⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"...We decided to visit Destin for the first time for our family gathering of 8 adults and 2 kids. We couldn't have found a better place. The house was quiet, clean, roomy, and had everything needed for us to stay comfortably for 3 nights. (Walk to the beach was superb, had carts and sand toys and chairs and towels and much more) We loved our stay so much that we are planning on coming back every quarter." Soon, Dec 2025

We had a very comfortable stay with our 6-month old puppy at this adorable beach home. It was spacious, thoughtfully decorated, clean, and everything was in good working order. It was nice to be able to walk our dog around the block and to the Shore at Crystal Beach entrance (no dogs allowed on the beach). The hosts were easy to communicate with and were welcoming and attentive. We didn’t have any issues during our short stay and would stay here again!

Just me and my husband came. The kitchen was fully stocked and they supplied toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, shampoo, conditioner, soap and detergent where you didnt have to go out and buy any. House was very clean and cozy. We had two small dogs and the backyard was perfect size. They supplied kids games and even though we didnt have kids, I loved the puzzles! They supplied all beach equipment, even a buggy. Management was very easy to communicate with. We will definitely be back with our family!

Perfect Family Getaway
We booked this property for our family vacation. We had 5 adults a 6 year old and a 2 1/2 year old. I looked at so many properties before I booked this one and I don’t think I could have made a better choice. The layout was absolutely perfect and the location could not have been better. Being able to take a short walk to the beach was so great. The house had everything you could ever need. We loved all the games and toys they had for the kids, and adults. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location
We had 7 people- 6 adults and a 2 year old. The place was quiet and walking distance to the beach but also close enough to get to the action of Destin if needed. We rented bikes which I highly recommend. Susan was very helpful and quick to respond to needs of our group. The place was definitely kid friendly with tons of games, pack and play, crib and beach toys. Beds were comfortable and the space is bigger than pictured. Would definitely stay here again.

Great walk to beach!
This was a great place for us to spend a few days near the beach and visit with our daughter who attends college nearby. The home was clean and provided ample space for my family, my parents and my daughters. The home provides a nice size kitchen with many choices for seating. The outdoor area gave us room to relax outdoors. We really enjoyed how the walk to the beach was only 5 mins and the home provided all the beach gear we needed. The hosts were always available for communication. Thank you!

Beautiful Home in a Beautiful area.
This beautiful home is well cared for and comes with everything you need inside and out! All the rooms are spacious. The master king mattress was excellent.
We enjoyed the beach off of Hutchinson daily and the wagon provided helped us with the 5-10min trip down the path to sidewalks. We biked mornings in the local neighborhoods. Coastal scenic 98 has paths for bikes and the neighborhoods were not busy (Oct stay). NOTE: to get anywhere in-town required heavy traffic for bikes.
PLUS:
Essentials such as soap, shampoo, conditioner, dish/dishwasher soap, towels, were provided.
Kitchenware is plentiful and there is plenty of seating.
Comfortable entry (one step) – ranch style home.
Quiet neighborhood (October stay).
Pool is very close (closed due to fire damage during our stay).
Thank you to our gracious hosts for your welcoming contacts via the app/emails, all the great home information/rules/parking etc provided on the website and for being available for our questions via phone promptly.
We would definetly stay again!

Exactly what we were looking for
We traveled to Florida to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary at the beach. The house was the perfect size for us (6 adults and 2 teens). Everything was clean, comfortable and tasteful. The proximity to the beach was AMAZING. It was so convenient to use the little wagon to haul our gear to the beach without having to worry about finding a parking space. The large dining table was also perfect for our large group to gather around meals and/or games. We loved it!

A November Adventure from Michigan!
We decided we needed an adventure from our every day retirement life.
We went on VRBO and found Clipper Cove. What a find!
When we drove into the subdivision and opened the door to the cottage, we were blown away! Everything was wonderful. The house included every item we needed plus.
The beach not far away is spectacular. We have never seen such white sand and clean, clean water. There is nothing on the beach but sand and wonderful birds.
We had a fabulous time and would love to go back again.
