Had a wonderful time with the family. House was wonderful and the pool was awesome. Might want to look into who is used for cleaning. When we got there, we found several empty and half-full plastic Gator-Aid bottles under the couch and beds. Looks like they had been there for a while. Also, the linen and towels were still in the dryer from the previous rental. Not a problem. We are perfectly capable of folding towels. One thing that was disappointing was the amount of private beach available for us. It was very small and trying to pack in as many people that were there for vacation was difficult. If AvantStay could give me a call I would like to discuss future rental and another issue of importance. Otherwise, your not going to find a better l

We stayed at the Destin Dolphin over fall break with our family. It is an amazing beach house, literally just 200 steps from the sand. One of our favorite things about the house was the amazing backyard setup with the pool, hammocks, outdoor grill and bar area, etc. There are also so many beds to accommodate guests. I would definitely recommend. We can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely beautiful property!! We really enjoyed our stay here. There’s definitely plenty of room and the beach is a very short walk. The pool and grill area was perfect!!
