Great house with all the amenities of a condo (grills, pool, beach chairs etc). Short walk to the beach and a nice back patio. The kitchen was well stocked and the house was clean. Would recommend for a beach getaway!

Spring Break

We had a wonderful time here. The property was beautiful and the pool wasn’t overcrowded. The beach access was a very short walk and the beach service for chairs was great. Whitest, cleanest, softest sand we’ve ever seen. The house was perfect for us and had all the amenities as described. The owner was extremely responsive and respectful. Would definitely come back hand stay here.

Hidden Gem

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cottage. The location within the complex is ideal -- centrally located between two pools, sets of grills, and a close walk to the beach. The cottage had plenty of room for all of our adults, with comfortable beds and all of the amenities of home. We enjoyed evenings on the large back patio -- so peaceful and comfortable. We would definitely reserve this cottage again when visiting Miramar Beach.

Amazing Beach trip

The house was perfect for our family of 9. Beds were comfy, location was perfect, house was cozy. The only thing I would suggest is be ready to purchase toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, spices, trash bags, shampoo and soap. However, we would definitely return again!

Couldn’t Ask for Better

Our family vacation went off without a hitch! The cottage was very spacious! We had plenty of room to spread out with our families. The beach was a very easy walk across the parking lot and didn’t have to worry about climbing/descending stairs at all, my parents greatly appreciated this! Location was perfect, close to all things food and shopping! And we couldn’t have asked for a better host! He was available within a very short amount of time to answer any questions we had! Thank you again for sharing your home with us! We hope to book again next year!

Overall we really enjoyed our stay. It is a nice house located very close to the beach. The living room, kitchen and dining area was spacious enough for us all. The air conditioner worked great, but was programmed to stay at 72 degrees. That temperature was okay for downstairs but was very uncomfortable upstairs. It made sleeping up there tough. There is a washer and dryer provided in the home, but the dryer took several cycles to actually get the clothes dry.

Wonderful four bedroom home. Very spacious for the 6 of us (4 adults two children). Primary bath nicely updated with a beautiful walk-in shower. Kitchen fully stocked with just about any cookware/utensil you could need. Nice patio with plenty of seating. Conveniently located between the two pools and a short walk to the beach. This was our third time renting this home.

The reason for my rating on price was due to constant construction that is ongoing at Mainsail that created disruption in getting from the home to the main pool and beach access. The movement of construction deliveries and debris pickup happened constantly during our week stay, 2nd week in June/2026 right next to the home. The unit offers no covered parking for you auto and the master bedroom closet is locked permanently as the owners closet. The host is very responsive and corrected an issue with the HVAC system with just one call. The beach is an easy 5 minute walk from the home. There is a beach wagon with the home that makes carry chairs a lot easier.

The Drake Cottage is super convenient to everything including the beach! However, it is away from the heavy congestion of downtown Destin. The cottage was a perfect fit for our family and the proximity to the beach was awesome.

Pleasant stay.

Pleasant stay for our family with two little grandchildren. Close to the beach and walking distance to shopping center and grocery store. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and cooking pots. The actual price is higher than what is advertised as it also includes other fees such as cleaning, service and tax.

Disappointed

This was a last minute rescheduling due to hurricane Sally, but based on the reviews on VRBO I had higher expectations. The location was not terrible, a short walk to the beach. We did have a complimentary beach chair and umbrella set up and the young man taking care of that was extremely kind and helpful. But the main complaints that both I, and my entire party, had were, #1 The thermostat is locked and will not cool below 72 degrees. It is warm and humid even in September and we were all hot throughout the night. My husband and I even ended up at Ace hardware purchasing electric fans for the upstairs bedrooms because no one could sleep with the temperature upstairs. #2 is the old, worn out, uncomfortable mattresses in all of the bedrooms. I was so embarrassed, because I was the one who had booked this property. But every single bed needs to be replaced. #3 The people that work in the security gate were very rude. They tried to tell us we couldn't have 4 vehicles for our rental, after the owner had already said that we could. #4 The stove heats up the entire downstairs area while cooking and the refrigerator doors don't close well. #5 Our group decided to go to the smaller pool to take our 2 yr grandson to swim. There had not been a single person at this pool for 2 days, but within 10 minutes of our family getting into the pool, 2 HOA members show up and watch our every move for about 30 minutes. One makes a phone call and then they both get up and leave the pool area. So I guess that we passed their inspection. One more thing, I noticed another review had said how incredibly clean the floors were, but that was not what we experienced. I honestly hate to leave bad reviews, but I DO read reviews and base my decision to rent a property based on other renters experiences. I am still wondering how the previous reviews were so extremely opposite of what we experienced. We all have different opinions, but I can honestly say that I would never stay here again.

Location is key and this property hits the target. Short walk to the beach and shops needed such as Winn Dixie are right down the road. Chris was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Nothing negative to say about The Drake!

Great location and home

Very nice home with many updates. The master bathroom was very large and nice. The house was very close to beach as well as many places to shop. We Loved their was an Alvin’s Beach store and Dollar store within a 5 min walk, outlets were across the road. Also the kids loved how close Chick-fil-A was. When we go back to this area I would stay here again. The only problem was it was so beautiful we all got way to much sun.
