We had a very nice stay overall and really enjoyed this location. The neighborhood felt very safe, quiet, and well maintained. The exterior of the property was kept up nicely, and the community amenities were a great bonus. Being within walking distance to the public beach and a nearby restaurant was extremely convenient, and the short drive to Destin Commons made it an ideal spot for our family vacation!The home itself was clean and generally comfortable. We did experience some water heater issues during our stay. While the owners were quick to respond and address the problem, the circuit continued to trip intermittently, which resulted in a few cold showers midway through. It was inconvenient, but we appreciated how responsive and communicative the hosts were when we reached out.Overall, we had a good stay and would recommend the property for its location, neighborhood, and responsive hosts.
