Fall break vacay
Recent Guest, Bartlett , TN United States
Our happy place! Our 3rd year to stay. Unfortunately, the rental price for next year has almost doubled. We will miss you, Star of the Sea!
Great location, floorplan and beach access!
Recent Guest, Sparta, TN United States
This house was perfect for our family trip. They each had their own ensuite bedroom and my only grandson and his mom and dad were able to stay in the apartment over the garage to avoid the family noise during nap time. The inside of house was renovated very nicely. The outside needed a little tlc especially on the upper and lower deck. Some of the appliances were not working and we did find a couple of friendly cockroaches ... but overall we all agreed it was a nice place to stay. Thank you!
Manager's Response
We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at this beautiful home in an amazing location.We apologize for any inconvenience with the appliances and would have love to send brand new ones over had we known about them. We do routinely maintenance all of our houses for insects and repairs and appreciate your understanding, our property manager will follow up with your feedback. Thank you so much, we appreciate you!

Location location location, could not have a better location and facilities! Beyond Blue was seamless. Had to minor issues with a rusted door knob and an operator error with the golf chart with Beyond Blue responding immediately and resolving the issue.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The entrance is very welcoming. All the remodel work was done so beautifully. We loved all the bathroom designs. The floorplan worked perfect for our family and friends. We also love this location on Crystal beach. The walk to sushi and coffee is very close and so is shopping.
Manager's Response
We are so glad you enjoyed this home, we enjoyed working on the design to make it a special experience for guests. Crystal beach is a local staff favorite and so is Camilles Cafe. We hope you come visit us again soon. Thank you so much!

For 28 years, our girls group of high school friends (class of 1963) have vacationed together in Destin, same week every year. We have between 8 & 12 of us from all over the states gathering each year. We have stayed in many homes on Crystal Beach, Miramar Beach but we like this one best. We'll be back next year, already booked it!!!
Manager's Response
Wow this is wonderful to hear!!! Thank you so much! We are so glad you and your friends enjoyed this wonderful home on the Emerald Coast, it truly is a special place. See you next year!
Best Vacation Home we’ve ever stayed in!
Recent Guest, College Grove, TN United States
We had a fabulous stay! The views from almost every window - especially upstairs - were incredible! I was pleased to discover there are privacy shades on the windows in the master bathroom around the tub area (which were not visible in online pics). The pool was actually larger in person than we expected from the pictures online. Our entire family really enjoyed being able to use it when the ocean was too rough or we were ready for some down time. Much of the day, at least a portion of the pool is shaded & that was quite nice. The house is so beautiful, tastefully and thoughtfully designed & decorated. The linens and furnishings anre all very high quality and luxurious. The chairs & umbrella set up on the beach was so nice to have access to each day during our stay. The guys set them up each morning at 8 am & took them down each day between 4-5 pm. The chairs were all labeled that they were reserved for our house. We were pleasantly surprised to discover lots of beach/sand toys, floats, etc in the storage space under the deck - and made good use of them. We didn’t use the guest house space, but it is just as beautiful and well appointed as the main home. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed (and then some). The proximity of the home to some of our favorite Destin shopping and dining was really nice as well. We have already booked a second stay at this home for next season (this is literally the first place we’ve ever wanted to stay in a 2nd time in Destin). Highly recommend! *We found the outdoor hose & shower on the stairs from the deck to the beach to be in working order and completely satisfactory for our needs. Additionally, we found the pots & pans in the kitchen to be of nice quality, as were all of the kitchen utensils & appliances.

Thank you so much for your detailed review; it means so much to our hardworking team. When you are happy, we are happy! Thank you again and we hope to see you next season.

Star if the Sea was amazing
Sherrie R., Tomball, TX Unknown
This rental was fantastic. Everyone loved the house and the location. It was right on the beach. You could see the dolphins early morning come in so close they would swim around you. We could open our windows and hear the ocean at night (I loved this!). Whole Foods was .7 miles away, definitely within walking distance so we had healthy food choices.
The place was extremely clean and well maintained.
The pool temp was heated to 88 degrees ( we paid to have it heated).
The carriage house was very nice. Not as updated as the main house, however the king bed was very comfortable and everything was clean and nice (just not as modern). It’s totally separate from the house, it’s over the garage. So it’s very quiet and private.
Whenever we had a minor issue, it was resolved the same day.
I typically like to try different places to stay, however this place will be hard to beat!
Manager's Response
Thank you so much for letting us know about your experience. Star of the Sea is a one of a kind home in Destin for sure! Our team works very hard to ensure that this home is clean, comfortable and beautiful to behold! We look forward to your next stay. Enjoy your summer! - BBV

Great house with a great location
Recent Guest, Flowery Branch, GA US
Plenty of room for everyone and had everything we needed. We were there in January so didn't get to enjoy the beach and pool very much but would love to come back in the summer. Very convenient for dining and any other necessities. Boshamp's is a must on every trip. Definitely plan on a return trip.
Manager's Response
Thank you for your wonderful review, Dennis! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We love the entertaining space this home offers for large families with not one, not two but three living areas! We are also constantly looking for ways to improve our home, so don't be surprised to find new perks and features on your next visit. We hope to see you in the summertime so you can enjoy the beach as well! BBV
Thanksgiving 22
Recent Guest, Waller, TX US
It was awesome! The location, the amenities, cleanliness and support of the staff were all way above expectations. Only problem was the continued problems with internet connections in the carriage house, even after Jackie worked so hard. We didn't want to bother her again. Chair company did not deliver chairs till the second day and didn't deliver on the next to last day.
Manager's Response
Thank you for your review, Michelle! We're so glad we were able to work with you & your family. Spending Thanksgiving right on the gorgeous Gulf cannot be beat for perfect family memories. We hope to see you again soon! BBV

Amazing house
Susan S., Sunset, LA United States
We had 16 people in this house and it never felt crowded! Perfect place for a family vacation. We had one small issue and beyond blue handled it immediately. Great location, short walk from the private pool to the beach. I would suggest that if plan on cooking for a large group to bring your own larger pots which we did. Definitely a prime home and location.
Manager's Response
Thank you very much for the great review and feed back Susan! This is an amazing house and location and we are so very pleased you had a great family vacation. We hope to see you again soon! - BBV
Perfect for young and old
Recent Guest, Nicholasville, KY United States
We chose this property for its short walk to the beach, reasonably-sized pool, large covered patio and grill, and all the space our extended family needed. The online description was completely accurate. The house was cleaned and ready on our arrival, and management was responsive to requests we had for minor maintenance issues. What we loved: the ocean views from the kitchen and living room, the ice machine for filling our cooler, 2 refrigerators and dishwashers, comfortable king-sized mattresses, renovations that separate the bunk room from the master suite, safe neighborhood, 2 minute-walk from Camille’s for lattes. One suggestion is to add normal-sized coffee mugs to the kitchen supplies.
Manager's Response
Thank you for the great review Karen! This is a gorgeous house in a spectacular location on the beach and it is definitely a favorite for family vacations! We are so happy you loved the property and that you had a great vacation! Come back again! BBV
Great Thanksgiving House
Recent Guest, Leeds, AL United States
We had a wonderful family Thanksgiving trip at Star of the Sea. Although all of the renovations were not complete, the ones that were completed were beautiful and well appointed. We can't wait to see the rest of the renovations. The staff was extremely helpful with any issues we had, and the maintenance guy was johnny on the spot. We were disappointed he could not lite the fireplace in the master as the weather was cooler and called for heat in the house. We love a fire! The heated pool was a perfect size for the kids and was a welcome addition to coming up from a cool wind on the beach. Kitchen was well appointed and we found everythinng we needed for a successful Thanksgiving day.
Manager's Response
Good news, Thurmon - we have completed the updates! Please come back to visit us again soon so that you can see all of the wonderful work we have done since your last visit. The bunk room, stairwell, bathrooms and more have been updated. You will love it! We look forward to hosting you and your family again soon. - BBV
Wonderful 10 days!

The home and location can't be beat! Great views and only a few short steps to the ocean. Loved the chair service, the pool and the accommodations. Couldn't be better and we hope to return next year.

Ideal for family reunion gathering. 10 adults, 8 kids had an awesome time here. Spent most of the time on the beach or in the pool. Wish we could afford to do this more often!

Beautiful Home
Jeffrey B., Zionsville , IN United States
Beyond Blue was wonderful to work with. Answered questions quickly and everything was organized well. The home had recently been partially renovated. What was done was stunning and we are sure the final renovations will be spectacular also. Only real issues were the bunk bed room is accessed through the master bathroom/bedroom and the other upstairs bedroom had only a small bathroom that was not connected to the bedroom itself. Gorgeous views, beautiful beach with very helpful attendees and clean private pool. Also access to grocery was close too. It was a wonderful week and family memories were made! Thank you.
Manager's Response
Thank you for the great review Jeffrey! We love this stunning house too and the location and views are amazing! We are so very happy you had a wonderful vacation with your family and made some great memories! Come back and see us again! BBV
Almost Star of the Sea
Recent Guest, Abilene, TX United States
Location, beach access, and the home itself was great with just a few things but one issue was a real problem. One of the bedroom closets did not have a rod to hang clothes, the master bedroom door was missing it’s blind which eliminated privacy, but the biggest issue was that the bunk bed room has no separate access . The only access is via the master bedroom and through the bathroom. Essentiall what the owners did is convert the master bedroom closet. This needs to be spelled out to future clients. But otherwise was very happy with our stay.
Perfect Location
Jason W., Xenia, OH United States
The home was perfectly located. Being directly on the beach was perfect form our family. Most of the home has been renovated and is beautiful. There were some areas that were not the best workmanship but did not take away from the experience. Plentiful refrigerator space and plenty of ice was very helpful. Overall great experience.
Manager's Response
Thank you for the feedback Jason! We love this awesome, beautiful house on the beach and it is definitely perfect for any family! Come back and visit again! BBV
Beautiful ocean front home
Recent Guest, Oxnard, CA United States
The home is lovely, especially the areas that were remodeled. The rest needs modernizing. Slight flaw; the bunk room only has access through the master bedroom and bathroom. Great pool, outdoor couch, kitchen...
Manager's Response
Hello, and thank you for your review! You will be happy to know that we have completed the remodel! It took several phases to complete the work, but this home looks incredible! It was great before, but now it is spectacular! We felt the same way you do about the bunk room, so we gave it a private entrance. The bunk room and master bedroom are now not connected at all. The layout has been updated and is geared toward large families who need places to gather as well as privacy when needed. Come back and stay with us soon so you can enjoy this wonderful home again (in all of it's new glory!) - BBV
Annual "girlfriend beach therapy" for a group of high school friends from Indiana now living all over the US. We have rented many houses on the beach in Destin (over 25 years), but this is the best. Next year we will all be 80 and we will be back!!! God willing!!!
Manager's Response
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate your kind words. We look forward to welcoming you again next year and providing another exceptional experience.
