Our family had originally planned to go to the Charleston, SC area for our vacation but with hurricane Florence those plans changed. We found Destin and more particularly “Lonni’s Gem” the day before we checked in. The reservation process was fantastic and more importantly the house was perfect. Plenty of space for all 9 of us and even the kids had their own space and rooms as well. House was clean and definitley updated. Had an issue with the AC on our 2nd to last night there and the Crystal Waters folks were right on top of it even after hours. We would definitely recommend this house and would love to stay again.

Manager's Response

Hello Beckstrand Family, We were happy to be help your family find a vacation home a little farther south than you were planning to go. But due to the hurricane, your options were limited. We are so happy that we were able to meet your family and introduce you to the Destin area. Hope you'll come back year after year!

Great Home!!!

A very nice home in a great location! Loved being close to the beach and the wonderful shopping especially in December. I only have two suggestions. First, there needs to be some dish towels in the kitchen and some potholders. That's all we were missing. :)

We couldn't have asked for a better place! It was able to handle our whole group and never felt crowded! The wagon, beach chairs, and umbrella were a pleasant surprise also! We ended up donating our boggie-boards too. They only issue we had was our trash wasn't emptied when they told us it would be. We had 11 people for 7 days = an overflowing dumpster. Bring extra pillows or blankets if you need that sofa sleeper (couldn't find any in the closets) but leave all the kitchen supplies at home! The place is stocked like your own!! We loved the beach pavilion and the tram was helpful. I would recommend this property to anyone with a big group, it was perfect!

So glad you enjoyed your stay at Lonni's Gem! It is a super nice home with newer furniture and recent updates. The private beach cabana is close the pools even closer! There should be pillows and blankets in the closets. Sometimes people move them all over the house. Will make sure they are there! The trash is scheduled to be picked up 3 times during the week in the Summer. Not sure what happened with that but we do recommend bringing the big 30 gallon trash bags just in case the 2 cans are not enough.
