House is very roomy but there are stairs everywhere. Our group enjoyed the living area with the kitchen the best. House has plenty of space for large groups. Nice pool and a short walk to the beach.

Great location! Amazing house with pool!

The neighborhood was very nice and just a quick walk across the street to a private beach. The house was really large and laid out for a lot of privacy with tons of bathrooms! Some of the furniture could be updated but overall it was nicely appointed and clean. We would definitely stay there again!

Destin trip

The house was perfect for our family. It was clean and spacious and very close to the beach. The pool was clean and there was plenty of seating and equipment to use at the pool and beach. The staff was responsive when we had a need. We would definitely return.

Great place!

Awesome location with easy access to the beach. Heated pool was great. Game room with ping pong table was fun. All beach toys with wagon provided, just needed a few more “beach” chairs. Great driveway for kids to ride the bikes, also provided. Lots of gathering space for our family and made for a great family Thanksgiving.

Mixed review

Great space for a large group. We had 8 adults and a toddler. The younger group really enjoyed the game room. We all loved the pool and decks. If you love to cook you may want to bring your own pans. We had a few problems that Vacasa took care of quickly. Close to the beach and stores.

Beware!

The property was spacious, pool was great. The bunk beds do not have rails! My granddaughter fell off the top bunk and got a concussion and broke her clavicle. We encountered cockroaches and ants.

Sea esta is a nice place to stay

When i drove up, the grass wasnt cut and the garbage cans were full of trash. One call and the trash was picked up. After that, everything was great. The house was very spacious. Inside was clean. The beds were comfortable. I would definitely stay again

I would give this place a 5 if the property managers were more scrutinized with the cleaning crew. The house is not cleaned properly. Cleanliness is the number one complain in almost all reviews.

Few steps to beach-100’s steps in house

We experienced ants, roaches and dead bugs stuck to walls on the front door landing. The cleanliness was adequate but unsightly rusted air vents should get a fresh spray paint. We never could figure out the pool light and all the ping paddles were broken with 2 usable balls. Nothing a trip to Target couldn’t fix and I left the balls for the next guest but took the paddles I bought. The wagon would have been an excellent addition to our beach trips if not for the completely flat and gashed tire. I’m not sure I would rent this house again just because I have foot problems that are exasperated by stairs. One more excellent thing about this house was the amount of full bathrooms, that was definitely one of the best things besides the proximity to the beach.

Sea esta

If I could give this 3.5 stars I would because I don’t feel like 3 is fair. Top points to this home are LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! The walk to the beach is a breeze & it is a short drive to all major restaurants/bars etc. The house comes decently stocked with kitchen supplies and also about 7 beach chairs a tent and a wagon (no one has mentioned this previously and we ended up renting chairs prior to arrival and did not use). This house is also huge. It is great for large groups and everyone can essentially have their own space! It was about 50:50 on bed comfortability but I felt like this was to be expected in a vacation home. As previously mentioned in other reviews if you are not comfortable with stairs this is not the house for you! You have to take the stairs to get anywhere in the home, but this was not an issue for our group! Our only issues really was the house was not very clean. There were stains on the sheets and some of them looks as if they hadn’t been washed. The counter tops and other surfaces of the home were also sticky upon arrival. The WiFi also never worked for us. Overall this was a great place to stay and we thoroughly enjoyed our girls weekend!
