Salt life!!!
Beautiful area, easy access to beach and other amenities. Recommend using water taxi to the harbor. Also, 2 stop snorkeling with destin snorkle on the harbor. Lulu's was definitely our favorite restaurant.

Nice, but needs a little TLC
I love the sunlight but there is no sunlight in the room, windows were covered and when I opened the front room curtains the window was covered with condensation, windows were not in good shape. Could use a little TLC. We took a small dog, association charged us yet another fee upon our arrival. Small but pleasant. Pools were wonderful. Surrounding Area was great!

Destin Stay
This property was everything we needed for our short weekend in Destin and at a very reasonable price point for all the amenities included. The studio is in a secure community and was very clean and neatly set up, plus included a driveway parking spot. There were many pools in the neighborhood and the private beach access was a short walk across the street. We also walked to coffee every morning and were a short drive to a lot of kid friendly attractions. The restaurant in the neighborhood had great food! Only improvement I would recommend is the shower water pressure; it may have been changeable, but I couldn’t reach the shower head to find out. Host was very responsive and we would definitely look to stay here again in the future.

Home away from home
We loved our cozy little cottage and had everything we needed! Met a lot of nice people and had fun playing pickle ball almost every day! The beach was gorgeous! We hope to visit again next year!

Surf Shack
Overall it was a cute condo to stay for a couple days, but they were trying to sell the condo and the agent came by super late at night around 7, when he was supposed to be there at 4:30. He wanted to take a video of the place which we were uncomfortable with because our belongings were in there and if it wasn’t for my boyfriend getting up when we saw him at the door, he would’ve came right in which if I would’ve been there by myself as a female, that isn’t ok.

Great experience
Stayed with my husband, a 6month old and a 4yo. Before booking I inquired about a crib or pack and play which wasn't available but the host purchased one right the way. There were beach chairs available, beach towels, beach toys, an umbrella (shared with upstairs guests), a wagon that we used every day throughout our stay to take our disabled 4yo to the beach. Everything as described. We were hesitant to book at 1st because there were no reviews, but we're happy we went ahead with it. The property is at 1st floor with no stairs, which was perfect for us. Everything as described. The host responded promptly whenever contacted. Overall a great experience. I'd recommend this property.
