We had a wondeful family vacation at Coastal Castle. The home was beautiful, spacious, cozy, and exactly what it is portrayed to be. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space in the bedrooms and bathrooms, then convene for meals and family time in the kitchen and living room. The kitchen has all the dishes and cooking utensils you need. Just bring or pick up your own spices, oils, and meat thermometer. The private beach access was super convenient and a big perk. It was really nice to not have to mess with parking at the public beaches. We rented umbrellas, chairs and paddle boats right there on James Lee Beach. The views of the ocean from the balconies were gorgeous especially from the master suite. The color of the ocean and sand are the most amazing that I have seen thus far in my Florida travels. There is so much to do in Destin and surrounding areas, we barely scratched the surface. The worst part about our stay at Coastal Castle was having to leave!

Coastal Castle is a beautiful place to stay for a large family! There were 13 of us and it was spacious for us all. Five bedrooms & five baths was great! The laundry area on two floors was awesome! The kitchen has everything you need! Mini fridge areas, a grill on the back balcony! The heated Pool was great! The hot tub was nice.. could be hotter but it was nice! The community pool & hot tub is really nice too! Destiny by the Sea was a very nice neighborhood. Highly recommend this home & area in Destin. There were no major issues with the home. We had a wonderful stay.Parking was great. We had three large vehicles and plenty of room. We will definitely go back!
