Great Vacation Experience for the Whole family

Our family had a wonderful "first" vacation at this house. The location is fantastic-walk to grocery store and Starbucks. The house is nicely decorated (and well organized) in a theme that makes you feel like you are at the beach. Also equipped with everything you could possibly need from corn cob holders to corkscrews to wagon/toys for kids to beach chairs. Washer/Dryer made for a lot less laundry upon our return home. The best thing about it with young kids was the gated front porch. They could run around without us having to chase them! Beach is close, maybe a 10th of a mile. Pool was excellent, though I don't think it was heated. Highly recommend spending time on the master bedroom porch...very serene. Pride of ownership shines through from thoughtful and accessible owners.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful home. I chose it based on the glowing reviews, which were certainly accurate. We were impressed with all that this home had to offer- a beautifully stocked kitchen, with any appliance or utensil we could possibly need. Enough beach towels to last a week, for the 6 of us! Movies for the kids, and a large selection of books. And the wireless internet came in handy as well. The owner (Cathy) provided amazing, detailed information about the home and the area, and we so appreciated the "welcome packet" complete with maps and area attractions. There is much to do in the area- the beautiful beach was a short walk down the road, the grocery store also in walking distance, as well as the wonderful Silver Sands Outlet mall, which the teens enjoyed (also in walking distance, a great diversion on one of the rare rainy days). The well-stocked shed provided all the beach supplies we could possibly need.
The most outstanding aspect of the whole experience was the care and attention to detail provided by the owners- they communicated with us through emails before, during, and after our vacation, to ensure that all was well, and to see if there was anything we may need (and no, there was nothing more we could have asked for).
I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anybody looking for a clean, comfortable, well-appointed home at beautiful Miramar Beach.

This property was very clean and well equipped with all the beach chairs, coolers, beach carts, towels, toys, etc.
The owner was extremely attentive to our needs.
I would definitely recommend this rental to a friend.
We loved being within walking distance of a grocery store and a fresh seafood market.
The pool was well maintained.
We also spent our evenings on the porches while watching the grandchildren play in the grass.
The wonderful outlet mall is right across the street.
The kitchen was well-stocked.

We never expected it to be so much fun. The property was charming and ideal for our family of four, with room to spare. Every need and want you could possibly think of is provided and then a few things you didn't think of. Very clean and comfortable. Great beach location, not too touristy. Worth every penny, you will not regret this choice.

The house was wonderful! Very homey, clean and had everything we needed. The neighborhood was nice and quiet also. Cathy has all the beach stuff we needed with a short walk to the beach. Cathy provided a nice package with information that was very helpful. We will add this to our list of places to come back to.

Dear Cathy and Jim,

Just back from Destin and wanted to let you know how awesome your home there is! You thought of everything! The highchair, pack-n-play, sleep cots for the twins, baby gates, even down to the sippy cups, we had everything we needed for our kids. We only had to bring our clothes. I loved being so close to the beach and once again you had everything we needed - the wagon and stroller came in handy for getting the kids and all of the beach gear you have there down to the beach. The weather was perfect, could not have been better. We spent most days at the beach and pool but loved hanging out on the porches watching the kids play in the yard in the late afternoon. We were able to play all day but with the wireless internet you have we were still able to catch up on work emails at night. It was such a great place that there is no question where we'll be staying in Destin for next year's vacation. Thanks again for lending us your home.
Blessings,
Nancy and Ben

My family and I just got back from a wonderful stay in Jim and Cathy's beautiful home. Everything anyone could possibly need was provided for us. I couldn't believe we truely only needed to bring our clothes. We all enjoyed spending time with one another on the cozy porches and comfortable living room. We are already looking forward to returning next year. This is the best place we have stayed!

Cathy, thanks again for opening your house up to our family. As a return renter we knew exactly what we were getting into. I can't think of one thing that you don't provide to make someone feel exactly at home. As a family of five we typically have to bring EVERYTHING to accomodate the kids. From the highchair to the pack-n-play, our 1 yr old daughter never missed a beat. My 3yr and teenager enjoyed all the movies that were available. Going on a beach vacation was never easier. Typically we load the van full of beach stuff...I didn't even have to use the car top carrier this year knowing what we were in for. You provide for beach accessories than one can use in a week. We can't imagine coming to Destin and not staying at your house. We certainly will be staying with you again. Thanks again for providing great memories for my family...Randy
