Dining establishments you enjoyed – Pompano Joe’s
Fun things you experienced – Shopping at Destin Commons, Silver Sands, and the Pier in Panama City; movie at the RAVE theater in Destin.
How was the rental process using My Vacation Haven? – Very easy, everything went very smoothly; only issue was that finding the unit after we got off the elevator was a bit of a challenge – no signs directed us to the unit and we were not aware it was a unit that had an outside entry.
Would you come back and stay with us again? Of course, this was our 2nd stay using My Vacation Haven and we plan to use you again

Take your game to the next frontier with today’s Groupon to The Golf Garden of Destin in Miramar Beach. Choose between the following options:

The Golf Garden of Destin fosters putt-putt delight and club-flailing fun in a family-friendly atmosphere replete with a nine-hole executive golf course, expansive driving range, and 18-hole miniature golf course. Golfers can groom their putting stroke with a round at the putting course, where slick, faux-grass surfaces and subtle slopes coalesce to create breaks more difficult to read than a kindergartener’s dissertation. The outdoor driving range keeps metal clubs and dimpled orbs on a collision course well into the evening with over 30 hitting stalls outfitted with towering lights. Duffers looking for a more immersive golf challenge can take to the executive course, where seven par 3s beckon to players still seeking their first hole-in-one and two par 4s assure that drivers and 3-woods do not abscond in search of work at the nearest sword-forging convention.

The Golf Garden of Destin offers different rates for children, adults, and seniors, and sometimes offers special discounts online. This Groupon still represents the best deal available.

In a Nutshell
18-hole miniature-golf course, 30-stall driving range & 9-hole executive course foster club-flailing fun in family-friendly golf complex

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to provide feedback. Our stay was great and the location was perfect. We were with 7 other families and everyone stayed in the Tivoli area so we were all close. My experience renting and the ease of doing this was very pleasurable and not complicated. The instructions for arrival and departure were easy to understand. I did love the key pad too. It was easier then trying to keep up with a key and my boys were able to run down and grab something without using a key. I will definitely consider using y’all again when we come back down.

Thank you,

Hello.. We had a wonderful time at 4705 Westwinds!! We will definitely returned for another vacation!! We also went to Ripley’s n Wonderworks!! That was amazing and our children love it.

We have been coming to Destin, FL for 11 years. We’ve rented from individuals, real estate companies, other managing companies and found that My Vacation Haven is one of the best managed rentals we’ve experienced.  We had a couple maintenance problems and they were at the condo within the hour to fix it.

As far as the Destin and Sandestin area there is a lot to do.  We’re a retired couple and like to golf.  We’ve found that Indian Bayou and Windswept Dunes, and Golf Garden are the best buys for the money.

There are many restaurants that are good……..those along Scenic 98, also: Fat Clemenza, Ciao Bella, Ocean Club, and Mitchell’S Fish House, Dewey Destin, Harbor Docks to name a few.  We also enjoy restaurants along 30A and in the town of Seaside there are several good ones and all the way to Alys Beach there is George’s.

We really enjoyed our visit. The unit was very nice and had everything the six of us needed. Reasonably priced and very close (5 minute walk) to Baytowne Wharf. I have stayed at numerous places in Sandestin and if you don’t have to have the view of the beach, this was as good as any.

We enjoyed one evening at Rumrunners on Baytowne Wharf where the dueling pianos were quite entertaining. Outside the complex I always enjoy a good seafood dinner at Pompano Joe’s right on the beach. For breakfast, the Donut Hole is hard to beat. The remainder of the time we dined “in”, as the unit had everything we needed.

The entire process of checking in/out was very easy and painless, and everyone was very accomodating. I would definately use “My Vacation Haven” again.

Ourfavorite Dining in Destin is either Ocean Club (first choice), or  Marina Cafe. For home cooked meals we like the Donut Hole for lunch or supper.  Breakfast is always good there!Another Broken Egg is also a breakfast favorite. For Bar food, we like Busters, Crab Trap and Pompano Joe’s.  Kids always like Fudpuckers. The best Pizza, for a reasonable price is Bud and Alley’s in Seaside. The pizza in Baytown tastes like frozen from Walmart.  Fat Clemenza’s is good, but not as good as the above that we liked.

Kids love the Track and miniature golf (in the resort), although we found the golf pricey.  We are tennis players, but the fees to join and play in the resort are too much for us.  We would play every day, if we could fine something less expensive.  My husband loved the fishing on the resort. We very much enjoyed the Baytown experience.

Next visit we plan to rent a pontoon boat on the bay.

The rental process went very smooth, thank you.

It would be nice to see how others rate food and recreation.

Yes, we are coming back as often as possible!

Great room. Incredible view. Fabulous vacation. Still can’t believe the rates! {couldn’t resist :) }

To My Vacation Haven,

We are from the Mid-West, so fresh seafood was really a treat for us. Seafood restaurants we enjoyed were: Dewey Destins Seafood Restaurant, The Back Porch, Fisherman’s Wharf, Fudpuckers (for lunch) a fun place with good food, Mitchell’s Fish Market-for a special evening, Two other good restaurants were: Tuscany Italian Bistro, Cuvee Bistro.

We are older, so some of what we enjoyed may not be interesting to a younger group.

We loved walking the beautiful grounds of Sandestin, walking on the beach, enjoying the pool, the beautiful views from our balconies, exploring Sandestin resort and the village area, exploring Seaside & Rosemary Beach, the Harbor area in Destin, and checking out the different golf courses.

The rental process was easy.

We will come back.

Thanks,

Beachside II – unit 4349 is our favorite place to stay – the view is amazing.  We had a few things that needed fixing on our arrival.  Your staff  are all very helpful and took care of our problems. Overall, our stay was great.  Here’s a few of the eating places we visited and enjoyed…..Cuvee Beach…..loved the 1/2 price appetizers and drink specials.  We also visited the barbecue place right across from the resort (Lillies Q) and used the coupon you sent for a buy one, get one free sandwich.  We all agreed, the barbecue was great and we will go back. We are planning a return to Destin in June and will contact you about renting this unit again.

Thanks to all your helpful, friendly staff.

We truly enjoyed staying in this unit. It met our needs perfectly and was a beautiful place to stay, inside and out. Thanks for providing a wonderful place to stay and we hope to return during our Spring Break. Sincerely,

We had a great vacation!!  This is the 2nd time we have used My Vacation Haven and stayed at Westwinds.  We are in love with Westwinds and San Destin.  We have 2 young boys who loved the ocean and the set up of the pool.  The pool was even warm enough to swim in in October.  They love riding the trolly to the Village to go eat have have ice cream.  The playground at the village is wonderful!  Both times we stayed we called My Vacation Haven for a small maintenance request and they were there within the hour.  The reservation process was also very simple.  We will definately use them again.

Frogs Leap & SunQuest Wine Dinner

We had a wonderful trip and really loved the separate rooms.  Our teens loved their own “apartment”/ suite.  We will definitely stay here again, as the walk to the beach was minimal and the suite was fairly new.

We had a great time in Sandestin…we loved most everything (except the jellyfish).  We were there during the off season so it was pretty quiet.  We saw deer off of our balcony each morning and the condo and grounds were beautiful.  We really enjoyed the restaurants and shops in Harbor Village.  We had great food at Hammerheads, but extremely slow service.  The gentleman working at the Aloha Surf Company was very nice and helpful.  Loved the guard cat at the door.  We really had a great time.  Easy acces to the beach, which was beautiful. Thanks

Hello,

We have been to Destin several times. This year was our first time renting through My Vacation Haven and we were very pleased with the rental process.  What we enjoy most when we come are our morning walks on the beach.  We also enjoy trips to Seaside and all of the Destin shopping.  This year we also spent an evening at Harbor Walk. We always spend an evening at the Crab Trap and the night before we leave we order Jordano’s pizza.  We were very pleased with our unit.  Thank you for an enjoyable rental experience.  We will certainly return.

Our stay was very pleasant – the facilities were great and Westwinds as a whole was wonderful.   We liked being able to walk to the beach in just a few minutes and know that it was a safe area and others on the beach were from condos too. We would like to have had access to a vending machine so we could get a Coke instead of going back to our room.   It was clean and just beautiful.

We ate at Another Broken Egg (loved it), P. F. F Chang’s (loved it), Cheeseburger Paradise (loved it), Bubba Gump’s Shrimp(loved it), Donut Hole (loved it), had pizza from the place in the outlet mall (loved it), and also ate at Cantina Laredo (food was great but too spicey for our Tex-Mex taste buds).   And we got hot Krispy Kreme donuts on our way out of town Monday morning.

We will definitely stay with you again if we come to the Destin area!

We had a great time!  There were no problems with the condo, everything was great.  We would go to shrimpers (fresh seafood) daily and get fresh fish and scallops and then cook them ourself for dinner in the condo, it was great and so much better than eating out all the time.  It would be nice if there were a table on the deck, perhaps a folding one, so we could eat meals outside.  We would love to use you again in the future!

Thank you,

We are so very proud of you!  Congratulations!

Good Evening! Thanks for your response to the bed situation and the slow drainage. I thought you would like to know this information so future guest would not have the same complaint. Even though I did have a couple of small complaints, overall we loved the condo and would look forward to staying there again. We appreciate how everything has been handled before and after our stay.

Sincerely,

We had the best vacation ever there last week.  My sister got married aboard the Solaris on a clear, beautiful day.  Most of my family stayed in Sandestin (including two different condos in Westwind).  The other condo was much fancier and up to date, but 4821 had the best views!  I would definitely come back again. I’m actually a native of the area, born and raised in Ft. Walton Beach.  I have been living away from my family and the area I love the most in this world.  Coming back and having the experience of staying in the Sandestin resort gave me a new perspective.  I will always think of that as Paradise. Thank you for being so helpful to me.  I initially reserved a larger unit for just the weekend but ended up needing only one bedroom as my children and grandchild could not come. Martha assisted me and got me into the smaller unit so we could stay for the entire week with very little change in rental cost.  This is service I would not have received if I had booked through VRBO or similar sites.  I have already recommended MVH to several people.

I hope to be back soon!

One of the coolest things we experienced was seeing the dolphins on Sunday
- they were leaping high out of the water playing.

We saw three gorgeous sunsets and the water was crystal clear. My daughter found an intact sand dollar in the water – first time that has happened. My Vacation Haven emailed our information very quickly with all the information we needed. It was one of the smoothest processes we have had. I also really appreciated the email you sent requesting confirmation that we had received the information we needed. You definitely have it fine-tuned to a well-oiled machine! We just printed the information out and had everything at our fingertips before we left! It was a very smooth process. We will certainly recommend My Vacation Haven to anyone going to Destin! Westwinds 4822 is an awesome unit and we will recommend it! We also love your website – being able to go online and look at the condos and read about them is a really nice feature. Your pictures are great. We definitely hope to come down again. On another note, if we are every blessed enough to have a unit your company would be our choice! Have a blessed day and thanks for making our stay an easy process!

To Whom:

My wife and I had a great time staying at Westwinds.  The condo was as expected, but the vistas/views of the beach and the resort/bay area were phenominal.  The west end of this building is definitely the preferred end.  Also, being on the 14th floor gives you enough height to see a long way…..great stuff.

Regarding the rental process, the actual process is very easy and efficient.I did find the rental process very smooth, the staff very professional, and clearly you have people with great marketing and business skills running the company. I would rent again in the future

To Whom It May Concern:

I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at Beachside II 4351. The condo is absolutely beautiful and we had a gorgeous view of the beach from both balconies. We will definitely consider booking reservations for this condo again in the future.

Thanks for everything,

Thank you for your help, your customer service is the reason we will book thru My Vacation Haven next year when we head back to Destin!

Thank you My vacation haven….I received the entrance code –and good to go…You all rock!
