Why Staying in a Destin Home Was the Best Choice for Our Family Vacation

Written by Joy Green

"When we started planning our Destin trip, we went back and forth on whether to book a condo or try a home. We’d stayed in condos before, and while they were fine, I craved something that felt more private and spacious this time. We ended up booking a cozy beach house through Newman-Dailey Resort Properties, and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made."

"From the moment we walked through the door, it felt like our home. The kids raced to pick their bedrooms, while I set my coffee down on the kitchen counter and took in the open living space. I loved that we had a big, comfy area to gather in—perfect for game nights and family meals—without worrying about thin walls or neighbors right next door. We had plenty of room to spread out, space for the kids to play, and a kitchen where we could cook up family breakfasts before heading to the beach. Having our own outdoor space was such a treat too. We could come back from the beach, rinse sandy toes, and relax outside without the hassle of elevators or long walks through parking garages (the usual condo struggle!). Another perk is having your own private pool which won lots of bonus points with the kids!"
