Where do I begin… the pics are just a tad bit misleading. Starting with shrubbery and bushes outside; hide the wildlife like snakes and such. And will tend to cut you leading to and from the pool.

Great stay!
My family and I had an awesome week here! The location was easy to get to the beach (though the closest beach access is quite small) and the pool was perfect, we swam everyday! Loved being able to bring our dog as well. Thanks for a great home away from home!

Do NOT Rent This Property – Filthy, Unsafe, and Full of LiesOur family was so excited to vacation in Destin, Florida with 10 other families who also booked homes through VRBO. What should have been a magical week turned into one of the worst vacation experiences of our lives. And we paid a premium, expecting quality and peace of mind. What we got was complete chaos, deception, and zero accountability.Here’s just a fraction of what went wrong:•The home was disgusting upon arrival. The pool was filthy. The yard was overgrown and filled with dog feces. The gazebo had trash in it. The whole exterior looked like it hadn’t been maintained in months.•Inside was even worse. The beds were dirty. One trundle bed had six layers of sheets stacked on it—each one more stained and filthy than the last. The furniture was not as pictured. The couches were smaller and cheaper, and the kitchen table was missing the bench seat shown in the listing, only offering 4 chairs.•The listing advertised a screened-in porch. That was a complete lie. There was no screened-in porch anywhere on the property. We felt misled and scammed from the moment we arrived.Staff behavior and disregard for safety was outrageous:•The pool guy literally kicked our belongings around the backyard as he “cleaned,” and when he noticed I was watching, he rolled his eyes and continued. He left the pool dirty.•This is a pet-friendly rental, yet people were coming and going constantly without notice. Gates wer

The house, pool, and location were all very good. However, we had issues with the cleanliness of the floor, a bedspread, and small maintenance issues. The bedspread and the maintenance issues were taken care of by the management company. As to the floor, we purchased cleaning supplies and took care of it ourselves. One issue that could not be corrected was a screen porch that was listed in the description. There was no screen porch and this was a disappointment to us. The kitchen was well supplied and start up supplies were appreciated.

Not as listed
The property was very run down. The reality of the property does not match the pictures. The backyard landscaping was over grown and when the lawn people came they blew dirt and grass all in the pool. The pool toys that were there had black mold all over them. The outdoor shower had very low water pressure. The concrete needs power washed and is just dirty. The inside of the house has dirty floors, the toilet upstairs leaked through the ceiling into the laundry room which has a hole in the ceiling. The can lights in the kitchen did not work. We loved the quiet location and neighborhood but the house just did not live up to the pictures. They also didn’t even have a broom in the house to sweep the floors throughout the week.

Pictures of the house are not accurate!
The home looked really nice online, but when we arrived it was dirty the sheets on the bed looked like they weren’t changed we found hair and stains. The master bathroom also was awful hair in the shower walls, the water wouldn’t go down as quick. Not worth the money you pay. House very old! I called the manger and they didn’t want to refund our money instead they sent somebody to clean again but it looks like they just changed the sheets.

Great location
This house was very close to the beach and other attractions. The place was very spacious. This is an older home so it had that old smell and could have been a little cleaner. We have a baby that crawls so we bought a swifter at Walmart when we arrived to clean the floors and it was pretty dirty. Overall we had a good stay.

Overall nice stay
This property is clean, cozy and good location to beaches. However, it does not come with any essentials. No toilet paper, no beach towels, no beach chairs, no dishwasher detergent, no hand soap. Just be prepared to buy all of those things upon landing. Also, a pool person randomly comes to clean and manage the pool without any type of warning. Overall was a nice house with a nice pool.

Great house
We loved the house and the location. The fenced backyard was great for my little dog and the pool was clean and wonderful. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to cook, and it also had a coffee maker AND a Keurig. Perk for the coffee lover. Only 2 downsides of the house for us, but not deal breakers...One of the bedrooms had 4 twin size beds (a bunk bed with a pull out trundle and one single twin) that are really only suitable for kids. Bring your own blankets too! And the dining table is in the center of the kitchen which makes maneuvering around the kitchen a little tight. Other than those 2 things, we really enjoyed our stay.
