About Yvonne McCarron

We are originally from Maine. Moved to the greater Atlanta area over 10 years ago.

Yvonne McCarron purchased this house in 2003
Why Yvonne McCarron chose Terra Cotta Terrace

We chose this property because we enjoy vacationing in Destin. We found this property to be in the best part of Destin: across the street from the beach and minutes away from restaurants, shopping, and Destin's many other amenities.

Handpainted Villa

5 of 5
Submitted: April 2, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
The Handpainted Villa was a great house for our family to gather. There were numerous amenities for children (i.e. four pack-n-plays, various toys, a playhouse, beach toys, wagons). There were ample places for people to sleep. The beach is right across the street. You can sit on the balconies and see and hear the beach. There is a large sidewalk that goes along the beach for walking or running. Shopping centers were very close and convenient. This is a great vacation house!
Owner's Response: Thanks for a much appreciated review that recognizes our determination to make your stay enjoyable. We are a very kid friendly vacation home which helps to make the stay for kids and adults a happier one (when your kids are happy, you are happy). The close proximity to the beach (less than 5 minute walk and wagons to transport the toddlers and coolers) makes this house very desirable. The extra comfort of screened porches creates safety for kids and reassurance for parents while keeping out flying insects.

Perfect house for families!

This house is so well thought out for families. They've thought of everything! We rented the house with 2 other families - children ages 1 year, 18 months, and 3 years old. The playroom was fantastic for them and gave them something to do when we weren't out and about. There were baby gates, a baby monitor, playpens...everything you can hope for for children. This was the only house I found while searching that seemed geared towards kids.

The beach is so close - just a walk across the street. It was very clean and never crowded. The house had beach umbrellas and chairs, so that was great too!

The owners were fabulous and always stayed in contact. They always replied very quickly to my emails. The house is in great shape and the pictures don't do it justice! All of the paintings in the house were beautiful! I wish I had that talent! :)

We had a great trip and hope to come back some day!!

Owner's Response: Thank you for your generous review. Due to many requests, we will be making the villa suitable for 4 families by adding a king bed in the bunkroom and moving some of the bunk beds into the playroom. We will be retaining some of the playroom.

This was our second year staying at the Hand Painted Villa, and we hope to make it a third visit in 2012. Our family came from Texas, Tenessee, Louisiana, and Georgia, and no one was disappointed. The spacious sleeping arrangements makes this a perfect spot for a diverse family from infants to the elderly. Every kitchen utensil, serving dish, or prep pan you can ever imagine needing is included in the convenient kitchen. An amazingly well stocked playroom will delight the children. You have to see it to believe it. Very kid friendly.! Deck areas for community gatherings are on every level of the three level clean and orderly home.

Destin is beautiful and so is this property. The artistry and attention to creating a relaxing atmosphere has been achieved masterfully. It has everything for the beach, cookouts, or those rainy afernoons when the family gathers around the various board games or chooses to watch a video. If you are hesitant - don't be! You'l love it!!!

Owner's Response: We have made special consideration to giving everyone enough room to enjoy their vacation, including a place for everyone to sit for dinner. We do not want to disappoint our renters by offering any less than the best.

A Great Family Vacation Property

5 of 5
Submitted: June 28, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the HPV. Every room contains a work of art. The setup was perfect for our group of 7 including two small children. The kid's bunkroom was nice and a great place to isolate them every night. We could keep tabs on them with the provided monitor. We loved eating meals on the screened in deck. The walk to the beach was easy as we loaded up wagons with kids, beach chairs, umbrella, and toys. We also liked being able to walk to some closeby restaurants. The kids loved the pool and we we hung out there for many hours as well. Evening walks on the beach were especially awesome. The house was well maintained and most everything you would require in the way of kitchenware was provided. I would highly recommend the Handpainted Villa for any family looking for an awesome Destin vacation!
