The home was very clean and we made sure it was the way it was supposed to be when we left. Enjoyed the stay. The only things we wish were different was that there was more than one hot water heater and the delta knobs in faucets were hard in some bathrooms to turn to the hot position. I haven't seen those type knobs in a while. Besides that it was like sort of being at home. Had to adjust to three bathrooms while at home we have four plus a half upstairs and one half downstairs. I still would give it 5 stars.

Beautiful place in a great area! Pictures just don’t do it Justice ! It was so spacious and the decor was immaculate ! I do wish we were closer to the beach but that’s okay because it’s literally down the street ,! We didn’t get chance to use all of the amenities but we had a ball! We had issues with the door and the owner responded quickly ! The communication was constantly there . Also believe them when they say the wifi is very spotty . We had 0 service but as they said in the review when it’s busy its nothing that can be helped because we had horrible service everywhere we went so it’s not just the house . If I could give them 20 stars I would .! First time in Destin and I’m so glad we chose this property!

The rooms were bigger and nicer than the pictures portray. The extra beach supplies in the garage were a life saver. We used the beach umbrellas, sand toys, chairs and beach cruisers every day. We were wanting a day away from the beach so we utilized the neighborhood pool instead. It was also extremely clean and very well kept. My wife and I used the gym three times during the week around 7am. There was a landscaping crew there every day cleaning up and making things look amazing.

The property was excellent for our family. Spacious, comfortable and convenient location. There are two things we did notice before we left that you may want to check out: 1) The main bathroom off the foyer looks like it had a leak around the toilet. At first we thought it was just from a wet swimsuit but then we noticed it each time we entered the batchroom. 2) And, the screen door off the lanai going outside had loose screws. My son who is in construction said the screws looked like they weren't the right size for the door. Thanks for making our vacation home an excellent experience.

I can’t stress that, you have if ever rented before you have never Rented this property, it’s the best we have ever done I can’t stress that enough. I have ordered prime rib from Herbets , and who knew they were the best meat market on planet earth, the compound we stayed at was perfection everything at once but the price you can afford. The fact that our three remaining members of our family were able to join together was beyond compare. The grill, the icemaker has everyone mentions, or fabulous being gone anything we have at our homes. My goal is to live this life. Thank you to our hosts for the best vacation of my life!

Jilenna’s place was amazing, I knew her home would be nice because of the pictures, but when I arrived it was more much nicer. The community is full of beautiful houses. The place was close to the beach and restaurants, we didn’t have to drive far. The house was clean and it felt cozy. The kitchen had everything we need. I felt at home and I was sad to leave. I will highly recommend this place and hopefully I can come back and stay here again. Thank you Jilenna so much for your hospitality.

A beautiful home with extras such as bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas and beach mats. The home is well taken care of and in a nice neighborhood with a short walk to the community pool/playground and to the beach. Great place for a family to stay for a vacation!

We had five adults and two kids under four for our trip and this place had plenty of space, including garage parking. The layout is fantastic and gives everyone tons of privacy with easy access to bathrooms. The common spaces, especially the floors, could have been cleaned better, but it by no means made it a bad experience.
The neighborhood has private gate access and very nice. The pool was great and was empty during the day with a lot of families at night.
The house had two umbrellas, plenty of chairs and toys for kids to take to the beach. That alone saves quite a bit of money at the beach. The beach we went to was super close and easy to find parking if you arrive around 10am or earlier. 11am or later and you will not find parking.
We had a couple of minor issues come up but they addressed them right away. Overall, the property was amazing for our family vacation to Destin. The only negative I really saw was a 4pm check in and 10am checkout—both were very annoying times. I highly recommend the property and would rent here again.

This was our first stay in this home & the owners have throught of everything possible to provide a everlasting phenomenal experience! It comfortably fitted my wife, 4 Children, Grandparents & Aunty from Paris! We had an exceptional time in the condo and everything we needed was provided!! My Parents & Aunty rode the Bikes everyday! The Kitchen was absolutely Beautfiul and had all the extras! The outside patio was AMAZING, along with a beautiful Grill big enough to cook for a Villiage! The Owners provided personal touches to make you feel welcome immediately, along with the small things most condo owners wouldn’t provide. It was clean, refreshing, comfortable, delightful & a great place to recharge the batteries. If you’re looking for a place to host a large family, or a place to get away with just you and your children, this is the place! It’s a stone throw from the beach, has a BEAUTIFUL community pool (that was empty most of the time) a GREAT gym along with tennis courts and Basketball courts. The community is Gated along with a security guards who periodically drive around for peace of mind. It has everything you need! Me and my family had a dream vacation and unbelievable experience. We will 100% be back! Thank you to the owners and all of the helpful staff! Especially to be young man who came and fixed the Bike tire within minutes of calling- yes minutes! This home was a Blessing to me and my family and I truly hope your consider booking it for yours! We WILL BE BACK! -TeamMathurin

This home and community was absolutely wonderful and perfect for our family. We have three kiddos who enjoyed it, loved the screened in porch and the convienience to the pool and the beach. The Home is decorated beautifully with everything you would need and its very spacious, plenty of room for 5 adults and 3 children. Each bedroom is a big space with its own bathroom and and TV. We loved the customer service from the Property Managers. It was perfect.

Everything was amazing! Absolutely gorgeous home that was in excellent condition. It had everything we needed.
We fell in love with Destiny East. It was a gorgeous neighborhood that felt safe. We loved driving the golf cart that we had rented throughout the neighborhood. Often we were the only family at the community pool and had it to ourselves.
You could easily walk to the beach but we had rented a golf cart which made it an easy commute. The house even had beach chairs and umbrellas you could use.
Not a single negative thing to say about our stay.

A wonderful, spacious and beautifully decorated home. There are so many extras to enjoy, from a completely stocked kitchen, to a new exquisite gas grill, to a plethora of beach supplies that are ready to use. The owner has really gone above and beyond. The house became home very quickly with all the comfortable and tasteful furnishings and appointments. There wasn't anything that we found missing with the house! Loved the location as well. You were close to all the attractions in Destin and the beach is a simple short stroll away. The clubhouse in the housing development offered many extras too. It too was just a short walk from the house. This was a great stay for us and we hope to visit here again with family and friends!
