'The Lily Pad' with Guest House, Pool, Jacuzzi & Pool Table

Before I get started, I must apologize to Kirby for not doing this sooner as we have been so busy lately but there was no way I could forget to share how awesome the Lily Pad was. The house was very clean, well maintained (especially since we arrived the week after Isaac), and provided everything we could have wanted. The photos do not even do it justice. We had a large group of about 20 and had more than enough room to all be comfortable. The house is so well furnished and provides ample space in all sitting areas. The pool and hot tub were so much fun, if we weren't on the beach or eating meals, we were outside enjoying the pool area. We utilized the game area upstairs to play pool and foosball, as well as the large upstairs deck (the wicker lounge chair is so comfy!) The guest house was really nice and provided a 2nd full kitchen including another refrigerator and stove which came in handy. The beach was only a short few blocks walk away and the wagon came in handy to bring our beach stuff to and from the house. Other than going to the beach and store, we didn't even need to leave the house because we literally had everything we needed! All we had to bring was ourselves, clothes, toiletries, and food to cook. Kirby was so nice and great to work with. He was very helpful and so accommodating. There's definitely a reason the Lily Pad has so many positive reviews. I had zero doubts going into this vacation because I knew it would be exactly as we expected, and it ended up being even better than we imagined! The combination of a fabulous home and great owners is exactly what a vacation should be about. I would recommend the Lily Pad to anyone and everyone. We want to start making this an annual trip and will definitely be staying at the Lily Pad again. Thank you so much Kirby, and it was very nice to be able to meet you and Linda!

We couldn't have asked for anything better for our 15 member extended family vacation. My wife, kids and I have been out of the country, so this was our first opportunity to get together for a vacation since returning to the states. We had 8 adults and 7 children from 5-15. What excited us most about this property is how spacious it was. We were never cramped, there were plenty of places to sleep, and the bonus game room was perfect for playing pool and just hanging out. We brought the Wii and PS3 video game systems, and the kids were able to play upstairs at night after swimming while the adults followed the Olympic coverage. The pool was amazing, the hot tub was a hit, the brand new grill was perfect for grilling. But what we loved most was the seclusion. Even though we were just minutes from some of the prettiest beaches in the world, because the guesthouse was in front of the main property, we were able to swim in complete seclusion. My wife was most impressed with the fully stocked kitchen. There was nothing to buy or bring except for food. Kirby was so accommodating ... very professional and so very nice. If you're thinking of going to Destin anytime soon, please consider the Lily Pad. You won't be disappointed!!

We loved staying at the Lily Pad for our Family Summer get-to-gether. We had so much room and the game room came in handy with all our little ones. Kirby was just great to work with. He had two pac-n-plays for us since we had two babies. He provided everything that we needed. Also, most important, it was very clean and well equipped. We had everything in the kitchen that we needed and more. It served our needs well and we do plan to stay at the Lily Pad again. Rebecca Shofner
