Impeccably Maintained
5.0


This home is impeccably well managed and maintained. Clean, organized and beautifully decorated. They provided beach chairs towels and toys so no need to bring a bunch of things with you. We had an alarm beeping (dying batteries) and the maintenance crew headed over and changed it out within 30 minutes or so from my call. With it being a little cooler for our stay we weren’t able to use the pool, but we did a walk through and it is huge and would love to try it our on another trip. We will be recommending this home to our friends and family. Thanks so much!!

Large Family Vacation
5.0

House was great size for our 14 family members. We could all gather or have our own space when needed. It’s nicely decorated, well stocked, and has comfortable beds. We spent a lot of time at the large pool, was awesome! Beach is an easy 12 minute walk, and home is just off the main road of businesses. We’d stay again. Thanks!

10/10 would recommend to families looking for a great place to stay on vacation. Our entire family of 16, including children 8 months-13 years old, was comfortable in this home. It was large, clean, nicely decorated, and had comfortable beds. The pool was amazing, and the beach was only a 10 minute walk. We did not have a single issue while we visited!

Jilenna is an amazing host and has a beautiful home. The place feels at home away from home. If you are ever around that area and need a spacious place to stay look no more she's the person you want to work with.

Awesome Stay
5.0

We had a great short trip at the holidays! The weather turned out great in the 60s. The house was great for our family. We only had 7 people and had plenty of space. We used the few living rooms to hang out and play games. We cooked dinner one night in. They did a good job communicating what would and wouldn't be available in the kitchen. The grill worked out perfect. We were only a 10 minute walk to the beach. The community pool was heated too. The property owners had a lot of communications about cooking, beach, amenities, activities, etc.

Will not disappoint
5.0

We really enjoyed our stay here! Thirteen women for our Annual Girls Vacay and it did not disappoint. The house looked exactly like the pictures & the personal touches were super cute. There is a shuttle that is really convenient but most days we just walked to the beach. The pool area was really nice too! The community is very clean and close to everything you will need. Everyone was very nice and the hosts was very responsive to questions. BOOK DIRECT through Forever Vacation Rentals - you will save money :-) Thank you for an enjoyable stay!

5.0

Such a great spot! The house was very spacious and clean and had everything that we needed. The area felt very safe as well. The pool was beautiful and the house is also a quick walk to the beach with the option to take a shuttle as well. Close to downtown as well as a bunch of shops, restaurants, and grocery stores at Destin Commons. Check in and check out we're both seamless and Jilenna was a great host! She responded quickly to any questions I had and made the whole experience enjoyable. Would definitely stay here again!
