We absolutely loved our stay! We lost our home the day before we were scheduled to leave. We needed a pick me up. It was the perfect location. We were able to spend time at the pool while the weather wasn’t the best for the beach. I loved the family friendly feel. Much needed trip.

Our experience with this Ocean Reef property was great. We elected to have the pool heated, which was great because the Gulf was still cool, so we could comfortably swim all week. The kitchen was stocked reasonably well in terms of equipment but there was nothing for seasoning. My only complaint was that in trying to plan things out as much as possible (3 kids aged 2-7), I had asked specifics for where the beach access point was, and never got a clear answer (it is straight across from Sunfish St next to the Seaoats Motel). Having an outdoor shower to clean off after time on the beach was a nice benefit. The young children all slept in the bunks, which are in a closet attached to the master bedroom. I would recommend bringing a fan to keep that room more comfortable. The other family slept downstairs and the home was quiet enough that our early risers didn’t wake them up.

We loved this house. The layout of this house was great with plenty of room for two families with children (ages 6-9). The kids loved the pool and the walk to the beach was short. The only thing that we had a problem with was that the wifi was very slow. Not a big deal to me, but it may bother some people. Loved, loved this house! I would definitely stay here again.

I loved everything about the house and the property. The only disappointing thing is that it's not made clear there is active construction going on from 8am to 6pm M-F. There are stray nails that fall around the pool and it's obviously pretty noisy. It makes the property way less enjoyable when you feel the need to constantly leave during the day to get some peace. I also think the property could use some TLC and maybe a furniture update in the living room and on the patio. The cushions on the couches in both areas are more than well loved/used and the living room also smelled like the property had been sitting for some time before use even though that's not the case. It was everything you see in the pictures....it just should be made more clear about the construction and the price you pay nightly. I didn't pay almost 300 a night to not even be able to stay in the property during the day.

The house was perfect for our family vacation. The location was very good. The only issue was they were building a house next door and there was a lot of noise and sawdust from this. Other than that it was awesome!!!!

We had 4 small kids and 4 adults and we fit perfectly in the house. The private pool was wonderful! The distance to the beach was great. We enjoyed our time here immensely! The only con we had were the mosquitos were absolutely horrible around the pool. We eventually bought 3 citronella candles and some fogger to help but regular spraying is probably needed. Amazing house though!

House was perfect for our family of 9. Just a quick short walk to the beach ... beach was nice and not over crowded. Was nice to come home from beach and have the pool to relax in. Loved the screened in porch, perfect for breakfast and for little ones to play in. Would love to visit again !!

I have been vacationing in Destin for 25 years, this is one of the first times I was disappointed with the property. If you accept the fact that you are in The Best area on the Gulf Coast then the property should be The Best also for the Money, It was NOT. It needs fresh paint, lots of water stains on ceilings and rotten wood on deck outside. In evening we wanted to sit outside near the pool, too many mosquitos due to overgrowth of trees with leaves all over. The house is suited for 10 guests but the neighbors call cops if you park on street, as driveway only handles 2 cars. Next door was under construction, they ran over gas line resulted in no hot water no cooking for one day. Location is excellent near beach. Size of house is excellent. A/C worked great, pool was nice addition. I called MGT felt disappointed at their response to my concerns, paid top dollar and my stay was not 5 stars. Will not go back to this property again, will go back to Destin.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Islamorada. The neighborhood is very pretty and is a close walking distance to a private beach. The beach wasn’t overcrowded which was a great plus! The house is very comfy and was the perfect size for our family. The kids loved the bunk beds and the outdoor shower was also nice to have. My husband and I loved the screened in back porch where we would have our morning coffee each day. We had a problem with the water heater during our stay and within a couple of hours there was a handy man there to fix the issue. The house is located near plenty of places to shop and eat. I would highly recommend this property for your stay in Destin!

We had a wonderful stay here! Close to the beach but the pool was so nice!! It was a little retreat! So many people in Destin but you didn’t know it from this house!!

The location of the house was an easy walk to the beautiful beach!! We had the pool heated which was perfect. However, overall the property was not very clean and felt like it wasn’t being kept up. There is a beautiful screened in porch but it was filthy(old empty water bottles still there) table was not wiped off and sectional was dirty to sit on. Inside the house there was a lot of dust and build up on things like furniture and lighting and in kitchen. We went around and cleaned and wiped things up. The seating around the pool was old and dirty looking. Its sad because you can tell at one point the house was really nice. Its just not being kept up.

This home was perfect after a long road trip! The heated pool was perfect with the sunny but chilly weather. The pool heater did stop working our second morning, but a quick note to maintenance through the guest portal and the heater was replaced and warming the pool back up by the afternoon. Cute as a button, very clean and comfy, a super easy and short walk to the beach, and beautiful sunrises across the lake from the decks made this an amazing vacation after a tough year!

This was a perfect winter getaway. The house was exactly as pictured! Our boys loved swimming in the heated pool and the quick walk to play on the beach. They also enjoyed sleeping in the bunk beds. We are already looking forward to returning next year!

Really short walk to a semi-private beach (neighborhood HOA is part of a group that has access to this beach). This is a really nice feature in the COVID environment or any person that appreciates a little less people and more room to move around. The property is smaller than the pics indicate. There is a weird bunk bed in the master bedroom closet. It would be okay for little kids, but we just threw our kids on the couch and it was fine. The couch is a pullout. Count that in your bed calculations. Really it is a 3 bedroom with a pullout. The pool was great. I was concerned it would be smaller but it was great. Nicely shaded by live oaks. I wish were there right now!

From the pool to the short walk to the beach and all the lovely outdoor spaces, this house was perfect for our family with 3 small children!

We surprised our 5 young children with a trip to the beach for Christmas. After a long drive, this house was perfect to drive up to!!! It's just off the main road so feels private but it was an easy walk to the beach for us, even the ones with short legs. The house is BEAUTIFUL. We were thrilled by the entire set up and the spaciousness of it. It was like the photos but had such a warm feeling in person. The kitchen was well stocked but we did have to buy garbage bags and a cleaner for the table and counters. We especially loved that there was an entrance into the laundry/half bath which made potty breaks and pool clean up a breeze with the littles. We did have one minor issue with the hot water not working when we got there but we called the after hours number and they had a plumber out to fix it with in an hour. And the next day an employee stopped by to be sure it was fixed and we were satisfied and everything was working well. The house is near everything and everything you could need in terms of shops, restaurants, etc. We lacked for nothing while we were there. The kids swam in the heated pool everyday and it was worth every penny to have it heated for our stay. Overall we loved our stay and this little piece of paradise. We would definitely stay here again and have shared the link with half a dozen friends who have asked about it.
