About the property

It Had To Be You, Wonderful You, It Had To Be You.

Like a slow dance with someone you love, It Had to be You will give you the warm and fuzzies with its inviting personality. The happy blue exterior with the quintessential southern front porch; the spacious backyard with a shaded porch, lush landscaping and a grill; the three floors of comfortable beds and furnishings, these are the things that make guests ask for a ‘second dance’.

Great for entertaining a large family, this Destin vacation rental has the conveniences of a modern kitchen, a full laundry room, first and third floor gathering rooms plus TVS in each bedroom. The Primary suite is extra spacious featuring a separate sitting area and a spa bathtub in the Primary bath. Other alluring traits include its stone tile floors, colorfully beachy artwork and its very close proximity to restaurants and shops.

It Had to be You is more than just a pretty face, as part of the Ocean View community, known for its pristine lawns and white picket fences, it will quench all your outdoor needs. It has access to the sun drenched pool right next door plus it’s only a half block from the glorious beaches of the Gulf Coast and the walking/biking path that runs along the beach.

We require a minimum length of stay during the summer and over holidays.
We do not rent to anyone under 25 or to students.

Guests receive a welcome kit with small dishwasher detergent, dish soap, sponge, a roll of paper towels, and laundry detergent. There will be an initial trash liner in each receptacle and a set of toilet paper and soaps for each bathroom provided. Guests will need to replenish supplies for longer stays.

The house was beautiful and in one of the cutest, most peaceful neighborhoods at Crystal Beach. Close to everything! The grill wouldn’t work for us, & the beds were a tad hard but overall it was an amazing home in the best part of Destin! We can’t wait till next time!

Newman-Dailey Response:

Thank you for choosing to stay in our beautiful home in the charming Crystal Beach neighborhood at It Had to be You. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed its peaceful ambiance and convenient proximity to everything in Destin. We appreciate your feedback regarding the grill and the mattress firmness. Unfortunately, as you mentioned, beds can be a bit tricky as personal preferences vary. Some guests prefer a firm mattress while others prefer soft.

Regarding the grill, we've taken note of the issue, and our maintenance team has been notified. We want to ensure that your next stay is even more enjoyable, and your feedback is invaluable in this regard. We can't wait to welcome you back for your next visit to Destin! Remember, as a returning guest when you book DIRECT with Newman-Dailey, you qualify for the Many Happy Returns Discount!

We liked our location of the house. The kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of linens.. I was very disappointed that the community pool was not heated and I was not able to heat it thru your office. I was told the carpet was going to be replaced since it was pretty dirty. All in all I would rate it a 3.5

Our rental experience once again after so many years was great, from their ordering a crib (set up in requested room) and high chair to having someone come and fix the chirping smoke alarm. The house has a near-perfect location in proximity to great places to eat and shop and within walking distance of so many things, including Camille’s for great coffee, food and entertainment. We love the sidewalks throughout the area. Mere minutes to the beach and tons of places to eat. Thanks again.

For a family of 10 with teenagers and small children, this was the perfect location with tons of room for everyone to have privacy and a spacious room for us to all come together. Very short walk to the beach came as an added plus for quick trips for lunch at our beautiful home away from home.

We loved the house. The property manager was great. The grill that was at the house was falling apart and they brought a brand new one the next morning. The walk to the beach was very short. Only issue and it's a small one is that the pool is smaller than it looks in the pictures but it was still a very nice and clean pool area.

We had a really good time here with our family. This was our first AirBnB experience so I was not sure what to expect. It worked well for us so that the grandparents could have the lower bedroom and we could take over the second floor. There was a maintenance issue but communication about it was prompt and professional. The location is a fabulously easy walk to the beach and has a really nice backyard to relax in.

We are frequent visitors to Destin and crystal beach area. First time staying at this property, and location was superb! Less than 100 steps to the water! And 50 steps to Camilles which is everything you are looking forward in a restaurant! We had a house full of 10 guests -Rooms were large and spacious! Property was clean, and kept no smells and everything needed worked! We did enjoy the rather unique photo findings through out the house if you like Tom Selleck this place is for you! We recommend this property!
