Great Location

The location and time of year was excellent! Not much traffic in Destin and subdivision was very quiet and peaceful. Next time I will find a home with a heated pool. Amenities were great especially the golf.
We love Soleil!

We come to Destin every year and even own a condominum there but this house is where we stay when we want easy beach access and funky living quarters. This year was out third time at Soleil and it didn't disappoint. The house is clean and comfortable and the private pool is a definite plus. When you see Soleil for the first time you just know you're going to have a great week. The only negative comment came from the kids who said the mattresses in the guest room were uncomfortable.
Very relaxing!!

This house was located in a very elite gated community. Waking up to a beautiful pool out back was amazing! The beach was a short walk away, and the beach was nice and not crowded. We would highly recommend this house.
Outstanding

The house was as advertised. The check-in and
checkout process was ultra smooth. The best vacation
home rental in Florida. I will highly recommend to
all my friends and family.
Average amenities and a poorly designed staircase

The home was in decent condition overall, but it could definitely use a regular pest control visit. The Florida cockroaches are huge enough to be caged and they belong outdoors, not in the pantries, cupboards, and bathroooms. After recovering from our fear of falling from the tin-foil staircase, my family was able to manage getting up and down with minimal scratches on our heels. Honestly, rubber bumpers would make a huge difference and add a feeling of security when using the flimsy stairs. The basic cable was a generous offer, but HBO would definitely make up for having only one DVD player in the great room. The bedrooms have outdated TVs and one even has a TV/VCR combo... Hello 1989. The best feature this home has to offer is the pool, which was very well maintained. It would have been nice to have an air pump for all those wonderful water toys to play with. Again, the property was an overall nice place to vacation, it just needs a little modernization.

Mixed feelings

The location is excellent for dining and shopping. The neighborhood is beautiful! Unfortunately the house view is of "Camping on the Beach" (RV park), but the beach is a very short walk away. The man in charge of the chairs was rude about us brining our own chairs and umbrella.
The housekeeping was disappointing. We found several roaches (deal and alive), dirty bathcloths, pet hair on the outside furniture, and sand in the pool. Several things were stained, too.
Overall we had a wonderful, relaxing time though, and the employees of Newman-Dailey are a pleasure!
