The Splash House

Great service, great home, great location. Everything was wonderful.

Over-all a very nice experince and we felt fortunate to find this property due to our "last minute planning approach". The Splash House is an ideal location when you want to find yourself "right on the beach". It is a comfortable beach house and we could see that it was probably a "great place" 20 years ago. It requires external investment and renovation. Interior is adequate enough and really not bad for a rental. Everything worked and though not "luxury" there were no complaints by anyone in our party. We brought our 2 dogs and though they loved the experince, but we found it challenging finding a location for them to "do thier business". We would book this property again, but would work harder at negotiating better.

The Splash House Though the Splash House has some age on it (as do many of us) it has been well maintained and offers my family the opportunity to step out of its front door and be directly on the beach. As I awoke every morning, it offered breathtaking sunrises and after a fulfilling day it shared a stunning sunset. The unobstructed views offered hours of enjoyment for my family to enjoy a nice cup of hot tea, coco or coffee and simply watch the waves roll into the shore. My family would not be complete without including our pets. The Splash House allows small dogs which for us sealed the deal. A vacation without our beloved pet would simply not be as fulfilling. Our Jack Russell Terrier simply loved taking long walks on the beach. At her age (15) she still wanted to get out on the beach every time an opportunity presented itself. The location of the Splash house offers an opportunity to get away from the mainstream. You can walk for miles in either direction on the beach, or utilize the walking trail that runs along Hwy 30A. We spent hours simply walking the beach looking for sea shells and enjoying the spectacular views. It is also conveniently located close to several shopping centers, eateries and grocery stores thus reducing the time spent in the car. Lastly, the people at the rental agency (Newman Dailey) were all extremely helpful. Being our first visit to Destin, we depended on them to locate the perfect house for us. They directed us to the Splash House and upon arrival made us feel like we were at home. There was a minor problem with the refrigerator that was corrected the very next day. When I needed access to an office to finish up some business, they offered me a location to work in their offices. Without a doubt a very professional organization that is a joy to work with.

We had several problems when we first arrived, like no heat. Newman Dailey was very prompt with correcting the problems. Enjoyed the house and our stay though it was cold, windy, and rainy, but better than at home with snow and temp in the teens.

I was nervous when I first made the reservation because I only viewed on internet. It was great. The house was very clean, which is a biggie for me. It was also located close enough to town for those last minute runs to the grocery store, but far out enough to be private and quiet. It was a perfect Christmas and my family and I would be happy to stay there again.

The Splash House is the perfect affordable vacation getaway. House is located right on the beach, and offers fantastic view of the gulf. this was our fourth year of returning to this same vacation home, and we can't imagine staying anywhere else. the house is spotless and provides everything necessary for meal prep and relaxing recreation. can't imagine staying anywhere else.

We had a wonderful stay. The house is in a wonderful location. The house is not fancy, but comfortable. There are some maintenance problems with the house, things that could be fixed easily, and some that look harder to fix.The upper balcony looks broken on one end, but seems solid and safe. The kitchen is well stocked, and there are plenty of towels. We had one problem, with my hair dryer flipping the breaker box. We had to have help, because the box was behind a locked door. A very polite man came right over and worked to fix the problem. Over all we loved the place and we absolutly loved staying that close to the ocean. We will return and will stay at spash house again next year.

Our family had a great time @ the Splash House. The home was clean and the problems that we did have (refrigerator and hot water in bath on the fritz) were fixed in short order. The home is a bit of a drive away from Destin Proper (about 12 miles), but this didn't bother us as we wanted to be @ the beach anyway.

the place is pretty much as advertised. Right on the beach. The place is clean--no mold problem as placed in an earlier review. Although I think it got remodeled. Plenty of space. Cons---there are staples/tacks for the carpet that cut some peoples bare feet a couple of times. The refigerator had some issues at the end of the vacation-it got very warm and was functioning poorly--that may be related to the amount of opening/closing with ten people there. It is very hard to find the turn in at night---it needs a bigger sign. Overall I would stay there again.

it is ok house is be clean this i s good bao grill ej it is not 4 use dont tell you have grill bicoase is is not take away else is nice

We stayed at the Splash House over Thanksgiving this year and had a great time. There was plenty of room for our two kids, ourselves and two sets of grandparents. The view was wonderful, the beach was clean and our kids had plenty of room to play on the beach as we watched from the porches. The house was in good shape - rustic for sure but just fine. The bathroom fixtures have been replaced recetly and were in good working order. This was the first time we have done something like this and we had a great experience. We would do it again.

Had a great time.

We loved our vacation at the Splash House. Our kids would run right out the door and onto the beach and in the ocean. The only thing wrong was that we could not use the porch, the screens were all broken so the bugs were a problem. Other than that, the amenities and our vacation were wonderful!

We had a lovely week at the beach. You can't get closer than sand at your back door! The house was clean and well stocked with towels and cooking utensils. We had an easy walk to the convenience store when ever we wanted and another block gets you to some fun shopping. If the deck had been larger we would have loved to sit there in the evenings and all talk, but it is too small for a group. We rented chairs and umbrellas, since the house only had a couple of small ones to use. All in all a great week.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Splash House. You can't beat living on the beach for a week. We loved sitting on the top porch in the evenings, enjoying the sunsets, and listening to the sounds of the ocean. It's great not to have overly crowded beaches. They say "rustic" is what makes the Splash House special, and I agree. It's the perfect place for the family to stay and have a memorable trip. Yes, we saw dolphins and were swimming about 50-100 yards away from them one day. They are truly majestic creatures. Try it out and you will not regret it.
