Maybe consider adding some essential cooking spices in the future. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
The place is more spacious than shown in the pictures, big bedroom, big bathroom, lots of towels. The backyard overlook the lake was extremely relaxing, def book this place if we visit Destin again in the future.
