Check in was perfect. The kitchen was excellent. Didn’t need the wi fi. Transport access was great. I would say the cleanliness of the house was lacking. The pull out couch seemed as if it wasn’t cleaned in a long time. There was trash under the beds and the bathrooms were somewhat dirty. Overall we had a great stay and would stay again.

Wonderful Vacation in Destin

Mike and Vicki were great hosts. Communication was easy and thorough. Sundial is just a few short blocks from the beach and easy access to dining. It's located in a cute little pet-friendly neighborhood. The house was perfect for our family vacation!

Great Location

We had a lovely 2-month stay at the cottage. Everything was perfect- clean, comfortable and in a lovely neighborhood. The very short walk to the beach was pleasant with such friendly neighbors and a charming cafe with live vintage music. It was a lot of fun. Our hosts were perfect…responsive, kind and accommodating.

Amazing Stay!

The property was amazing! Very spacious and clean. Kitchen fully stocked with dishes. The starter supplies actually last us all week and we are a family of 6 including 4 teens. Close to everything. Homeowners were very quick to respond to messages. We really couldn't have asked for a better week!

Crystal Beach Vacation

The private pool was a hit with our kids! We rented a golf cart & went to the beach every morning (2 minute cart ride) then came back, rinsed off in the shower on the back patio, & got in the pool. Most relaxing vacation. Very convenient access to local grocery store & shops as well.

Extremely clean!!!

The property was extremely clean. The house was larger than i thought it would be. It has a very nice layout, beautifully decorated, and gorgeous landscape. There were plenty of starters like dish detergent, toilet paper, soap, shampoo, conditioner etc. Also plenty of towels were offered. Our family spent a lot of time enjoying the private pool! If you have a lot to carry to the beach, I would highly recommend renting a golf cart. The walk to the beach is a little far in the heat. The golf cart made our trip feel more like a vacation...cruising around the streets feeling the ocean breeze. My teenage daughter likes to shop and there were many many options very close by. We had a couple days of rain, so we had fun making memories together shopping.

We loved the home and enjoyed the private pool. The house was clean and suited our family perfectly. The host was quick to respond when we needed her. Vicki was so kind and excited for us to enjoy the home.We have visited Destin yearly for the last 30 years and I have to say this was one of our best years. Thanks for a great stay!
