Perfect house for us :)

This was our first time visiting Destin and this was the perfect house for our friends and family, four families all together. Plenty of room for everyone to gather together or have their own space. Quick little walk to the beach, the chairs and umbrellas were set up for us every morning.

Short walk to beach in quiet community

We had a great stay at High Cotton. This was an extended family vacation with ages ranging from 2-70, we loved the house and short walk to the beach. The chairs being preset on the beach made it so easy to get down there with small kids each day. Alex and team were super responsive and it was incredibly easy to check in. Would have loved room darkening shades vs the light diffusing shades in the bedrooms as it’s quite bright at night but other than that - no notes! Will stay again!

Gorgeous Home!

This was our 1st time in Destin and we truly fell in love with it, but what made it even better was our stay in this gorgeous home at High Cotton in the Shipwatch Community. The home was conveniently located within walking distance to a private beach which displayed powdery white sand and turquoise waters. The sunsets there were amazing too!! We made so many beautiful memories with friends & family in that home and look forward to coming back again soon!!

Celebration at High Cotton

The home was beautiful and equipped with everything that we needed. Great space with comfortable beds. We celebrated my mom’s 80th birthday with family and friends, 12 staying there and plenty of room for more. The elevator was the bonus. Any requests from the host were met with a quick response. The kids enjoyed the heated pool. Great vacay.

Pristine Property

This home was perfect for our family of eleven. The beach is literally steps from the home. Additionally, the beach is never crowded! The home is beautifully decorated and spotless! Appliances are very nice and new! If you have younger children the back sliding door has an alarm to alert you when children go out to the pool! We hope to return next year.

Well equipped and walking distance to beach

We absolutely loved our stay at High Cotton! Everything was perfect. The kitchen was very well equipped with every appliance and piece of cookware you could ever need. We especially loved having our own private chairs set up for us on the beach every day and a beach that is never crowded! The walking distance to the beach and house was also super convenient and allowed us to go back to the house for lunch and then back to the beach. Will hope to return next year!

High Cotton 101 Shipwatch, Miramar Beach, Florida

Best VRBO EVER! New, first class property. 2 minute walk to beach. Very nicely decorated, excellent kitchen with all utensils and a nice, poolside BBQ grill. Two blocks from grocery, pharmacy, restaurants and bars. First Class in all ways. My family and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Absolutely wonderful home!

High Cotton is an absolutely wonderful and gorgeous home. It was well appointed, especially the kitchen having anything you could need. The elevator was a life saver for our folks and another bonus was the umbrellas set up at the beach for us every day. We were living in luxury. It is located in a great area. Close to shopping, plenty of restaurants, and grocery stores but on a quiet street. I would highly recommend this property. We hope to come back next year.

Took the whole family to the beach. This house was perfect for all 13 of us and could have fit more comfortably. Great location in Private community with an easy 1 minute walk to the beach. Would recommend.
