Family Vacation
Our group of 20 had an awesome getaway for a family vacation. The house was big enough and had plenty of space for us to hang out. The pool/hot tub area was a big hit for everyone. Daniel, the maintenance guy, did a great job of helping and communicating with us throughout our time at the house.

Dream Vacation
All 21 members of our family spent a week together at Admiral’s Palace. Each adult couple had their own bed and bathroom. There was a super cute pirate room for the 5 boys and another bed and bath for the 6 girls. The beach was really close. The kids and adults enjoyed the pool and hot tub. There was plenty of room for meals, games and tv watching.

Wonderful stay
Our group of 11 found Admiral’s Palace gorgeous, welcoming, and comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the pool, hot tub, deck, pool table area, and roof lounge. After alerting Christina to a few minor issues, those were immediately addressed. The only blip - the bushes near the pool lacked adequate pest control. The private beach access was only a short walk away. One of us left a laptop behind. Christina has been super helpful in locating and returning it. Glad to recommend this property and 850 Vacations.

July 4th week
Over all house was in good shape. Needs a little TLC like the air vents need to be cleaned. Some look like they had mold on them. Great location to beach. Roof top patio was great at night. Kitchen has no pantry and only one normal size refrigerator so plan accordingly. That was surprising for a home this big.

Great in the photos....Not so much inside
They did a great job with the marketing photos and the home is very impressive from the exterior. There were many problems and although the management company was responsive, I do not feel it was handled very professionally. There are many issues as far as cleanliness of the home and I can guarantee they do not follow any Covid guidelines. The kitchen was very disappointing. Very very un equipped and many things were broken or unavailable Things that you would normally find in a high end rental property...such as glassware. We had a party of 10 and 4 glasses in the home. I could go on and on however do not have the time. If you are especially renting in season, I certainly would not pay the price for this home

Family beach trip
Property was listed as 6000 sq feet of livable space, but true square footage was around 3300. The space was still comfortable for our group but felt this information was misleading on the initial advertising for the rental. Otherwise great location, great outdoor pool, proximity to the beach and local restaurants

This house was perfect for a girls weekend! The pool was fabulous, and it was just a short walk to the beach, which was absolutely beautiful. Slept 14 people with plenty of room to spare. There’s plenty of bars and restaurants around, but we ended up staying at the house the whole time because we didn’t want to leave! 100% recommend!

1st extended family vacation
My mother in law turned 70 and she wanted to get the family together for a large family trip. We were so pleased with this vacation home. The decor alone provided a great aura and you definitely felt like you were on vacation. Each room was decorated and themed and a bathroom was in each bedroom. Our family got here very comfortably. I will say the cleanliness could have been a tiny bit better. We found shorts in the sofa from a previous tenant. We looked in the sofas to make sure all of the kids toys were collected before we left. Also the moisture in the house was a bit much. The vents are beginning to rust and several times I personally felt water droplets from the vents over our bed. These were my only two minor complaints.

Destin beach area huge home
Good location and within a few miles of the harbor. Short walk to beach. Bedroom’s aren’t large but decent size. Two bunk rooms are for children between 5 and 17. Great common room. Wrap around decks and roof top deck are great. Needs more bedroom dressers. Hot tub is on scheduled timers so no controls if you want to use them during the day. Furniture is dated. Maintenance man very responsive to our requests. Rooms not as large as the pictures suggest Overall this was a nice place for a large group (we had 16) but for the price I expected more. The area is in high demand so should book a year or more in advance

Great family vacation
We rented this property as a family to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary and have some fun at the beach. House had a great layout with easy access to the beach. The covered pool patio and the giant rooftop made the house, although the kids would argue it was the themed bunk bed rooms! From start to finish, communication with the house mgmt company and the maintenence man Daniel was excellent.

Beautiful home with some shortcomings.
Impressive home. Elevator not working for three days serious issue for 83 year olds. Bunk rooms have no dressers or closets for clothes. There is no hand rail for entering or exiting the pool. There are no towel bars anywhere. Serious issue with clothes dryer on second level. Kitchen lack decent cookware and serving pieces. Hot tub can only be used during time set on timer. Only 16 people can eat together. Enjoyed the porches. Family enjoyed being together in spike of the inconveniences.

Family Reunion!
I seriously CANNOT say enough good things about this property! We had 19 people total and there was more than enough space for all. The kids basically lived in that heated pool. The view from the roof is amazing!! The walk to the beach takes about 2 minutes and they even have tons of chairs and toys to take with a wagon to carry it all. Every single room has its own bathroom and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook all those nights. This home met all my expectations and exceeded them! I would absolutely return to create more amazing memories!
