In short, we had a great vacation and the house was amazing, especially the pool. It is a great location and size for a large family. There was plenty of room for our 4 teenage girls, a 5 year old, a 2 year old, our daughter and her husband, and my wife and I. Both the pool and outdoor grill were professionally cleaned while we were there, so that was a bonus! The beach was a short walk, and not very crowded, even in peak June season. Most of the previous reviews were pretty accurate and the house almost lived up to our expectations, however...

The down side: a June 10th 2025 review (we arrived on June 21st) mentioned issues with the oven, and we had a similar plight. It took hours to reach 350 degrees, and our food never actually cooked. The worst part was the smell of gas the last time we used it, which, of course, made us stop trying. MVH sent out a maintenance rep the next day, but the repair was beyond their ability, so last I heard when we were checking out was that they had a contractor coming to fix it.

Also, there are many beds in the house, but I tried out 3 of the 5 non-bunk beds, and had to eventually sleep on the couch as they were WAY too old and soft and need to be replaced (in my opinion).

And finally, the outdoor area needed some TLC with paint and touch up, but that didn't detract too much from our daily pool experience.

Overall, it was a great place to stay, and MVH did the best they could to take care of our needs.

Manager's Response

We are glad that the home was amazing and the pool was one of the highlights of your stay. We are grateful for your report on the oven. This has been corrected for our future guest, and we apologize it was not in great working condition during your stay. Thank you for your comments on items not being what you expected. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, as it helps us to continually improve the guest experience. We would be grateful to help you plan your next amazing vacation!

Gorgeous house

Reviewed on 2025-06-10 by Tom carlson , Raleigh, NC United States

Overall

This was a beautiful home. Kitchen is very well stocked. Very close to beach an easy walk. One thing was not clear before we arrived but the home has an agreement with a beach service company. When you arrive go down to the beach and speak to one of the men there. They will set you up with chairs and umbrellas. They were great. While the house is gorgeous and roomy there is not a lot of gathering room for the amount of people it sleeps. But I would not let this stop you from renting. Appliances are top notch although we did have an issue with oven which the company addressed right away and we are satisfied with the outcome. Aside from the house the town of Destin is very busy. Traffic is very heavy. Keep this in mind. Beach was not overcrowded however. All in all this is a beautiful home to vacation in.

Manager's Response

Thank you for the thoughtful and helpful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the beautiful home, well-stocked kitchen, and easy beach access. We appreciate you pointing out the beach chair service—it’s a great tip for future guests! While the gathering space may be limited for the number the home sleeps, we're happy to hear it didn’t take away from your experience. We're also glad our team could quickly address the oven issue to your satisfaction. Destin can definitely get busy, but it’s wonderful to hear the beach remained peaceful. We’d love to welcome you back again soon!

Perfect home for 4-5 couples with children. Kitchen area is smaller than expected. Had a couple of issues upon check in, but they all were fixed within 24 hours. Heated pool upgrade option was enjoyed by all. Beautiful home. Small suggestion for owner. Hooks for bath towels on the back of the doors in bathrooms. This home came with 2 beach chairs and umbrella set up daily by beach staff. 3-4 minute walk to touch the water. Outdoor grill was a high quality grill. Another suggestion for owner. Refrigerator in garage.

Thank you for your thoughtful review!

We had an amazing week at this amazing home! First of all the management was top of the line and they even have their own phone app you can download and it gives you all the information you will need for your stay. The home is perfect for large family’s and has a bunk room on first floor with 6 big bunks and each have a tv of their own. The elevator makes it so easy to get luggage and groceries to the second and third floors. The second floor living area had a large area to hang out and the kitchen had all the u tinsels we needed. The view from every level was amazing with the lake in the back and the top observation deck. The pool was big and Perfect every day with that same amazing view and the gas grill and tv that worked perfect. Then you’re only literally a 2-3 minute walk away from your own private beach entrance with beach services for umbrellas and chairs that were on point. The beach wasn’t crowded and you’re surrounded by mostly families. The subdivision is private and feels very safe and no traffic. Then you can use the walk way to cross the lake and a short walk away are little stores, candy shop, ice cream, pizza, and a place for breakfast. The kids enjoyed walking over and we felt safe letting them go. I’ve stayed in many vacation homes, but this one was by far the best experience I’ve ever had! You will not regret staying here!

The house was great! We had 15 people and everyone had enough room. The pool with the lake view is the best part of the house! Someone had mentioned that the sun is never on the pool, but we never had that problem. We ran into two problems of a sink staying clogged and outside TV not working. We called about it and they were out the next day. They said the TV needed to be replaced outside, so that was a bummer we never got to use it. Overall, great house that has everything you need! We’ve stayed in 5 other houses in the dunes of Destin and nothing beats this one with the lake view pool!

This house was wonderful! So clean and a short walk to the beach. The elevator was a plus and pleasant surprise. We had a minor problem with the pool not being heated when I paid in advance but customer service refunded us promptly and apologized. We would definitely rent this house again! The only bad thing was the beach service from Sunset Beach Services. We paid for the entire week in advance and the guys did not have our chairs out every day and when they did, either someone was in our seats or we were set up in different spots every day and the guys acted as if they didn't want to help us. This was unfortunate because when you rent this house you MUST use the company that services this subdivision - Sunset Beach Services. Other than the beach service - we had a wonderful time. We have rented many houses and I have to say this was the first time the online pictures ACTUALLY looked the same in person. Usually the pictures are misleading and you never know what you will get when you arrive. LOL Thanks again for a great stay!

We take the whole family (kids, their spouses, and grandkids) every year to Destin. Always looking for a great property to stay in together. This property met all our expectations. Top notch layout and design. Modern appliances. Large refrigerator, which is needed for our crew. The grand kids loved the bunk room with the TV's on each bunk. The pool area works extremely well for us with room to swim, get sun, or grill - all while watching TV if we wanted.

The house was clean and in great shape - looked brand new. The location in the Dunes is perfect. Close to everything, short walk to beach, private. Had a super view of the lake.

No real issues to deal with as far as My Vacation Haven is concerned, just a late entry access code was the only miss, everything else went as expected.

Definitely would recommend this property, and would definitely book it again.
