We stayed in Ocean Cabana the week of July 4th, 2009 and absolutely had a ball! What a perfect set
up for a group with kids ranging from 5 to 16! The location was perfect for the older kids, allowing
them some independence to walk back and forth to the beach, as well as an easy trot back to the
house for the small kids.
The bedrooms were a great layout, with three kings, no one fought over who was getting the BIG bed! The added bonus was the pool and big back yard. Enough room for horseshoes, BBQ, Fish
Frying and just sitting around relaxing.
Ocean Cabana is the second house that we have stayed at that is owned by this couple. We loved both of them and will use them again!
Fun & Spacious for the Family!Review Submitted: September 10, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2008
The house was a great spot for our family vacation. It was properly maintained and had everything
we needed. The layout was perfect for the entire family to be together but not in each other's way.
The living room/dining/kitchen layout is ideal. The pool is a great feature of the house after the
beach in the evenings. It was quiet and peaceful and enough room and seating for us all to enjoy.
We all had such a great time we plan on going back next year!
Ocean Cabana ~ Our Home Away From HomeReview Submitted: September 9, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We just returned from a week stay at the Ocean Cabana. It was fabulous and totally met all of our
needs. The decorations were perfect for the Florida area with all the palm trees. The kitchen was
stocked with all the electrical appliances. The full size washer and dryer was a definite plus as it was
nice returning home with clean clothes. Its location was so convenient to local stores and
restaurants. However, it was extremely nice having the gas grill in the backyard. It made having our
family vacation that much nicer by staying home and enjoying the meal and everyone's company.
The walk to the beach wasn't bad at all. We would get up every morning and have our daily walk
along the ocean. During the day, we would enjoy the sounds of the waves and the rays of the
sun...but if someone wanted to go back to catch more rays, the pool was right there. The owners
were very friendly and professional as I was working on the vacation plans. Our whole group did the
Blackbeard Sunset Tour. We highly recommend it! We saw dolphins and watched a beautiful sunset
before returning. We would definitely recommend the Ocean Cabana & Clearview Vacation Rentals to
our family and friends. We can't wait to return!
Spring vacationReview Submitted: August 21, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
Great house, great location, lots of room, everything we needed. The only thing we could have asked
for was nicer weather. Enjoyed the beach on the good days, did some geo caching around the area.
The owners were very nice people and explained everything quit well. Would definitely stay again.
13 Family Members..from Grams to Age 1Review Submitted: August 5, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We stayed here the week of July 25,2009,and had a wonderful time. Place was sparkling clean,
beginning supplies,(TP, soap, etc) as promised. We called the owner 15 minutes out and he was
there to meet us, go over ground rules and give us keys. Grams has some mobility problems so the
first floor bedroom and bath were a dream.
The three fourteen year old granddaughters loved going up on the balcony at night and talking and
giggling....the furnishings and supplies (pots and pans and small appliances) were outstanding.
Great walking, good beach access, close to stores but practically no traffic noise.
One of the best features was the pool and surrounding deck and chairs...we would definitely reurn to
Ocean Cabana or one of John's other properties.
Highly recommend renting a pontoon boat and cruising the Bay...sand bar to anchor on and some
very empty beach areas.

We stayed in May. We had 11 people in our group, had plenty of room and bathrooms. The house
and property were beautiful and very nicely decorated. Just a short distance from the beach. This
was our families 3rd vacation to Florida and we really loved this house.All the kids loved the pool and
it was very private. Everything you need for a wounderful vacation is there. The property owners
were very nice to deal with and helpful.

we stayed may 11-17 2008. there was a group of ten adults and 4 kids (all 4 and under). We had such a nice time. The house was beautiful, updated, and we had a blast at the pool! it was really nice to have a vacation in a house opposed to a hotel- we cooked out, we all got to hang out together by our private pool, and there was a washer and dryer!! there is also a way to rent a golf cart for the week. that was a big help. the older kids also loved taking rides in the golf cart- which is a licensed vehicle that you can ride on all rodes less than 35 mph. Jon the owner of the home came by a couple of times to clean the pool, very nice guy. over all we had a great vacation and i would recommend this house to anyone. it was close to walmart, beach shops, beach and restuarants. i loved it!!!
The Best Vacation Ever!Review Submitted: October 12, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
The perfect spot for your ideal vacation. The house was gorgeous with all the necessities for the perfect vacation. This house could easily sleep 16+ people, but for this vacation I, my husband, 2 year old son and my two parents stayed here. The house was amazing. The kitchen was awesome, fully stocked with all your cooking needs. My parents slept down stairs in a very comfy room (with a bathroom attached). We slept upstairs in the master suite… and let me tell you…this room is gorgeous! The pictures just do not do this house justice. My 2 year old son slept in the room next door in a crib that was provided by the owners. For anyone who has little ones, you know what a relief it is not to have to pack the highchair, pack-n-play, nightlight etc. The owners provided all this for us…and made our vacation so “baby friendly.” The location of this house is PERFECT! It is such an easy walk… we did drive just because we had a 2 year old and more beach toys than any one child should have :) But if you have small children the owners also provided a couple of wagons that they could climb in and then be pulled down to the beautiful sandy beaches. I don’t want to forget to mention that the owners had all the beach toys/sand buckets you could imagine that they have collected over time that kids can play with… so no need to bring a lot of beach toys like us… just one more convenient/thoughtful bonus.
I need to also include the fabulous private heated pool that comes with the house. Oh my goodness, we could have, and pretty much did spend the bulk of our vacation in the pool. It has a shower right by the pool, so when you get back from a long day at the beach, you can wash all the sand off and then spend hours just chillaxin in the crystal clean pool. The pool was one of our favorite parts of the vacation. The steps leading into the pool made it very easy for my mom and 2 year old to get in and out. I could absolutely write a novel on how much we LOVED it but I am only allowed so much space for this review. I guess I will wrap this up with saying the house is awesome, the beaches are awesome, the location is awesome, the shopping is awesome, but most importantly… John and Dawn (the owners) are awesome. Please…if you are looking for an amazing vacation destination this is it! You will not be disappointed!! Thank you so much John and Dawn… You’re the BEST!! Very family orientedReview Submitted: July 19, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We stayed in this home for 1 week and it was awesome. I have 3 small boys and they enjoyed the pool at the house more than they did the beach. The walk to the beach was a great time to explain the rules of the beach to the boys. We also had 2 other families stay with us in the house, which totaled 12. It was actually big enough for all of us. We did not run into each other at all. Very convienent location. I will be back to stay here in the future. The house was very clean and well decorated. The owners were great about providing us with the information that we need to complete our stay.
Exactly as AdvertisedReview Submitted: July 16, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
Sight unseen (other than the internet) my family booked a last minute spring vacation this year. Without a personal recommendation, we were a little apprehensive as to the booking. As it turned out, we had nothing to worry about. The house was clean and spacious. The owners were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The location is excellent to the shopping areas, yet in a quiet, homey neighborhood. My daughters (ages 3 and 6) loved the pool. I am already looking forward to our next stay!
Review Submitted: July 15, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Wonderful vacation home in Destin! We have stayed in this same house for 3 years in a row if that tells you anything. We love the location...close to the beach and to shopping! Plenty of space for large families and well kept. Has everything you need to have a fun and relaxing vacation. Would recommend again and again!

We stayed in this home for 1 week and it was awesome. I have 3 small boys and they enjoyed the pool at the house more than they did the beach. The walk to the beach was a great time to explain the rules of the beach to the boys. We also had 2 other families stay with us in the house, which totaled 12. It was actually big enough for all of us. We did not run into each other at all. Very convienent location. I will be back to stay here in the future. The house was very clean and well decorated. The owners were great about providing us with the information that we need to complete our stay.
Exactly as AdvertisedReview Submitted: July 16, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
Sight unseen (other than the internet) my family booked a last minute spring vacation this year at the Lazy Pineapple. Without a personal recommendation, we were a little apprehensive as to the booking. As it turned out, we had nothing to worry about. The house was clean and spacious. The owners were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The location is excellent: 1 block south to the beach - 2 blocks north to the shopping areas, yet in a quiet, homey neighborhood. My daughters (ages 3 and 6) loved the pool. I am already looking forward to our next stay!

Wonderful vacation home in Destin! We have stayed in this same house for 3 years in a row if that tells you anything. We love the location...close to the beach and to shopping! Plenty of space for large families and well kept. Has everything you need to have a fun and relaxing vacation. Would recommend again and again!
Ocean CabanaReview Submitted: July 15, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We stayed in Ocean Cabana the week of July 4th, 2009 and absolutely had a ball! What a perfect set up for a group with kids ranging from 5 to 16! The location was perfect for the older kids, allowing them some independence to walk back and forth to the beach, as well as an easy trot back to the house for the small kids.
The bedrooms were a great layout, with three kings, no one fought over who was getting the BIG bed! The added bonus was the pool and big back yard. Enough room for horseshoes, BBQ, Fish Frying and just sitting around relaxing. Ocean Cabana is the second house that we have stayed at that is owned by this couple. We loved both of them and will use them again! Fun & Spacious for the Family!Review Submitted: September 10, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2008
The house was a great spot for our family vacation. It was properly maintained and had everything we needed. The layout was perfect for the entire family to be together but not in each other's way. The living room/dining/kitchen layout is ideal. The pool is a great feature of the house after the beach in the evenings. It was quiet and peaceful and enough room and seating for us all to enjoy. We all had such a great time we plan on going back next year!
Ocean Cabana ~ Our Home Away From HomeReview Submitted: September 9, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We just returned from a week stay at the Ocean Cabana. It was fabulous and totally met all of our needs. The decorations were perfect for the Florida area with all the palm trees. The kitchen was stocked with all the electrical appliances. The full size washer and dryer was a definite plus as it was nice returning home with clean clothes. Its location was so convenient to local stores and restaurants. However, it was extremely nice having the gas grill in the backyard. It made having our family vacation that much nicer by staying home and enjoying the meal and everyone's company. The walk to the beach wasn't bad at all. We would get up every morning and have our daily walk along the ocean. During the day, we would enjoy the sounds of the waves and the rays of the sun...but if someone wanted to go back to catch more rays, the pool was right there. The owners were very friendly and professional as I was working on the vacation plans. Our whole group did the Blackbeard Sunset Tour. We highly recommend it! We saw dolphins and watched a beautiful sunset before returning. We would definitely recommend the Ocean Cabana & Clearview Vacation Rentals to our family and friends. We can't wait to return!

Great house, great location, lots of room, everything we needed. The only thing we could have asked for was nicer weather. Enjoyed the beach on the good days, did some geo caching around the area. The owners were very nice people and explained everything quit well. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed here the week of July 25,2009,and had a wonderful time. Place was sparkling clean, beginning supplies,(TP, soap, etc) as promised. We called the owner 15 minutes out and he was there to meet us, go over ground rules and give us keys. Grams has some mobility problems so the first floor bedroom and bath were a dream.
The three fourteen year old granddaughters loved going up on the balcony at night and talking and giggling....the furnishings and supplies (pots and pans and small appliances) were outstanding. Great walking, good beach access, close to stores but practically no traffic noise. One of the best features was the pool and surrounding deck and chairs...we would definitely reurn to Ocean Cabana or one of John's other properties. Highly recommend renting a pontoon boat and cruising the Bay...sand bar to anchor on and some very empty beach areas. Review Submitted: July 16, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We stayed in May. We had 11 people in our group, had plenty of room and bathrooms. The house and property were beautiful and very nicely decorated. Just a short distance from the beach. This was our families 3rd vacation to Florida and we really loved this house.All the kids loved the pool and it was very private. Everything you need for a wounderful vacation is there. The property owners were very nice to deal with and helpful.

We really enjoyed staying at the Mango Sun. It is a very nice home with an outstanding beach a short walk away. Also thanks for taking the time to answer our "many" questions in regards to the area and investing in Destin. Thanks, B&K in Ohio

we stayed at the mango sun may 11-17 2008. there was a group of ten adults and 4 kids (all 4 and under). We had such a nice time. The house was beautiful, updated, and we had a blast at the pool! it was really nice to have a vacation in a house opposed to a hotel- we cooked out, we all got to hang out together by our private pool, and there was a washer and dryer!! there is also a way to rent a golf cart for the week. that was a big help. the beach was one block away and with all those kids there was too much stuff to try to carry while walking. the older kids also loved taking rides in the golf cart- which is a licensed vehicle that you can ride on all rodes less than 35 mph. Jon the owner of the home came by a couple of times to clean the pool, very nice guy. over all we had a great vacation and i would recommend this house to anyone. it was close to walmart, beach shops, beach and restuarants. i loved it!!!
