Photos and Description of the Destin vacation house rental 4BR/4BA, Great Gulf Views; Steps to the Beach; Playroom

See our hurricane refund policy for worry free hurricane protection. We are the second house on Terra Cotta from Scenic Gulf Drive. Consider this proximity to the gulf and great gulf views and the luxuriousness of the house when comparing us to other properties. Welcome to 'The Hand painted Villa', a beautiful three story house with gulf views offered by a creative artist. You can see and hear the waves from our home. You do not need a golf cart or car to go to the beach because we are only yards away. We are a five minute walk with kids to the beach. Decorated cottage-style, this delightful home has everything to make your vacation unforgettably enjoyable and restful with a private space for everyone. Hand painted furniture with an aged, carefree look invites you into each spacious room. Murals of seascapes throughout create a relaxing atmosphere.

Great Family Vacation

Allie09 Houston, TX
Review Submitted: July 9, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
This home was perfect for our beach vacation. The villa is in the perfect location. It was very close to the beach and not surrounded by huge condos. You are also close to many restaurants, grocery stores and shopping malls. The house had everything we needed. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need and then some. The bedrooms were more than adequate and the beds were very comfortable. It's the perfect house for children. We loved the playroom, the children had the best time. We enjoyed walking to the beach every day. We set up a canopy on the beach and left it there for the whole week. The kids played putt putt golf and we also went on a boat tour to see the dolphins and to watch the fireworks.
The handpainted murals are more beautiful in person.
The owners were great to work with and answered all of our questions. We are already talking about staying again next year.

Multi Family Destin Vacation

Meinostergate Family Vacation Overland Park, Kansas
Review Submitted: June 14, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
My family decided to rent a house in Destin to celebrate my 40th Birthday. We ended up renting this house with 2 other couples and their kids. We had 13 total 6 adults, 7 kids. This house we perfect in every way. The location of the house was a 3 minute walk to the beach. The owners supplied us with everything you need for the beach (wagons, chairs, coolers ect). This house in centrally located. It is a few miles from the Destin Commons, and Walmart where we did most of our grocery shopping. The house is set up perfectly for families who like to cook or just relax. The bunk room was where most of the kids hung out. It gave them privacy and us adults peace. We hung out outside playing poker and enjoying the ocean views, and the sound of the ocean waves. We will return again in a few years. I highly recommend this property to any family. It has that home away from home feel to it.

Fantastic Vacation

Nana and Papa Newton, Kansas, USA
Review Submitted: January 24, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
This has to have been one of the best vacations and rentals we have ever had. The house was awesome and equipped with anything you could ever need. We especially loved the play room for children, all of the sandtoys, wagons and beach umbrellas for going to the beach. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals and the gas grill out back was nice to have also. The interior decor is beautiful from all of the murals painted on the walls to hand decorated lamps and furniture. In no time at all we felt right at home. My grandson is still asking to go back to Papa's beach house.

The home owners were great to deal with and quick to respond to any questions we had. There is a lot to see and do in the Destin area with our favorite being just hanging out at the beach. We would definetly return and highly recommend the Hand Painted Villa.

Generosity at every level

Donna43 Chickasha, Ok, USA
Review Submitted: August 20, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Everything was as represented and even better at this property. It was the most amazing week for our extended family of 12. Our grandchildren didn't want to leave and some wanted to move there. The owners provided high quality appliances, pans, dishes, silverware, washer and dryer, etc. A lovely assortment of soaps, shampoos, lotions plus cotton balls. The view from the 3rd floor is exquisite and the 2nd floor views are good as well. The playroom is such a bonus; I've never seen this in any other rental. It's huge, has every kind of toy and playroom equipment. Each family had privacy plus great together areas. I highly recommend this gorgeous hand painted villa. The paintings are even better in person than in the pictures. They even provided coolers and beach bags for us.
In addition to the sugar sand beach and aqua blue waters, we enjoyed Baytown, the malls, Bud and Allie's restaurant in the Santa Rosa beach area, and the recreation area with rides and miniature golf. There is a lot to enjoy in Destin.
