Goldfinch

Our family of 8 had a wonderful stay at the Goldfinch property. Great location and access to golf carts and bikes a huge benefit. Loved the pool in the neighborhood which we used several times as the pool at the house had been heated by mistake and took several days to cool down. The temps were in the 90’s so a heated pool was not appealing!! Rooms were large and lots of beds for everyone. Three full baths were beneficial along with the first floor powder room. Also laundry room great to have. Kitchen is spacious and has good appliances. Furniture in the great room and around the wonderful, large table need to be replaced. They are very worn down. The carpeting is also in need of being replaced. Second floor gets warm, but box fans and ceiling fans are helpful. We had very few issues, but when we did, Glass Casa folks were quick to reply and very helpful. The folks they sent out were attentive and friendly. Great experience!

House was spotless. We had issue with the pool. Called and it was taken care of quickly. Could have used more dish soap/pods. Maybe 1 extra roll of toilet paper for bathrooms. Store close by.
Will definitely go again.

I stayed with my daughter and her family at the Goldfinch over spring break. It is a beautiful home and very roomy. It was pretty chilly while we were there so we had the pool heated which was perfect. The kids were able to swim every day. The house is well stocked with anything you could possibly need and the location was great. We were able to walk to some of the restaurants and we use the golf carts provided to drive to others and to the beach each day. The goldfinch is located in a gated neighborhood which is very safe For the kids to ride their bikes. We are planning another stay for next summer!

Goldfinch is a beautiful home located in a quite and gated community. The two golf carts and the heated pool were wonderful to have. Anytime we had an issue such as the television not working, someone was at the house within minutes. Overall both families on our trip had a wonderful time and we enjoyed our stay at Goldfinch.

Ryan K from Ohio - Posted: 10/23/2021

It was fantastic being able to let the kids play in the pool while sitting just inside enjoying a movie or ballgame. Typically to get the kids to the water it’s a whole ordeal of packing things up, finding a spot, being out there all day. We were truly able to relax. We loved the locations and the golf carts. We would definitely return.

We enjoyed our first trip to Destin so much. We loved the Goldfinch property and the location. The pool was a huge hit with everyone. We had 11 people and had plenty of room. It was so nice to have a dining room table where we could all sit together at during meal time. It was very handy to have the golf carts available to explore. One of the golf carts does need new batteries as it wouldn’t hold a charge very long. We did wish there was a little more seating in the living room. Nonetheless, these things wouldn’t keep us from booking this property again. We really enjoyed Bad *** coffee company, Pedro’s, Margararitaville, The Donut Hole and the Crab Trap. We had a ton of fun going to Crab island using a double decker pontoon boat we rented from the Double the Fun rentals. Made wonderful memories that will last a lifetime!

We had an amazing time!!! Destin palms were excellent to deal with. I would highly recommend them and villa Marseilles. Had a couple very minor maintenance issues, tv and extension cord not working maintenance men were out to fix both issues in less than 20 mins. They were awesome I would highly recommend both house and Destin palms. I will be going back.

We had a wonderful week spending our family vacation at the house. It was big enough to hold our family of 9 very comfortably. We are excited to come back and visit again. The 2 golf carts made our beach trips and restaurant rides very convenient!!

It was a great experience at this beautiful vacation home! Tim and Mona were exceptional before our arrival, during our stay and after we left. Mona even remembered me a few days after we left and immediately addressed me by my name! The home was very close to the beach, the golf carts were very useful and on rainy days, the kids were able to swim and we were pleased staying in (stayed 7 days). We definitely plan to return and continue to use Destin Palms! Thank you!

Enjoyed our week stay at Villa Marseille. We had seven people and the house accommodated everyone very well. The house was clean and spacious. We had only one issue and it was the internet. The problem was addressed very quickly by the staff. Special thanks to Jamie, Lindsey and the maintenance man for all they do. The golf carts were really a plus. They made it very easy to get to the beach. We will return!!!

Jerry S from Plainfield - Posted: 11/26/2018

Villa Marseille was perfect for our needs. Dad, Mom, 3 daughters and two sets of grandparents. Plenty of room with excellent sleeping accommodations. The location was great. Just inside the Hwy 98 gate to Destiny East. The pool was small, but adequate and the two golf carts were great for getting around locally. We come to Destin every fall, but I will probably not come back this time of year again because of the crowds. Insane.

This a very nice vacation property in a wonderful location. The neighborhood is beautiful and very close to the beach with the golf carts adding a fun touch to the rental property. I think it needs to be noted that the fireplace doesn't work and has been permanently disabled (which is why I gave it 4 stars.) We would have enjoyed the fireplace on the cool January nights.

We arrived for a late summer vacation and was not disappointed. There were 11 of us staying and this home had plenty of room, and was very conveniently located to the beach which was a short ride on the golf cart away. The maintenance staff was very accommodating in attending to the only issue we had which was an old worn out rusty grill When notified they immediately replaced the grates that evening and then delivered a brand new grill the following day. Highly recommend this home and Destin Palms...

Overall we enjoyed our stay at Villa Marseille. We throughly enjoyed the pool and two golf carts. My only complaint would be the mildew stains on the tile and shower door in the master bedroom. This could easily be addresed with a mildew remover. Our grandchildren enjoyed the loft room, but storage would have been helpful. We made the three bathrooms work with eleven people, and
the two half bathrooms were appreciated ( a shower in one of them would have been nice). The price of this property was a plus for us when looking at other comparable properties in Detiny East. This was our fifth rental in Detiny East and we keep coming back because we love Destin. I would recommend this rental to
others

Our family rented Villa Marseilles for a one week vacation in Destin and it was a wonderful "home away from home". The house slept 8 easily and everyone enjoyed the pool and screened patio. Two golf carts came with the house and they were very convenient for getting everyone to the beach. Easy to drive and held all of our beach equipment. Neighborhood is very quiet, although there were children and dogs around. Beautiful gardens and lovely homes in this gated community. Community center was well stocked with books and movies, a work out room, pool, tennis courts and a walking path. It would have been nice to have beach chairs and towels accessible at the house. You can rent chairs/umbrellas on the beach but that gets expensive for a week with a crowd of people. Bringing your own beach towels is cumbersome. Kitchen needs a few more items to be fully equipped for cooking....more cooking utensils. Grill was not working when we arrived, but was serviced and cleaned for us immediately when we called. Thank you for sharing your home with us...it made for a perfect family trip.

We had a lovely time. Very nice house..only reason not 5 stars is the bunk room did not have a door. Teenagers were not thrilled with that. Beautiful complex, super clean and the golf carts made everything so easy.

The house and pool were beautiful. Loved the golf carts. We watched a movie at the clubhouse with our 6 year old granddaughter, We are going to try to make this a yearly event. The kitchen is the best equipped than any other rental. We do think the couches need to be replaced, way to soft.

The pictures on the website really did not do this house justice. We loved the spacious living area, with plenty of room to spread out. Great location for shopping and dining and the beach just a short walk or golf cart ride away. Great experience with the management company made it easy for check in. The pool was heated and ready to go for us. The kitchen was stocked with all the utensils and cookware that we needed! That's important for our family, as we like to hang out and cook together. We will definitely try and rent this house again!

We spent a fabulous week at Villa Marseille! The house was big enough for all 11 of my family and we also were able to bring our family dog with us.The house is gorgeous and set in the back of Destiny East away from the busy beach area but close to Highway 98. So running out to pick up something, eating at restaurants, and shopping at the outlets is convenient. There are 2 golf carts that came with the house and those were so fun to take back and forth to the beach, rides up Scenic 98 and even to Brewsters for ice cream. The amenities of Club Destiny are the nicest of any other place we have stayed over the past 9 years.
The private pool is a nice to have for times you don't want to go to the beach or a young one needs a nap. The staff and management company were very easy to work with, answer questions, and quick to help any problem that came up.

For us it was the best setup. We cook plenty and the kitchen was very well stocked. From baking to gadgets including small electronics. If you were to have a pet this too would be a great place. A couple of flaws but considering the amount of renters nothing we couldn't handle.

Anonymous from New Orleans - Posted: 9/7/2016

Great experience. If I would change anything it would be the check out time. Too early for a house this size. Maybe 11 am would be better, if not noon. It wouldn't take more than 4 hours to clean and inspect.

Anonymous - Posted: 7/11/2016

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay! We hope that you come back to visit in the future. As far as check out time, 10am is pretty standard for this industry. We do offer a late check out for an extra fee, but we have a large amount of properties that need to be clean between 10am (check out time) and 4pm (check in time). - Destin Palms Management

We would stay there again. Downfalls-kitchen needs more utensils only 1 dish towel, floor had not been moped our bare feet were black, master bedroom mattress needs changed as well as one of the queen beds. Other than those things it really is a nice place. The pool is great and the amenities are also nice. It is over a half Mile to the beach but the two golf carts helped that situation. Management was helpful also

This house was everything my family and I expected it to be and more! We requested to be able to check in early in case we arrived to Destin early and management quickly gave us the OK and the keyless door code to be able to check in early even though we arrived past 4pm. Already off to a good start! Once settled in, we wanted to check out the beach right away which wasn't far at all from the house. The golf carts were helpful providing us with a quick ride to the beach which was just right behind the community. The amenities in this house provided my family with enough but that was the least of our worries :) The pool was PERFECT to unwind and relax at night and especially for the kids when they didn't want to go to the beach. We had some minor problems during our stay but management was always there to quickly answer our questions and give us peace of mind :) Overall, a great experience! We would love to stay here again!
