Reviews

Brian

I could not have found a more perfect spot for our family vacation. The layout of the house is incredible. It allows everyone to have their own spot, including bathroom. The view is remarkable and jaw dropping. Also, the service we received from the staff was first rate. I never waited longer than 20 minutes to have an issue fixed, and they were all minor ones. I have found my new company to rent vacation property in Destin!!!

The home is well equipped with linens on each bed, as well as an extra set for any sleeper sofas that may be in the home. Each bathroom is stocked appropriately with bath towels, hand towels, wash cloths, and bath mats to accommodate the sleeping capacity of the home. There are starter sets of soap, detergent, dish soap, and toilet paper there for your convenience. Kitchens are each stocked with enough dishes, serving pieces, glassware, and all the other kitchen necessities to prepare meals during the guests' stay.

We provide a starter set of laundry detergent for our guests to use when they arrive.

We take cleanliness seriously. Upon every guest departure, each property is thoroughly inspected and cleaned, then inspected again before arrival to ensure it's cleanliness, as well as making sure there are no other potential issues that may arise in the home. Deep cleans are performed during offseason and extended vacancies as well. And because the owners of each property stay here too, we strive to ensure the same fresh and clean experience they'd expect to every guest.
