Very Happy with Salty Seas
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the location, the home, the pool, and the golf cart. The home was very clean and even smelled clean. The kitchen has everything you need. All appliances were up dated, clean, and in good working order. The things provided for the ocean were a bonus. Also loved all the outdoor furniture, dining table, and grill. The pool with the water fall was fabulous and very clean. Vacation Haven was also exceptional to work with. My only suggestion and not complaining, the couch and rug in living room is ready to retire and the blinds on the back door don’t go up to see that beautiful back yard. These were my only things and they are not deal breakers. Great place for families or even just couples with furbabies.

Destin is Beautiful!
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was nice; sadly, there were only 4 washcloths and 4 towels, but it sleeps up to 10 with no option for additional clean towels or washcloths. Also, the “walk” to the beach was more like a short hike between carrying the beach towels, umbrella, chairs, and bags because the golf cart had to be parked a quarter-mile away from the beach access. It is much easier to drive the golf cart to the public access a half-mile away, park closer, and schlep your stuff down the ramp. Bring your own beach towels because there aren’t any! The doors to the bedroom and bathroom don’t stay open, leading to some stuffy rooms and frustrated kiddos. The beds were uncomfortable but clean, with plenty of pillows but no extra blankets. The pool was nice though quite warm. Overall it was nice, but we will look for somewhere else to stay next time.

Reviewer Comments: Property was very clean except for the living room area rug needs cleaned really bad or replaced. Also the refrigerator does not work like it should even when we did everything that the instructions said to do. We had a couple of small problems but they came right over to fix them. Great place to stay and golf cart was a great addition.

Neglected house
This property is begging for even the slightest maintenance to be tended to - light bulbs are out, living room fan does not work, kitchen trashcan does not close, guest shower curtain is ripped and moldy. GOOD LUCK trying to figure out how to turn either shower on. Pavers by pool are sinking and unsteady to walk on at all 4 corners. Pool and property was clean, just rundown and not maintained. If you’re sensitive to bleach don’t stay here though. Holy moly, even inside the refrigerator it reeked of bleach. At least it was clean? Best thing about this property is the golf cart and location, both of which you can find at better kept properties. It would also have been nice if they left a map on which way to go to get to the beach gate, and exactly which gate it is. Would not recommend this place for the price. I called and let them know of these issues. Hopefully they fix it up because the location is great!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental was very nice and clean upon arrival . The space fit us all so nicely (family of 10 ) . The outdoor private pool was awesome for the family! The house was in a few minutes walking distance to the beach but the golf cart was such a bonus to our trip . The staff was excellent . Was able to reach if we were in need of anything and they would also call ahead of time if they needed to stop for maintenance or anything else . They had wagons for us to use that I didn’t remember reading about so that was awesome for us to push everything we needed to the beach with our big family! Very quiet area and we would definitely love to come back !!!!!! 100% recommend

The pool was amazing and everything was very clean. Although we were within walking distance of the beach, having the golf cart available was a great amenity. Also, excellent communication with the host. Thank you!

Nice location. Clean house.
The neighborhood is quiet and private. It is immaculately cared for and safe. The house was clean and as pictured upon arrival. An easy walk to the beach wagons were helpful. I recommend renting your own beach gear and umbrellas. Having access to the golf cart also was very convenient and useful. We had quick communication with management with a couple of Issues at the house: Garage door and barbecue need attention. The beach gate code didn’t work for us. Overall, a great place to stay with the family.

We, myself, spouse, pet dog, enjoyed our extended stay very much. The house was very clean, nice layout, great location, and friendly, quiet neighborhood. Our dog enjoyed the backyard and daily walks. The My Vacation Haven support staff provided quick, courteous, and knowledgeable response. Only wish the house was snowbird friendly.

Good Location, pretty neighborhood
We usually stay in condos when visiting Miramar, but this time we tried a house. We really enjoyed it. The neighborhood is pretty and well maintained. The access gates work well and we appreciated that it is safe and monitored. All appliances work well and there are plenty of pots, pans and utensils for cooking. There was an issue with the pool that I only mention because the management company had someone out there to fix it in less than an hour! Stuff happens, and its great when there is a quick response like that. The fencing in the back yard is strong and opaque, we had no concerns about our dog being contained or seeing things to bark at, granted she is pretty old and lazy. We would stay here again.

Best vacation yet
We had the best time at Salty Seas. The property was exactly as listed. Our group of 7 plus 2 dogs had plenty of room. The home was spotless for being pet friendly. The beds were super cozy. They provided everything you could possibly need. The garage had a bunch of beach stuff and toys for kids. There even was a giant bottle of bubbles. The golf cart was so awesome we were almost afraid to use it, but it was a great benefit and provided so much extra fun. The beach was close and the pool was perfect. We loved it and are already making plans for next year.

Nice House
We traveled from Illinois for family vacation. Had its pros n cons. Pros-Nice house,great location,Pool,Golf cart Cons-living room rug piss stains from animals,bathroom curtain almost falling out of wall,pool was dirty when we arrived. Pool guy showed up to clean it 2 days before we were checking out, renting beach service everyday. Received a call from the office while on the beach with family that there was a car parked out front of the house we were renting and if we didn’t get it moved NOW that we would get a $100 fine. The car was not even at our house it was at the neighbors. All in all had a good time. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you

We came in from south Texas to stay at the house we found online. It was so worth the drive. Amazing beautiful home, plenty of space and room. The pool was a huge plus and the beach was so close.

Great spot for family vacation!
Check in process was super easy. The location is great and we loved the golf cart! We had an issue with the WiFi and property management couldn’t get it fixed during our stay but was great with communicating the issues with us. We also had an issue with the pool being heated even when we turned it down to 50.. it felt like we were in a hot tub when it was 90 degrees outside! Hopefully they get that fixed for other stays! Overall, I would recommend this house for a family vacation!
