 "We loved the house!! We had to evacuate for Hurricane Gustav and called Nick to see what was available. Nick and his wife were great with helping us with our needs. Nick sent Michelle and Carl on Sunday morning to make sure that we had everything we needed. They all went over and beyond making sure we were ok. The house was wonderful!! We were twelve people and we were very comfortable. Everything was super clean and the water was beautiful. The private pool was great for the kids at the end of the day. I hope to stay there again and would recommend anyone to stay there. Nick, Tina, Michelle and Carl are all great people to deal with. Thank you so much for assisting us during the hurricane!!" - Michelle Strohe, Lafayette, LA 70503, 09/09/08
"During the week of August 16-21, 2008 my four daughters and their children joined my husband and me at the lovely "Another Slice of Paradise." The house is absolutely beautiful with easy access to the beach. There was plenty of room for the 6 children and 8 adults. My daugher & her husband with their new baby were happy that a bedroom was located close to the kitchen...yet the accompanying family area was far enough away to ensure peace and quiet when the baby was asleep. We were very happy to have such accomadations! Thanks, Nick!" - Mary Lou, Plano, TX, 09/01/08
"My family and I rented "Another Slice of Paradise" at Frangista Beach this summer with two other couples and their children. There were six adults and 7 children. The home was exceptionally comfortable with plenty of room for all of us. We never felt crowded or cramped. It is a BEAUTIFUL home, and everything is first class. You don't need a thing! It was wonderful having two dishwashers, two washers and dryers, plenty TV's and DVD's and the pool. We also loved the large showers in the two master bedrooms! It is conveniently located to the beach, restaurants and shopping. I did not want to go home and hope to make a return trip next summer! THANK YOU for a fantastic week, Nick!" - Anonymous, Houston, Texas, 08/28/08

"Our family stayed at Slice of Paradise from July 12-19, 2008, and included six adults and six children. There was plenty of room for all and the kitchen equipment was excellent. I fell and broke my foot several days before arriving in Destin, so the elevator was a tremendous help. We have been coming to the Destin area forever and always enjoy The Crab Trap, Captain Dave's and Busters for great seafood.Thanks for sharing your wonderful home with us." - Martha Ishee, Germantown, TN, 07/29/08
 "Our family didn't want to leave yesterday. We truly felt as if we had found the perfect place to be. The home is beautiful and spacious while being comfortable and inviting. The views from the balconies were breathtaking. Our children and grandchildren have already decided they want to come back yearly or better yet just take up permanent residence at "Another Slice of Paradise". The kitchen was well stocked with any equipment we needed. The beach and pool got a lot of attention from us the entire week. Only one day was a rainout, but we just used that day to visit and relax. Thanks for creating such a wonderful place to be with family and appreciate what we have. George and Annette Sollner & Family" - Annette Sollner, Lansing, Michigan, 07/06/08
"Our family had a wonderful time at this beautiful Destin beach house! The house is beautifully furnished and contains everything you need. The kitchen has great cookware and utensils, the bed linens and towels are great, the body sprays in the showers totally spoiled us, the swimming pool was thoroughly enjoyed by all, the beach is beautiful, the balconies are relaxing and great places to people watch, and restaurants and shops are within walking distance. There is plenty of room to all be together when you want to be together, and plenty of room to go off and get away by yourself when you need a few minutes alone. We don't know what more we could have asked for and we plan to return next summer! Thank you very much, Nick and Tina, for this wonderful house!" - The Bethea Family, 07/05/08
"Nick and Tina were extremely accommodating for our family reunion. Each couple was able to have their own bathroom, which was a huge selling point for us. The house is spacious and beautifully decorated. Another high point was the private pool and private beach access. With three floors, everyone was able to have plenty of elbow room, including the children. We highly reccomend this beautiful house. Nick and Tina are wonderful. You will NOT be disappointed!!! We look forward to booking our next family renion at this same house." - Stacey Wolf, Tallahassee, FL, 05/17/08

"Our family enjoyed "Another Slice of Paradise" during the week of June 2-9, 2007. It was the most perfect vacation for our group of fourteen. The layout of the house worked great for everyone, allowing all privacy when needed. We enjoyed the pool as much as the beach since we had several little ones. This was our first trip to Destin but I can't imagine a nicer or more convenient place to stay. We will definitely come back to this house again. Thanks, Nick, for sharing your wonderful house with us." - sharon harder, plainview tx, 06/23/07
"We stayed at "Another Slice of Paradise" from April 7 - 14, 2007. We've stayed in Destin for 6 spring breaks in a row, and this house was by far our favorite. Though we only had 3 children, we had 4 couples and the house allowed for plenty of space and privacy. The home is absolutely beautiful with high-end furnishings and finishes.We found the home perfectly met the needs of multiple families. The kitchen workspace and storage is plentiful for group meals, and 2 sets of washers/dryers was appreciated.This home will surely get harder to rent each year, as it is an exceptional value for the quality and location of the property." - Steffel Family & Guests, Cincinnati, Ohio, 05/26/07
"Nick – Our family of 12 had a fabulous time at your Frangista Beach house. The house is wonderfully decorated, spacious, and clean. We enjoyed being able to view the beach from the second floor balcony and the kids were thrilled when they spotted several dolphins swimming close to the shore line. The beaches in Destin are second to none. The white sand and crystal blue green water was amazing. We hope to enjoy your house again in the future. Thanks, The Maxwell's." - Missy Maxwell, Westerville Ohio, 05/17/07
"Nick, The week we spent (march 10 - 17) at your rental home at Frangista Beach was perfect. There was plenty of room for our large group and the 6.5 baths made everyone feel like they had their very own. The beach just across the street was conveinent, beautiful and a wonderful place for the kids and adults to play. In the late afternoons, sometimes we entertained ourselves by sitting on the 2nd floor front porch watching the cars and people go back and forth. Everything in the house worked great. The price was reasonable and we look forward to staying there again." - Frank, Greenville, Ms., 04/05/07

We highly recommend this vacation home!" - L Simmons, Coconut Creek, Florida, 03/07/07
"We just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you again for allowing us to use your beautiful home. We hadn’t been to the beach in nearly two years. Our kids had a great time on the beach, building sand castles, collecting shells, and chasing sand pipers. Debby and I enjoyed the beautiful views and the lovely home.It was a great vacation. We really needed some time away from the stress of our regular routine. The kids didn’t want to leave—they wanted “to stay for a year!” Thank you so much for sharing your “Slice of Paradise.”Have a blessed and happy 2007." - The Freel Family, Marietta, GA, 02/06/07
"We had the pleasure of enjoying this lovely home with our family for Thanksgiving 2006. It was wonderful cooking all our meals in this well appointed kitchen for this holiday feast. Nick was wonderful to answer all our questions and could be reached at any time. We have been renting houses and condos for 20 years in Destin and this was one of the nicest experiences we have had. The house is beautiful and very comfortable for all ages. Thank you for sharing your vacation home with us. We will be back." - Carol Walsh, Fort Worth, Texas, 12/12/06

 "Great THREE LEVEL floor plan! No walking into each other with this immaculate, beautifully decorated beach home. I loved the fact that the younger males and females could have their own private space, including bathrooms! This made dressing for a night out so much easier! We could all also fit into the wonderful accomidating kitchen as well. The private pool along with the grill was an extra bonus, very relaxing. The walk to the beach is soooo easy, nothing to it. We enjoyed it all and plan to be back in 2007! Thanks for the great hospitality Nick and Tina!" - The Dunns and The Wrenns, Gadsden, AL, 08/19/06
"ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Nothing could have been better - the accomodations were splendid - the house is very spacious, very well laid out and accomodating for multi-family vacations. Furnishings were extremely comfortable. Frangista area is very nice - close enough to all the action but set apart to avoid the crowds. Beach was incredible and having the outdoor shower and pool right behind the house was ultra convenient. Our grandson (2 years old) is suffering withdrawal from riding in the "magic closet" (elevator) each night to go to bed! We will definitely be back in the future." - Rick and Mallette Cook, Sparta, NJ, 08/17/06

 "We were the first occupants in this House. It was absolutly decorated beautifully. The design of all rooms and bathrooms were perfect for the 4 families that stayed there. The Kitchen had everything you could possibly think of and the 2 dishwashers were the best. We only ate out twice in a week and wanted to cooked in all the other nights. The house is located across the street but the entrance to the beach was so close and convenient.We would definately come back and stay there." - Lisa MAziur, Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas, 07/18/06
"Destin and this home exceded our expectations! 3 familiies of 6 adults and 9 children from 2 to 11 have vacationed for close to 8 years together. This was our first beach vacation to Destin, and it certainly will entice us to return, and quickly. The house was great. Clean, well decorated, plenty of room and great closet/drawer space to get comfortable for a week. The "welcome" meeting by Michelle the housekeeper was very helpful. The proximity to beach was ideal and access to the community pool incredibly easy (just don't cut through the neighbor's yard...ooops). Even with such young children running back and forth between the house and either location was no hassle. The house pool was a great refresher before or after the beach. And, almost all the amenities one could want in a vacation home are found in this home. We would definitely return. Thank you for such a splendid place to spend a week!" - Christina O'Dell and clan, Charlotte, NC, 07/17/06
"My family stayed at the Frangista Beach house during the week of June 10th. We had a fantastic time!!! There were 9 adults and 7 little ones, and we never felt crowded. The house was immaculate, and very comfortable. The beach access was certainly convenient, and the beach was beautiful. Nick was attentive to all of our questions/requests, and was perfectly hospitable. We have now been spoiled, and will expect this type of experience on all of our vacations. We would definitely go back to this property again! Thanks, Nick!" - Ashley P., Plano, TX |, 07/06/06
"We had our second stay at your beautiful home the week of May 27th. As was the case in 2005, your home was perfect for our vacation.

We'll see you again in 2007.Rebecca and Kevin Brewster" - Rebecca and Kevin Brewster, Marietta, GA, 06/26/06

The home is very beautiful, and has all the amenities of home and more. All of us agreed that this was the best beach vacation we have ever taken. It has every possible amenity, it is cozy and warm, yet large enough for a group to vacation together. We had a wonderful experience, and we owe it all to the Athens family. Thank you so much for your attention to detail. We will visit again soon. " - David Reeves, Indianapolis, IN, 02/11/06

The elevator was fantastic for my Mother and loading/unloading luggage and groceries. The home was beautifully decorated, the views were great, the beach and community pool right out the door and convenient to all shopping and resturants.
