Wonderful property! The beds were comfortable, the house was spacious and communication was quick and pleasant!

24 family members in one house made for an interesting week, but memories were definitely made! The house was perfect for our large group. Enough space where you didn't feel on top of eachother. We cooked 4 nights at the house and had everything needed to prepare big meals. Location is perfect for people to come and go to the beach as needed. Thanks so much for sharing your house with us!

Great House!!!

We arrived and all was good until we tried to go into the pool, which was 100 degrees plus. Not refreshing when the air temp is 95. Maintenance came out and said the heater was not on but he did admit he was not sure why the pool was so hot. They finally got the heat turned off and it took 2-3 days to cool down. We ask for some type of a refund, due to loss of the pool for that time, but they said the pool was hot due normal summer heating. That was wrong because the pool maintenance came out and said a circuit board had been malfunctioning. Still no refund from the property owner. To be fair they did offer us a case of beer. I'm sure the children that were with us would have really enjoyed the beer rather than playing in the pool the first 2.5 days (said ironically). Also, once the heat was turned off we did not have any heat for the hot tube in the evening. Besides the pool, the property was very nice...large room and common area. The flooring needed to be replaced in a few spots. Probably due to water getting under the flooring. There was also some duck tape on the steps to cover up some of the floor that had chipped. Also, if you're looking for an ocean view from the property, you'll need to go to the third floor balcony. There you see a partial view of the ocean through the other buildings

We loved the location to the beach. The pool area and kitchen/living area was a family favorite. Ellen and Koy got back to us quickly anytime we texted them. Our family was very satisfied and would definitely stay at Utopia again.

Pros: spacious enough for our group of 17, a bathroom for every bedroom, large dressers & night stands & bathroom cabinets to store a weeks worth of clothing & toiletries, large full sun pool (used every day), hot tub (used nightly),plenty of pool toys & nice quality beach chairs. Beach access 2 minute walk across the street. Kitchen well stocked with plates, cups, glasses, silverware & cooking utensils. Shopping & restaurants minutes away. Bad Ass Coffee so close. A must if you love Kona coffee & Dairy Queen 2 doors down from them. Quick response (next day) from management about a couple issues (nothing major). Cons: Many loose floorboards through the first floor living area, bedrooms & bathrooms. One of us actually got a splinter. The back door didn’t open easily. At times, knob would not turn. Not everyday cookers but kitchen lacking in big frying pans (1 with handle broken off so bought 2 new ones (left one). A couple good condition cookie sheets needed. No wine bottle opener (we bought & left). We did not contact management company about lack of these. Not the most comfortable outside seating. Photos showed umbrella table with chairs in pool area but not there, as well as couch & chairs seating under pergola. There were only 2 Adirondack chairs. An outside TV would be a nice addition. In summary I would recommend this home. There is definitely some wear & tear (expected with week after week rentals). Aside from the floorboard issue nothing that we couldn’t live with for the week. Recommendation would be for some full length mirrors in bedrooms. Ladies like these!

We (four generations ranging from 8 to 81) vacation together every year. This was our first year at Utopia. The house was in a great location... close to literally everything. The house was fairly clean, and the pool and hot tub were very clean. The kitchen could use some new basics like pot holders and kitchen towels, food prep utensils, baking sheets, and big pots. Also a new toaster. The big appliances all worked well. The kitchen not being well stocked may be a small thing for some renters, but we cook most of our meals together, and it was very inconvenient. The beds were comfortable. The pool and hot tub were amazing! At night the lights in both were beautiful. In the day it is a suntanner's dream since the sun shines on the area practically all day. We had a few minor issues that were handled within the hour! We would definitely rent this house again, but our family is growing and we need something bigger.

We all enjoyed the beautiful beach house! It was tucked away for privacy but close access to the beach, the owners were very wonderful as well and had fast responses for any questions we had!

We came with 5 families, all ages, from Ohio for Christmas break to escape the cold. Location is wonderful! Was very disappointed to find out the hot tub only came on from 7pm-mid night (while the group was at dinner). We asked for extra time and that request was not fulfilled. We paid extra to have the pool heated, but the weather was still too chilly to use it. So, we had 5 disappointed family’s that couldn’t use the hot tub. I have stayed in many other Destin homes and that was never the case. I feel this is something that should have been advertised, if we would have know, we wouldn’t have stayed! The washer and dryer was terrible. With 25 people that needed to wash towels, this was really inconvenient. It would take the dryer 3 cycles to dry the small load it held. A house of this size should have two sets or commercial grade. One living area was tough with that many people. The couches were filthy! You didn’t want to sit on them! There is a pool table on the third floor, but no seating. Love the fact that each bedroom has its own bath! The house itself and location is wonderful. You can tell it’s poorly furnished and managed. There are many many better options in the area, unless they make needed corrections.

House is on a dead end street, which is great for small children. Little traffic on the street. We had a group of over 25 that stayed at the house and still had plenty of space. It was clean. I sent a message, after hours, and someone responded quickly. Remote was replaced the next day. Will definitely choose to rent again from the company.

Overall, the property was in good shape. WIFI was very reliable given the # of guests on it. Check in / out was very streamlined and easy. Pool was also in good shape and was very clean given the weather that moved thru the last 24 hours.

The property was great. My family had a wonderful vacation at the Utopia. Location perfect... close to beach, shopping and family activities. Golf cart was a big plus. Less walking for family members with health issues.

Nothing to say, it is all in the description. Beach access was great. Destin beach is crowded nowadays. We had the area to ourselves due to the private access.

This was an amazing extended family vacation. We had 8 families within our extended family and everyone enjoyed themselves. The kids loved waking up to the pool, hot tub and the easy access to the ocean. Most of the shopping centers were only about a block or two away for the adults and when the adults finished shopping, they were able to take the kids to the beach on the golf cart. The only issue found was the back yard around the gazebo need attention. There was pine straw laying out but not placed. In addition to the outlets on the gazebo did not work. We were trying to watch a movie in the pool and hot tub but the other good place we could find was the gazebo because people had to go in and out of the back door. All adults and kids had an amazing time and love this vacation. We are looking to make this our yearly vacation unless more extended family comes, making us need more space.

Stayed here with friends and family location is amazing! Every restaurant was a short walking distance. The owner communicated about everything and was easy to reach. We will definitely stay here again!

Great location, great House, great vacation!

The overall impression of the property was good. We had ample space to accomodate us. The house was in need of some repairs. The kitchen floor is buckling, several towel racks missing, along with missing and cracked shelves in the refrigerators. the pool is excellent but should be landscaped like the one next to it. A bathroom for each bedroom was fantastic and provided much room for everyone. The kitchen island was great and so were the tables to dine with. Overall a good place to stay but expensive for not being on the beach.

Best house in the area! The backyard is amazing!

We have a yearly girls trip with about 14-16 girls and this house was perfect! It was very roomy, the pool and hot tub was amazing! The golf cart was helpful but the walk to the beach was not bad at all! The house needs a updated coffee maker and Keurig but would definitely stay here again!
