Family/Friends Beach Vacation

Loved this location and rental. This was our 3rd summer in a row traveling to Destin area. This was the best location for our family. Short walk to beach and shorter walk to pool. Loved the quiet street and parking a few feet outside our door. Kids rode bikes and parents rode scooters on the private cul-de-sac. Will be staying again next summer.

Our cottage was charming and very clean. Although the cottages in the area were close together, it was quiet and other guests were friendly. Nice pool. Beautiful, uncrowded beach less than a block away. Kathy, our host, quickly helped with a few questions we had on arrival. Everyone in our family enjoyed our time here.

First time to Destin

This was also our first family beach trip in 15 years. The house was perfect. Great location, roomy, had tons of kitchen stuff (pots, pans, dishes, utensils, even a blender though we didn’t use it). I noticed from the online pics there was only had a regular coffee maker so we brought our keurig. It is also a very safe area. Went on a run everyday. Grocery store, restaurant, and retail stores close by also. We will definitely stay in this same unit on our next trip.
