Awesome Beach House
We loved the Lemon Drop house!! The private pool was small, but perfect for cooling off after a day at the beach! The kitchen was well socked with everything we needed to cook our meals. Newer appliances. Spacious rooms with 3 full bathrooms! Great sized patio with relaxing chairs throughout the wrap around porches. Very close to the beach, a 2 minute walk! We got the VayKa package and had bikes and beach chairs delivered the morning we arrived to use the entire trip. The community pool is right across the street. We'd definitely stay again!!

Great location!
This property was a decent size for 3 couples with a short walk to the public beach access and Camille’s, one of our favorite coffee and eating spots. It was pretty clean with a couple dead bugs on the floor. The pool was small, but we still enjoyed it. The only bummer things were no cable in the bedrooms (we were informed the owner had not renewed) and the coffee pot didn’t work. Otherwise it was great!

Incredible!!
7 off is started at Lemon Drop and we had a fabulous time!! Very close walking distance to the beach (less than 5 minutes) and close to restaurants and stores. Don’t let the size of the pool fool you, it was very refreshing and needed after a long day at the beach. The”room for improvement” I would give is the about… coffee maker: it did not work so we bought coffee from the near by coffee shop. Laundry: bring your own pods and dried sheets to wash and dry Cleaning dishes: no sponge and very little dish detergent Other than that, we would stay here again. We had an amazing stay!!

Lemon Drop Inn was a big hit with our family
The adorable neighborhood and closeness to the beach (2 minute walk) could not be beat! The small private pool at the house was perfect for the 5 year old twins, and we all enjoyed the community pool across the street. So many restaurants close by to choose from too. We watched both the sunrise and sunset a few times because it was so close. One family member was in a wheelchair and we were able to make it work for them in the first floor bedroom.

The location is great, house is cute although a bit outdated However, First day the guest bathroom upstairs was used to bathe IT SARTED LEAKING DOWNSTAIRS ON TOP OF DINNER TABLE!! I immediately reach out to property manage & maintenance and I was told they would fix it The whole reminder of our stay we couldn’t use the bathroom because maintance showed up a day before we left saying “hell stop by tomorrow” the day we were checking out The did not addressed the issue and it was no small issue Disappointed in the lack of concer/follow up

Weren't able to change date due to critical illnesses of 2 of our party and death of family for 2
We were not able to go because 2 of our party were in ICU with COVID and the other 2 from our party had a death in the family. I tried to change the date of our stay because I knew we could not cancel and the owners would not budge. I also asked if we could get deposit and housecleaning fees back since we didn't go! Very upset with owner's lack of empathy,

Family Get away...
Pros: LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! Great size house for a family of 6 (3 couples) with 2 babies. Property manager was very responsive and willing to accommodate our request; easy to book and communicate. CONS: FILTHY FILTHY FILTHY! Roaches everywhere - live and dead. Obviously they had recently sprayed (Prop. mgr confirmed) Night time - tons of live roaches scattering. House hadnt been cleaned (other than beds) - had to go buy own cleaning supplies (prop mgr offered to come re-clean). Crawling babies were disgustingly dirty (after first hour of being there). House is in dire need of maintenance. Rotted porch railings (upstairs); very dangerous, as they werent attached. Rotted furniture (elements). House needs maintenance work done; a coat of paint and cleaned furniture. I've stayed in this neighborhood before and the location is great for all things Destin. I wouldnt stay at this location again, unless the reviews stated updates/cleaning is consistent.

Summer vacation
The location is great! The house needs a deep cleaning!! For the amount we paid I wouldn't expect anything less than perfect. Everything else was fine we really enjoyed the personal pool because the community pool always had young children there. If you need to speak to some one at The Best Beach Getaways office don't hold your breath. We left some items behind and it was almost impossible to speak to someone, and when I finally spoke to Mike (at the Panama Beach location) he was horribly RUDE! We ultimately got the items returned to us but the way he talked to me was unacceptable. I will not be staying at any property's managed by Best Beach Getaways in the future.

Fabulous location
If location and beach access are the most important thing to you then the Lemon Drop is for you! Our family of 6 was very comfortable in the 3 bedrm, 3 bath home. If cleanliness and thorough communication is your thing, keep looking. The floors and furniture need a really deep cleaning. Best Beach Getaways AND VRBO were terrible at responding to email and phone messages with questions about the home and it's amenities.

Cute and perfect location!
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We have a 5yo, 10yo, and an infant. The small pool in the back was perfect and not too deep, I was able to relax without the worry of the little one sneaking in and drowning. Just a short walk to the beach, maybe 2 minutes. Very clean and beds were nice and comfy! LOVE the wrap around porch!! Overall extremely satisfied!

Great Location
Wonderful location. We stayed here with 2 families with 4 adults and 4 children. It was a tight fit but worked perfect. The house had everything we needed. Agree that a little upkeep would be wonderful but honestly nothing broken just worn down. The floors were the only complaint. They were pretty much dirty upon arrival but everything else was clean. Should be noted that pool is not heated which we knew before booking but the neighborhood pool directly across from property is heated and was nice.
