Our family ABSOLUTELY LOVED this BEAUTIFUL home! The LOCATION was PERFECT for going to the OUTLET SHOPS and GROCERY STORES and RESTAURANTS! We could see the BEAUTIFUL BLUE WATER and WHITE SAND from the house! LOVED having an elevator that was so quiet and smooth for my elderly parents. The pool with waterfalls was so nice to hear even though we didn’t go swimming or use the hot tub it was soothing to just hear the waterfalls.LOVED having access to the 6 person GO CART to ride to the short drive to the beach. The owner Mr. Jim was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME caring for us! The whole booking process was WONDERFUL! Vanessa was GREAT too! Plenty of seating and room to get around in the home especially for elderly ones with walkers. We would LOVE to go back again. THANK YOU for making our trip a WONDERFUL one.

Needs a lot of maintenance

Good location but needs a closer beach access. This house needs a lot of things fixed and remodeled. Wouldn’t recommend until it has been properly taken care of by the owner. Property management company was very responsive but couldn’t fix the things I that needed fixed immediately. A lot of work needs to be done on this house.

Great stay

Great location. Management was extremely responsive. Plenty of room for large groups. Spa looks as if it was a hot tub at one point. It only stays the same temperature as the pool and jets do not work, but it wasn’t an issue as it was hot outside. Overall very nice property.

Friends Trip

We had an enjoyable trip to Destin. Overall, the home was good. However, multiple ice makers weren’t in working condition, the pool was dirty, hot water was lacking for a house of its size, 2/3 bbq grills were in working condition, & very little refrigerator space for a house of its size. I would highly recommend a guest bringing blankets to add to the beds.

Spread out, relax by the pool and enjoy the gulf view!

The property is one of the best houses and locations in the Destiny East gated community. Large home with first floor space to entertain and use the pool and deck. Second floor has large kitchen, sitting space and outdoor grill/seating. We had three families and were able to spread out with 16 people. Be advised you need to bring all paper goods, soaps and beach towels. We had the pool heated, and it was well worth it. Would return again to this property.

Beach Vacation

This property is beautiful and located in viewing and short walking distance to the ocean. The rooms were nice and spacious, the kitchen was accommodating for our giant family, and we all got to enjoy the pool by the third day of our stay. Our only complaint was that the pool was not checked on our heated like we requested and paid for until the third day

Over the Top was exactly that for me and my family!

This property is beautiful and has every cooking utensil or appliance you need to use in preparing dishes for your friends and family. Cleaning crew needs to pay attention to dusting better on fans and bathroom mirrors. There were a few little things that need repair like a leg on a kitchen chair, toilet holder in third floor bathroom. Also, both both gas grills that are pictured are not working, in fact one is completely gone on the second floor outside of the kitchen
