We have been coming to Destin for MANY years and this was by far the most amazing property that we have rented. We had 16 people in our group (11 adults and 5 children) and there was plenty of room for us all to spread out and enjoy our own spaces. The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked. The location was INCREDIBLE! We were right by the jetty and could watch the fishing charters as they pulled out every morning and as they returned each afternoon. It was just a beautiful and relaxing location… not overcrowded! The sunsets were stunning.
