Serenity

We had a wonderful 4-day stay with our family of 15 and would gladly give this place 5 stars! From the moment we checked in, the host was incredibly responsive and helpful. We did run into a couple of minor issues on the first day, but they were addressed promptly and with great communication, which we really appreciated. The home was comfortable, well-equipped, and a great place for our family to spend quality time together. The host truly cared about making sure we had a pleasant stay, and that made all the difference. Thank you for your outstanding hospitality. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great destin beach experience!

Most definitely recommend! We sadly lost our sister in Feb. When I found this location, they were beyond helpful. There were 20 of us total. ( 4 were babies in-pack in plays) The space was perfect. The house was very clean, and the location for everything was the best. The community pool was perfect with a very short walk. The beach was definitely closer than it shows on the map. The only 2 problems we had was the parking was very tight (we mainly walked everywhere anyway) and the dishwasher did not want to work. ( Nothing wrong with washing your own dishes) So nothing bad at all. We will be booking again for sure.

We had a fantastic stay. The space was perfect for our large group - plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, and open living space for nights hanging out playing games. The location was walking distance to the beach and to shopping at Destin Commons. My brother in law raved about the comfort of his bed everyday LOL They were comfy. 10/10 would stay again.

My family enjoyed our stay. Location is close to the beach, you’re able to walk. House is as described. However, all of the bedrooms- bed needs to be updated and also the tvs in some of the room need to be updated. This house is great, I just feel it needs more attention because it has potential to look so much better.. minor stains here and there. Overall would book again because as mentioned these are just small suggestions to make this place better. We definitely would book again.
