This house was perfect. The kitchen was well equipped for us to cook, the location near the pool is perfect! The kids had a ton of fun playing on the private beach and in the cul da sac. The location on scenic 98 was perfect! The restaurants near the neighborhood were very tasty. Definitely makes us want to return in the future.

Family Friends Beach Vaca

Can't say enough about our stay at Lazy Marlin.  After a failed first attempt with an airbnb, this experience was great!!  The property was lovely and the Emerald Shore community provided a wonderful experience.  The host was amazing to work with and the amenities with the property were very welcoming.  Would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a great place to stay.

Great Stay at Lazy Marlin

Run! Don't walk, to this vacation home! Beautiful home, beautiful property,  beautiful beaches and wonderful owners! Very responsive to any messages and emails. 

We had originally booked the vacation through AirBnb, and after some issues with AirBnb, we decided to cancel and book directly through Emerald Coast Vacation. Mandy was the best host, and made booking direct through them easy and painless. I will recommend them to everybody who mentions going to Destin for vacation. ❤️

Family Vaca / Graduation 

We had a great stay! The house is nice, the kitchen was well equipped and most beds very comfortable. 

The heated pool was great and the private beach has gorgeous white sand and teal water. 

Good location near stores, restaurants, etc. and close to fun kid-friendly attractions.
