Lovely Weekend by the Beach!
I stayed here with 11 friends to celebrate an upcoming wedding and we loved this property. First of all, everyone slept comfortably. There were enough beds to go around to accommodate our large group, and for that I was very grateful. I slept in the pool house king bed, and slept very peacefully. The proximity to the beach was actually so nice, honestly a lot closer than I was expecting (maybe a 4 minute walk). The couches were comfy for football viewing and napping after beachy mornings. The pool was nice to cool down as well. We were not far from golf and fishing, maybe around 10-15 minutes away from either option. Lastly, Jeffry and her daughter were always very helpful and attentive to any questions we had. I felt supported throughout our stay. All in all, a great time! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beach House
We enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect and only steps from the beach. The only drawback is that the public beach area is VERY SMALL! We were shocked and had never experienced so many private beaches around us. We had to set up before daylight to get a good spot and some mornings it was already filling up with the public beach area being so small! No fault of the owners…just wanted to inform. The house and location were great! We really enjoyed our stay.

Great beach house!
We had 16 people with us for my son’s graduation trip that was family and a hand full of teenagers. It was so nice because the teenagers stayed in the pool house so they had their own space but still spent time with us also! House was great, kitchen was one of the most well furnished houses we have been too! Had everything we needed even a crockpot! Location was great! Everywhere we wanted to go was within 20 minutes and that was only that long due to traffic. Only thing to fuss about was the amount of public beach there was. U had to fight a ton of people to find a place to sit while the two hotels on either side had tons of room but you cannot sit there. Of course there is nothing the house owners can do about that and we are planning to rent again but just pack up and go to the larger beach access a few minutes down the road. Overall amazing house, great owners that help with anything we needed!!! Definitely our new Destin beach getaway even with the beach issues!

Home Away From Home
We enjoyed our trip to Destined For Fun very much. We had stayed in a similar home a couple of years ago that had a few issues so we knew we loved the layout, but this one was PERFECT! From the booking process throughout our stay Jeffry was a dream to work with. This is the one week a year I get to spend with my kids and grandkids with zero distractions and having a cozy home to spend that time in was wonderful. The house is very clean and well maintained and we loved the open concept and huge dining table so we could all be together for games and meals. We can’t wait to book our next trip!

Steps away from the ocean!
We booked our trip a month ago for 4th of July week. Jeffry was amazing to work with. Very responsive. The house was great. The location was PERFECT. It was close enough of a walk we didn’t have to carry our little kiddos and our oldest kids could walk back from the beach safely when the adults weren’t ready! Will definitely consider booking again in the future!

Best place to stay in Destin!
This house was perfect! This was our first trip to Destin (we’ve vacationed at many of the nearby beaches in either condos or houses) and it was just beautiful. We will definitely be back and will stay at this property again. The location is perfect and we loved the beach access just across the street from the house that was not too crowded even during Fall Break. The outside space and pool were amazing and we spent each night after dinner hanging out with our whole party of 10 (three families). Our group included four teenagers, ages 13-17 and they had an incredible time. The common space in the house is very functional also with an open kitchen to the spacious dining and living room. The whole house has a great layout and then we had one family in our party to stay in the pool house and they loved this space. The property owner contacted me the day of our arrival to let us know the house was ready for early check in and she even went to the property to see if our golf cart we ordered had been delivered. She was so responsive and I can tell she is an experienced property manager…very professional! The house is also located within a half mile of any shopping or restaurants that we went to so an easy drive by car or golf cart. With that, we didn’t have to deal with any traffic issues like we have at other beaches we’ve stayed at during Fall Break. So many reasons that I can only describe it as the best place to stay in Destin!

Spacious house close to the beach
This house was as advertised and provided plenty of space for our group of 8 adults and 4 kids. Very close to the beach though beware the public space is limited. If you get there early you shouldn’t have any problems. Being so close to the state park was very nice for our morning walks/runs. Jeffry had wonderful communication and I would recommend staying at her property.

Great fun at the beach!!
My family had a wonderful time at the beach. We loved the pool as it offered an alternative to beach when we were back at the house. Jeffry was very attentive to our needs. When the grill went out, we had a new one that afternoon. We had 3 generations staying there and there was plenty of room for all of us. Would definitely stay there again!!!
