Great location, but dirty house.
The location of the house, outside patio and the pool were great. However the carpet on the stairs had a musty smell and the house needs some major TLC. Also the sheets had hairs on them and there was mouse feces in one of the cabinets. Overall not a bad house but needs a deep cleaning.

Relaxing pool and patios
Our second stay at 79 Matthew was another ideal vacation, with superb location and great amenities. There were some cleaning misses (we did NOT notice that last time) which we were able to overlook with fun pool time, time on the beach and walks to get ice cream. We enjoy this area of Destin and have had two great vacations in this house.

The house was well kept. It is walking distance to the beach. However the closest beach access only allows for about 25ft of public beach before you are trespassing on private property from the multiple private resorts. It made for very cramped beach days.

Birthday Week!
My family and I visited Destin for my birthday. It was perfect! Dottie is quick to respond to all communication and very much wanted to make sure our stay was great! The bedrooms were a good size and the beds were very comfortable. For us, Henderson State Park was our beach of choice with the umbrella/chair set up. There are plenty of beach toys at the house and we left new beach chairs so don’t go shopping before you check out the supplies! Dottie’s place is so close to everything you need to make your stay perfect!!! We will definitely be back!

loved the pool
this is in a neighborhood, beach access a block down was very limited, you had to get there early and set up, but people were nice. the condo had all this space and would not let you use anything even behind there chairs that were set up. House was nice but somewhat small for 7adults, one had to sleep on pull out couch, but the outside space was great and pool wonderful, spent a lot of time outside!

Wonderful Vacation!
First time to Destin but won’t be our last! This was such a great house to live in for a month - great location! Pool too cold to swim as it was Jan/Feb but loved sitting poolside and on the great upper deck soaking up the sun and sipping on a bevvie. Host made super dining recommendations. Great places to visit nearby, lots of shopping and antiquing and fun things to do. We shopped till we dropped at the outlet mall. Destin’s white sandy beach is one of the best we have ever seen and a very short walk from the rental house. The house was very well equipped with everything you need and host was very easy to contact and extremely responsive. Definitely would recommend this home to stay at if you want a wonderful vacation!

RE:The Best!!
We had the most amazing time in Destin, Florida! Truly, an amazing destination. The beach is extraordinary beautiful, soft sand, crystal clear, blue water, and the most amazing sunrises and sunsets you’ve ever seen. Dottie was so accommodating and helpful! The little house was just perfect for our family, 3 teenagers and one child. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the items we needed! The pool was so nice and the beach is a short walk from the front door. We went in late October- November and the weather couldn’t have been better We were so warm at the beach, but we didn’t even get sunburned. The fish are friendly and the people are too! We had delicious coffee and breakfast at Camille’s just down the street on our way to the beach! I am already dreaming of going back!!

Great location!
The house was in a perfect location, close to shopping and the beach. The layout of the house is not ideal for anyone with small children. There are a lot of steps! The beds are terribly uncomfortable. We arrived and I had poor cell service to where my code wasn’t loading. I called to ask for the code, had to leave a voicemail. While I found the code and let them know that on the voicemail, we found it odd that they didn’t just check in to make sure we were good. Overall a good experience, if the beds would have been even slightly comfortable, we would be booking another stay for sure!

Comfortable home
Comfortable, clean, very cute home. Dottie was quick to respond to our needs, especially when we locked ourselves out 1 night. We enjoyed the pool daily. You can walk to beach but Hutchinson public beach has more room then Shirah & just a couple blocks more from Shirah. Home was fantastic & would rent again on our next visit to Destin!
