Beautiful property, very clean (I’m a clean freak and wiped down the whole house, light switches, furniture and all and didn’t find much dirt) , property manager Alex was amazing and stayed in constant communication with me. Location was perfection, on the beach, near a snorkeling spot where the water is shallow and still like a pool for young kids, restaurants were all nearby. Our only issues were the gates to the beach entrances had rusted and malfunctioning but were repaired during our visit. The living room furniture, dining/bar seats, and patio furniture have some wear and tear stains that need tending to. Of note, there are lots of stairs and the stairs to the beach are steep, so not for disabled or very out of shape people, and could be a bit dangerous for little kids. Overall, the neighborhood(luxury gated community), check in, management, decor, beach and beach service ( complimentary 4chairs and umbrellas set up each morning) were all fabulous, and I highly recommend this place

Our family spent an unforgettable week at this beautiful oceanfront beach house, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The home was clean, spacious and fully equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The balcony quickly became our favorite spot. We loved sitting out there every morning, soaking in the view of the sparkling water, and each evening watching the breathtaking sunsets.The gated community made us feel secure and private, and having access to multiple pools in addition to the beach gave us the perfect mix of fun and relaxation for the whole family.A special thanks to Alex, our guest liaison with Modern Beach, who went above and beyond to make our stay seamless. His detailed guide made arrival stress-free, and he was always quick to respond whenever we had a question. His attentiveness truly elevated the experience.This home is the perfect choice for anyone seeking a peaceful, family-friendly beachfront getaway. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

Great house at a great location in Destin. The home being right on the beach can't be beat...quick/easy access to the beach via a short walk over the private walkway. When not on the beach, could enjoy the views and sound of the waves from the back deck. Home had plenty of space and came well supplied in many ways including kitchen needs and beach toys.Great communication with the property management firm. No complaints...would rent again.

Beautiful place

We loved staying at the Salty Dawg, you cannot beat the location! It was comfortable for all ages.Just a couple suggestions … and we know there are new owners… more towels … it sleeps 12 which we had… more bath towels and beach towels would have been great … additional garbage cans in the basement would be nice., also window coverings in the lower level.. since the littles were down there.. would would love to stay here again all and all amazing
