Perfect for Multi Family Vacation
This is our 2nd year to stay at this house. We love the location. The house is gorgeous and neighborhood is quiet. This visit we had a lot of struggles with hot water. We didn’t have that problem last year and we had the same 20 people in the house last year. The property manager came out twice which was appreciated.

Location is perfect.
The house was great inside but the outside needs some more effort and clean up. The pool and grill were a complete mess when we arrived but the pool service vendor did a great job of getting the pool back in order and made a follow up visit to check on us. Overall, a great experience.

The realness of Ocean Reef
Ocean Reef offered a very beautiful and clean house, however we had to kill three big water bugs. You also need to bring everything because all that was supplied in the home was towels. The mattresses are extremely horrible and they leave you with one roll of tissue per bathroom and one roll of paper towels. With the amount of money that the place takes in a month you would think that they would have better mattresses and cookware, as well as supply at least one roll of tissue per house guess. The pool should have also been cleaned out before arrival because it was not As clean as it should have been.

Our family vacation
The house was nice. Everything was neat and clean. Pool was nice and the children enjoyed it. Parking was perfect for the amount of cars we had. The location of the house was perfect. Everything was near and didn't have to travel so far. Beach was right across the street. Heads up, the elevator doesn't work. But our overall experience was great.

Excellent location and amazing house
This was our second stay at this house. This time was special as we got married on the beach during our stay. The house and location are amazing. We had a great time and the house was perfect size for 8 adults with plenty of room for more. The outside of the house needs power washed in the worse way. The pool lights didn’t work and the cooking pans needs replaced but I would definitely stay again. Thank you for providing a perfect location and house for our special trip..

The process for check in was easy. Upon arrival everyone was excited to be near the beach. Conveniently located to the public beach. We requested additional linens and they were delivered within a short time. The property management company was 5 stars on responding to any problems. Thank you!!! Our friends and families have enjoyed the home and the great beaches of Destin.

Family trip to Destin
This house is gorgeous. Kudos to the owner for the decorating. While we really enjoyed our vacation and the house really is in a prime location and offered plenty of space and amenities for us, there were a few items that we would have expected to be different especially with the amount of money for this property for the week. 1. Construction- The house next door had construction everyday from 7am until 7pm. This really put a damper on the ability to feel that we had some privacy in the pool as the construction crews were constantly working on something outside. 2. The house could use a deep clean as the floors were very dirty and my wife ended up having to sweep most of them to collect the dirt and hair. 3. The pool was dirty and the water level was too low for the skimmer to properly cycle water. The pool company didn't come to clean until the Saturday morning we were checking out so I'm assuming they must not have come before then. Other than the items above, it was really a good vacation for our children and in-laws.

The property was decorated and furnished as shown in the advertisement. The walk to the beach was not too far. The pool area could have been a little more clean and if the pool was heated that would have been nice. Just to knock the chill off. It was very cold😔 Unfortunately we had construction going on on one side of us and on the other side the tenants stayed up most of the night playing their music VERY loud! We still enjoyed Destin and we will go back again. Thank you for letting us use your home!

Destin friend trip
This was a beautiful home in a very nice location. We all enjoyed our trip very much. Our only complaint was that the home needs to be deep cleaned. The floors have not been cleaned well for quit some time I would guess. With the coronavirus I feel now homes need to be deep cleaned with each stay.

Destin family vacation
Our experience with this property was great! However my only complaints would be the floors were filthy and the bed on the second floor was poorly made and the blanket/sheet had a visible hole in it. My kids feet were black within the first 5 minutes of them having their shoes off. I am only providing this information so the owners know. I feel like if nothing is ever said, no one will ever know. Lastly, I believe the overview mentioned that the pool was converted to salt water however it was not which actually worked out better for my family! And I also wish the house would provide a vacuum for their guests. They did provide a broom and dustpan but I can’t imagine it would be too much trouble to leave a vacuum in the house to make cleaning up sand a little easier. We actually plan to book this house next year if possible! We loved the location and the decorations in the house were very nice. We definitely recommend this place! I would still rate it 4/5 stars!
