Wow! We were so delighted by our beautiful accommodations and the perfect location to fully enjoy our Destin vacation. The house provided everything we needed and more, very comfortable and spacious.

This is our 9Th year staying in Destin and we throughly enjoyed ourself. The realty company is exceptional and the house is a beautiful home in a great location. My one complaint is the living area furniture, especially the dining room which needs tended to. Every home we have rented has seating for the amount of people the house is advertised to accommodate. In this case the house sleeps 14 and had 5 functional chairs making it difficult for family dinners.

Manager's Response

Thank you for your incredible loyalty and kind words about your stay and our team! We’re glad you enjoyed the home and location. We appreciate your feedback about the living area and dining room furniture and the owner has since replaced with 8 new chairs! We look forward to welcoming you back for your next visit!

This is one of the most fabulous beach houses that I have ever seen. Steps away from a private beach, pool, hot tub, and the house itself is insane. So many amazing porches, bedrooms, and amenities. I have stayed here quite a few time with friends and there is just simply no other house in Destin that could compare. It literally feels like a dream staying here. 5 stars & beyond!!! I cannot wait to go back.

Overall

Beautiful home in prime location . it offered all the amenities one could possibly need and then some from the decor which was warm and welcoming to all the necessary supplies one would need when staying with friends and family. The amazing added luxury was having the elevator to take our luggage up to the top floors, this is certainly something most homes do not offer that I have ever stayed in.Also appreciated was the short walk to the beautiful beach with the panhandles, powder white sand beaches, and crystal clear turquoise waters, and array of restaurants shops and activities are a short distance away . I highly recommend this home and hope to visit there again one day.

Manager's Response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the home, its thoughtful amenities, and especially the convenience of the elevator—such a great feature for a comfortable stay.

Destin has always been a location we love to vacation at. This house was a perfect choice. We enjoyed the short walk to the gorgeous beach and pool. It has all the comforts of home, including beach chairs, big kitchen, large dining room table and plenty of entertaining space. This house features an elevator which made moving the luggage in and out a smooth and painless transition. The house has a cozy and inviting feeling. We enjoyed the evening sitting on the sun deck looking out on the Gulf and morning coffee on the front porch. We truly enjoyed our beautiful bedroom and spacious walk-in closet as well. We look forward to enjoying our next vacation here and know you will too!!

Ocean Villa is beautiful with plentiful amenities and comfortable beds. Having the elevator was a plus for taking luggage to the upstairs bedrooms. The furnishings were up to date and are exactly as pictured on the website. The property was extremely clean and well-maintained. Location was wonderful--steps to the beach and to the community pool. My Vacation Haven management team provided excellent customer service. On a couple occasions when we contacted them for minor maintenance details, they were at the property within an hour each time and solved the problem. We highly recommend this property; our family of twelve rates this property as our best beach vacation rental. We all agreed that we would like to book Ocean Villa again for future stays.

We had a wonderful experience in ocean villa. The elevator was so handy for my elderly grandparents and the house is so close to beach access! My vacation Haven was so quick to respond any time I reached out! The house is beautifully decorated! We had 3 loud children with us, surprisingly when the bedroom doors are shut you can’t hear any of the loudness from hallways or downstairs! This made it so much more enjoyable for the adults to sleep in (which has always been a problem in previous homes we have stayed in). Only thing that would have made it even better was the third floor room being closed off so my 2 year old could not run freely down the stairs and less noise traveling to third floor.

Manager's Response

Sarah, It is wonderful to hear that Ocean Villa was such a great fit for your family! The elevator is most definitely a great plus and having the beach so close is a wonderful thing. We would love to help you book your next family vacation let us know when you are ready!
