Close to the beach. Walked there with wagon of items around 5min walk. Pool is 2min walk. Close to things to do in Destin. Will stay there again.

This was the perfect stay location for my family! It was clean, spacious, and up to date! This is definitely the perfect spot for the kiddos as the beautiful community pool and beach are only a walk away. My only regret was not staying longer.

Comfortable and clean accommodations. Well equipped kitchen with a huge gas grill outside. Decent linens and towels included. Bed pillows were too flat and hard for me. The house is located in a lovely quiet neighborhood that is a very short walk to the clubhouse pool and the beach. Would have appreciated some beach gear (chairs, umbrella, ..), extra garbage bags, a few more rolls of toilet paper and paper towels considering the rental price. Owners must have addressed complaints by other reviewers - remotes, gas grill and clothes dryer worked fine.

Newman-Dailey Response:
Thank you for your recent review. Unfortunately, beds are very tricky, since everyone’s preferences are different. Some guests prefer a firm mattress while others prefer soft. We provide an initial setup of paper towels, toilet paper, and trash liners to get your vacation off to a good start. However, if you are staying for a longer trip or anticipate that you will need more than what we provide, we recommend either picking some up in town or packing additional supplies for your trip. Thanks for staying with us and we look forward to your next vacation!
The house is beautiful, across the street from beautiful white ,sugar sand beach. My family and I are already planning a return trip (vacation). It was clean, comfortable, and convenient to everything. We loved it so much, we were planning a return before we left.. Newman, Dailey you have made our family very pleased with your service, your associates were very helpful and personable. Thank you.

This location in a word, amazing. Easy 3 to 4 min. walk to beautiful James Lee beach, near Miramar beach. It's in a gated community of multi-million dollar houses. Clean and spacious. Realistically would sleep 2 couples and 3/4 kids. Main bedroom with bathroom is downstairs, with 2 bedrooms & full bath upstairs, half bath down, and a sleeper sofa in living room. Smart TVs with Blu-ray players in each room and in the living room. Also has a water hose outside at the back to rinse off sand. Patio on front is screened off for bugs and large balcony on 2nd floor. Has chairs for both. The only downsides to this place might be low shower water pressure (but the main bathroom has a detachable and adjustable shower head), no garage, no beach/water items, and lack of places to hang wet clothes. We would absolutely stay here again. (Check beach water conditions before booking your trip if possible!)

Accommodations were clean and beautiful. TV in upstairs bedroom only option to watch was cable tv. No Netflix or other networks to choose from. We subscribe to Netflix and other networks but did not have that option to sign in to our account to watch from bedroom. Also, only beach access was public. We thought being gated community there would be private beach access, our mistake. Otherwise, everything was as it should be. We will rent sooner next time as we will need more bedrooms, not much was available.

I had a good overall experience staying at the Waverly House in Destin. The only complaints I have was there was a routine door lock inspection done at the house in the middle of our stay (kind of odd) and we were locked out for several minutes. We had to call customer service and had to have them let us back in. The only other complaint would be that the Keurig coffee pot does not work at this house. When you turn it on it just gives a not ready code and makes an awful sound. Other than that, the house was clean, great location and had plenty of bath towels for a group of 6. I will definitely be booking with VRBO again.

We enjoyed our stay at the waverly house. It’s a three bedroom with a sofa sleeper. The house was clean upon our arrival. As in previous comments the carpet’s high traffic areas are obvious. That comes with wear and tear, it’s wasn’t an issue for us. The property was clean and that matters more to me than picking apart the carpet. We received one free tickets for parasailing and the dolphin cruise that’s an added bonus. The property is walking distance from a public beach. It’s a nice gated community. We will definitely stay again.

We learned of the Waverly House and Newman Dailey while searching the VRBO website for rentals in Destin. It was our first visit to Destin and our first experience with ND. Our group consisted of 3 adult couples (age 60+) and our activities centered around the beach, walks, bicycling, community pool, hot tub, and shopping.
We loved the Waverly House, it was just as advertised - charming, warm and inviting, relaxed décor, and wonderful porches. Furniture and beds were comfortable and digital amenities were top notch. The Destiny community was quiet and the distance to beach and attractions was perfect.
We were very impressed with ND’s services and the mobile app which put all relevant information at our fingertips. We felt connected and comfortable. When the new March gate code didn’t, we were able to input the Feb code and enter the neighborhood with no frustration because the information was in the app. THANK YOU.
We appreciate your assistance and we LOVED Destin! We were tickled pink and would use ND and rent the Waverly House again with pleasure!

Loved Waverly house. Would have given 5 stars except that carpeting should be replaced. Would replace carpet with tile throughout except possibly stairs. The home is beautiful and nicely laid out. For a young family the walk to the beach would be very easy. Being seniors we opted to take the car which wasn't a problem. Didn't use the pool as it isn't heated although it I'd beautiful. The workout room and bath/dressing room is very nice as well. Beautiful community. Bed and linens we're clean & comfortable. Overall the home was clean and nicely decorated. I would suggest a good deep cleaning (baseboards and such). Staff are very friendly and quickly answered any questions. With that being said we would highly recommend Waverly house. Staff

We appreciate your review of the Waverly House. It is always wonderful to hear from our guests. We strive to make every guest’s experience the best it can be. Thank you for your feedback on the carpeting. We have shared your review with the property manager to discuss with the owners. We look forward to welcoming you back to the beach.
Waverly House lived up to the pictures on the web. It’s spacious, comfortable, and kitchen was well-stocked. Beach, restaurants, shopping was easily accessible. Bike riding the gated community was a great way to begin the morning. Pool and other amenities were also a plus. We would certainly stay there again. Newman-Dailey staff will keep you updated from the time you commit to one of their properties. Entire staff is profesdional and friendly in every aspect.
Everything would have been perfect if the carpet in master bedroom and stairs was replaced and the refrigerator door either spray painted or a new one installed.

We rented the Waverly house from 3-24-18 thru 3-31-18. By far our best vacation ever. We will be using Newman Daily every year now. Everyone loved the house! Not perfect, but close to it. Quiet peaceful setting yet close enough to everything when you are ready to get wild or wet at the beach or pool. My only complaintvwould be that someone fix the front door hsndle to the screened in porch. It was very difficult to get to open.Everything else was good. Thank you for our perfect vacation!

We stayed in Waverly House while we were in Destin for a wedding. It was in a perfect location, close to the beach & in a quiet, safe gated community. Since we were traveling for a wedding, we didn't use any of the amenities such as the club house & pool. We also didn't use any of the kitchen appliances (except the refrigerator) so I can't speak to those either. I would say that some things need to be updated. You can definitely tell it is a rental property. Some of the blinds didn't work, the carpet needs replaced & some paint touch ups would be nice. However, this still wasn't a bad house at all. The beds were very comfortable & that was probably the most important thing to us since we had an exhausting schedule! I did like the key code pad that was on the side door. It was nice because you didn't have to remember keys!
All-in-all, it was a good stay. I would recommend!

Great week. Arrived early was hoping for early check-in in but didn't happen until 420. Had put away dishes that has food stuck to them and the kitchen reeked of seafood (I didn't call to inform staff) the frig was bad enough that the I've and any contents smelled as well. We had dirty sheets (ok because we always being our own) upon check in was given the wrong code for wifi (end of the world for my tweens). After all the little obstacles the weather was great making the week perfect.

Everything was great from beginning to end, stayed six nights with our whole family of 8. Easy stroll to the beach with tennis/bball court and pool on the way made it fun for all! The only disappointment was the gas grill would not heat up enough to cook, even after we changed the propane tank out for a fresh one... we ended up using the oven broiler. Might want to get the grill fixed or replace it, hopefully by the next time we come visit :)

My family & I enjoyed the stay. There was plenty of rooms & places for everyone to sleep. We really enjoyed bbq'ing in the evenings & sitting on the patio upstairs. The beach is right outside the community (5 minute walk), that is where we spent most of our days. This kids had a blast & I would stay & this property again :)

over all, very pleased with house. plenty of room for all to spread out. within 5 minutes of the beach. well stocked with appliances and dishes. community pool well kept and great way to relax from busy beach days. little less greenery around house would be nice and two keys for poolhouse and front gate a must. would definitely come back.

The Waverly house is very good. Spacious, cosy and in a gated community. The beach is a short walk away and we loved the community's heated pool and sauna.
We visited Destin in the mid of Spring break when the weather was still in the 45-55F range. Unfortunately we didnt get to see any of the emerald beaches (water was an ugly shade of green), could not snorkel (the biggest bummer of it all) and couldnt swim except in the heated pool.
We did parasail which was amazing and not to be missed; jet skis we couldnt again due to the cold and wet part.
In short your entire trip to Destin is very weather weather dependent. Since the place is beach town, if you cant go the beach, theres very little you can do, especially if you have kids in your party. Traffic was another issue; cant imagine what the traffic will be like in the summer.
Thumbs up to the rental, it was worth it but i dont plan another trip to Destin.

Home is beautiful very comfortable, loved the covered porch off the 2nd floor bedrooms. We had 2 familes with children 9, 5 & 18 months and it worked perfectly, just watch the tile on the screened in porch & the front porch it gets really slick when it is wet after coming back from the beach, the baby learned the hard way.
The kitchen utentials could use some updating the sharpest knife was a steak knife & the pans had some wear & the non-stick coating was not so non-stick anymore. Don't forget your ziplock bags, there isn't much tupperware available.
We didn't realize til one of the last days that we should have gotten a key at checkin to use the pool and fitness room.
It was a really short walk to the beach in a very residential area, but still a close drive to the outlet mall and other attractions.

My family planned this vacation for 6 months. When we found the house on line we were so excited. The photographs you provide online do not do the house justice. It is a beautiful home with all the comforts of being home. We arrived at a clean and well kept home. Before we arrived we could only hope that we had made a wise choice in homes but found that it was well worth the money!! The only complaint that we had during the entire trip was that the landscaping company came at the most inoportune times. My family which includes three children was woken up twice by the company. 7am is a bit too early to be walking around someones house with a hedge trimmer and weedeater. We hope to be able to come back next year and stay in this home again.
The amenity package was great. Would like to have seen some of the packages be able to be accrued so that we could have used more. Water park is outragously priced (not your fault)!!! Had a great time being able to take the kids to do such fun things.
The service of those who checked us in and out was impeccable. Thank you so much for the opportunity to have this vacation!!

Would recommend a better list of what is available in the house and what guests should bring. For example: Hair Dryer? Iron and Board ( was there but we didn't know). Beach Towels. etc. We had read about bringing extra paper towels, toilet paper, spices, dish washer soap, dishwashing soap, etc. or we would be in need for those items. Also tell guests they are responsible for putting out trash on trash day. That is not clear in directions.
But still a great stay and great house for our needs!

I have to say our first thought when we arrived at Waverly House was WOW!! After a very long day of driving we were very pleased with our accomodations when we arrived. The house was beautiful and well above our expectations. We were a late arrival and our check-in materials were left as expected. The location was perfect in my opinion. The neighborhood was very peaceful and quiet and we were away from any beach traffic, yet we could still hear the waves while sitting on the screened in porch. It was just a short walk to the beach with the softest sand I've ever felt. We did have a problem with the dryer while we were there but they had it fixed fairly quickly without any problems or inconvenience. Overall, our stay was very special and memorable. My parents were with us and it was their first time in Florida. We will definitely stay with at Waverly House and Newman-Dailey again. Thank You, The Alfrey's and Southern's from Indiana!

We had a girls trip 7 of us in one house. We never even got in each others way. The house was great everyone enjoyed it. Lots of room. We took a blow up to add a third person to one of the rooms and that worked perfect. No one on the fold out couch which left the entire living room and kitchen area open for early birds and night owls. The upstairs balcony was great! Each bedroom upstairs opened to the balcony, the master bedroom also had its own patio and then you have the screen front porch and the covered porch by the bbq grill. I would love to stay in the spring with all the doors and windows open!! It would be great! The house was clean which is a big plus. The appliances could use a little work but very functional for the time we were there. The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes, pot & pans,and cooking utensils. You will need to buy your spices all the way down to salt and pepper. You will need to buy toilet paper,laundry soap and dishwasher soap. Plenty of bath towels in the house we only had to wash once but again we had 7 girls that probably use two towels each day. The beach is just across the street from the community you could walk but with a cooler, beach bags, etc. easier to drive. The community pool is great! I wish they would play music but I guess we can not have it all. The pool you can walk to no problem, just around the corner. The neighborhood is quiet and you feel very safe. I would recommend this house to anyone. I will be staying here again.

The picture doesn't do this place justice, we liked it looking on line, but it was amazing when we got there. what u can't see is the deck that runs the length of the house off of two bedrooms. the home has a beautiful beach like interior, with comfortable beds and many tv's. Kitchen is very nice with everything u need if u decide to eat in while staying. we highly recommend several restaurants, but our favorites were Pompano Joe's, Dewey Destins, and Crab Trap. Also, Red Brick Pizza in the Destin Commons Mall. For families Big Kahuna's waterpark is a blast and the kids loved The Track. Obviously the beach is gorgeous.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Waverly House. It was in a quiet and relaxing location. Newman Daily was very accomodating and helpful with providing us everything we needed. The house itself was beautiful - located in a wonderful gated community. Restaurants and the beach were located close by - and we were only about a mile from the shops. The beach had easy access and the community had a nice pool area. It was about two blocks to the beach - but other than walking a little bit - it was great!

I could not have been more pleased with this property or the way the Newman-Dailey mgmt team handled our stay. The house was beautifully maintained and close to everything we wanted to do in Destin, the community was gated so security and seclusion from the "tourism" side of Destin was was never an issue,it was immaculate. The only thing we needed was food for the week, and our clothes, everything else was provided and we had an absolutly marvelous time.
Thanks Newman-Dailey for a wonderful vacation full of GREAT memories !!
