Simply Paradise, Emerald Shores, Destin Area, Florida Vacation Rental by Owner

With a heavy heart, due to an unexpected financial burden we were hit with, we had to contact Linda to cancel our planned vacation for this year. We were so excited to get to stay at Simply Paradise as we had discussed all of the cleaning aspects with Linda and felt confident that this was a great choice coming out of the COVID-19 period. We could not have asked for a more gracious, compassionate handling of this situation. Linda is very thorough and we are already looking at dates in the Fall when we can reschedule our Destin getaway! (Our reservation was for 6/27-7/4, but the system will not let me enter that so I am entering today's date so I can post)

This Covid 19 all hit us unexpectedly and it has been a trying year for all of us. We traveled to Destin ourselves for 3 weeks in May to get our homes sanitized and meet with our husband and wife cleaning staff to assure our properties were ready for the "new normal". We installed UVC lights in all our A/C unity air handlers to purify the air in our homes. Added hand sanitizer when you enter the home and antibacterial wipes to help keep our homes clean before and during our guests stay! We clean all quilts weekly and removed all decor pillows as was a guideline that the CDC recommended. In providing a clean environment for our guests we had a totally booked summer during this pandemic. Guests have enjoyed some much needed vacation and family time with the comfort of knowing our home was clean and ready for check in. WE look forward to your new rebooked stay and feel our guests can enjoy rest and relaxation! WE thank and appreciate ALL our guests!

We stayed at Simply Paradise in Destin FL with our whole family of 10 (7 adults, 26-66 years old, and 3 grand children, 4-9 years old). It was clearly one of the most enjoyable family vacations ever (and we have taken quite a few). The house was perfect, cool, spacious, every amenity imaginable, most modern appliances, technology, absolutely perfect. Incredible LARGE back yard where the kids played soccer every night and we had great cook outs on the available grills. Plus quick and easy access to the ocean, right in the middle of all restaurants and entertainment. Perfect parking for 3 cars. Great front porch, 3 individual bedrooms with private bathrooms, TV's in every room.  We could not have asked for a better, more affordable, perfect family vacation rental home. We plan to come back. It was truly perfect and Linda, who owns it, Could Not have been any nicer or accommodating.

We are so pleased that you enjoyed all the details of our home! I like to hear the kids enjoyed the huge grass yard to play soccer and having family cookouts:) We look forward to your return!

Just wanted to tell you how wonderful your house is and it worked perfect for the 6 of us. The boys loved the backyard. The 4 year old loved all the beach toys. The kitchen had everything we needed. Loved the distance from the house to the beach. We saw and did a lot in the week. We would recommend the Buccaneer Pirate Cruise. So much fun. Thank you for all your help with my questions. We are all having beach with drawl today. Can't wait till we can come again and stay at your home.

My Response We are happy to hear your first trip to Destin was so eventful and fun! The yard is a true bonus that our home offers and glad your family enjoyed it. We look forward to your return as we appreciate all our guests and hope we can accommodate your vacation needs for years to come:) Edit your Response

This year was the second year in a row we stayed here. Wish we could stay forever!!!! It is so easy to work through the rental application but more importantly the house is great. Bring your food and everything is there. House is in a condition where you immediately feel comfortable. Linda defines "customer service". If there is a concern or problem she addresses it. The destin beach is a short walk and they are so beautiful. The kids love the yard and all the beach supplies. We hope we can get back.
