My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary. We booked last minute and it was great. Here are a few things of note: there is a dehumidifier in the living room that fills up quickly, it works great to keep the place feeling nice, and it makes a pleasant white noise sound. The umbrella on the porch made for an excellent experience, despite some of the chairs needing to be replaced. I would also reccomend a couple of lounging chairs. The dunes before the water are very beautiful. They also provide a sound barrier to ocean, which my husband and I did miss from the porch. There are many finishing boats in the morning, which are very pretty to watch. There many tour boats, which we assume come from Destin Harbor, to drop off people to stay on the beach during the day. Although this could seem like a nuisance, the sound barrier the dunes provide blocked the noise from the house. Although the beach in front of the house is filled with many people from the tours boats, walking down the beach and past the jettie, more than makes up for what could be precieved as annoying. My husband and I felt like we had the whole beach to ourselves, we saw many dolphins, and enjoyed watching the big boats go out to sea. We used the umbrella, chairs, and cooler provided which all worked great! You should be fairly active to take the approximate 1/3 mile treck through a sandy path in the dunes, past the blue umbrella chairs, and past jettie to this wonderful beach experience. Would reccomend!
