Awesome location, beautiful home and Patti was so easy to work with. She checked on us during the stay to make sure everything was going well for us.

My husband, Mom, and small dog all stayed at Castaway for 3 week. We had a great time, and we plan on returning. The neighborhood is very quiet. The house is very clean and well stocked (towels, cleaning supplies, pots/pans/utensils). Patty even starts you off with paper towels, napkins, laundry detergent, and toilet paper, and the kitchen is stocked with salt, pepper, oils, and some spices. The master bedroom/bathroom has recently been remodeled, and it is lovely. We had comfortable beds and good water pressure (which is important for someone with long hair like me). We were greeted by a brand new, full size washer and dryer. The pool is fabulous, and we enjoyed swimming every day. You can walk to the beach from the cottage, but there is also golf cart parking right by Camille's restaurant. We enjoyed walking the beach every evening. The cottage is in the middle of everything - you can walk to Publix along with drugstores, restaurants, nail salons, etc. I saw another reviewer mention dust. The house was very clean when we arrived. There was a little dust here and there, but you should have seen the highly rated, brand name hotels we stayed at during our drive to and from Destin - dirty bathrooms, no housekeeping service, torn and stained towels. Hotels are not what they used to be before Covid, and Patty's cottage is fabulous, clean, and quiet retreat. We had such a good time we didn't want to leave. Thank you Patty!

Patty is a great and fast communicator, house was as advertised nice pool, golf cart and bikes are also a great bonus. Beach access is maybe 4 blocks total easy 5 min walk even with kids. The beach access that’s near the house has free parking for golf carts. Thanks for having us and letting us bring the dogs we had a great time.

The Castaway is a lovely property. It was our first time in Destin and Crystal Beach is wonderful. The Castaway is clean, great location and the amenities made our stay even better. We loved the backyard and spent many hours relaxing by the pool and on the shaded patio. This place has everything you need and more. Loved the close proximity to the beach.

The check in was very easy. The entire property was beautiful and very clean. We also loved the location being only a couple blocks from the beach and shopping. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Darwin and Patty are so helpful and friendly and made sure that we had everything we needed. This place is an absolute gem and you will love your stay here.

This was an excellent place to go for a group of 4 people. With the golf cart, the beach is literally 2 minutes away and the private pool is a very, very nice bonus. Also, don’t bother bringing any kitchen items, including spices because the kitchen is very well stocked. Our dogs were also able to come with us, so overall a great place to stay in Destin

CastAway Cottages was beyond our expectations! We were blown away by the detailed decor and we loved the volcano scent throughout the entire cottage. They have everything you need which was the first for us to ever see. The pictures don't do CastAway Cottage justice! The private pool was amazing and we loved the 10ft. fences for privacy and the grill, beach chairs, seashore fountain, patio, and palm trees was a plus. The buggy was alot of fun to get around town and was great use of transportation. Patricia accommodated our pups and they had so much room to relax in. Even our Uncle loved Castaway. Thank you for the hospitality. :)

This home was just what our family needed ans just the right size for our family. Our twenager and pre-teen each had their own space. The living space is comfortable and super functional, kitchen is well appointed, the house is well decorated and inviting. We took our coffee on the front porch every morning and really enjoyed the pool and covered back porch every afternoon. It was extremely relaxing. The golf cart made going to the beach and some of the nearby restaurants very convenient and there is something about moving around in a golf cart that just really makes you feel like vacation. Hosts were great, great communication prior to arrival. We will definitely be back!

Everything was great. The location was unbeatable- in a nice neighborhood, close to the beach. The price was reasonable. New appliances, comfortable beds, clean linens, ample furnishings, plenty of beach towels, dishes, etc. Having the washer and dryer was a huge plus. The pool was fantastic! I gave it an overall 4 star because the bathrooms, particularly the tub/showers, really need to be updated. I would recommend it to my friends / family.

My family and I stayed at Castaway Cottage this summer and it was an amazing experience. We brought two 15 year old boys with us (first time beach goers) and they absolutely loved it. The house is quietly private and such a convienient golf cart ride to restaurants and the beach. I loved the attention to detail and the coziness of this house (even sea shell imprints in the tiles). We definitely want to return!

This was our 2 time staying at Castaway Cottage !! We love how close it is to the beach , shopping and restaurants. Love the back porch, so nice to sit there and drink your morning coffee. It is a quiet area, making it enjoyable sitting outside day or night. And the private pool is just the right size for relaxing and to get out of the sun. I am sure this is not our last stay at Castaway Cottage !! Very inviting rental, a must to rent !!

The two weeks we spent together with our small pets in this lovely cottage felt like borrowing someone's personal home. Castaway Cottage is well-appointed with quality kitchenware, plush linens, & any amenity we needed during our stay. We marveled at the thoughtful touches which felt more like luxuries rather than "rental unit" supplies i.e. sharp knives, frosted glasses in the freezer, upgraded & festive beach interior decor, scented candles. Comfy beds. Spacious. The private courtyard & pool were secluded & romantic under the stars & fun by day. We enjoyed lovely evenings outdoors on the patio grilling & reclining on the chaises. Toodling around in the pirate buggy to the beach & out for dinner was a real treat. We even got "carry-out" from Outback Steakhouse in the buggy, LOL. Several tasty places to dine within walking or buggy distance. Be sure to review the onsite tips manual. Just superb. Southern Hospitality at its finest. We WILL return.
