The house was perfect for our large family. I also loved that it had everything we needed in kitchen such as coffee makes, utensils and two air fryers. I loved that check out was such an easy process and we only had a small check list.

My husband and I rented this beautiful home for a week with our grown kids and their families. It was the perfect place. Very clean, the hosts are quick to respond and very friendly and accommodating. So nice to have the pool so close and the trolley service to the beach is so easy! The neighborhood was very pretty as well. Great time at a great place!

This was an amazing place to spend our vacation! My boyfriend and I brought all of our adult children and their significant others. Our first blended family vacation. There were 8 of us total. I was worried about the distance to the beach but it was an easy walk. The beach shuttle was always available but we usually chose to walk. The beach wagon and cooler on wheels were something we used everyday! We could walk from the beach to restaurants. We did not get a car but Uber’ed anywhere we needed to go. Destin commons shopping area was within walking distance. We cooked lots of dinners but also enjoyed the local restaurants. Even without reservations we only waited about 15 minutes. Crab trap, back porch and beauchamps were our favorites. We did crab island and a sunset dolphin cruise. What an amazing vacation. The house is absolutely beautiful! So comfortable and each couple had lots of privacy. Great kitchen, well equipped and we really enjoyed the patios and pool. We will be back!

We hosted a mini family reunion with ages from 2-87. There was space for everyone. The pool was great. Proximity to the beach was great. Simple things like overstocked plates, silverware, and cookware was a top tier surprise. We would stay here again. All pros. Few if any cons. Hosts suuuuper responsive.

Melanie and Jason were great hosts--I don't think I've ever had ones that replied so quickly and communicated so well. The house was perfect for our family vacation of 11 adults. We all enjoyed the proximity to the pool, walking distance to the beach and also to shops and restaurants. We did find the short drive and $6 parking fee at the state park to be worth it for the bathrooms and smaller crowd on the beach there. We would love to go back someday!

WORTH EVERY PENNY!! This has been the best stay we’ve ever had! The space is perfect! The hosts are so kind and thoughtful!! They even had games delivered to us! I can’t say enough about how phenomenal this trip has been. Huge thank you for Melanie & Jason for helping us make some of the best family memories we’ve had yet! 🫶🏼
