Lovely area and house

The house was very clean and comfortable and met all our needs. We were very grateful for the heated pool and had fun driving to golf cart short distances. Would definitely recommend for families!!!

Great place for a family of five to stay!

We loved our stay at “A Wave” in Destin! The location is perfect as it is very close to beach access and all the shops and restaurants you can ask for. The beach access was super convenient. The boardwalk to crystal beach is a stones throw away from the house and you have a spot with two chairs and an umbrella reserved for you. The house was extremely clean and has all the amenities and essentials you need for your stay. Can’t forget about the golf cart, which was very fun to drive around the neighborhood and nearby restaurants on the beach. I hope to bring our family back to “A Wave” in the future!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location with an excellent management group. They were extremely attentive and easy with booking process. The home is in need of renovation and upgrade. We did have a few roaches and the out door furniture was very worn. There was also a few mold areas on floor and behind couch. The maintenance on wash machine and pull out sleeper was promptly addressed. Destin is a beautiful area for family fun

6/10 Okay

Owners were nice, house was ok.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were very excited to arrive at the house which seemed wonderful in pictures. The location was excellent and the golf cart was our favorite part! I’m only reviewing this comparing it to other homes we’ve rented nearby. Maybe our expectations were high because of the price we paid for it. First of all, the house needs a little bit of updates. The furniture in the living room were not comfortable, seemed very old and even the sofa bed would bend in the middle. There was no pantry, we had to put everything on the countertop. The bathtub we used upstairs would fill up to our ankles in only the first 5 min. The pool was nice, just seemed like the cleaning lady wouldn’t make it feel welcoming. All of the pillows from the chairs were everywhere but on the chairs, maybe they set them to dry but didn’t put them back on. All in all, the owners were helpful when the AC stopped working, they took care of it quickly. But the house needs a little more updates all around.

Great Rentsl

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our rental. Any issues we had were corrected fast and efficient. Location was perfect! Included golf cart was wonderful. The private pool was great for us as most days the beach flags were red or double red. We could go to the beach for awhile, but always had the pool to cool off in. Close to everything you would need. Perfect for our family of 7.

Lovely home and great location!

Absolutely loved this house! The location was superb and we were able to use their golf cart to access groceries, restaurants, book store and shopping. They have a lovely private pool, a short walk to the beach and the complimentary beach chairs with umbrella took it to the next level. All the beds were comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. We’ve been coming to Destin for 15 years and this house felt like a home away from home. We will definitely be returning.

Great location and private pool

Location is really good, close to beach. Beach chair service was a great perk. Kitchen fully stocked and comfy beds. Pictures were accurate for house. House was clean and comfortable. As pics show it’s a little dated in decor/finishes, but again accurately represented. Heater on pool worked great for 65 degree spring days. Didn’t know the owner lived on-site when booking, but it was not intrusive (and they were very kind). Lots of spring breakers in the area, but sheriff did a good job monitoring. Would stay again with our family.

Very nice and clean place to stay. Would’ve been nice if there were general things like salt, pepper, sugar, tin foil, condiments, and more toilet paper. We enjoyed our stay and left some salt/pepper/extra toilet paper ☺️

Perfect family beach house

The property was PERFECT for our family of 8 — 3 couples; infant; toddler. We would love to come back again. The kitchen was FULLY stocked with cooking utensils — including a crock pot. I cannot express enough how great of a house this is for a family vacation. Only a 2-3 minute walk to the beach. Large size kitchen and living room. Bedrooms are roomy! Balcony wraps around half of the house with a great view. Nice, clean and friendly neighborhood. Pool was kept clean with plenty of seating and kids toys — also can catch plenty of sun by the pool all day. Propane gas grill pool-side worked great for us cooking steaks! The front yard has wonderful greenery which can keep you cool — enjoy coffee in the morning on the front porch while looking at the greenery and while your little ones play in the “Forrest”.

Solid place to stay with great property management

Overall the experience was very good. The property was as described and the pool was a valuable amenity (very clean). The beach service and the proximity to the beach were great too! The location was away from all of the hubbub of town, but still offered a nice retreat from the craziness of the area. It was not far from the restaurants and bars. There are two items which had me take away one star from my experience. 1. The outside decking was very sketchy with many gaps and very aged wood (consistent with other reviewers) 2. I found it very odd that the owners of the property lived in the garage during our stay. They were very nice people, but it felt like we lacked privacy other properties would offer. I would be remiss if I didn’t by name mention Frangista Beach Properties for their constant communication, easy checking/out, and hospitality. I would highly recommend working with them. With a little upgrading/maintenance this place would be a full 5 star stay!
