We had a work conference in the area. The Property was amazing. We had 7 guests, sleep comfortably with most having a private bathroom. The kitchen and great room were spacious with a fabulous couch. The game room is huge and well equipped. Spent some time in the pool as well. About a 5 minute walk to beach access. A all around. I would not consider staying anywhere else in the area.
This house had everything we wanted and was in a great location. Awesome kitchen, bedrooms, bar/entertainment in the garage, pool, and location. Would recommend to anyone interested in going to Destin
We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay this past weekend at Captain's Quarters. The game room in particular was a great spot to watch college football and enjoy some pool + ping pong. Highly recommend to anyone vacationing to Destin.
What a fantastic location for a s bike graduation trip. Accommodations were fantastic. Distance to the beach was perfect. Lots of parking if needed. The place was so aesthetic an every detail was considered in making it a beach vibe. Only complaint we have is that they didn’t have pool heat. They said they did, we paid for it, but then the day before we went there they said it was broken. Major disappointment. We do appreciate being able to check out late, but it did come with a fee. We would definitely go back again.
We were very pleased with our stay at Captains Quarters. They were very accommodating and allowed us to check-in early after a long drive due to having trouble finding a hotel mid-way (we didn't realize there was a big game that weekend and all hotels were booked). They also allowed me to remove the rugs to accommodate my elderly mother who trips easily. Everyone loved the house, it was a very short walk to the beach, and the game room was a big hit!
This was a well appointed beach house. Great location- close to beach, stores, and restaurants. The game room was a highlight. The house provided starter essentials, so bring extra trash bags, dishwasher & laundry soap
This was one of the best houses we have rented! The entry process was easy and so simple. We came into a clean, fully stocked with towels and linens! There was enough space for everyone to have fun together and then able to have alone time when needed! Pool was the right size for everyone to enjoy!
-can't wait to book this place again!!
The place is very nice. The pool heat is awesome. Location is close to the beach. They have a wagon and some chairs. There was a pack and play and box fans. I would recommend staying there. The pool area could use a few more chairs for such a large home. Over all great place.
I came with my best friends and two of my sisters to celebrate those of us that turned 50 this year. The house was beautiful, very clean and a very small walk to the beach. We loved the game room and really enjoyed that we each had our own bathrooms in our rooms and let's not forget the huge king beds. The house was worth the price we paid as we had more than enough space, a pool, huge living room and open kitchen. Absolutely loved our time here!!
We had an amazing time with our family. 16 People, Ages ranged from 70 to 9! Very nice set-up. Game room/Bar was great! We never felt like there was never enough room for all of us! Short walk to beach and short drive to all other surrounding beach towns. Highly Recommended!
I stayed here with 7 of my adult nieces. The house had everything we needed - including coffee if we needed it. (I bought pods for the Keurig but to my surprise, there was a tub of ground coffee in the cupboard.) The bedrooms were clean and spacious, and so were the common areas. The rooms with the bunkbeds were warmer than the rest of the house. Otherwise, no complaints. Would definitely stay again!
Clean, roomy, beachy....everything we wanted for our vacation. Convenient to the beach with an easy walk. We LOVED the game room, which was soundproof from the rest of the house and a perfect evening retreat after putting the babies to bed. Clean pool, lots of beach stuff, big yard for games and dogs. Bring some of your own big skillets or pans (there was only one 9x13) if you intend to cook big meals. They only had big pots. The appliances were all very nice in the kitchen and the laundry room. If you have babies that need their own dark rooms, a small pack 'n play will just fit in some of the bathrooms. Definitely recommend this house!
Overall a wonderful experience. A lot more stairs than expected. It’s actually 3 levels due to the game room. It’s an older home but decorated wonderfully. The game room is great. The kids really enjoyed it. There are trundle beds in both bunk rooms but one can’t be used due to the ladder on another bunk. The bunk rooms share a bathroom and one of the king suites bathroom is actually a hall bath. For our group this wasn’t a problem but would be if you need 4 king suites with en-suite baths My only real negative is that you can’t see or get to the pool from inside the house, You have to go outside and through a gate to access the pool. Overall a great house and great location!!
Awesome property! We enjoyed the pool table, ping pong, and the pool itself. Quick and convenient location to beach access and all of the restaurants and bars. Would book again 10/10 times!
Great home and location! Easy access to the beach and all of the amenities! Game room was awesome for the kids, teens and adults! Plenty of outdoor space, and the interior decor downstairs felt like a ship and dock!
This was perfect for our family of eight adults and nine kids ranging from 2-13. The beach was close, the pool gave another water option that was used every day, and the game room was great for all ages. If we had a question, Daniel answered immediately. Everyone loved it!
This is our 2nd time to stay here. We hope to come again !!!
Ellen was the lady I arranged our trip with. She was very organized and so easy to talk to. Daniel was always pleasant and showed up quickly when we needed him. It's the perfect place for a large family.
We loved the house. The nautical theme was cute. The rooms were large. The game room was exceptional. The neighborhood was nice and fairly quiet. Loved the private beach!
Would recommend to friends and family.
This is a perfect house for a large group! The game room is amazing and so is the large kitchen/ family room. One of the trundle beds can not be used which causes us to use the couch bed some
I would definitely rent this again
The house was beautiful! Partial ocean view. A little bust crossing the road. Busier than I usually like.. Difficult to cross the street. Beach was beautiful. White sands snd crystal clear water! The property manager responded quickly to all our concerns. Lots to do in the area. Good start with house supplies..
