Ocean Front Escape

Over all the 5 days we were there was very nice....the weather could have been warmer , was windy and cool....house was good and clean..however we did not have a can opener? Those were probably the only shortcomings.
The visit was good

The location really makes up for all of the issues we had with the house.
Hair in the beds and showers, none of the bathroom doors locked, you can see through the windows in the showers and by the toilets the little bamboo shades are see through!! Like I said location was perfect.

Great large home with wonderful beach access. Good for multiple families.

We had a wonderful time!! Great location. Close to outlets, grocery stores, drugstores and restaurants... but right on the beach.. we will book for next year .

The location of this house is amazing, but the rest of the experience is mediocre for the price. The A/C was not working on the day we arrived and all of the windows are screwed shut! So, you are on the beach but you can't open any of the windows to get the ocean breeze. What a shame! Several of the windows are under construction or taped up and need to be repaired. The BBQ is completely corroded, full of rust and disgusting and unusable, so it shouldn't even be at the house. The Master bedroom doesn't even have a balcony, but the smaller children's rooms do, which is a total waste. There were no beach chairs or towels provided - FOR A HOUSE ON THE BEACH?? We were given 4 trash bags and 2 rolls of paper towels for a house for a week with several people staying there. The property management needs to step it up a notch and do a better job with this house for the price and location. I would not consider it a "luxury" rental compared to other houses I have stayed in.

Myfamily enjoyed Ocean Front Escape. The home was fully equipped with everything needed. Very convenient location and having the beach in the back yard was Great!
No more extended stay hotels for us. We will definitely plan to stay here on our next visit.

Lovely home on the beach. Family had a great time

This place was amazing! We loved it! The location was absolutely fantastic! We were close to so many good restaurants and the best part is that it was RIGHT ON the beach! It was a very nice beach too! We will definitely be back next year! Highly recommended!!

Our family had a wonderful vacation there. We will be back again for sure.

We took our Family for a week long Dream Vacation! The House is Beautiful & Very Clean! The Beach is AMAZING, It Gets the Best Beach we have been too (including Mexico)! We would recommend this place to Everyone! You literally walk out your back door to the Beach/Ocean! All of the people in the area were all very friendly! The grocery store & other stores were all very close! Its in a great Location! Our only note would be next time to bring extra blankets/pillows as we were a little short with those!

Family beach vacation just walk out the back door and you are on the beach!!! Ocean was beautiful, beach was not crowded, house was beautiful! We had a great time and highly recommend this property for beach vacation. You are close to shopping, grocery and restaurants.

My husband I are spent the past year as medical/mental health Covid first responders. We needed a break! Our daughter, son-in-law and three grands joined us for some fun in the sun. Unfortunately the entire stay had double red flags for riptides so no one could get in the water. $500 fines issued. Due to the spaciousness of this home, our vacation was still amazing! The location had us close to Captain Dave’s and other favorite family restaurants. It’s minutes away from super centers and grocery stores. Highly recommended!!!!

Check-in process was simple. House was clean, but could use some maintenance. The floorplan wasn't great, but it worked. Being right on the beach, I hoped (and assumed) that there would be a deck or patio that could have been utilized for outdoor dining or just hanging out. It was a shame to be RIGHT on the BEACH, but we didn't have an area to enjoy the outdoors. The house served it's purpose, but we will look at a different property for future stays.

October is a great month to visit the beach and Ocean Front Escape was a wonderful place to stay! Our family, with 8 adults and 2 children, loved the layout of Ocean Front Escape. Plenty of room to spread out and the sleeping situation was perfect with 4 bedrooms. The location of the house was awesome! Close to everything. Will stay her again!!

The location of the house to the ocean is awesome! Open up the back door and there is the sand. Ocean views from every room and decks to enjoy quiet reading while listening to the ocean. The house has been recently renovated with new paint, appliances, and furniture. There was pool construction on one day with a loud generator operating from 8-3 but you can’t help that. Construction happens! It’s done and new renters won’t have to worry. The internet and cable tv in the great room didn’t work during our stay. Property management contacted Comcast immediately. Comcast showed up around noon and rang the doorbell but the doorbell didn’t work so we missed the opportunity for repair. Two sets of washers and dryers make it easy to do laundry. Loved the rooftop views for sunsets.

We were very happy to have come across this beautiful property to stay. Private beach access, literally right out the back door. Fantastic views from every room and the layout of the house is just perfect to see the ocean all the time. Well supplied kitchen, nice big bedrooms and baths, balconies and that rooftop deck afforded the best view of all. Communication with the property owner was excellent the entirety of our experience with them from booking, app information, personal texts, clear though until checkout, really lovely people. We feel so fortunate to have been able to stay with them. The house is remote from the highway so there is no traffic noise, yet super close to shopping and restaurants. I absolutely would recommend this fantastic house to anyone; it has the perfect layout for at least 2 families, but is equally perfect for a couple needing a quiet getaway with nothing to do but look at that gorgeous ocean. My new favorite food find was the Real Thai Fusion. Absolutely delicious and beautiful presentation.

We had an incredible experience during our stay. The view was absolutely amazing and we were so comfortable in the house. We enjoyed waking up in the morning hearing the roar of the sea and drinking our coffee on the balcony. Just having to walk a few steps out the door and being welcomed by the beach was so special. I couldn’t imagine staying anywhere else and we look forward to visiting again.

Beautiful home with excellent beach access and views from every room. Balconies on every floor and roof top terrace.

This was my family's annual Christmas vacation and the home was perfect for us! Not to mention that once you opened the back door, you are on the beach, how awesome is that? We loved the balconies on each floor to sit out each morning to drink coffee, the indoor pool was nice, and the elevator was a life saver especially for my father that just had surgery and was still on a walker. The beds were nice and comfy and overall it was a lovely home for our family, we were all very well pleased.

Our daughter wanted a destination beach wedding and George and Patti helped make it happen. We held the small wedding (30 guests) on the beach. It was so quiet compared to other beach locations we visited in Destin. There is a (hardly used) public beach access two doors up, which was perfect for guests not staying with us to access the wedding site. The house itself is amazing and perfectly set up to give privacy to family coming together from all over. The stairs are the most convenient, but the elevator was convenient for guests with mobility issues (and unloading luggage and groceries). As with all other VRBO's you need to bring your own beach towels and salt/pepper shakers...but the kitchen was fully stocked with the cooking essentials. The bagel toaster and Keurig were used every day. The washer/dryer were quick and convenient...even though no one was originally planning on using them. The outdoor shower and foot rinse station were perfectly placed to minimize sand in the house. I would highly recommend this location and this rental group to anyone.

Rental experience was great. Staff was friendly and informative. Will use the service again. However, the house itself is a mixed review. LOVED the space, the rooms, the layout, the rooftop deck! The kitchen was great to cook in as we are all foodies. Could not have asked for a more beautiful location. But... not as clean as I would like, problems with the pool (which was much smaller than we thought), garbage pickup skipped us both days and saw some roaches. Attention to detail on cleaning (i.e. under the couches) would be recommended.

Wonderful experience from start to finish. House was perfect for our ladies weekend and can't wait to visit again!

We had a family of 6 traveling for spring break. 4 adults 2 teenagers Plenty of room for everyone, could have accommodated others. The house had everything we needed. I was very thankful for the elevator to avoid carrying our heavy luggage up the stairs. Walking out the backdown down to the beach was so nice! The entire stay was really great! The house is conveniently located by many places to eat and things to do on days we didn't go on the beach. We would book this house again!

Our experience was great, even thoughfew things in the house were not working properly:
1. The elevator never worked,
2. The two acc's in the room areas were not cooling, a technitian went to fix it during our stay, but it only cooled better for the next 24 hrs., after that period of time the acc's were not cooling properly again
3. Too many roaches, lots of them, that is very unconfortable.
Great location and property, our family had a blast even though the things mentioned before were not nice at all. Jennifer was of great help!

We LOVED our stay at Ocen Front Escape!! Location was perfect, plenty of room and the beach was beautiful!!

After booking with vrbo 10 months in advance, I received a call that my original reservation was not available- unhappy owner - literally 4 days before our vacation!!!! Fortunately, there were 2 options, I choose this one. Oh My Goodness, FANTASTIC. We had three of our sons - two married, one with infant and friends join us from Ohio. 2 master bedrooms All 4bedrooms have full bath. This place is pretty close to perfection

There were a few minor issues which the mgt. company remedied ASAP. Overall, we loved being on the beach and near any shopping we needed. We will definitely stay here again.

Amazing home on the beach. Loved the location, beautiful view of beach from every room in the home, loved the roof top deck. Lots of stairs, elevator worked most of the time. Pool is smaller than we expected but great for just cooling off. Love the open layout of the kitchen, dining room and living room. Easily accommodates everyone in the home for gathering. We had 13,fits 10 in beds and 3 on sofa sleepers. George in maintenance was great! Called him for 2 issues and had someone on it within an hour of contacting. Will definitely book this house again!!! Would not recommend for children under 6 yrs old.

The house is awesome! Location could not be any better. Beach right out the back door. 2 blocks to mall and grocery! We had a few minor issues the management company addressed immediately; just normal stuff that happens. Best place we have ever stayed! Lots of room, good open family area. The weather was not cooperative but we still had a great time!

LOCATION COULDN'T BE BETTER....WALK OUT THE BACKDOOR AND YOU'RE ON THE BEACH.

Manager's Response

We found the property to be as advertised and had no major issues.
There are a lot of steps (and an elevator) which we knew before committing. If you have young children, take a gate with you.
We prearranged the Beach service and had no issues with that.

Manager's Response

The house was amazing, plenty of room for my family. Just a couple of minor issues, breaker flipped when two people were running a hair dryer and the batteries kept going low in the smoke detectors that kept beeping, other than that, we had an amazing vacation in Destin. I would definitely rent this property again. My family had a great time!! :)

It was everything we needed and wanted as a family

Manager's Response

Everything about this place was phenomenal except for the air conditioning on the 3rd floor (floor with the kitchen & living room) did not work well during the day. We tried shutting the curtains and leaving the fans on all the time but it was still 78 degrees inside on that floor in mid-September. Also, the couch pillows and rug by the couches were covered in white dog or cat hair. However, this place was incredible and we would return, hoping that the AC was fixed by then!

Manager's Response

Ocean Front Escape is a beautiful home with an incredible view. Open the curtains and you see ocean for miles and miles. The rooftop tanning area- amazing. Great place to tan away from the sand. The house itself seems very well managed the kitchen pots and pans aren't the best if you like to cook. Really, the only downfall was small pool, but how can you complain, the view makes up for it...and you're really at the ocean for the ocean.

Manager's Response

My 81 year old mother treated the family to a wonderful vacation. the house was very nice and the location perfect. The rooftop deck was my one of the best features other than location. Being on the beach in a house such as this is a treat that should be experience at least once in your life. Everyone had a great time and really enjoyed the property and the beach.

Manager's Response

The home was well appointed, clean and very comfortable. The views are incredible. We had a great time and would highly recommend this rental. It is especially suited for couples or multiple families that want private areas as well as a central area.
