House was great. Very close to the beach. Owner was very accommodating with our flight times. House had plenty of room for the whole extended family.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
We had a slight problem at the cabana house and Beach Rental moved us within an hour and half after us contacting them. This is the time my entire family of 14 of us get together and enjoy down time and family time. We had a great vacation and made plenty of memories.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Mar 2025
We stayed for spring break. We had 9 adults and 5 kids. The house was perfect with a perfect location. The house came with a golf cart which was a nice perk. It would have been a lot better if the pool was heated because the spring temps at night it was cold and the ocean was cold. You could pay to have the pool heated but wasn't sure the cost was worth it. The communication from Beach Reunion was absolutely great. I would not hesitate to stay here or in any of their properties.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Apr 2025
This home is in a great location. Short walk to beach. There were definitely some updates that this home needs. We had issues with the pool heater for 1/2 of our trip. So had to call and get someone out there to fix it. Overall Destin was a great place to vacation. Wouldn’t recommend this home if you’re looking for luxurious or super clean. Just needs updates and the furniture was quite worn. Beds were comfortable though.
