Family of 13 wonderful stay!
Great great location. Door faces pool. It’s directly across the street. Beautiful pool . Awesome Hot tub. Cleaned everyday. There is a few rows of houses and this is the front row so definitely make sure you pick a house in the front row so it’s easy accessible for kids to get to the pool. Beach was A five block walk it was great. And to walk a little bit farther, make sure you hit the crab trap that is where lifeguards are and drinks on the beach! 3 level house. Lots of room! Wonderful stay for a large family!

Poolside Haven
This place was very convenient in the location but the inside was not what I had hoped for. There was sand in the bed and on the sheets before we even stayed in them. The couches are so dirty you hardly wanted to sit on them. Every place we have stayed had detergent for the washing machine and this place had none. They didn't have enough toilet paper for even two days. I understand that we may need to purchase more but at least have more than two rolls. I was very disappointed in the Poolside Haven and will not stay there again.

Family Time
This was our first full vacation with our adult children, teenagers, and grandkids. Poolside Haven was perfect for our large and varied needs family. Having the pool with walk-in entry was perfect for our 2 year old granddaughter to splash and play while still letting the adults enjoy the water as well. Getting to the beach was a short walk and everything we needed for supplies was very quick to get to. The owner was quick to answer any questions we had and very helpful! We would love to stay at Poolside Haven again.

Satisfied customers!
The property is great. Great location! Our group of 8 adults and we had a lot of room inside to maneuver around and not feel crowded. The property decent and clean, located within walking distance (and we did), close proximity to tons of shopping. The host Becky was very pleasant and accommodating throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend this property to others and l would also re-book this property on future trips to Destin.

Disappointing
The house and location were okay, short distance to restaurants, shopping. Short walk to the beach, pool was nice. Max of 3 cars in driveway, "overflow lot" holds about 8 cars. At times difficult to find parking for additional cars. Received a text about 2 hours before we checked in that the A/C unit on the first floor was out and that the manager would call first thing Monday morning. Received word Monday part was ordered and would be fixed ASAP. I texted Tuesday, was told not sure when this would be fixed. I texted Wednesday and never heard back from the property manager. Checked out on Friday. Unfortunately, this was a big problem considering the kitchens on the first floor, very difficult to cook in the July heat. No offer for financial compensation or portable A/C unit was given. Overall, disappointed is the best review I can give..

Quick list of Pros and Cons
We felt that the property was adequate. Pluses included: 1) eight to ten-minute to the beach 2) proximity of restaurants 3) three separate living levels allows some separation by age or family group; 4) the pool is very nice and literary feet away 5) there's great water pressure in the house. 6) laundry room with washer and dryer. Some cons include: 1) There is little to no sound-proofing between the floors so plan to hear whomever is above you; 2) The furnishings are plebian; 3) The kitchen is tiny! Doesn't work well when preparing meals for a group; 4) The sitting area on the first floor is quite small. This is a very "vertical" house. 5) The house could use some sprucing up to make it appear more fresh/clean. Also be prepared for absurdly long waits at area restaurants, which, of course, has nothing to do with the house other than to create more pressure to cook "at home." Though it is unlikely we would stay here again, I think it represents a good choice for younger families.

Great place to stay!!!
We had 2 family’s with 14 people, kids ranging in age from 8-20 years old. The location was really good. Just a few blocks from the beach and about the same from the mall/shopping center. We stayed in February so the pool was on the cold side (I guess they start heating it around the 1st of March) but none the less the kids still enjoyed it. The house was a nice place, clean, and well kept. We were on the go seeing what Destin had to offer so we didn’t spend a lot of time there but would definitely stay here again. We did have one issue with an A/C unit, we called the owner and they had a service tech there the asap. Communication was great. The house was plenty big to accommodate our 2 family’s. Overall we had a really good experience. Thank you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Poolside Haven. There had enough space to comfortably accomdoate everyone (16 ppl is total). The beach was in walking distance. Definitely a plus.

Perfect house for large group
This was my second time staying in the community and we just love it. It’s a bit of a walk to the beach but the community is so worth it. The house was amazing, we were able to have a family on each floor and plenty of space to gather on the main floor. Bathrooms on all floors, plenty of bath towels!! Perfectly clean. Big laundry room on second floor. Kitchen was great- big pantry for all groceries and big fridge. Right across from the pool which was heated very nicely. Had a little trouble getting a hold of owner through app but was able to call and had no problems, she was awesome. Our thanksgiving/Friendsgiving week was perfect!!

Great space for multiple families
The best thing about this property is that it had enough space for both of our families to spread out and enjoy our time. The pool being right outside our house was great, too. The beach was not that far of a walk, but it was also close enough to drive and park. Great place! We would definitely use it again.

About the host

Hosted by Owner/ Property Manager

Host profile image
We have traveled and lived around the world. We love meeting new people, learning about different cultures and strive to raise our children with a diverse background.

Making memories and spending time with family and friends is extremely important to us. We work hard so we can take our kids on adventures and make some everlasting memories with them. You do not need to go far for an adventure, just some time out of a busy schedule is all a child needs. Time is precious, so we try and make the most of every minute.

We recently have moved into the Destin area and fell in love with the Emerald Coast. We wanted to find somewhere that others could travel to and make memories with their friends and family. One saying that we hold dear to us is "seize the day!" Make the most out of each day and come enjoy the white beaches and emerald waters!

Why they chose this property

This property is perfect!. Hotels and resorts are nice, but it is hard for everyone to be together. The best memories are made during those rare moments that no one could expect. This house was just what we were looking for because it has the resort pool, security of a gated community, and 6 bedrooms so everyone can stay in one place. A huge bonus was the house was across the street (about 20 yards) from the pool.
