Spring Break 2024

We loved our stay at Barracuda- the locations is amazing - so close to the beach and to great shopping/dining. The house was big and had tons of places to hang out. I think the things that would improve the stay would be to add a few more things to the kitchen- a couple of good pots/pans. The non-stick enamel was coming off a lot of them and that is not great for cooking. Also cushions for the outdoor chairs would be amazing- they are super hard and the pool area is a nice place to hang out! Overall great stay- would love to return again.

Amazing Vacation!

ALWAYS SUMMER delivered! The home was spacious and had all the amenities you needed while on vacation! The pool was clean, the rooms had an abundance of storage, and you had all the pot and pans you needed to feel at home. The adults were able to enjoy morning coffee on their own bedroom balconies. Thank you ALWAYS SUMMER for allowing us to use your home to make family memories of our own! We will definitely be back! Jenna from Nashville 💕

The photos of house are very deceiving! The house needs a lot of work. Back fence falling off, front and back of outside need cleaning and painting, mold and mildew in upstairs bathrooms. Needs more in the way of ice machine and was shocked we had to buy our own propane for grill. Have stayed up and down Destins coast for years and was truly disappointed in this house.

If the weather would have been better our trip would have been much better.

The property was nice. It needed a little painting & TLC on the back lower deck near the outside laundry room. Laundry room could use some work as well. Washer and dryer were great.

This was an awesome family vacation!

I highly recommend this property for anyone who wants to enjoy an incredible family vacation. We had three generations under one roof, and it was phenomenal! This is the type of place you want to visit every year.
