Christmas Vacation

jennifer (blue springs mo)
Review submitted: January 1, 2012   Date of arrival: December 23, 2011

We had a wonderful time on our Christmas Vacation. The house was very nice and had everything we needed to cook with and more. The Kids had a great time enjoying the beach and the pool with the hot tub. Kathy was very nice and check in with us on our fist day to make sure everything was what we expected. She even got us a fan for the bedroom from her own house! That was very nice of her. We Had some really great food at Hogs Breath, there house beer was one of the best beers we have had. We did some great shopping at the outlet malls, got some good after Christmas sales. My Husband and I really enjoyed walking on the beach every morning watching the sunrise and sunset in the evening. We would recommend Kenny D's for their Happy Hour for Beer and Oysters.

Recommended for: families with teenagers, romantic getaway

Owners response: Thank you for the nice review! I am sure the reviews you submitted will help some of the guest that will be staying at this lovely home! Please come back to visit us again soon!

Great Family Vacation

Review submitted: December 7, 2011   Date of arrival: November 20, 2011

This was our 2nd stay at Villa Bella, why stay anywhere else when this cottage has it all. Great location to shopping, eating and the BEACH. The kids love the easy access to the beach and to the pool area. We enjoyed the privacy of our own cottage and the security of the gated community. Kathy is the best property manager I have ever dealt with, I feel as if I have known her forever, she makes sure everything is ready for you and your family's arrival. We will be back.

Owners response: What a wonderful review! Thank you so much! I can't wait to see you again next year Angie!

We LOVE Villa Bella. We have stayed in many homes in Destin over the past 8 years...even Captains Quarters here in Beach Retreat, two homes in Maravilla, one home in Avalon, two homes in Crystal Beach and a condo in Emerald Dunes. Villa Bella is our favorite and it is the most comfortable home we have experienced. The furnishings are beautiful, practical and suit our lifestyle well. Everything here is perfect so far. Thank you for taking time with us and our many questions.
