The place was a great fit for our group of 10, and was exactly as listed. Very spacious and good layout. Communication with property manager was fast and easy.
Excellent location, literally walk to private beach. House is great. Everything we needed including the pool. Very spacious and comfortable.

Needs updating
The property seems to have foundation issues. Floor bows in kitchen and top floor bathroom. Its a nice place, just a little updating would be nice. Biggest complaint was the roaches. Owner did have someone spray asap but still disappointing. House is a small walk from beach, which is wonderful!
Very nice property! Very spacious living space in this home! Lots of bed spaces! Very close to the beach access and close to all restaurants and entertainment in Destine. Family of 16 had a wonderful time in Destine!
Pros: The location to the beach is excellent. John, the host is easy to reach and responds quickly. The neighborhood is clean and quiet. It's located close to the water park, shops and lots of good restaurants. The house has 2 beach chair and an umbrella set up for you daily. You can bring your own chairs as well but no other umbrellas. There are lots of balconies to sit out on. Small pool but big enough to lounge in.Cons: The house is very dated and needs some repairs. The kitchen floor should be looked at considering there's a noticeable spongy, dip in front of the refrigerator. The appliances are dated & cheap. You can see daylight around the front door when it's closed because it isn't sealed. All the shower doors squeak so loud you can hear them out into the hallways. The master shower drain cover is not secured. By the pool, the grass is grown up in the pavers, the grill is old and the outside fridge is completely rusted out. The furniture looks like it came from a second hand store and piece milled together with whatever is left over from a yard sale. The ONE hairdryer in the house looks 20 years old. There was dirt under the downstairs table. NO cleaning supplies, just enough left for one dishwasher load. We had to buy TP & paper towels. Excessive notes throughout the house with rules. I know I sound nit-picky but at this price point, we expected far better. Little things matter. A little effort would make a big difference.
Clean home with lots of room. Good communication for check in process and minor issues that did not impact our stay. Contact responded to issue quickly even when it wasn’t necessary. Would stay again!
Wonderful experience. The house was clean and Spacious. Very well stocked with dishes, towels and bedding. The pool was great for the kids in the evening. The extra refrigerator made a world of difference with our large group. Great location, close to everything. No complaints at all. Would definitely recommend.
Great location. The house layout was nice, but the house could use some upgrades and repairs. We didnt have very many towels and wish we would have packed more because our group had to wash towels through our stay. We would have liked more info on beach and what we can take down there and the fees for umbrella and chair rentals. We had a great time. Overall. Thanks

Our Week @ Katrina
We had a total of 12 people 8 of which were children. We had an excellent time. The property was beautiful, the beach is extremely close. Had nearly everything we needed. The AC on the first floor was not working when we arrived. We called John and he had a repair man out in 30 mins and it was fixed right away. It was a fun relaxing weekend . We also had the luck of catching the Destin seafood festival which was awesome.

Nice size
Great size home for our family vacation. Just felt the home was a bit beat up and not maintained well. Main bath shower handle broken off- maint tech stopped to check it stating yep not sure how he’d fix that? What??? Just needed some everyday maint such as light bulbs out everywhere, weeds at pool… but all and all nice vacation.
We had a great stay at this house. A few things I would note: 1) super important - the pool is not heated. Unfortunately we were not able to get in the water at all during our stay, 2)there are only 2 beach chairs provided at the beach and you're not allowed to bring your own. Additional chairs are 40 for the day each, so pretty pricey, 3)) the entertainment system wasn't working at the house, so you'll need to bring your own Bluetooth speaker or use the TV sound if you want to play anything. 4) there weren't many trash bags or toilet paper provided, for a large house and only 4 days we ran out quickly.Other than that, the beach nearby is very convenient and access and beautiful! The decor/ home is very dated if that's something you care about, but the beds are comfortable and the management team is quick to respond for your needs.

Destin Beach house
Overall- great experience and house was excellent. We are very particular, I will start with the pros:
- the house is gorgeous inside and out. Also- the house was very clean. Most pet friendly houses that we have previously rented are not as clean.
-location is spot on; we spend so much time on the beach and it's such an easy walk and the beach is private as well as very wide. (nice touch having 2 chairs that come with the house)
- Safe, it's in a gated community, very quiet; we have teens that we felt very comfortable letting them come and go on their own
- Huge- the house is gigantic; we only had 7 people and did not even use the bottom floor.
- the kitchen is well equipped with everything that you will need.
- Living room is spacious and has plenty of comfortable seating for everyone
Cons:
- our biggest complaint was the blinds in the bedrooms; one particular bedroom the shades are half broken and a ton of light goes through the window (it's hard to sleep in). Even in the other bedrooms, so much light. This nice of a house needs room darkening shades
- A few general maintenance needs to be done- the rails going go to the house need to be tightened and a lot of light bulbs are burned out.
-We didn't use the pool, but walked out to the pool area and it was a mess with beer cans everywhere. Pool was a mess- but we didn't use or let the management know ahead of them that we wanted to use the pool- so we can't really complain about this. Cleaning crew does need to clean up the pool area before new guest arrive
This is not a con for us, because we are always competing with each other on who in the family gets the most steps- but be aware of the steps to get into the house. Lots and lots of steps- but that means more activity level. Overall- this was an excellent house and we would recommend this house. Thank you for sharing your georgrous house with our family!

Review of property rental in Destin "Katrina"
Overall, our 1 week stay in the rental house called "Katrina" was great, and if we were to return to the area we would likely rent the house again. That being said, there were a few issues we encountered.
We arrived to the property at the scheduled check-in time, and the house cleaners were still there. They left within 20 minutes and repeatedly said, "we did our best" but explained that there had been a large party of girls staying there over the weekend. We didn't feel the house was completely clean and it was ; there were bits of trash on the kitchen table and living room table, 2 of the trash cans were not empty (though not all that full). There was barely any toilet paper in the house; we had to immediately go out and buy several rolls. We also had to buy paper towels for the kitchen, dish soap, and there were zero garbage bags. As rental-property owners ourselves, these are items that the owner typically provides so that guests do not have to purchase these day-to-day necessities. The remote control for the tv in the living room was missing; we were informed that one was being "over-nighted" to the property. We did not receive the remote until 2 days prior to our departure, and it didn't work once it arrived. There were workers present throughout the duration of our stay working on laying tile on the front porch, rendering the front porch completely unusable which doesn't seem like a big deal, but this meant there wasn't a balcony our whole family could sit on in the evenings listening to the ocean which is one of our favorite vacation activities. We were informed prior to our arrival that the crew would be there, but it was a pesky annoyance to have them there every day. We had to keep the blinds closed to the front porch where they were working and the crew parked in the driveway. We were not able to adjust the thermostat on the main level, and it got way too warm at times! The temperature of the house should absolutely be under the control of the guests. We needed a rocking chair for our 7 month old but there is not one at the property. This is not something easily transported from out-of-state where we visited from and it would have been easy for the owner to provide an inexpensive one.
All in all, the pros outweigh the cons. The interior is very nice, the description of the property and photos are accurate. The owner was very accessible to answer any questions. Definitely recommend the house. Visit GUSU for standup paddleboard tours!
Todo estuvo bien fueron 2 años consecutivos de rentar la misma casa el único problema fue que no llegaba el aire acondicionado suficiente tuvimos mucho calor habían ventiladores pero no era suficiente si arreglaran ese problema estaría todo mejor

Large but needs TLC
Needs closer attention to cleaning, linens and conditions of furnishings. Less in your face behavior rules. Too many notes on bulletin boards
Property was exceptionally clean upon arrival. Pool area was great to have. Easy walk to a beautiful beach. Only caution: LOTS of steep stairs. We had a few elderly in the group who had some difficulty navigating, but they all had a great time regardless.
We loved the property and the support we received from the property management. Beach access was wonderful and the home is fairly well maintained. Overall the house is very nice. However, some small items like broken blinds, dresser drawer knobs that fall off and need replacement and excessive furniture wear /tear (upstairs desk chair cushion torn) were our only discrepancies. My only really negative comment comes regarding the back yard and gas grill. The back yard landscaping, patio area, and patio furniture need cleaning. The bottom of the gas grill is completely rusted out and only half of the burners work, making it very difficult to use.
Overall, we had a great time and our family of 12 thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It’s a great location and we plan on coming back.
