The house was located on a private drive and a short walk to the beach. The home was plenty big enough to house all 17 of us. We had an amazing time!

Overall the house was a great pick for a family vacation of all ages. Loved that all the bedrooms (minus the bunk bed room) had their own private bathrooms. The living area was very spacious as well!

15 family members. 7 under 10 yrs old. Family Reunion. Perfect set up. The pool was great. The golf cart was very convenient. Beaches were stunningly gorgeous. We had an amazing time. There were a couple issues, I texted, they were taken care of promptly.

Great place for large group. My family loved it, especially the pool and short walk to beach.

We’ve stayed here two consecutive years now and this house is excellent for several couples staying together due to the number of king rooms and bathrooms. Every year we take a trip with ~5 couples and 4 children and this house works perfectly. My only wish is that it was closer to the beach- but given the reasonable price and bedrooms we are likely to book again next year!

The house was big enough for all 13 of my family members to stay and have room for the week we stayed. It's conveniently located in the back of the neighborhood and the golf cart is perfect for most places you need to go. I would definitely stay here again.

We have always enjoyed coming to Destin and staying here made it even better. The house had plenty of room and we enjoyed the pool. Thank goodness for the golf cart as the beach is around a 10 minute walk. We will definitely be back

It was a beautiful place to stay and the heated pool made it even better. We had plenty of space for our large family group. We enjoyed the golf cart and being so close to everything. We have already booked with the same company next year. Thank you for having us!

The house was clean and the amenities were very nice! We loved the heated pool and outdoor area. There were plenty of towels. We loved the kids room and the fact that the other rooms all had king size beds. The golf cart was great to have too. All around it was a great stay!

The house was clean and spacious enough for the large family. The whole family enjoyed the heated pool. The outdoor space was wonderful and golf cart made trips to the beach quick and fun. One small issue when he got there was attended to promptly. Great service from the property management. We definitely enjoyed our time there and would rent again. Thanks for a great family vacation.

This place is exactly as the picture show! Located in a beautiful gated community, house is very clean and was plenty big enough for the 10 of us! Loved the pool in the back and the golf cart made it convenient to get to close by areas such as the beaches and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again! The property owner was in contact as well making sure everything was going great. Loved this home.

Exactly what we wanted - a heated pool (that was actually heated!), a clean and well-maintained home, a six-passenger golf cart, a well- equipped kitchen, and privacy. We have rented houses at least once per year for over a decade and this house is one of the best!
Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2023

The house was very nice along with the pool and golf cart. The refrigerator was very slow to make ice so we had to keep buying it. Side by side refrigerators are not big enough for that many people in one house. We also had a lot of aunts in the house.

Home beautiful, perfect for our family! Owner reachable and prompt with all needs, questions, and concerns. A dust pan would have been great- found broom but no dust pan. Was told there were two blow dryers in house but only found one. Loved the pool, outside shower, and golf cart! A drying rack on back patio would be good along with additional hooks in bathrooms. Thank you for everything! We would love to visit again!

Family vacation totalling 15 people, was secluded which we liked in the neighborhood, perfect size for kids and adults. Only recommendation is to add another refrigerator and checkin needs to be 4pm at the latest. 5pm is a late time when traveling in.

This was a great property. It was impeccably clean. The rooms were large and all of them pretty much had their own full size bathroom. You never felt cramped or on top of one another. The pool was an amazing amenity that really made the trip even more amazing. I mean who doesn’t want to be swimming in a pool at the beach with palm trees during Christmas. House listing is as exactly as described!!!

We all had so much fun! It had pretty much anything we needed! Just a few suggestions would be… have at least 1 full propane tank for grill.. there was 4 there but all were empty so we had to use stove to make our burgers and hot dogs. Pool was ‘cloudy’ half the time but did clear up after Weds when the guys treated it. We didn’t realize the construction guys would be starting their work at 7a every day but we dealt with it. Other than that, all was great and we’d definitely all stay here again in the future!

lovely home . hard to find in subdivision. located down long drive along with another house. internet did not work until last day. not good with streaming tv and 2 little kids. hard beds

Brought our adult kids and their kids in to celebrate Christmas. We had a great time, from easy access to the beach to the heated pool out back which saw lots of use. Everyone had a bedroom and plenty of space to gather and play. The house is “well loved” but extremely clean and neat. Cannot say enough good things about Travel Life Vacations, their courtesy and professionalism and ease of working with them. Their communications were very prompt and good follow through. We had a couple of minor maintenance issues which they very promptly corrected. Would recommend them for future vacations.

Terrific house with great amenities! The golf cart was a huge plus! House was clean and nicely decorated. The pool area was very private as was the location of the house itself. Quick trip to the beach. Loved the bar at the Crab Shack as well. Right on the beach. Great if you wanted to get out of the sun for awhile and enjoy an appetizer or cold brew. One thing the owner needed to fix was a shower in one of the bedrooms. The water did not get hot, so we ended up showering in the hall bathroom. Not a big deal for us, but can think of some others where it would be. Owner was notified and was in the process of rectifying. Would definitely rent this house again in the future.
