Good location, adequate property

This cottage is situated in a very crowded vacation area but only a 4-5 minute walk to the beach. The house is comfortable with a layout conducive to family gatherings. The "bedroom" with a bed and a trundle bed worked for our two kids, but I'm surprised the owner is able to call this a 4th bedroom as it is essentially a large closet without windows. The master bedroom/bath is very nice. A few areas for improvement--there was no hair dryer on the premises, which seemed like an oversight. Toilet paper and paper towels were not stocked for 8 people. The pillow shams and coverlets/quilts are not washed between stays. There are detailed instructions on all the cleaning the renters must do before the professional cleaning crew comes in--including washing and drying beach towels ("Make sure you wash them on Friday so they're dry on Saturday"), running the dishwasher ("if they won't all fit in one load, start them on Friday"), sweeping and vaccuming the entire premises, wiping down all counters and the refrigerator. We would expect to pick up after ourselves but were a bit put off with all the chores listed. Also, it doesn't seem like there was so much left for the cleaning crew that check out is 10 AM but check in is not possible until 4 PM. The pools on the property are nice, and there is one just outside the patio doors. However, the closer one closed in the late afternoons/early evenings in a way that was not explained by staff and seemed very arbitrary. (We finally found out that there was a problem with the pool light.) The problem here was communication of property staff not giving reasons for kicking us out. We could not get the gas grills near the pools to ignite. Overall, we enjoyed the area, but would probably look for a comparable property if we return.

Really Perfect In Many Ways

A beautiful, comfortable property that was well designed, decorated, and accommodating for our family. Loved the decor, appliances and the kitchen with every needed tool, dish and pan. Best of all our beach stays anywhere regarding our needs. Upstairs 3 rooms for our daughter, husband, and 3 little ones. Wonderful Master Suite off the patio for us Grandparents, who were happy with no stairs to negotiate. The upstairs crew loved their separate space for naps and bedtime. Walk to the Gulf beach, return for pool time steps from the cottage, lunch on the patio or pool’s tables, then naps for the children. Close to many things.

Great time!

We loved our stay on this property! Easy access to the beach and a pool basically in the “backyard”. The paved path to the beach was short enough for our preschoolers to walk and the umbrella and chairs provided were a huge bonus. We could easily drive to Destin and 30A for additional entertainment. Will be back!

Great home to visit with your family

Great home . Few things to consider , you can only have a golf cart at the property if you are a property owner. The beach is a far walk so if you have health problems this is something to consider . Mall and food is very close by , but there is a lot of road construction which makes it difficult to navigate in and out of the property. But with even these obstacles I would still stay here because the house is worth it ! Thanks

Close to the beach

The home is lovely, comfortable and has great proximity to the beach. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend this cottage to anyone headed to Destin. We were excited to add our cork to the jar and writing about our experiences in the book provided. The small problems we noticed upon arriving were quickly corrected! As we were preparing for check out we found the vacuum had no suction. Overall a great place and would stay there again!

Totally Awesome

We have stayed in numerous vacation rentals but this one has it all. The cottage is very close to the beach just a 2 to 3 minute walk with a beautiful white sand beach. There were 2 large pools, one within steps, workout center, numerous restaurants within walking distance and an entire shopping center right next to the Mainsail complex. The cottage itself had everything you would ever need to relax and enjoy your vacation and is decorated beautifully. The large back patio was definitely a nice option. We will be back to this piece of paradise!!
