Amazing stay!

Our trip was so amazing! The owners have literally thought of everything! Location was great! So close to the beach and the golf court was a huge hit with our littles! The pool was amazing too and house was so clean with literally everything you could think of (even silverware for the littles). Thank you for a seamless and unforgettable trip!

What a wonderful home!! It was the perfect space for my husband and I with our two adult children, their spouses and our 3 grandchildren of various ages. The backyard with the patios and pool was our favorite place to gather and taking the golf cart to the very close beach was a highlight for the kids. Destin is beautiful and this house was ideal. It had everything you could want. I highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at Blue Starfish! The house is just as described. Our family of 10 had lots of room. The house was clean, well stocked & the back yard was great with a pool, golf putting green, lounge chairs, grill, and outdoor tv! Super! Lots of accessories for the beach & a golf cart! We visit a beach each July for a family vacation and this was one of our best!

Perfect Space for 6 adults, 5 kids

This house is in the perfect spot for an easy, relaxing trip to Destin. Tucked inside a quiet neighborhood, just steps from the beach is a perfect get away - jump in the golf cart and you'll be there in 30 seconds. Cart is perfect for runs to Publix, Starbucks, ice cream and plenty of dining options as well. Loved the giant table for everyone to eat together. And the outdoor bathroom was a huge plus; full bathroom for showers after the pool/beach. Super spacious, super convenient, and certainly a space that we would stay again.

This home is exactly like the pictures, the home is beautiful and nicely decorated. They go above and beyond with basic needs/3 rolls of tp in every bathroom/kitchen stocked with anything you can think of as well. Beds were so comfy, hosts were easy to reach as well. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and located close to adorable little restaurants and beaches! We did a lot of relaxing playing cards as just enjoying a little sunshine!!! Thank you for having us! We would def stay again!!!!

AMAZING!

Before we even got here, we were contacted by Robert and Kourtney to let us know that it was ready early. Their responses are so quick. What is there not to love about this house?! It’s huge, very clean, has Soooo much stuff to use. I love when the houses are supplied with more than just basics. We always stay at a different house in Destin each year, but this is the one we would stay at every year! The best part? Watching tv outside on the patio while the kids are swimming. The pool was clean and there’s a putting green as well!
