Not impressed

Advertised a hot tub and heated pool. When we got there, they told us the pool didn't have heat and the hot tub was broken. Outside patio furniture was broken. Received outdoor fireplace with only two days left. Pool was full of leaves so we vacuumed it. Pool boy walked in unannounced halfway thru our stay. Beds were very uncomfortable. Certainly did not get what I paid for!

Stay at Sea Glass Cottage

Nice home in a good location. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach. The golf cart only holds 4 which is small for bigger groups. Pool side seating is limited. Bring towels for the pool/beach as none are provided.

Wonderful Vacation Home

Beautiful home and our kids and grandkids loved the private pool and hot tub. Use of the golf cart to get to the beach was wonderful. FYI - the stovetop is an induction stovetop so if you bring pans from home they won't be usable. Our family had a great time and will surely be returning.

Great First Trip to Destin!

The house was perfect for my whole family! All six adults plus two children were very comfortable! It’s about an 8 min walk to the beach. The pool was so nice and felt private. Cleaners even came during the week to clean out leaves and seeds! The neighborhood was nice and the golf cart was an awesome bonus for the beach! The perk was the free parking for all golf carts at the beach! We will definitely rekey be back!

Girls Trip

We had the best time in Destin. The house is in such a great location and the pool was perfect! We also enjoyed the golf cart for evening rides and also to "haul" our beach stuff to and from the house. You are so close to the beach that it is not necessary but is such a great addition to the rental. Would love to rent again in the future!

Perfect!

We had a great time - house was in a great location - only a few blocks from beach. House was clean, well-stocked kitchen, comfy beds. Backyard was awesome - great privacy, pool, hot tub, grill and a great place to hang out. Golf cart was a great perk too! We will definitely book again if we are coming to Destin!

Not as it appears-- horrible communication with hosts.

Unfortunately, this place is not as it appears. The hot tub was broken and there is no fire pit and there was a rat and rat poop in the grill. Oh and it advertises shampoo, conditioner, and body wash on the photos but all of them were empty. When I contacted vacasa about all this they barely responded and none of it was helpful. Most responses were "we are sorry and will look into this and get back to you" but they never got back to me and kept me waiting and waiting with no solution. Had to call multiple times and was forced to deal with middlemen who just said "we will look into this" "we are unsure" etc. Very disappointing.

BEST STAY

We loved this home for my bachelorette trip!! Huge house with so many amenities we will DEFINITELY be back. The beach wasn’t even a mile away from the home and the golf cart provided easy access to the beach. Crab island was only a short 20 minute drive. We had an absolute BLAST

The house was large and there was room for a large family. The proximity to the beach was fantastic. The golf cart was great. The cleanliness was a hair lacking for the price we paid. Not quite enough cookware for large groups. Overall we had a great time. I had to call once and the manager was very reponsive. I would stay here again.

Best time and stay

The pool was so nice to have along with the hot tub, outdoor grill, the large kitchen and two fridges for multiple families that we had staying here! Plenty of room and quick access to the beach was awesome! The golf cart made it so easy to make trips to the beach a breeze!! The pool lights and landscaping were nice for night swims! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Memorial Day week

Beautiful home near the beach. 4-seat golf cart was great (6 seater would’ve been awesome). Get to the beach by 7am-730am to set up ur chairs/tents, otherwise there will be limited space. Only issue we had was the hot tub wasn’t functioning properly and never got fixed the whole week we were there.

Family bacation

We had 11 of us. 6 adults and 5 kids. House had plenty of space and beds. Beds were comfortable. Location of house was great and not far from the beach. House has a 4 passenger golf cart and with our large group we rented a 6 passenger which was a life saver and big time time saver when taking all our stuff and people to the beach. Lots of beach stuff in garage. Chairs and wagons. Stove is an induction top so only magnetic pans work so bring some pans because house only has a few that work. Vacasa staff was great and very responsive on a few question we had after we arrived. We would recommend this property and would stay here again.

Spacious and family friendly

This property was the perfect size for an extended family of 12. It wasn’t too big and felt cozy, but not crowded. The hot tub and pool area were great for chill days and breaks. It was fun to be able to take a short ride on the golf cart to the free parking at the beach. The kitchen was well equipped and we appreciated the second fridge/freezer in the laundry room. We would stay here again and highly recommend!

Great place

Beautiful home , close to restaurants, shopping and entertainment. Very close to the beach. Loved the golf cart. But be aware that the pool isn’t heated. We booked thinking it was and it isn’t. So if your traveling when it’s cooler the pool is a no go. The hot tub was nice , and so was the fire pit and outdoor area. I would recommend this home.

A Blast!

Everything was great! Very accommodating on a last minute early check in. We had a group of 9 people for a family vacation, consisting of 7 females and 2 males, stayed for mainly 4 days, we had 6 rolls of TP and we to conserve on the last day so if you have a big group and staying longer you Best Buy some. You will also need to buy your staples, salt, pepper, coffee, paper towels, ketchup, mustard, etc… I get them not providing those things because every group is different so it’s hard to accommodate everyone. These are not complaints just our group's way of trying to help the next group come prepared if they like to cook or they think they may need more TP to go buy some. Lol! Like I said we had a blast everything was awesome!

Love the place but …….. must read

Going to be honest, hot tub leaks, pretty bad chairs on the patio are broken, several doorhandles in the house have fell off, very little towels. Pool is dirty, grill igniter doesn't work, No trash bags had to buy our own. Garbage disposal was filled full of very old moldy lime wedges that we removed ourselves, along with lime wedges all over the driveway when we pulled in. No soap in any of the bathrooms, and had to find comforters for the beds because they weren't all the way made. We asked for a late check out in advance and was told we had to wait and then last second we are told that we can't extend our check out. To be honest we love the location and we love the house and would probably stay again, but just very disappointed in the maintenance and house keeping.

Lovely Cottage Near the Beach

The home is very conveniently located near the beach, entertainment, grocery, spa, playground, etc. A short golf cart ride (golf cart provided) less than .5 a mile and you are seeing some of the best beaches in America. The home has a beautiful pool and hot tub. We spent most nights on the pool patio area enjoying the fire and hot tub. The rooms are spacious and the large kitchen made for easy family style cooking! I would recommend the Sea Glass Cottage to anyone.
