The Splash House

Gulf Front 3-Bedroom 4.0-Bathroom Sleeps 10 (SPLAS)

It is easy to see why they call it Splash House, because if you were any closer to the water you’d be wet! Reminiscent of Old Florida, this two-story beachfront bungalow has screened porches and a beach-level deck surrounded by natural vegetation that will allow the sea oats to tickle your nose.

Your private beach access has a sitting and sunning area, all leading to your semi-private beach. The long, galley kitchen has an equally-long eat-up bar, and the master bedroom has its own screened porch. The Splash House gives new meaning to a day at the beach!

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.

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.

Owner had done recent upgrades, Staircase has been rebuilt and enclosed. New carpet on the first floor and staircase. Fresh paint where needed. This home is a great place to relax on the beach or enjoy a great family meal in the spacious kitchen all while enjoying the spectacular Gulf views. Families have been making memories here for many years.

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.

I visited a friend staying in this house and it REEKS of MOLD. ?To the point where I had to leave. ?It is also very dirty grill was filthy as was the entire screened porch. ?Food particles caked around the cutting board in the kitchen. ?You may not post this but you need to know about the MOLD problem. ?It is unreal.

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 cant 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. Its great not to have overly crowded beaches. They say rustic is what makes the Splash House special and I agree. Its 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.

We have stayed at several properties managed by Newman-Dailey and this will not be one to which we will return. ?Although the balconies are screened the whole area looked undesirable to sit and relax. ?There was mildew and dead bugs. ?It looked as if it had not been cleaned. ?The bedrooms were comfortable but two of the bathrooms had problems flushing. ?The kitchen is dated. ???The downstairs sitting area is quite small. ??Since the thermostat for the unit was downstairs the only way to cool off the upstairs was to physically close all the vents downstairs. ?The fact that it was on the beach was the only plus; however for the price I would not rent again. ?Newman-Dailey has several other properties that we have rented that were well worth price.

Still your true rustic coastal house but has had many upgrades. ?The house has just been sided new spreads put on all beds a thorough duct cleaning and few other upgrades have been done. ?This is the perfect home for a comfortable casual at home feeling with the best backyard ever. ?This house is in the perfect location for beautiful morning sunrises and gorgeous evening sunsets. ?If you are all about the beach then this is the perfect home for you.

The house itself is wonderfull.However many of the amenities at the house did not work. ?We had problems with the televisions the coffe maker and some of the outlets. ?I would recommend the house to anyone who wants a secluded beach and a beautiful view.

My family and I stayed in this lovely house the week of June 3-10th 2006. We had the most wonderful time. This house is charming and cozy (we felt right at home.) For future vacation planners if you want to be close to the beach this is the place to stay as an added bonus it was great to watch the dolphins play each morning. I highly recommend this property!!

This unit has a beautiful view and great location but that is the end of its charm. ?I was very disappointed in the quality of the unit itself. ?It had an odd smell to start things off; ?I had to go out immediately and purchase air fresheners to overcome the odor. ?The refrigerator was malfunctioning and taped together on the inside with moving tape. ?The bathrooms were moldy rusted and overall disgusting. ??My kids nicknamed it the dump. ?Overpriced and low quality.
