Area Attractions:
Grand Boulevard Town Center is a pedestrian-friendly, shopping and dining complex just off Emerald Coast Parkway, convenient to both Sandestin and Miramar Beach. For the high-end shopper, the center offers a number of boutiques, and dining options.
If you are near Miramar Beach, the snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Dolphin Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 685 feet straight out from the Miramar Regional Public Beach access (by Pompano Joe's), it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Dolphin Reef is at a depth of 12-20 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Everything was great/ clean however I suggest that you offer more cleaning supplies such as tissue, dish soap ect. But I would still give a positive response. Love the location.
We had a large group of varied ages. The house was beautiful, there were things to do for everyone, and communication was excellent. Overall fantastic stay.
This was our first time in the Destin area and we loved it. We are already looking to book again in the near future. The house was clean, in a great location and everyone was friendly. We had plenty of space for the whole family, plenty of cooking utensils, dishes, etc. It was absolutely amazing!
This is a beautiful cottage and community. It is so well maintained. They keep the grounds of the community beautiful. I have never seen any trash or debris anywhere. I feel totally safe here. People are very friendly and helpful. Everything has been great! I would recommend this home to anyone.
House was nice , other rentals said they were given 2 comp chairs at the beach and golf carts were included in the rental and that would have been so nice, but we still had fun.
The place was perfect for my partner and I and our 5 kids!! The location was optimal, the house was clean, and it was set up perfectly for our family—2 adults in the master, 1 teenager in the spare, and 4 7 and unders in the bunk bed room—exactly what we needed!!
From the initial booking to the on-going communication leading up to our stay, this was great! Even on the day of our check in, I received communication with gate and door codes. I would definitely recommend this property to friends and family!
