We absolutely loved staying at Sweet Tea. The location was amazing. First level beach access was definitely a plus! We had a great time. The neighborhood was very peaceful and quiet. We had a great vacation and would definitely book there again.
Perfect location! Steps to the beach. Needs some updates, outdoor furniture and cushions could use a cleaning, and the mattress on the pull out couch is odorous, but we didn’t spend much time inside when the beach is steps away! Would rent again.
Came in leeward II for the 3rd or 4th time. Love that location close from everything. Best private beach. Not packed at all. Sleeps 6 comfortably. That unit with the patio is so practical right on the send. Will come back for sure.
Great location with large back patio to sit and enjoy the ocean. Very small condo with only 1 bathroom but the location is perfect. The laundry facilities are shared so keep that in mind when booking. Kitchen was well stocked and linens clean. Everything is white including couch and chair so avoid Cheetos!
Love this place. I always look for somewhere around this area and I’m so glad this one was available. The ground floor deck is an AWESOME perk. Literally steps away from the sand so if you forget something up in the condo, you don’t have to go a mile back to the room to grab it. Couldn’t have asked for better!
Smooth and easy check-in process. The property was fantastic, convenient to the beach and close to all the restaurants and shops. The only downside was the back porch being a worksite for the first 24hrs of the trip and losing access due to saws and ladders spanning the deck. Unfortunately, the rental company didn't communicate this in advance, but it was a minor hiccup on an otherwise great trip. We would stay here again.

Perfect!
This was our third year in a row to stay at this condo. It’s cozy and perfect for couples or small families. The patio makes it feel much larger and provides the perfect place to sit and enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner or just chilling late at night listening to the waves. The room was clean and had everything we needed! If you are considering this place, don’t overthink it. There’s literally no place quite like it on 30A.
We booked the condo for a few days during spring break...it was myself, my teenage daughter and one of her friends. They were so thrilled with the "asthetics" of the condo.So cute and had everything we needed. The back patio was amazing and you literally have 9 steps to the beach. The location is great...we rented bikes and they biked to both seaside and The Big Chill. Would definitely recommend.
I go to leeward 1 or 2 every year and looooove the location!!!! Close to everything and gorgeous beach and water.
This unit is perfect with a huge patio that makes everything easy with kids. Beach access right there!!!
The kitchen needs a good cleaning though (sticky cabinets and handles). And the bathroom needs some update (walls, and add towel hangers).
But overall very very good unit and location. Will go back for sure!!!
Our top priority is convenience to the beach. Sweer Tea II exceeded our expectations. The unit is cozy and well furnished. It could stand some paint touch-up and a few other deferred maintenance items being addressed. A basic TV cable package would have been nice. My wife and I are not big into streaming. Also, if you are supplying your own chairs you will battle the "beach service company" for a prime water front location.
We rented Sweet Tea for 7 days and could not have been happier with the accommodations. The condo is perfectly situated right on the beach with a fantastic deck that looks out at the ocean with two lounge chairs and a four seat dining table. The unit was very clean and modern and had all the amenities we needed. The beach chair rental kiosk was just outside the property which made it very easy to rent beach chairs/umbrellas.
I gave this an overall rating of 4 installed of 5 for two reasons:
1. The shower door does not shut completely which floods the bathroom floor and rug. You have to point the shower head basically against the wall to reduce the amount of water that goes outside of the shower.
2. The bed and mattress in the bedroom needs to be replaced. The bed makes all kinds of noise any time you roll over, waking your partner. And there are huge divots in the mattress that you roll into, making it not very comfortable.
Outside of those two issues, we had no complaints!!!
Nice but get ready for a fight for your spot on the beach
While the property is nice and right on the beach be prepared to wake up on your vacation at 6:00 am to put out your personal belongings if you do NOT rent the chairs from a rental company. We had to fight for a spot on our private beach that we paid $4,000 to stay at! Apparently the chair rental company and a contract with Leeward I and according to Nick (at the rental place) she forces these kids to put out rental chairs because she doesn’t want people’s personal belonging on the beach! IF sweet tea provided these chairs then you won’t have a problem but sweet tea doesn’t provide chairs unless you rent them.
All week long it was a battle to sit where we wanted!!
Another issue is the shower door doesn’t stay shut so the bathroom floor get SOAKED!
Upon arrival we thought the door was locked and could not get into the room and had to call the after hour property manager. He called us back and informed us that maintenance had installed the door handle upside down!! After a LONG day of driving that was the last thing we wanted to encounter upon arrival.
One more thing if you want to eat out be prepared to drive an hour (bc of traffic) back into Destin bc this place is located around nothing but a Tom Thumb!
For the money that it costs to stay in a room/kitchen the fight and headaches were NOT worth it!!!!!!!
This unit does not have much good I can say about it. The shower floods the bathroom unless you turn the shower head to the corner and then you have to crouch down to wash. A simple fix is to put a rub strip on the bottom of the glass shower door to keep the water from running out. There are no towel bars for you to hang your towels to dry, it appears there once was one on the wall but I guess they can’t spare 5 minutes to put it back up. The rugs should be thrown out as they are falling apart. There were giant 4” palmetto bug roaches to which I called about and was told they aren’t roaches. The reply I was given was that she would call the HOA and tell them they need to spray, a little too late for that!! I didn’t even want to be in there after dark let alone sleep there as I was petrified of these critters and I certainly didn’t want any bugs coming home with me. The outside deck is being held together by quite a bit of duct tape and the outdoor rug is shredded to pieces. All of these things are super simple and very inexpensive fixes.
The only thing this has going for it is the beautiful beach that you just walk down to from the deck. We stayed on the beach from sunrise to sunset and that was wonderful.

You’ll Be Back!
Sometimes after looking at a rental that has such beautiful pictures, the reality is not quite as good. That’s not the case at Sweet Tea. It really is an excellent place to enjoy the white sands and gorgeous waters of the gulf. Being right on the beach, and having a large private deck, allows you to see and hear the ocean all the time. It’s wonderfully decorated in a casual, beachy vibe.
You can easily fit a couple kids in the darling built in bunkbeds in the hallway. They would love their little nooks for playing and sleeping. The living area is roomy and the kitchen is big enough to do any cooking you need to do while staying here. The bathroom is updated and beautiful with fluffy white towels provided. The shower tends to leak where the glass doors come together, but there is a rug to absorb it and we just put it outside to dry off.
Don’t forget to bring your own beach towels. There are plenty of boogie boards, a canopy, and beach chairs stored on the deck so don’t worry about bringing those yourself.
There are numerous activities to do in the area, or you can do nothing at all but relax and enjoy the beach. Nancy was so helpful and easy to work with.
The only negative is that the floors are not well insulated and we could hear all the steps and running above us......but then you’re not inside that much. It’s so beautiful you want to be out and enjoying the beach or deck.
And I have to give a big shout out for HOOKS! My husband and I travel a lot. Staying at Airbnb, Homeaway, hotels and other places. The number one frustration I always have is that there’s plenty of wall space but there’s nowhere to hang up your clothes, jackets, towels, pajamas… and so on. Three cheers for Sweet Tea. There are plenty of hooks in the hall, the bathroom and even next to the kids bunkbeds.
Definitely a place to visit again.
