Family Vacation

The property was beautiful and had everything we needed for the week! Kitchen was well stocked so that we could make meals at home when we didn’t want to eat out. We loved the fact it was just a short walk to the amazing white sand beach with crystal clear water! The location was also close to shopping, which made it nice for my oldest to walk to if he didn’t want to hangout with his parents at the beach. We definitely plan to return in the future!

Slice of heaven

An apt name for the house. Very comfortable, clean, and a well stocked kitchen with plenty of utensils and dish ware. Our whole family enjoyed the space. Each bedroom has access to the outside deck. The neighborhood is quiet. The walk to beach access is five minutes away. Stores and restaurants are a short car ride away. Hosts left plenty of information for local spots to visit. The pool is a three minute walk away, and most times we had it to ourselves.

Beautiful home- great host

Rebecca is amazing at communication! Her home is well appointed and comfortable. The neighborhood association is a bit intimidating but she lays out the rules up front so follow them! The only small issues we had were with the cleaning crew (one bed was left not clean and there was 1/4 roll of toilet paper total and no trash bags in any can except the kitchen) but Rebecca offered to resolve with a quickness. Location is excellent!

Quick walk to the beach

The house was as advertised. Communication with Rebecca was easy. It was actually closer to the beach than it looks on the map, which is a plus. Everything you need is less than a mile away. Our only negative had nothing to do with the owners or house but the HOA. They threatened to ticket us for being 2 inches past the fence line. It's a quiet neighborhood and it appears that the full time residents have nothing better to do but watch Renters. We'll be back to Destin soon.

WE LOVED IT!!!

We absolutely loved our stay. Rebecca was incredibly helpful and kind, which made us feel right at home. The neighborhood is very nice and has a pool, however we spent most of our time at the beach (which is less than a block away). The location is perfect. There’s a Whole Foods, Publix, outdoor shopping mall, Bass Pro and plenty of places to eat within a mile. My family loved this vacation and we would definitely like to stay at A Slice of Heaven again.

Another wonderful stay at “Slice of Heaven”!

My family is repeat renters at Slice of Heaven because we feel at home with the rental process and the comfort of the house. The proximity to the beach is basically a couple minutes until your feet touch the sand. The neighborhood is charming. The amenities in the house make it feel like home. We will continue to be return renters at Slice of Heaven for said above.

This property was great! Beautiful house, decor was immaculate, very clean which is a plus for me, location was ok for not being beachfront property. The website showed the outside being more inviting, that is my only complain was the landscaping was a little overgrown, and we didn’t use the outdoor amenities. The owner was great at communicating making sure we had everything we needed, and communication before going on the trip was also very good. I would recommend this property for anyone looking for relaxation, beach time, and making family memories!!!
