Awesome!!
Everything was awesome. We arrived a little early but were allowed to check in if the cleaning crew was done. Since we were traveling with our dog, the owner ever suggested a restaurant that allowed dogs. By the time we did our grocery shopping, we went by the house and it was ready. We can't wait to return next year Thank you so much!

Wonderful!
The house was beautiful and close to the pool. The walk to the beach was very short. The private pavilion at the beach was so nice....Al helped us with any questions or needs. I recommend this house highly and will be back next year ðŸ˜

We had a wonderful time.
The home was amazing. Plenty of room for all of our families. We had a family reunion to celebrate my in-laws 40th anniversary, so we brought together four different families with kids. There was plenty of room to house all of us with out stepping on each other. The proximity to the pool and beach was wonderful. The house was fully stocked with dishes, appliances, pots and pans. Anything you could think of you needed to cook with, Al had it in this house. It was great. Al was very accommodating, even with last minute changes to our reservation. Thanks for allowing us to stay here. We will definitely be returning if our kids can handle the drive again!

Great house, great location, great family fun!!
This was our first time to the Destin area. We had a great time at the house and the beach. The walk to the beach is not bad. Having access to the private entry was perfect!! The beach was clean, not too crowded, and beautiful. The house accommodated 11 of us and exceeded expectations. Our only recommendation would be to account for travel time on the island. With 98 as the only main road, travel time was terrible. Make sure if you plan on leaving the development, you plan to leave early. Al was fantastic and responded to anything we needed. If we travel to the area again, we would definitely book with him!!

More Than Expected - Keeps Getting Better
This was of 5th trip to Destin & our 2nd stay at Casa Grande. Everything about this house is perfect. #1-The location. 2 minutes from the beach and a chauffeured golf cart to get you there even quicker. #2-The house itself. There were 16 of us with the youngest being 13 - we all fit, and had more than enough space, & could even find space for quiet time to relax and read. The house is spotless, the kitchen is stocked with everything you could possible need, and you just feel like you are home! #3-The owner! He is extremely responsive & very easy to work with. #4-Being so close to old hwy 98, the walking path, the restaurants, and THE BEACH! You are straight across from the entry to the private beach with an area to leave your wagon (which is provided), clean bathrooms, and plenty of hoses to clean the sand off at the end of the day. We are already looking forward to 2019, as we will be back in Destin and back at Casa Grande!

My entire family loves this home!!!!! Al did a beautiful job updating the entire downstairs and all bedrooms are spacious and have great mattresses and bedding. Everything and anything you need is supplied in the newly updated and beautiful kitchen. The air conditioning unit does an awesome job cooling the entire house and the hot water and water pressure is great in all the bathrooms and kitchen.
Plus the owner Al Appling, is the nicest and most accomodating and responsive owner you could ever want or need.
We will definitely rent this beautiful home again!!!

Wonderful Beach House

Just wanted to thank you again for a wonderful beach house. Our family had the time of their lives. I had to put one of my granddaughters in the car as she was crying so hard that she didn't want to leave the beach house and my other granddaughter woke up when they pulled in at their house and started crying and said I don't want this house I want to go back to the beach house. Needless to say all the grand kids loved it and so did the big kids. Thanks for letting us make some unforgettable memories at the casa hopefully we will return again someday soon.

This house was AMAZING! The owner is super good to work with and very accommodating! My family stayed here over the 4th of July and had a blast. The beach is a less than 5 minute walk and the pool is literally right across the street. There is also a dollar general within walking distance that is helpful for the last minute things you need for cooking. Since there we 17 of us, we cooked at the house most nights. There was more than enough room in the kitchen for cooking and seating. Bedrooms are nice size and bathrooms are nice and updated. Overall, I would highly recommend this house and working with this owner. MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT I COULDNT STAY LONGER!My ResponseThank you for your kind words and do hope you can return in the future. I really happy you enjoyed your time at the beach. Al

Great house. We had twelve people (6 adults and 6 kids) and it was super comfortable! Of the houses we saw in this neighborhood, this was one of the largest ones — updated — super well decorated and so convenient to pool and beach! We loved it!
