Nice Vacation Rental with lots of extras
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: Overall I would describe our stay as pleasant. Its a nice rental and they provide ample items for the beach as well as two golf carts. The kids also loved the ping pong table. The only complaint was that the pool is on the small side and is alot smaller than it appears in the pictures. Besides that its a lovely property with plenty of space and is in a good area. The rental company was also super responsive to any issues.

Dangerous, Dirty and Not Recommend
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife tripped over an improperly placed raised paver stone around the pool and sprained her wrist, multiple abrasions on knees, hands and face and caused a slight concussion with a black eye and pain around her orbital socket that has lasted for 3 weeks so far. The swimming pool is deceivingly small and turned our white swim suits and t-shirts green and 3 ladies in our family's blonde hair green. Many of the kitchen accessories were dirty and had to be washed before initial use. The neighborhood, golf carts and proximity to the beach are very nice. Jamie at Glass Casa was very nice to work with through the issues, but evidently the owners don't believe my wife's pain, due to their property negligence is worth even a partial refund...very sad for my wife!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second year at Pearl of Destiny and it is a perfect place for our family. The house is just what we wanted with plenty of space and everything we were looking for. The location to the beach and with the pool was perfect for everyone especially our little ones. The only note I would have for the owners is the second refrigerator for the second year in a row was not working well filling with water each day. Guests who look to enjoy this level of rental would expect everything to be working.That being said it is a lovely house with everything one is looking for. I would highly recommend this location to anyone.

The home overall was ok. The guest house was not useable due to the moisture and associated smell. Communication with property manager was not great. One golf cart was broken and the governor on them are set below the speed limit on main roads.

Great home!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved having our family in this home. Great location, great neighborhood, we liked the golf carts included and bikes. The only negative I would say is the home had some things that needed fixing. -the grill only worked on one side and took forever to grill for everyone-the fridge and freezer drawers were very difficult to roll in and out - the fridge in laundry room leaked - the mattress on the pull out sofa in master bedroom was horribly thinThose are easy fixes and would make it even better. Minor stuff but great space and it was good having the pool toys and beach supplies there. It would help to add to the listing what the house includes so guests know what they do and don’t need to bring. We would absolutely stay here again! Loved it!

Great space!
Our stay was amazing! We had 15 people total- 7 of which were children. The home itself had more space than expected and everyone was surprised at area of individual space/rooms/beds. However the best part was that there was large areas where we all could gather and spend time together. The house was located in a cul de sac on a quiet street. It was not far from the beach or from our favorite restaurant. The golf carts were great and provided a faster/easier/more fun way to get around.

The house was beautiful and in a great location. Great amenities however we felt constantly targeted by an employee. The community was not friendly to vacationers. I made a complaint but did not receive a response.

Great Family Get Away
The property was just as pictured (except the size of the pool is a bit tinier than it looks) Very clean. There was plenty of room for all eleven of us! Plenty of sleeping space. And plenty of room to get to yourself when needed. The kitchen could use a bit of updating on items, but it was still great! We enjoyed our week, just wished we had been able to book longer!

Great House in Destiny East
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a great house with wonderful amenities. The pictures accurately reflect the house (except as other reviews mentioned-the pool fountain didn't work). Very spacious house-great living room with seating for everyone. Well-stocked kitchen-had air fryer, crock pot, plenty of dishes, cutlery, pots, and pans. They only provide a few dishwasher soap pods and laundry soap pods so you need to bring your own if you are staying more than 1-2 days. Also might need extra garbage bags, paper towels, toilet paper. Lots of beach equipment available-several chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, 1 boogie board and 1 skim board plus corn hole. Ping Pong table in garage but we couldn't find the net holder to set it up. (2) 6-seater golf carts and 4 bikes included. It was great to take the golf carts to the club area about .7 miles from the house and the beach about .5 miles from the house. Club area has the tennis courts/basketball hoop (they have lights and are open until 10 pm), fitness center, hot tub, movie theater room (reserve your own time between 10AM-3PM). Outdoor pools not heated except for Spring Break so couldn't swim in them Thanksgiving week, but hot tub was nice. Great to take golf carts to beach. Can walk also, but easier to bring stuff in the golf carts. The home's pool would be warm to swim in if you pay to have it heated. The bedrooms were great--the bunk room has twin over double beds x2 plus 2 twin trundle beds underneath. There is also a little pull-out couch in the master BR on the main level. The pool house is perfect for more privacy for 2 people. The only stressful thing was I had to call the emergency number posted on the house because they didn't send me the codes to get in. But they called back within 5 minutes and gave me everything we needed so it was fine.

Nice house, Unlucky weather
Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Host was responsive to the issues we did have. We did not get our chec-in code until well after 5pm and that's because we called. They INSISTED that they sent them all out to their guests by 130pm, like they INSISTED. I explained that we had not received ours....then he found the SYSTEM error and got us our code. Hot water barely worked in the guest house but they came and tried to fix it quickly. They left the cold water running while filling the pool...for hours. It was 68 outside, we paid a steep fee for a heated pool and could not even use it one of the days. They did come address that quickly. One of the golf carts was damaged when we checked in and they knew about it and came and fixed it. The other golf cart broke on first use due to worn grommets, windshield smashed but nobody got hurt. They were great once you called them, but to have all of these issues to begin with? It was just little headaches and inconveniences that we didn't expect.

Fabulous time in Destin
Our family vacation in Destin East was a huge hit with the entire family! Our proximity to the beach, the spacious living areas and built in pool were fabulous! We were slightly disappointed in the “tired” conditions in the property, not all of appliances worked properly and furniture was in less than ideal condition.

We wish it had been closer to beach but golf carts were helpful for carrying everyone to the beach. Overall we had a great time and would recommend to others if you have a large group and don't mind a short ride to the beach.

Better Than Expected
The pictures don’t do this home justice even though they look great. In person is even better. Absolutely loved everything except the toilet paper that was a step down from gas station TP as if that is possible. Otherwise we loved the spacious kitchen with its large fridge, two ovens, two sinks, two dishwashers and independent ice maker (super convenient). The living room is spacious and comfortable to relax and recover from a day at the beach. Also enjoyable was the whole house sound system. Loved this stay!

One handicapped toilet downstairs would have been a luxury for the aged vacationers. The toilets were extremely low and hard to get on and up from.
