Very nice property with heated pool (65 per day) in gated area of Destin a couple of blocks from the beach. Overlooks lake. Well stocked kitchen. Artificial turf rather than real grass so need to walk pets across the street to relieve themselves. Wifi/Internet was unreliable. Pool light was not operable.

The home was very clean. The layout, pool, and proximity to the beach were perfect for our family. The view from the pool/deck was beautiful. We had a small issue with getting the correct code to get through the front gate but the host was very quick to respond and accommodating. We very much enjoyed our stay!

It was great to spend time on this property in Destin. The property was clean and convenient to local stores. We had a great time with family and friends during our stay. I hope to be back sometime soon. Thank you, Johny, for your quick response to our needs. One minor thing - an extra roll of toilet paper for each bathroom would be helpful.

Issues

I have communicated with Johnny and was very disappointed in his comments. The deck in the picture looks nothing like it was. It needed a lot of repairs, boards and nails were sticking up. the fence that was attached to the wall was pulling away and seemed dangerous. The patio door off the pool into the kitchen area we could never get it to lock. We used a broom to keep us safe. The track on the patio door look like it had never been cleaned and was very difficult to open and close. The drapes in the dining room were very old and had holes in the sheers. There were a swarm of sand flees in the corner by the drapes in the dining room. The bathrooms had running toilets. No kleenex and only one roll of paper towels for an entire week. The picture on line showed bicycles in the garage, there were none just a ping pong table. The access to the beach was nice and we used that everyday. I felt for a 5 star VRBO it need a lot of work. Not a place I would stay again for the money. Over rated for the price and not even in season yet.

Fun for everyone!

This house has everything you could want for a fun family vacation. Our two families, kids from 10-18 fit very comfortably and the property had something for everyone. So easy to walk to and from the private beach with use of the beach wagon, extra chairs, boogie boards and sand toys. The outdoor space is perfect for playing in the pool or relaxing, plenty of outdoor furniture options in the sun or shade. Fishing off the deck and ping pong kept kids entertained for hours. Gas grill and fire pit were a plus as well.
