Neat Location, Not Close to Beach, Needs Some Help
Sitting on the deck watching the fish jump, birds fly and dive, and waving and visiting with neighbors was lovely. The home is nice. It has a LOT of steps, so if that isn’t your thing, pick a different place to stay. The deck really needs some work. There are loose boards, splinters galore, and it is difficult to see at night, even with various lights on. The boats are neglected, as is the attached property next door, which has a deck in worse shape than this home, shut off notices on the front door, and is just kind of sad-looking. Checking in was not as advertised. We were told if the property was ready early, we could call the rental company and check in early. When we finally reached someone, we were told that wasn’t possible and weren’t allowed in until the exact check-in time. Some of our family arrived early and could literally SEE that the property was ready/done being cleaned and we still weren’t allowed in. The cleaning job was adequate, but not great, especially the deck. Fishing line, rusty fish hooks, and dirty forks littered the area. The house was clean-ish, but not what we usually get in a vacation rental. We had a good time because we enjoyed our time together; if we were to return, we would stay closer to a beach area and certain a different home. Also, the water taxis are NOT as advertised in the listing. We got stranded because of weather (understandable,) with no sort of communication that they closed for the night.

Perfect Weekend
Check in was easy, the property was stunning top to bottom and front to back. It reminded me of a place Kenney Chesney would stay. All the local restaurants and spots were incredibly close by, and the the neighborhood and canals were peaceful and serene every morning and evening. The decor was beautiful, well-kept, and modern! Absolutely will be booking this beautiful place again in the near future!

Vacationer Beware
If you do not maintain your home you will be ok with this. Shocked Vacasa would put this property out there like it was so much more than run down.

Family trip
We had 10 with us on a family trip. The house was perfect in a perfect location. Loved riding the water taxi to HarborWalk and fishing off the pier. The house had plenty to do including paddle boards and kayaks. It was clean and just like the pictures. We will definitely be back!

This property is amazing and had everything we needed and more! Plenty of space for a large family and perfect layout. Super clean with comfortable beds and pleasant, appealing decor. The kitchen is very well stocked with all the essentials you need. We enjoyed relaxing on the spacious decks and taking in the lovely views of the harbor. It's a fantastic home with a perfect location, and we will be back!

Destin Vacation
The place is awesome. Plenty of space for multiple people both inside and outside. The dock area is a great place to relax and watch the boats go in and out. Water-taxi service is a good alternative to driving as many local restaurants are accessible by water. Don't waste time looking for parking, take the boat! The place is very well maintained and clean, no foul smells or dirty floors. Views are awesome for both sunrise and sunset. Very quiet and relaxing. If you want to stay in, there are TVs in every room and even in the outside bar area. WiFi has strong signal and fast throught the home and the dock area. Will definitely be a repeat customer!

Beautiful, Quiet Water Front Property
The location is stunning, the view can be seen from multiple deck locations. Everything was very clean and just as listed. The rental has all the necessary items for a full weeks stay, with comfortable beds, a fully stocked kitchen and multiple hang out areas. Perfect set up for families. The provided paddle boards and kayaks are a great way to explore the canals! Just a short walk or bike ride to the beach. Lots of local restaurants to check out right on the harbor! We will be back!

Best Deck on the Canal!!
What an absolute delight to discover how beautiful canal views on Holiday Isle are! The multi-tiered deck and dockside lounging areas were super. The quality of new deck chairs, tables was evident: sturdy and clean. And the deck chairs were plentiful and well placed. The interior decor was light, airy, and tastefully decorated. Appreciated the quality furniture for comfort and thoughtful design. One of the most family friendly layouts with kitchen, dining table and living space on one floor. The water taxi pick-up right at the dock was so fun!!
