The house was nice and large. It could have been cleaned a bit better prior to our arrival, but overall it was a great rental for our vacation. The company was very easy to work with and communicated easily!

Accommodating

We really liked this property. It has 5 bedrooms with sleeping arrangements that accommodated all 12 of us with age ranges from 13-74 boys and girls. The beds were comfortable. There is only one bedroom on the first floor which we gave to the older couple in our group. However, the bed was very high. They had to get a stool to get in especially with their age and physical issues. We would suggest putting a patio set in the back. We had to move the front chairs to sit in the shady back area while grilling. No furniture at all in the back. The AC worked awesome in this extreme heat. Surprisingly, the 2nd floor stayed very cool. We were not too pleased with the “private” beach. You are almost forced to book rentals to sit close to the water. You can’t set up to the left or right as that is also “private.” We like to use our own chairs and umbrellas. I just wish there weren’t so many rentals set up. We took advantage of the beach gear credit through VayK Gear. We rented two bikes and corn hole. We didn’t use all of our available credit and still had to pay the delivery fee. It was only $16 out of pocket for the delivery and taxes and the teens enjoyed it so it was worth it. All in all, the place is great and we have rented houses in Emerald Shores for over 30 years and plan to continue. We would rent this property again if needed.

Nice house and safe neighborhood

We enjoyed our stay and liked the beach equipment deal. The worse part was the "private beach" where we couldn't even see the water. There were so many expensive beach rentals set up in front that we were stuck at the back. We only went once, then started driving to better beach areas. I also had an issue with reaching the number listed to report issues. Overall, we enjoyed our stay there.

Nice place

The house was a perfect size. The driveway is difficult to get in and out from (we have large vehicles). It was nice to see a gorilla cart was provided to haul our stuff to the beach...and they have a golf cart shuttle service. That was nice because it is a trek to the beach access. There were underwears left in the dryer. The kitchen sink came undone from the counter. We reached out to the after hours number..only could leave a voicemail, then someone sent me text saying no one could come out until the next day. The next morning i reached out to that number...no response..called the other number provided during check in...no answer. I then called the 800# online and had to try each option to finally get someone on the line. She was sweet and immediately got someone to call me. It was fixed a few hours later... to then get a text from the person that texted me the night before to say I think its done. Other than that the place was great and clean. Also, there are no pot holders to take things out of the oven. We will rent again.

This was a wonderful house for our extended family of 8. It is just across the street from the heated pool and about a 10 minute walk to the beach. It had great space for meals and spending time together. Great place!

Spacious and clean

Loved the location and the house. I did read that the dryer didn't real work but we figured out how to get our clothes dry! You have to put about 10 pieces of clothes at one time and only put it on 30min(high heat) and repeat that every 15 min. Because once it gets past the 20 minute mark it stops drying. We didn't have any complaints about anything except maybe that most of the outlets were a bit loose and the water in one of the upstairs bathrooms didn't fill up very fast.other than that it was wonderful!

Listen to the reviews

We were hesitant about renting this place due to the negative reviews, but we gave it a shot. We had to buy more toilet paper, and the room with the bunk beds only had 1 outlet to work. We had to fix the garbage disposal because the sink wouldn't drain, the far shower upstairs wouldn't drain, and the dryer wouldn't dry unless on "time dry". instructions were left that you couldn't put the thermostat lower than 70. Then the instructions on the counter said we had to pay an additional $30 to use the pool and get an armband. That should be included when you spending so much money. We didn't pay it because we didn't see anyone with one on. Overall the place is big enough if you have a large group. The actual bed situation: king downstairs and bathroom, king upstairs, 2 rooms with queens/full, and 1 room with 2 sets of bunkbeds. 2 bathrooms, the shower and toilets are separate. It's not a bad walk to beach access, but it is a walk. They provided a cart for beach toys and stuff. However, the beach access is not accessible for someone in a wheelchair. No ramo, just stairs. The unit is basically right across from the pool.

Nice Property

Our stay at 22 Ruby Cove was good. The community the property is located in is very central to everything in Destin. The community pool, beach house, and golf cart tram 9-5 during the day was a bonus. The house was as shown and clean. I didn’t realize the bunk beds were both in one room but this was fine for our group. Cons gate code didn’t work was remedied by a text and Dryer needs replaced doesn’t get hot at all you are basically air drying everything. Best beach Getaways is very hard to contact once you book through Vrbo. They do not reply to emails or vrbo app. Property was great communication was non existent besides check in email and text.

Family vacation 2022

The property was everything the listing said it would be. We really enjoyed our stay after we were able to get into this gated community. The codes we were sent to open the main gate didn't work and when I messaged the company I didn't get a reply. Someone that works for the community driving a golf cart gave us the codes needed. After that hiccup everything was wonderful. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Neighborhood - House could use some work.

We really enjoyed our stay at 22 Ruby Cove, however there were a few things that really needed some attention to make our experience the best it could be. Oven badly smoking - we were not able to use it. Propane tank empty Grill very dirty Several light bulbs out Spotty internet Floor very dirty Vent fan in upstairs bath not working Electrical outlets are all very loose or didn’t work. Kitchen not well equipped for cooking - baking pans/pots and pans/lids Air Conditioning when turned down - warm downstairs but freezing upstairs. We loved the location and the convenience of the pool. There was ample space and the split bathroom/showers made the stay very convenient. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but would be hesitant to stay here again if these issues are not resolved.

This house needs much work. Many light bulbs burnt out. It was not clean. Closet door laying on the closet floor. No trash bags provided. Not nearly enough toilet tissue. Had to go to the store on day 2 for trash bags and toilet tissue. Carpet needs replaced We have rented it n this neighborhood before and always have been pleased. All other properties were beautiful. It is a great location. Just very disappointed in the house.
