Excellent host, property, and location. Our beach stay every year! Property always clean and ready for our family. Can’t wait till we return next year.
This is the 4th year we have booked the home on Boardwalk in Sandestin. We love the space and area the home affords our family and the layout is perfect. We can house our parents, kids, and ourselves and all have space to watch tv separately. There is also plenty of space to host friends and other family staying at the resort with the open floor plan!
Booking with Eric was the easiest trip I have booked. We travel a lot and have stayed at many places but Eric made the whole process from booking to check out easy and smooth. He responds right away to any needs right away. 100% recommended him and we will be booking through him again!
The house was lovely and the area was perfect. There are two golf carts so our group could break up. There is everything you could want in Sandestin. Golf, Bay Towne, the beach and beach house, multiple pools. Great area with lots to do. Eric was an amazing host and everything from booking to check out was smooth and easy. We will
Definitely use Eric again!
