Family Vaca

Amazing home!!! Tons of space for all 9 of us - 6 adults and 3 kids. So nice that each bedroom on the 2nd floor had a king bed and attached private bath. Short walk to the beach and right across the street from the pool! FYI… you cannot bring your own shade canopy or umbrellas to the beach since it is private. We called ahead to make a reservation with Sun, Sand and Sea and all was set up for us every morning. This can be costly but super convenient! My Vacation Haven was very responsive when I called with any questions or concerns. Felt very safe in this beautiful gated neighborhood... we let the kids ride their bikes throughout. Security was helpful and friendly. Thank you for a great family vacation!

Great family time

Our home was very clean, amenities were wonderful, location was 1 block away from the private beach. The pool & hot tub were across from our house. We would definitely recommend this home. We celebrated Thanksgiving with all three of our married children and a 1 yr old grandchild. Plenty of room to co-exist, kitchen was well equipped to make a Thanksgiving feast.

Great Location and Size

The home was perfect for our two families. One family of 5 and the other of 3. We were an easy, short walk to the beach and felt secluded by the private community. Neighbors are friendly too! The house had everything we needed and then some!

GREAT WEEK!

Beautiful house in a beautiful gated community. Had never been to the Destin area but I'm ready to go back. The house was just as nice as in the photos. It had everything we wanted and was well stocked with what we needed to "cook-in" all week. The convenience to the amazing beach was a plus and coffee on the 2nd floor balcony, with a view of the Gulf, was a great way to start every day.

Great location

Great location- since house is at the end of the block you can see down to the beach. It was a little chilly in March so we were disappointed that the fireplace was non working. The rest of the home was perfect and met all of our needs.
