Property owners are excellent. We experienced a moderately rainy week, but found other things to do. A lot to do within walking distance. House is well equipped with everything you need! The neighbors are charming & welcoming. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in Destin.

What a lovely home! Comfortable and clean, and just the perfect size for our family. A short walk to the beach that even our 4 year old could manage. We loved the reserved chairs and umbrella and Crystal Beach was beautiful, just like the pictures. We had a great week at Leap of Faith!

Family of 7 (5 adults, 2 kids). Leap of faith is just as describe in the Vrbo. A very nice, well maintained- clean cottage. Very well equipped, not only inside but also for the beach accessories like beach car and even toys, which is very convenient with kids. The common area is big and comfortable. Walk to the beach was nice, not that far ( a block and half aprox). Overall, we were very happy with our stay and we would definitely consider staying here again. Thanks to Kathy for being so responsive and the recomendations and instructions included in the welcome email.

We spent a week here and it was perfect! The house was very clean and as advertised. The living area (kitchen & living room) was quite a bit bigger than what we expected, which was wonderful. Our fist day there, my son locked us out of the master bedroom. I called Kathy (property manager) who was there within 5 minutes to unlock the door; I was surprised how quick her response was and how friendly she was. The location is also perfect -we could walk to the beach and were also very close to restaurants and shopping. We'll definitely try to book this house again.

Relaxing family stay
The house was exactly as described. The amount of space was perfect for our family of 5. You could definitely stay there with more people but for us the amount of room was perfect. The wrap around porch was perfect for relaxing from a long day.
The beach was super close. Around a 5 minute walk. The umbrella and chair set up was amazing. Didn't matter if you were late getting to the beach...you still had a spot reserved. Right in the front row. After the beach my kids loved to hit the pool...which was about 4 houses down from our house.
The traffic going to Fort Walton was super busy but to be expected in Destin. It seems to always be busy.
Thanks again for the great place. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great house in a super quiet neighborhood.

Great Cozy Beach House Central to So Much!
We had a great stay at Leap of Faith. The house was incredibly clean and organized which made it very easy to slip into the relaxation of vacation mode. The front and back porch were both very nice for just chilling with a cup of coffee or glass of wine.
The location was also top notch. The beach is a short and easy walk which and it was central to so much. Walgreens, Publix, Whole Foods, and World of Wine were all within easy walking distance or a short drive if you're getting more.
If I had one minor complaint it would be around the included things like dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent, and toilet paper. We love cooking, so we ate in quite a bit. We went through the detergent quite quick. We also ran out of toilet paper quickly. I can understand not putting in an unlimited supply, but 2 packs of detergent and 2 rolls of toilet paper seems a little low for a 5 night stay. Oh well, Walgreens was super close.
Definitely recommend.

First I want to say from the booking process to leaving you could not have asked for better communication between us and the owner. If there was a question or concern, Kathy answered us within 15-30 minutes. Don't think you could have expected anymore from the owner. She was always very pleasant and helpful, starting from before we arrived. Even though we had been to a different rental the year before, she provided alot more information on things to do while we were there. Since this visit was just for my wife and I, the beach and the pool were all we really needed. We ate out dinner most nights and Kathy suggestion of where we might like to go, were helpful. Our favorite was "Rockin Tacos" The rental was very clean and easy to access. The neighorhood is very quiet and only 1 1/2 blocks from the beach. A relaxing 7-10 minute walk. The beach chair set up Kathy provided was nice when we used it. But the best part of our stay was just sitting on the porch at different times of the day and taking the things we take for granted each day because of our busy lives. Would recommend "Leap of Faith" to anyone looking for a place to stay and relax. Even though we only used one of the three bedrooms, the bed was very comfortable as well as the living room furniture. Thanks again Kathy for all you did to make our stay as enjoyable as it was. We will be back in the future.

Fantastic Crystal Beach Cottage
This is a fantastic little cottage! Plenty of room for our family of 7. Proximity to beach, shopping & grocery stores was wonderful! Kitchen was one of the best stocked in terms of small appliances & utensils we've ever had! Cart, outdoor shower & hooks, and included "beach service" made trips to the beach with kids SO much easier!! Pool & beach we're both a short walk away. And the front porch was a great place to sit & relax after a long day with family. Thanks so much for sharing your lovely home!!

Leap of Faith Cottage
Our stay at Leap of Faith cottage was very nice. Very clean property and nice neighborhood. The pool was only two houses down and the beach about 2 blocks from it. They furnished a beach cart which definately came in handy. The communication with the owners was excellent. Wish they wld have furnished a couple of bicycles that wld have been great but overall our stay was wonderful. Would definately rent from them again. Thanks Mike and Kathy for the great place!!
