Incredibly Family Friendly

We love vacationing in Destin, Florida, and this home made our trip even better! The location was perfect—super close to everything, especially the beach. It was just a short walk, and having two beach chairs and an umbrella provided was such a nice touch. There were even extras at the house if we wanted to bring more.The golf cart was a huge convenience and made getting around so easy without needing to use our car. The house itself was fantastic—clean, well-stocked with amenities, and the beds were incredibly comfortable.The kids had a blast in the pool, and the backyard was a great hangout spot for the whole family with ping pong, a basketball net, and cornhole. We truly had a blast and were not ready to leave!Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Perfect Family Beach House

Absolutely fantastic property. Faithful in all respects to the website photos and amenity list, unbeatable location (literally feet from the beach), great pool and a seamless check-in process. We have stayed at several comparable properties in the Destin area - this was, by far, the best rental experience we have had.

When we were doing the paperwork for the golf cart seemed to be a bit of a hassle. The golf cart its self needs new batteries. If you have an issue you will have to call that company yourself. Found that a little odd.

Fantastic property for our family vacation

Our large family of 21 … 9 adults and 12 kids stayed here at crystal manor. It was close to beach and the beach was perfect and having the umbrellas and chairs was fantastic. We did rent more for our large group but it was so worth it! The house was so clean and big enough for us all to gather and enjoy food, fun and each other. Plenty of room for each family to have privacy if they wanted also. Hopefully we will be back soon! Thank you to the sugar palm property for checking in on us and making sure we had everything we needed.

A Perfect Experience

For the past 10 years, we annually have a family vacation at a different place each year. Our 2021 vacation was the best yet! The house was perfect for 8 adults and 5 children. The space, cleanliness and layout of the house were amazing, and the amenities such as the golf cart, pool games, and private beach with umbrella and chairs were outstanding! Beach access was literally a 2-minute walk, and proximity to local attractions, shopping, golf and groceries was exactly what we were hoping. Our family strongly recommends this house if you are visiting Destin. You will not be sorry!

Great Service and Beautiful Home

Sugar Palm were great to work with prior to and during our stay. Communication was prompt and concise. When we had small concerns, they were there within the hour to help address our questions. When you are vacation, the ease of mind this gives is tremendous. The house was beautiful and clean. Just a short walk to the beach. All things needed were provided (pool/beach toys, extra towels, kitchen appliances and utensils, etc.). They were very detailed in their communications and yet they still exceeded expectations!

Why they chose this property

All of Destin's beaches are just amazing, but the Crystal Beach community is lower-density than other areas in Destin - no high-rise condos. It feels more like a quaint neighborhood with its white picket fences and sidewalks rather than a loud, busy resort area.

What makes this property unique

Two-story carriage house, two king master suites, huge kitchen, high level of finish, larger than average private pool for Crystal Beach, almost right on the beach.
