Destin Beach House - Happy Harbor

We had a very nice week! There was a hiccup with our reservation, but panhandle getaways went out of their way to ensure we had a beautiful place to stay and had a peaceful vacation. They were extremely responsive, friendly and helpful. The home they put us in was spotless, and the beds were very comfortable. The short walk to a peaceful part of the beach was ideal. We're leaving rested and excited to return next year. We would rent from Panhandle Getaways again 🌞

We had a wonderful two weeks at this house! We came with our family of 4 and our dog and there was plenty of space for us to spread out. We loved the dock and pool, both provided ample entertainment when we weren’t out at the beach or on the boat. When we arrived, our door code didn’t work. However, there was an immediate response from the Panhandle team which was so appreciated! For the price per night, it would have been nice to have a more equipped kitchen (slightly nicer pots / pans, etc) as well as a working ice maker and all doors being able to lock. We did have an issue with a repair man arriving without being alerted, which was alarming only because they had the code to the house. I called Panhandle immediately and the representative was very apologetic. Overall, this was a wonderful home with amazing proximity of all that Destin has to offer!

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad your family of four, plus your pup, had such a great two weeks with plenty of room to spread out. It sounds like the dock and pool were a hit, and it's easy to see why with so much to enjoy between the beach and the boat. We're also glad our team could respond right away when the door code gave you trouble. We appreciate your thoughtful notes. Your comments about the kitchen items, the ice maker, and the door locks have been shared with our team for review, and we're always happy to deliver additional items upon request, so please call or text our team during any future stay. We also understand how the unannounced maintenance visit was unsettling, and we're sorry for the alarm it caused. Your feedback helps us make sure guests are always alerted ahead of any visit. Thank you for staying with us. You captured Happy Harbor and its wonderful proximity to Destin beautifully, and we would love to welcome you and your family back again soon!

In the photos there are free docks for 2 boats, and in fact you can only use 1 dock, there was enough space for the trailers but they are prohibited in the huge driveway, there was an efficient ice machine and some utensils in the kitchen, for the price only that needs correction, however, a good location.
