Amazing family vacation!
This house and location is so perfect for a family who wants a private laid back and chill beach vacation. The beach is a super short walk and was never too crowded. The house fits a family of 4 very comfortably and the pool was so nice. The beds were comfortable and the decor was very cute and classy. I would love to stay again!

Such a nice vacation place
House was clean and pretty. Very convenient with equipped ample amount of beach towels and swimming pool toys. A nice stroll distance to beach and quite neighbors. Beach was not crowded and it was swallow enough for kids playing in the water.

Amazing!
We’ve stayed in numerous rentals in the Destin/30A area over the years, and this was by far the BEST. Beautiful house, perfect location and incredible pool!! We had a minor issue with the air conditioning, but the property manager was super responsive and the issue was resolved within hours. We will be back next time we vacation in 30A!

Staycation
This was a wonderful location. Loved the house the pool. The only slip up was we did not receive the door code and had to call in when we arrived to get the information. The only key code we received was for the beach walkway.

Couldn’t be happier!
We were looking for a kid friendly home with a pool and this was a home run! The fenced in back yard kept the little ones from wandering, and I think they spent more time in the pool than anywhere else. The house is in a great neighborhood, and is beautifully updated. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, and utensils for all of our cooking. We will be back again soon!

Great Location - Central to everything
This cottage was in a great location - centrally located to Rosemary Beach, Seaside, etc. Bikes were provided - which was great, but we didn't get to use them. We had breakfast and lunch in most days bc we were working from home during the day. Dinners were all out, which was most appropriate due to the lack of cooking (pots and pans). Do not plan on cooking unless you purchase everything needed, including oil/spices/etc. The cottage was so cute and comfy. Great for a small family.

Wonderful Getaway
My family and I spent four days at this property. The check-in process was a breeze and we were even able to check-in early. That was a sweet treat! The house was completely walkable to the access point. We drove down and unloaded the gear and then drove our vehicle back to not have to carry everything. We ended up cooking every night at the house. The kitchen was well stocked with the necessary items. However, the knives were very dull and the non-stick pots were chipping. The pool was also another perk! We loved having a pool and spent many more hours in it after hours at the beach. I would add caution - many of the tiles surrounding the pool need to be re-cemented. Overall, would stay again! Thank you for sharing your home!

Wonderful Stay at White's Gulfview
We travel every year to 30A and have stayed in White's Gulfview several times, however this was the first time at this property. It was perfect for our family of four and we had a wonderful week. The house is quiet, beautifully decorated, and had every amenity that we needed. We loved having the pool, as the beach is so crowded this time of year. We brought our bikes and we always ride into the Hub, Rosemary, Alys beach areas for shopping. There are so many local restaurants still open for takeout that we cooked some, got takeout some, and ended up eating out only once at our traditional place, the Donut Hole. From the booking process, to the exit process, it couldn't have been a smoother vacation. Thanks!

Rundown & POORLY maintained
This is a first for me…I travel frequently and never leave a review on property. I read reviews and usually roll my eyes at the one “bad review” lol. So please understand this is not to complain but rather to give you an honest, factual description of our experience. Our family had high hopes for our stay at Serenity Cottage! Location=✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️ Interior Decor=cute! 4 Bikes=great bonus! But thats about it…. Upon arrival we were greeted by large cobwebs and spiders covering the front door & porch. The beds…all 3 mattresses were extremely uncomfortable!! (When you take off the linens at the end of your stay you will visibly see the worn areas) The washing machine makes a loud screeching sound The exterior, the BIGGEST disappointment, is rundown & POORLY maintained!! -weeds growing in the brick pavers around the pool -yard is covered with dry pine straw and weeds-some weeds are over 3 ft tall -numerous loose and broken bricks around the pool (this was a hazard for the kids) -pool was more like a hot tub-scorching hot!! -2 of the 4 lounge chairs were broken -yard was infested with spiders. ants, frogs and even a snake. Some of these things were reported by another client in a review on June 18, 2024 & nothing was done about the issues. I spoke with Cheryl at Kismet Properties to report the issues…someone came to sweep the cobwebs off the front door quickly but nothing else was taken care off. Really expected more and quite disappointed in the house :(

Beautiful Interior Home - outside pool area needs some work
Our stay at the property was nice, with easy access to the beach. The interior of the house was beautiful and very clean. Having your basic spices would have been nice for meal preparation. The pool itself was wonderful and very clean. However, the outside of the pool needs work. When we arrived, there were a ton of weeds all along the concrete and the umbrella stand. There were also a ton of weeds growing under the table and chairs. There were beautiful large pots on each side of the pool. Unfortunately, nothing but weeds were growing out of the pots. We notified the property manager of the weeds upon our arrival. They were responsive and had some come out 48 hours later to clean up all the weeds.
