The property was beautiful and equipped with lots of games and entertainment. This was our first annual 1st cousins trip and it was amazing. The neighborhood was nice, quiet, not far from the beach and restaurants. The property manager supplied us with lots of information needed to enjoy our trip beforehand. The check in and out process was simple and easy. I highly recommend.

Magnolia Retreat

The Magnolia Retreat was amazing. The owners/managers thought of every minute detail, down to ensuring there was charcoal available for the green egg smoker. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed our time there, especially when the weather was less than desirable. There was always something for the kids to do. The Magnolia Retreat will definitely be on our list of places to rent in the future.

Wonderful Family Vacation

What a beautiful house. I'm a neat freak and very particular with my cleaning. I was shocked how clean everything was. It was definitely up to my standards. Loved all the king size beds for the adults. Kids loved the bunk bed rooms. Having the golf cart to bring all of the beach stuff was so helpful. We just loved everything about our stay at the Magnolia Retreat!! Can't wait to stay here again!!

Golfers go to Destin

Could not wait to get there and hated to leave. What a great house. Four of our golfers had their wives and all had King Suites. This house has it all. The pictures you see are what you get. Will be back next year for sure. Ladies, 3 blocks to the beach. Men, less than 2 miles to 4 of the best golf courses anywhere.

Excellent place!

We stayed with other families over Spring break and everything about this house was excellent! Very spacious and plenty of room for four families. Loved that every room had its own bathroom. Communication with the owners/property management was above expectations. Had an issue with the golf cart which was unfortunate, but quickly resolved. Some areas and furniture are starting to show some wear and tear, but I guess that is to be expected with rental units like these. Overall we had an excellent stay and would highly recommend.

Great Stay

First let me start by saying I booked this house for my beach destination wedding. From the beginning entrance into the retreat I was in awwww at the updated modern feel. The house was gorgeous and looked exactly like the photos advertised. The golf cart was a plus and was my first time driving one which was so much fun. The master sweet on the third floor with the balcony view made me (the bride) feel like a true queen haha. The only cons were that there was a bold dark stain on the living room couch upon arrival. Thank you so much Destin Dreamers for making my wedding stay one to remember.

Amazing home, Amazing condition

Went here with four other families in the fall. I had just hurt my ankle and the main level bedroom was only option for me. It was perfect for me and my wife and very comfortable. I did manage to tour the entire home once and I can tell you this was probably the nicest property we have stayed at over the years in terms of condition, amenities, supplies, location, etc. We had a total of 12 people at the house and at no time did anyone feel cramped. Oh, and the property manager came by to check on our stay a couple of times to see if we needed anything. While the property is a few blocks from the beach, the 6-person cart was perfect to shuttle my gimpy butt to the beach. I cannot speak to the other units in this complex but the owners of this property obviously take very good care of the house for their guests.

Nice but issues

The home is beautiful, and the management company easy to communicate with. However, there were many things that happened during our near 2 week stay that should be noted. After arriving, it was clear that the cleaning company did not do the job that we would have hoped. Dirty dishes in the cabinets, thick dust on several items, smeared mirrors, and worst of all, dirty bedding (as well as unfinished beds - the flat sheets were tucked neatly underneath the pillows waiting for us to put them on). The management company was very gracious in giving us all new sheets and towels (even though there was just a small amount dirty). Outside of the cleaning issues, there was no swing in the back, the table on the third floor had several chairs that were broken, the refrigerator was leaking onto the floor. But worst of all there was mold in the washing machine as well as the air vent in the bathroom. Since mold is a health hazard, this was very difficult to overlook. On the plus side, the golf cart was a lot of fun to use! The beach was literally just four or five minutes away via the golf cart. Back patio was a wonderful place to barbecue. It's covered and has a fan making it cool in the Florida heat. Kitchen and living area were perfect for our large family to gather. Beds were very comfortable with nice sized rooms. Only good things to say about the management company. They were always available to us, and tried their best to make good out of the things that were less than.

Multi-family Haven

I had the pleasure to stay at Magnolia Retreat in September along with three other families. The house is absolutely pristine and really added to our beach trip. Every room was beautifully decorated with no details overlooked. The layout of the house is welcoming, comfortable and spacious. The kitchen is the heart of this home. Appliances were brand new, and the huge island was our usual gathering place. Cabinets was fully stocked, so if you decide to eat-in - all cook wear and kitchen supplies were easy to find and in great condition. The refrigerator is large and able to hold plenty of food for multiple families. I am super picky when it comes to beds and my sleep, and Magnolia Retreat's beds were super comfortable. I slept fantastic every night of our stay. Bedding and linens were clean and plentiful. And the fact that every bedroom has it's own bathroom was SUPER convenient when traveling with other families. There is so much space available for groups to gather and hang out, as well as separate spaces for kids to have their own retreat. We spent many mornings enjoying our coffee from our private deck before dealing with the kids! We loved having the golf cart to quickly get to the beach, even though many times we walked since it was a short stroll. The cart was great to drop off chairs, umbrella's and heavier items, and was large enough to fit 6 people. We enjoyed having the pool conveniently across the way to wind down after a fun day. I would recommend staying at Magnolia Retreat to young families, couples and family reunions. The location is great with lots of restaurants close by, and you simply cannot find a nicer beach. I cannot wait for our next trip. Thank you for renting such a beautiful home to enjoy!

Great House Great Family retreat

Perfect except a bit further from beach than suggested. That however was mitigated by a brand new electric seven person golf cart and the great beach in Miramar. Also parking at the beach is day only but more available than reported. Parking was not just by the Pompano Joe restaurant but also in a free county lot across the street. Parking near the Retreat mail box was scooped up fast by early birds. Parking at the houses was great. While not allowed on the street a car could slide in next to the street on the ample house parking apron. The house itself was fantastic. The green egg a hit. It had all we needed. The fridge and freezer ample for our 20 person stay. The great room terrific. And so much more for the kids and family. They provided ten beach towels. I asked before we came if they had them and the rental agent did not know. Not a biggy but we brought our own. Huge family room tv and tv’s throughout. An electric system as you entered that was computer centric. This is a modern house with lots of toys for the kids and comfort for the adults. All kings except one with two queens that was probably the most popular. It is a huge room. The bedrooms also were private and comfortable. For big families the bunk rooms outstanding. Every one had a terrific time and the Magnolia Retreat did that. It was well worth the cost. One more thing. The community pool was clean and well used. The kids loved it. Just across the street. It had a terrific sitting area and seven green eggs.

Amazing!!!

Thank you so much for your services while we stayed at Magnolia!!. The house was well equipped with all we needed for a crowd of 21. Also, there was plenty space for everyone. The boys enjoyed the pool table the most, plenty games to have fun. The golf cart was a plus. We had a couple of issues with the car, but they were fixed immediately. My only suggestion will be to change the cover of the sofa in the living, but that didn't stop us from enjoying this great house. Also We left a couple of things at the house, and nobody have contacted us to follow up on this. I know this is our responsibility, but at least as a courtesy would be nice to say we looked after those things. Thank you for allowing us to had such a great time in such a great house.... we will be back for sure! Vilma

Magnolia Magic!

I stayed at the Magnolia Retreat this past October with several of my high school girlfriends and it was nothing short of magical. To start, the unit is incredibly appointed, right out of Chip and Joanna's own TV show. It was super close to the beach within working distance which made heading to the beach to lay out (with the golf cart, chairs and umbrella provided by the unit), take a walk on the beautifully manicured path or an early morning run, easy. The rooms and beds were spacious and comfortable, each with our own bathrooms! We loved hanging on the various decks and having a cocktail before heading out for the night. One of the days we decided to check out the community pool which was awesome. Its super close so we could run back to the house if/when we wanted snacks, and the overhang and tables gave plenty of options for taking a break from the sun, playing card games, watching the TVs and more. Can't say enough about this place except perhaps I wish I lived in it full time! I will be back for sure!

Available on-site or by call and text from 8 AM to 5 PM, six days a week, we also provide emergency support after hours and on Sundays. Whether you're looking for local recommendations or need assistance during your stay, the Destin Dreamers team is always ready to help.

We can't wait to welcome you to the Destin Dreamers family and help you create memories that will last a lifetime!
