Vacation home

My family and I wanted to travel home but wanted to come with our dogs. This home was perfect. We loved it. Beach was a quick walk away.

Our after Christmas get away

Great location for this property and it was such a nice home, and not your typical beach home! The home was very private but close to everything. This home had everything you need if you didn't want to leave during your stay - very private pool/grill area and the kitchen had everything you need.

Dune Drive

We arrived earlier than expected and the owner granted us an early check-in, which was really great. There were 5 of us plus our dog and there was more than enough room for all of us. The house was clean and the pool stayed clean all week. Just a short walk to the beach and the owners conveniently had two wagons to pull our stuff in, which was great. There is a public access point to the beach very close too, with lifeguards and beach assistants. The water was really nice all week. I would definitely recommend this property to any family going to Santa Rosa Beach.

Almost perfect.

Home was clean and had everything we could possibly need to make our stay wonderful. Even had boogie boards for kids to use at beach. They loved that. Also loved having a private pool and cookout area. It was enjoyed by all. Only complaints were a minor issue with the access code and a full load of towels left in washer for us to dry and fold However I believe that was due to a recent management change and not recurring issues. I highly recommend this type of vacation stay over hotels.

Disappointing

We selected this home specifically for the private pool. Upon arrival the pool was non-operational, dirty/cloudy. We immediately reported and no action was taken until after 3:00pm on the day before we left. They sent a pool cleaner which didn’t make much change. Since leaving we requested compensation since the rate was based on amenities and have been ignored by the owner. Would not recommend.

Location Wonderful; Bed situation misleading....

We just spent 4 nights here in July, 2024. First, the location was excellent. It is truly a 4 minute walk from the beach. It is a 20 minute drive to Destin, which has all of the "tourist" stuff, but we were purposefully trying to stay away from that. The master bedroom had a true king. The upstairs advertised a king, but was really 2 twins pushed together - very uncomfortable. There was no soap in the shower, nor were there basic seasonings (salt or pepper). We had to buy this plus paper towels and toilet paper - perhaps this should be included, especially considering the price per night. There is a private pool, but much smaller than the picture suggests. The perimeter of the house needs some TLC - not well taken care of. Overall it was fine, but not amazing and (again for the price) a disappointment.

Great location, good house

We stayed here for about a week with 7 adults, a toddler, and a dog. This place is extremely dog friendly which was great. Our dog loved the yard and they even provided food and water dishes and a dog bed. There are three bedrooms and fold out couches in the living room. The fold out couches are pretty comfortable for a fold out couch. Most of the floors are tile so sound does carry quite a bit. The stairs were not toddler friendly but it wasn’t a huge issue as she slept on the main floor. The location really is nice. It’s an easy walk to a clean and not too busy beach. The neighborhood is very quiet and there is ample privacy and parking on the property. We were at this property in May and one of our biggest complaints had to do with the yard. The listing advertised a grill and there is one in the backyard but we discovered it was completely rusted through only after purchasing a lot of food to grill. The backyard also had a lot of mosquitos and other bugs which disappointed us as a big reason we booked this place is for the fenced in yard and pool. The yard was definitely not well maintained which we attribute some of the bug problems to. They supplied a washer/dryer with detergent, some beach toys and umbrella, a keurig with k-cups, bath towels, and a lot of kitchen things that were helpful for cooking. I suggest purchasing food storage containers and ziplock bags if you plan on cooking. Overall great place and would stay here again.

Beach Trip May 2023

We have stayed at this residence for a few years now. Primarily due to its awesome location to the beach! Also we love the small pool and the fact it doesn’t have a ton of steps for my senior dog to navigate. Check in process is easy. The only thing I would say is that the dwelling is in need of updating and some minor repair work. There was some mold On the walls in the master bathroom and the stairs to the 2nd level are very loud and in need of repair/updating. She has a ton of kitchen utensils, dishes and small electrics. The oven/stove is new and has convection and air frying options. The dishwasher is older and needs to get mounted to the counter as it starts to fall forward when the dishwasher shelves are weighted with dishes and pulled forward. You might want to bring your own pillows for sleeping too. She has a bunch of beach chairs, 2 wagons and some wave boards as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The fixes are small. Nothing tragic just in need of some TLC.

Great Vacation Getaway

We were able to check in early which was nice to be able to start our day early. There was 4 adults & out 2 small yorkies and we had plenty of room to move around and be comfortable. One downfall is that the upstairs bed room that is listed as a king is actually 2 twins pushed together. The kitchen had all utensils, pots, pans that we needed to cook any meal. the gas grill was very convenient as well. We cooked every breakfast and grilled every lunch and dinner. The pool was a big plus as well and was very clean. Will definitely stay again.

Neighborhood gem

3 bedroom house with 2.5 bathroom located short walk from the beach. Enjoyed the covered patio next to the pool. One of the most stocked kitchens with typical items. Really made things easy!

If you’re hot, cut a fan on

They had a smart thermostat so ir was locked and controlled by the property manager. I text several times saying it was hot and asking to cut the temp down. I was sent screen shots of the temp settings and was told to cut the fan on. We realized all the vents downstairs were closed. So there’s no way the screenshot of the temp settings throughout the house were accurate because the vents were closed. It was frustrating to beg for cool air and to be told to cut a fan on. We did not have any other problems. I wouldn’t want to stay at this particular house again.

Perfect get away

The home is very clean and very inviting. I was bummed that we did not bring our dogs because it is so dog friendly. Its a nice big space and perfect for families. The pool area is a nice place relax. I love all the trees and was surprised to find that the pull remained nice and clean. I expect the pull to be full of leaves especially after the rain but it never was. Id definately reconsider this place for the future.

Excellent experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. House was very clean. Kitchen, bedrooms, bath were all well stocked with necessities. Having the pool and fenced in yard was a definite plus as we took our fur babies with us. It was very nice having the pool in the evenings after we returned from the beach. Would book this home again.

Great stay

Very nice well appointed home. Had everything and then some. We brought beach chairs but didn’t need them as there were 4 plus a wagon to pull everything in to the beach! The only thing you need at this house is your food and spices! Everything including clothes washing pods, dishwasher liquid, toilet paper, trash bags, coffee things you normally only get one of was there! We brought way more than we needed not knowing how well appointed it was. Loved the pool and backyard as well. Very close to public beach access. Good time had by all👍

Beautiful place

Was a very quiet calming location. Very nice home! Not far from many restaurants, beaches, and activities! Renting a golf cart was fun and only really transportation needed unless planing on going far. Elmos was about the best food (as far as sea food) but not great service. Beaches were beautiful bit definitely worth going to state park beaches! Property owner was very easy to work with. Enjoy your stay as we did🥰

Great location and nice pool

Pros: We enjoyed the location of this house and how pet friendly the owner is. It is a great yard for our dog to be with us while we hung by the pool. Easy walk to the beach and a great restaurant on the corner. Nice neighborhood for morning and evening walks. Cons: The steps in the master bedroom and bath. This should be noted in the posting as some guests would not be able to stay at this house. The house is not as equipped as other VRBO home we have used in the past. Kitchen supplies are minimal, usually like to make one dinner while renting it would have been a challenge. No bowls for snacks by the pool, no towels for pool use we had to go buy some. Glad we brought our own pillows and our travel mugs.
