Very nice property with heated pool (65 per day) in gated area of Destin a couple of blocks from the beach. Overlooks lake. Well stocked kitchen. Artificial turf rather than real grass so need to walk pets across the street to relieve themselves. Wifi/Internet was unreliable. Pool light was not operable.
