did! There were plenty of additional bath towels & beach towels. Housekeeping takes pride in their work as previous reviews mentioned the house is spotless, including the AC/furnace vents! This is especially helpful for families who suffer with allergies and asthma. We’ve been renting vacation houses and cabins since 2002 and vents are usually overlooked. I don’t understand with it being a health and maintenance issue. The private beach is a relaxing 10-minute walk. Currently, there is no parking available. There is a small area for bikes, strollers, wagons, etc. Public beach access is nearby for those needing to drive. The beach is a total contrast to the south. As advertised, the sand is like sugar with no shells. Visitors respect the area as there was no trash. This was our first vacation to Destin. At least at this time of year the area seems to be a quieter group of folks than farther south. The water sports had closed for the season but there were plenty of alternatives, restaurants, shopping, etc. As with most rentals we’ve had, you will need your own additional toiletries such as bath tissue, paper towel, dish washing, and laundry. We pack two totes, one with kitchen ware, bath & cleaning items and one with dry groceries to limit our time grocery shopping on vacation. As mentioned, the kitchen is stocked well, the cookware is fantastic and the house is very traveler friendly with storage in pantry, utility room and linen closet in the master bath. Nothing was cluttered with items left from past renters. We met Nora by chance. She is very welcoming and accommodating. We had no issues with the house, but it was comforting knowing she was close by if needed. We look forward to renting from her again should we return to the Destin area.

The property was well maintained, extremely clean and in a quiet neighborhood. Everyone we encountered in the neighborhood was very friendly and helpful. The house had everything we needed and then some. The process of booking, checking in and out was a breeze. My only concern was that the property was listed as having the heated pool, which made me think it would be heated at all times. There was an additional charge to heat the pool which was a significant cost for our family, which was why we chose not to heat it. The kids didn’t seem to mind swimming in the cold water, but I could not get in. Overall everyone had a great time and would definitely stay here again. We have already recommended the house to friends of ours.

Such a perfect spot for a family vacation. Nora is an amazing host and is so quick to address anything that comes up. A quick walk to the beach, awesome pool in the back, quiet neighborhood. Really couldn't ask for more. Can't wait to go back!

Had a wonderful time staying here! Short trip to the beach, private pool, wagon and some bikes, everything we needed! Tons of towels, which is nice. I do wish the bedding and pillows were a little nicer. But I should've brought my own pillow, my mistake for forgetting. I've already recommended this place to some friends, and hope to visit again

Our family included three people staying in the house and four others staying in two RV parks. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, and became headquarters for several indoor/outdoor meals and pool enjoyment. We averaged twice-a-day visits to the beach which is about a 10-minute walk away. Bikes and pool/beach toys are on site, and the owner is promptly available for any questions or concerns. We enjoyed our stay.

We loved everything about the property including the folks we rented from. Great pool right out the back door and private too. The house was very comfortable and clean with a nice kitchen and open floor plan. We stayed as a couple, but there are two more bedrooms, one with four bunks! A quick walk to a private beach with beach chairs and umbrella waiting on you when you arrive. Restaurants in walking distance too. We rented a golf cart for the week and could drive it to any place we needed to go, including grocery stores. Can’t wait to come back!

This house was perfect for us. Very short walk to the beach and fantastic pool for the kids to enjoy for the entire stay.

The house is very nice, loved the pool in the back yard! The walk to the beach is not very long. We love the area and feel very comfortable there. Good restaurants are close by.

Property was spotless and just as described in the listing. Communication was great and owner was very attentive. We had a great stay overall.

I loved it there. The house was really nice and big. Just right for us. The pool was a nice size. It was only a short walk to the beach. They supplied a wagon, chairs, sand toys, surf boards, etc. We also had 2 chairs and umbrella set up everyday. I will definitely stay there again.

This is our second time staying at this house and it is wonderful! Perfect location! The beach is only a block away and the pool is fantastic. The owners are very attentive to any issues that may arise and the place is very clean. My family has had the best vacations here and it is truly a great place to rent for the week.

Nora’s home was beautiful and very well maintained. Everything was just as advertised, clean, nicely decorated, and the neighborhood was beautiful and safe. It was only a short walk to the beach, and the house had a beach wagon for our use, which was very helpful! We had the opportunity to meet Nora in person, and she was very sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this property.

This home is beautiful! So spacious! Nora and Michael have thought of everything. The garage is full of beach/pool toys. Washer and dryer is nice to have after being at beach. We cooked dinner and lunch at home a lot. There was nothing I needed that wasn't in the kitchen. If traveling w large group, no worries - extra fridge in garage! The beach is literally 2 blocks away. You can hear waves from back yard. Pool is great to have! We traveled with 3 kids (9-13) and they were in the pool daily. We will definitely be back again! So much nicer than being cramped in a hotel and cheaper :)

This place is just what the title says. Perfect! It is beautiful home in a beautiful location. You are about 2 blocks away from a beautiful sugar sand beach. The home comes with a wagon that made taking all the beach stuff a breeze. It also comes with all the beach items you need! The pool in the backyard was perfect for us to enjoy while a young daughter took her afternoon naps. The house was clean and we had a wonderful relaxing vacation. We hope to return again one day!

This was an absolute incredible place to stay. We have rented several homes for different vacations & this is one of our family favorites. Thank you Michael & Nora for your kindness & allowing us to stay at your great place. Although we had to leave earlier than planned we definitely enjoyed our short time there. We hope to return one day soon.

This is our second time to stay at this house and we will definitely go back again. The house is very clean and has plenty of room for 10 people. We love having the pool in the backyard. The beach is a short walk and the wagon in the garage is helpful for transporting all of the beach chairs, toys, etc. that they have available. Owners are excellent to work with!

Very clean house with more than enough room for our family of four. The location along the backyard pool will definitely make us want to come back again. The owners are great and can answer any concerns you may have before or during your stay.

We had a wonderful week with friends at this lovely home. Everything was very clean and they had everything we needed and more. The pool and backyard were where we spent half of our time and the kids had a blast everyday. There were beach chairs, beach toys, umbrella and a wagon for our trips to the beach which were so convenient. The beach was located just a short walk away and easy for even the kids to walk to. We had a wonderful time and would not hesitate to stay here again! Nora, the owner came by to meet and check on us during our stay and also greeted us when we were leaving. I left a small jewelry box in the home and she immediately contacted me regarding it. She shipped it back to me and I was so thankful as there was a very special necklace inside. Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation!

We had a wonderful week at this house! Upon arrival, the house was spotless, which we very much appreciate. There were plenty of beds for our family of 5 and then some. We felt right at home. The pool was just perfect and the backyard is private. The location is very close to the beach. With a little one, we didn't want to walk too far to get to the beach. The house came equipped with beach chairs, toys, boogie boards, and a wagon so it made the short walk very nice. We really liked the beach access also. It is a much less crowded beach than most in the area. The location was close to restaurants, outlets, etc., We liked that there was a front and rear entrance to the neighborhood so you could get anywhere quickly. Also, working with Nora was a pleasure. We will definitely return next year!

Wow! The Home was beautiful and decorated very nice. Being a picky traveler, I was very impressed and comfortable. The house was very close to the beach and the family enjoy the pool. The owners were very nice to work with and even stop to check on us. We would go back again!

This was our first trip to Destin and we loved it. What a beautiful place where we stayed. The owners were very responsive and stayed in touch without being intrusive. The house was exceptionally clean when we arrived. The amenities were amazing. Bicycles, boogie boards, sand buckets, an air tired wagon for the beach. When you leave the house the beach is to the right, thru the gate to the right, just followed the paving stone down to "scenic highway 98". The entry to the beach is to the left very close to the second crosswalk. It is only a five minute walk and in a very nice area. We started using that gate on Sandy Cay Drive while driving, it was much easier because of the holiday traffic on "Emerald Coast Highway 98". The restaurant Louisiana Lagniappe at 775 Gulf Shore Dr, Destin, FL 32541 had exceptional service and excellent food. It is a bit of a challenge to get back to it, but well worth the effort. We felt very fortunate to find such a nice place for our first visit. You can tell when the owners take pride in keeping the place in such nice condition and have the right people to make sure the house is clean and the pool people came by twice during the week to make sure it was in top shape!

Very clean. Had a great stay. Owners were very helpful. We will return!
