We have been to the Destin area a dozen times. This was by far my favorite stay.
The house is contemporary, current, and super clean. We did not share that space with anyone else the entire stay including parking. Everything we wanted was there and in great working condition. The kitchen and all the appliances were state of the art. There was an abundance of sitting areas. We watched a couple of movies on the large screen TVs, and really enjoyed the set up of the family room lounge area. The back yard had a very nice large covered dining area, and an awesome grill. Everything was super clean.
Even though you have your own private home, the house is nestled in a resort like community with other nice homes, a private gulf beach, a heated swimming pool, tennis courts, a place to shoot hoops, and a sand volleyball court. All of these things are within a short walking distance and because the community is not too large, we never had to deal with crowds.
The location was central to everything we love about Destin. Centered within the gorgeous gulf beaches. All of our favorite shopping and dining was never more than a 15 minute drive even with traffic. We walked to a couple restaurants. Most of our commuting was by foot or by the bicycles at the house that were there for our use.
The communication with the owner was phenomenal. He really cares. He was available anytime for all of our silly questions.
We will come back.
We will tell others.
