This beautiful property was everything we were looking for in a vacation home. The description is exactly what you get. The pool was warm and the very very short walk to the beach was perfect. We had the most amazing vacation.

Christmas Vacation

We rented the place so our combined family could be together but also have some privacy. The two houses combined with the pool in between was perfect. The place was beautifully decorated, the kitchen was well stocked for cooking, and the heated pool was perfect!The location was ideal, steps from the beach, and close to shopping. We had a wonderful time! Thank you for sharing your lovely beach home!!

Just a couple things to note

We had a wonderful stay! The pool was great, and it was an easy walk to the beach (although the gate code wouldn't work from the outside - we just reached around and entered the code on the other side). The endless hot water in the showers was mentioned several times by the family, plenty of parking, a cabinet full of games, and good AC in both houses. Contact with the owner was easy with prompt replies. He was quick to get someone to fix a couple of items broken by previous guests and found by the cleaning team. Unfortunately, the large oven was broken when we arrived on Saturday and couldn't be fixed until late afternoon Friday. One of those things that happens - and the owner had the parts on order when we arrived - just a real bummer for us as we planned to cook every meal. If you are bringing small children you should know that there is no door for the bedroom in the gatehouse. That was quite difficult with a little one. The only real constructive negative I would mention is no closet in the gatehouse (just a couple of drawers under the bunks), so the kitchen became the closet for the family staying there. Also no closet or drawers in the main house 3-bed bunk room. These are just good things to know as you plan room assignments! The location is wonderful for the beach, grocery store, and everything else! They have great videos of the place on YouTube!

Great location

Location and space were both great. We enjoyed the pool having a mix of shade and sun. Negative was the oven didn't work. This was a known issue that wasn't communicated to us ahead of time (found out after reporting it), so some of our groceries went unused. Waiting on parts to fix and things having issues is understood, but would have preferred to know up front. We easily could have packed an air fryer or bought different groceries. Right side of oven didn't work at all, left side only got up temp at highest setting and burnt most things in the oven. Unfortunate on the oven as the rest of the space and trip was great.

What a location!!

Our family travels every year down to Destin and there are 8 of us that vary from young kids to adults - so, the first thing I’m always looking for is an easy walk to the beach…and this place delivered! It’s across 30A and house away from the beach gate, maybe a 30 second walk until your feet are in the sand. Great house with plenty of living space and the pool topped it off. Awesome communication with Duane as well. We weren’t ready to leave and thankfully the place was available to extend another day - just a GREAT spot for families who go to beach daily!!

Family

My grandkids were bitten by ants on the beds. The sheets might have been clean, maybe, according to owner, but they had all kinds of stains on them. We rewashed all of them, wasting a day of my vacation and purchased our own sheets to cover all the beds. Some pillows had mold or mildew growing on them. I sprayed with a disinfectant and we still did not use. The cupboards and drawers in kitchen were in total disarray and I spent a few hours organizing them and cleaning items in them. Housecleaner was there 2.5 hours in to our start time and still was not cleaned and totally disinfected as suggested in ad for property. Pool was filthy and owner had to call them to come clean it before we could use it. As was outside grill, had to be cleaned after owner called housekeeping. The dryer vent is filthy and takes over two hours to dry small loads. Lots of light bulbs were burned out (four in my bathroom alone). My daughter had a light hanging out the wall. There was a bloody handprint on a pillow (or a Doritos handprint, really not sure, but disgusting). There are zero beach towels, and zero black wash cloths. There were not 25 white towels nor 25 white wash cloths. The private beach access is misleading as the picture on ad does not show that this address is prohibited from using the private access and will be arrested for trespassing. Silly string was left on upper part of walks from previous guests. Brick fell off kitchen wall, etc….. the list goes on.

We had a great family vacation at the house. It’s truly a short distance to the private beach and we loved that we could rent beach chairs and umbrellas. We also rent a golf cart and enjoyed driving it around the area. We will definitely be back.

Family Beach Vacay

We took our extended family to the beach! There were 15 people total, 4 families. The separate carriage house made getting quiet time and privacy so much easier. The large kitchen and dining area in the main house was perfect for gathering for meals and games! The pool/hot tub combo was exactly what we needed to entertain kids and adults after resting up from a day at the beach. The location is amazing! It was an easy walk to to the beach to set up our tent and chairs even with 7 kids in tow. And you could walk or take a quick drive to dinner and activities. 100% recommend this rental!

Beautiful accommodations just steps away from the Beach!

We loved staying at Beach Break! The kitchen was amazing with so many great features and the pool area was perfect for our group as we had High School kids and College students. Lots of parking if you have several cars in your party. The TV’s were regular broadcasting instead of the smart TV’s in most rentals. The house was very comfortable and provided everything we needed. Our host was very gracious and responded to inquiries that we had upon arrival very quickly. The beach is just steps away and thru one private gate. We had a great spring break and would definitely stay here again!!!

About the host

Hosted by Duane Goff

Host profile image
Welcome to Beach Break! We are the Goff's. We have lived in various parts of Florida, from Tampa all the way down to the Everglades. Years ago, work brought my parents to Tennessee and that's where we've called home since. Beach lovers at heart, the Goff family has been vacationing in Destin for the last decade. Finding just the right place to fit our crew while keeping our privacy has been tough at times. Traveling with toddlers to senior citizens has also posed challenge on occasion. But when we found Beach Break, we knew it was the one. It provided the space, privacy and security that my wife enjoys as a "pool person" and it also provided that quick and private access to the beach that I wanted as a "beach bum". Only crossing one 2 lane road with 25mph speed zone is no problem at all and i can put my feet in the sand after walking just 45 seconds. The private gated entry to your own section of the beach, away from the hustle and bustle of the public beach crowds, is a real win for our family. We hope you enjoy your time at Beach Break as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

This property is absolutely amazing with many customizations. The original owner did not rent the home so it was not built with a lot of the "cutting corners" that some of the homes built for rental may have. This is definitely noticed when you see the huge crown moldings and the luxurious chefs kitchen on the 2nd level of the main home as well as the 3rd floor bathroom that's customized for a king. We really enjoy the 8 different decks on the east and west side of the homes so that you can have a full view of Destin area and the crystal beaches. Having the private oasis in between the main home and the carriage home has been ideal. The pool is very large with plenty of room for the kids floats and the whirlpool is great to sit around and chat. We like the covered grill area and spending evening hours around the pool long after the sun has set. The carriage home having an additional full kitchen helps tremendously as well and provides additional privacy for larger groups. What's better than renting one beach house? Getting 2 for the price of 1!!!!
