We loved staying at this house! There was plenty of space for everyone to move around & have their own space. The house had everything we needed. The owners were excellent in getting us all the info we needed before our arrival! We love the location & neighborhood. There is a shuttle to take you to the beach entrance. We love having the private beach access! This was a great experience, & we will be back!

The house is in a gated community. The picture made it seem like we were close to the beach, but it is probably a 5 min walk and you have to pay for wristbands to use their private beach -- and then you have to pay daily for chairs and umbrellas unless you want to sit in the very back of the beach with your own chairs, etc - maybe this is the way it works in every community in this area, but it was not what we expected. Homes in community are close together and the only place to sit outside is on the porches on second and third floor facing the culdesac and pool across the street. The mattresses and the kitchen were adequate. For the number of beds - 5, the common spaces are fairly small - eating table seats six and living room is comfortable for 6 people. There were only 4 of us in the house, so it was fine, just be prepared if you have a bigger group. A/C, tvs, and maintenance was good - furniture and home showed normal wear and tear.

You can't beat the location. We had several young children in our group and the convenience of having a house close by the beach worked great for us.Additionally, you don't have to bother with finding parking with the beach within an easy walk. The only improvement I would recommend is that some new nonstick skillets be added to replace the existing ones that are in bad shape.

Location to the pool and beach was great. House was clean and had plenty of room for our family. Only complaint was that we were not told the gas grill was not in working order. There was a charcoal grill available but wish we had known before arrival. Overall it was a great vacation. This is one of our favorite neighborhoods to stay in. Have stayed in 3 different houses in Emerald Shores.

House was so much better than expected. Large and spacious rooms and bathrooms. We were at max capacity and fit pretty comfortably. Cart with beach wheels was already on standby to go to the beach and held all of our things comfortably. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook full meals for all 12 people. Close to beach and super close to pool. All stores you could ever need were close by, under 5 miles away. Balconies were nice. Didn't realize there wasn't much of a lawn though. Only suggestion is maybe move a dresser in master to the third floor loft (there wasn't any storage) and black out curtains to help with the morning sun and warmth of the second floor. Also don't forget that list of things they tell you to get. Paper goods, something to clean counters ect, they will not be provided. Master had a fan, iron, hangers in the closet. That was a nice surprise. Overall we highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time as a group of 9. The house was neat and clean. Everything was as advertised. We we received the codes with ease and loved being close to the pool. Furniture was comfortable and clean. I do wish we would have rented a golf cart, with children it was a little bit of a walk. Enjoyed the private beach entrance with bathrooms and a place to get a drink. I would have liked to have curtains in the bedrooms since the sun shines in very early. Also, the fans need to be tightened as they are loud when trying to sleep. Overall a very pleasant trip.

It was great!!! It looked exactly like the pictures, it was clean on arrival. The private beach access was great... it was a walkable distance or you can get a ride. The only thing I wish I could have change and would have been the road work and traffic but just plan for it when going into town. We didn’t have any problems during our stay

Hello James Family, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your stay at Lonni's Gem. I know this was a special trip for your family, since so many relatives were able to get together!

My family and I spent our vacation in Destin just days following Hurricane Michael. Amazingly enough, there was no damage and actually no indication that a hurricane had passed through the area. We were very pleased with Lonnie's Gem and the neighborhood as well; it was a home that had every amenity that you could possibly need to make your vacation enjoyable and memorable. We highly recommend this "gem" to other large family vacationers.

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!

The home was just as pictured online. Plenty of room and VERY clean and well maintained. Kitchen and bathrooms large and beautifully updated along with kitchen. We had a absolutely wonderful time. Easy walk to the beach and inside bathrooms right on beach. I would recommend this home to anyone...you'll love it.

So glad you enjoyed your stay at Lonni's Gem! It is a spacious and well kept home with nice upgrades so close to the beach! Easy walk to the private beach cabana right on the beach with restrooms, picnic tables, showers, wagon storage, and even a short order cafe/bar during peak times!

It was lovely and we had a fabulous time. The dresser in the second bedroom needs repair or replacing as some of the drawers do not open.
Manager's Response
So glad you had a nice stay in Destin. Lonni's Gem is a great house in Emerald Shores. We'll check the drawers. Thanks.

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!
Manager's Response
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.

It was great! The house was nice and the beach and restaurants and shops were so close which made everything very easy for us since we have never been to Florida!
We loved our stay!
My only negatives, were that the dishes were very dirty. We picked up multiple dishes that still have food on them.
