Buffalo in the House

We were a group of 18, 4 families for our annual spring break trip. The house was exactly how it shows in the pictures, having multiple king suites was perfect for all of the adults, and the two bunk rooms were just what the kids needed. The pool was a really good size for a rental, and lots of lounge chairs in the yard and plenty of umbrellas for shade. The walk to the beach was under 10 minutes, very easy. I would have expected at the house would've had a little more leftover things from previous families, little things that would've been helpful like saran wrap, Tupperware containers, the house had a lot of empty cabinets. We left a lot of things we purchased for the next family thank you

Great Place

We were in Florida for our son’s wedding. We chose this place because of how perfect the room arrangements matched what we needed. Nice setup with the private, separate 2 rooms and den on the third floor and so many 2nd floor rooms with king beds. The place was really clean when we arrived. The golfcart was a great plus. Our family and friends really liked this house for us. Very happy!!

Fantastic Property & Location

We had a great experience staying at the Groovy Goat. The living/kitchen/dining room is even more spacious than it looks in the pictures. The beds were very comfortable and the house is ideal for large groups. We spent a lot of our time at the house in the heated pool and hot tub, which were the perfect temperature for late February. There’s a great coffee shop and a breakfast shop that are next to each other within walking distance from the house. I would 100% rent this house again.

Luxury stay

From the time you open the door until you tour all 3 stories, this house is beautiful & very clean. We had 11 adults & 3 children ages 2 years to 10 years old & everyone was comfortable & could go to their own private space when needed. Approx 1/4 easy mile walk to beach with a private gated entrance. Fully stocked kitchen with an awesome ice maker!! Beds very comfortable. Nice, quiet neighborhood. Golf cart so fun to ride around. Close to Pompano Joe's which serves delicious food. Theyre seafood nachos were great! Pool & hot tub were awesome & we had a blast visiting in & around pool.

Birthday Celebration Getaway

The house was fantastic and fit all of our vacation needs to a "T". Although we made it work having 5 families there we wish we had a bit more parking as only 4 cars could park but that was minor considering all of the other amenities. The bunk rooms were a perfect fit as we had 4 girls and 7 boys and having large bunks worked great. When 20+ people need to eat in one place, the kitchen cooking area and seating was fabulous. Little things like a separate ice maker and even a second kitchen up on the third floor really worked well. It was sooooo helpful not having to lug pool toys with us to the home since the home was very adequately outfitted.

Absolutely Amazing!!!

This beautiful home far exceeded our expectations. The communication before and during was A+. It was bright and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed to comfortably cook for 15 people. The bedrooms are huge, king suites with large bathrooms. The bunk rooms are full size beds. TV’s in every room and the kids loved the arcade games. If anyone is “uncomfortable” in this home they have a problem 😂. The pool area was wonderful after coming back from the beach. Lots of amenities nearby (grocery, restaurants, etc.) The golf cart was amazing for shuttling everyone back and forth to the beach. Don’t hesitate to book, I promise you won’t be disappointed. We will definitely be back.

Outstanding

The communication when it come to this property from start to finish was outstanding. Very quick to respond. What you see with the pictures is exactly what you get. The pool and the jacuzzi was worth paying extra for the heat. The location was the best. The beds were firm and comfortable, enough kitchen supplies to accommodate a fully house, the grill works beautifully. My favorite part was the screened in porch. I’m definitely coming back. Walking distance to the beach as well. You would not be disappointed…. Everything was beautiful for me and my BSP Family…. We’ll be back

I would give it 10 STARS if I could. Everyone has a Private Bathroom. So many bedrooms. So many luxury amenities. It was more than expected. The hot tub, the pool, the kitchen, the coffee bar, the laundry room, the mattresses, the TVs, the video games, and the upstairs private suite area, was high quality and better than I ever imagined.

Could not be better

We had an absolute blast while in Destin and a huge part was this house and the host, Ryan. The house has everything to truly feel at maximum vacation (beautiful pool, hot tub, incredibly comfortable beds, high end kitchen options and the list goes on...). The golf cart was clutch to transport everyone and everything down to the beach (about three blocks away). My family and I are already looking at booking our next stay because we had such a great time. Ryan was welcoming & was a text away to answer any questions. Beyond 5 stars!!

Great Pool Area

Pool area was great,with the screened porch providing a nice "in between" space while drying off The house was very nice and suitable for family casual living. But, it was difficult for some in party to manage getting around between the three floors, even families with toddlers. The on site high chair and baby gate was definitely a plus.The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and pans for cooking. It would have been nice to have the bathroom linens already distributed to all the bathrooms so we didn't have to carry towels between floors for the initial setup. .Unlike the site photo showing undeveloped land adjacent to the house,it is definitely completely built out all around the property. We had an issue with noisy neighbors next door after midnight one night. Had to finally complain to local authorities. Parking was somewhat limited considering how large the house was and how many families would be staying there.

Family trip

First night we were at the house the property DIRECTLY (houses are so close) behind had a VERY loud karaoke party. It was not enjoyable in our pool or hot tub. I asked property manager if this was allowed by HOA but got no response to this question. House was beautiful and seemed high end but most things were not high end. The appliances in the kitchen were the worst we’ve ever used. Trying to cook the kids chicken in the oven for lunch took 3 times as long as usual. One fan in the living room didn’t work and one fan on the patio didn’t work. After waiting a day we did get a box fan from property manger to put by the grill outside. We had one bathroom that the toilet would randomly stop filling with water, so we had to take the back off and move float to get water to fill so we could flush. The front doorknob kept falling off. We had a circuit blow 3 times from watching TV, running living room fan, and using Kurig at the same time. Also had circuit blow in a bathroom from using a blow dryer. Most of the house seemed pretty clean but the floors were FILTHY. Everyone’s feet were black after walking around. I didn’t like how much the guest were responsible for when checking out. This is the first time I’ve had to strip sheets and pillowcases off beds and clean and PUT AWAY all dishes. Be sure to allow yourself extra time the morning of check out, because it takes some time doing that for kids and elderly parents if you have any. Seems like the cleaning fee would at least cover clean floors since guest do so much before leaving home. It was also strange the top patio had no furniture. You couldn’t even sit out there. We were also surprised by a new house being built RIGHT next door . You could almost touch it from the yard it was so close. They started work very early too( like 7am). This house did work for us and we had a good stay but I would not stay again.

Roomy Home

We loved the idea that it could accommodate us so well. Each couple was able to have their own bedroom and bath. Actually the big pool and hot tub was what sold us on this rental. We did have some issues with the hot tub as far as the jets and heating which property manager got back with us after a few days. There seems to be some confusion with this rental as to needing to tell them specifically that you want the jets and heat on for the hot tub. Anytime we have ever rented a vacation home with a hot tub before that was a given. What’s a hot tub without heat? Just wanted to let others know who may be renting this in the future. Another discrepancy was the bath towels. There was suppose to be two per person which upon arrival we were 6 short. We did contact property manager who told me they figure 1 1/2 towel per person. 🤔 He did come and give us what we were missing promptly. There were some maintenance issues that needed attention which we told the property manager and hopefully they were taken care of when we left. Overall we did enjoy being here.
