Beautiful home ,great location and plenty of room for our family. Pool and hot tub great as well. We really enjoyed the golf cart. Although home is beautiful it needs some upkeep. Things are worn and in need of replacement. Outdoor fire table/pit had one chair at it and it was broke. Kitchen chairs look nice but very worn and sink thru the frame. Two bathrooms downstairs fans did not appear to work , one bedroom sheets were not clean, hair on sheets… these are all simple things and they didn’t damper our vacay , home is beautiful overall.

The home was perfect. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. A short trip by LSV to the beach. They allowed us to have our small dog and company. Worked with Travel Life Vacations and they were helpful and easy to work with. The home was very clean and had everything you would need in a kitchen. Full laundry available. Highly recommended.

Bugs dirt surrounding all door ways and windows. Curtains falling down. No wall electrical power in upstairs bathroom. Vent in bathroom did not work downstairs. Sliding doors extremely difficult to open and close. Kitchen cabinets need repaired and painted. Chairs outside broken. Master bed matress extremely toooo soft and just very old. Bunk beds are going to fall down. Not water in master shower and tub spout spills water from ceiling which gets everywhere and causes mold.

Beautiful home but some places in the home were not clean. Upstairs deck was really dirty. The two chairs by fire pit are broke. The cushions needed to be replaced. The chairs at the dinning room table wobbled . So did one of the blue chairs in living room. And there were only 7 forks. But it was about making memories with my family and they were maid. You let use have our dogs in your home. Your pool and hot tub were amazing. I would rent your home again. I just thank it needs a little updating.

Casa Esmeralda
This house is very spacious so you aren’t on top of each other. There were 9 of us, 3 were kids. The pool is a good size for beach properties and the view of the lake is great!

Family Trip 2023
This was our first time to Destin, 1st VRBO and 1st family vacation with our grandsons. The home and location was perfect for 7 adults and 2 little boys. Sara and Carlos were very accommodating and always responded to us immediately. We loved the lake view, quiet area and short walk to the beach. We can’t wait to return!
