Our first family vacation after the loss of a family member. The villa was a welcomeretreat, a healing place and a party place.

This was a beautiful home with easy parking, a great location, and a nice pool that is private to the community. This was perfect for my husband and our infant daughter to go on vacation with his mother, my parents and my brother and his wife and kids. The main living area was very large which was perfect for cooking and spending time together, but when needed, everyone had their own space that was truly private and quiet. The master bedroom and bathroom was awesome! If you’ve been to the area you already know how beautiful the beaches are, but what was truly worth it was the private beach access. When driving around and exploring the area we noticed that the public beaches were jam packed with people. It was so nice to have a gated entry to a beach that was never overly crowded. I would definitely rent this property again.

This property is close to the ocean, within 2 to 3 minutes walking. I would use the ramp to the public beach instead of the code they supply, there are steps going down to the ocean for that. The public beach is nice and well cared for, not super crowded with a lifeguard present. This house has plenty of room, we had 7 adults and 2 children and it was very accommodating. There is a closet right outside the front door that has chairs, toys, umbrellas, wagon, really anything you'd need for the beach. It's a little far from some of the popular restaurants, maybe 20 minute drive, but I enjoyed being out of the main Destin crowds. Good place to stay, would recommend.

The place was great as far as location and rooms but we encountered electrical and door issues. Most of the upstairs plugs didn’t work or worked sporadically. The front door would not stay shut unless the top lock was locked. We also had issues with the freezer not keeping things frozen
