About this property

Beach service included Mar through Oct. Sleeps 14, Beautiful and Clean.

Our guests love our place and keep coming back.

We have turned a sad neglected townhouse into a beauty. The most common feedback we get is that our floorplan is perfect and we have thought of everything guest's need for their stay.

Everything is new and beautifully updated in a modern coastal style. We removed the old spiral deck stairs and enclosure and replaced it with larger deck areas and real deck stairs. We love buying diamonds in the rough and transforming them. We poured our hearts into this property and it is our favorite of all we have ever owned.

We also stay at our properties to get a feel for what the rental experience will be like for our guest. We work so hard to make sure it is a place where we would enjoy staying.

This beautifully renovated 3 story townhome sits directly on the beach and comes with a Seasonal Beach Service set-up for 4 (2 umbrellas and 4 chairs from March through October). We own the beach in front of our townhome to the water line, so you truly will have your own private beach to enjoy.

As you enter into the townhouse, you will be greeted by a foyer with a staircase leading to the second floor and a hallway to your right where you will find 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a laundry room. The first bedroom, on the bottom floor, is a Mini-Master with a queen bed (sleeps 2) and beautiful en-suite bathroom with a shower / tub combo. The second bedroom, on the bottom floor, is a bunkroom with 2 sets of full size bunks (sleeps 8) and another beautiful en-suite bathroom with a shower / tub combo. Expansive glass doors span the entire width of the bunkroom providing amazing gulf views and access to a sizeable deck with stairs to the beach. This room also has a drink fridge and a freestanding icemaker. It’s a fun hangout for children or young adults.

The laundry room is between the 2 bedrooms on the bottom floor and holds a large capacity washer and dryer.

Up the stairs, on the second floor, is the kitchen, living area, a half bath and stairs to the top (third) floor. Every area has been impeccably renovated and decorated. This area is very open and has amazing views of the gulf through the beautiful glass doors that span the entire width of the room. Out the doors is a very spacious deck with stairs to the beach. The large island and dining table hold a total of 14 guests so you can all enjoy your meals together. It’s also a great place to hang out with the family and play card / board games or to catch up after an amazing day on the beach. There are all new appliances (dishwasher, oven / stove combo, microwave and large fridge). The oven / stove combo is state of the art. The oven has convection and air fryer capabilities and the stove is an induction cooktop. If you have never boiled water on an induction cooktop you are in for a treat. The kitchen has new white shaker cabinets, a beautiful backsplash and quartzite countertops and is fully stocked with all you need to prepare and serve amazing meals. The living area is a great place to watch movies on a new large flat screen smart tv.

The top floor holds 2 additional bedrooms, the Master Bedroom and another Mini-Master. Both bedrooms have beautiful en-suite bathrooms and King beds. The Master has glass doors that span the entire width of the bedroom and lead to a large private gulf front balcony. You do not need to even go out to the balcony to enjoy the gulf views because you can see it all from the bed.

All beds and baths have luxury sheets, bath towels / wash clothes, hand towels, bedding. new mattresses, and full length mirrors. Everyone loves our mattresses. All bedrooms have new ceiling fans and new flat screen smart tv’s. We provide a starter amount of bathroom paper, paper towels, soap and shampoo. All bathrooms have blow dryers and makeup mirrors. An iron and ironing board is available on both the top and bottom floor.

There are 4 levels of balconies. The top (3rd floor) balcony is private and can only be accessed through the Master Bedroom, The second floor, first floor and beach level balconies are attached by stairs that go from the second floor to the first floor to the beach level. All balconies are spacious and furnished.

The beach level deck is very large and is a great place to grill out and enjoy meals outside. This townhouse originally had an enclosed spiral staircase going from deck to deck. We removed the spiral stairs and enclosure and have real deck stairs for easier access to the beach.

We also provide beach toys, additional beach chairs, gas grill, a pack-n-play, booster seat and 2 baby gates. We do not provide beach towels.

Parking is tight, as with all townhomes directly on the gulf. While there is technically parking for 4, 4 large SUVs / trucks will most likely not fit. There are other places you can park your vehicles nearby if parking is too tight.

If bringing pets, please make sure you add pets to your reservation. Not adding them can result in being asked to remove them.

Cancellation Policy:
Full refunds will only be given if we get a replacement reservation equal to or more than the total of the cancelled reservation. If we get a replacement reservation which is less than the cancelled reservation, we will only refund up to the total of the replacement reservation.

If the cancellation is more than 60 days from arrival or we do not get a replacement reservation, an advance deposit refund will be applied as follows:

Cancellation is more than 90 days of arrival date: Refund of advance deposit payment(s) less 1/3 of the total booking price.

Cancellation is more than 60 days of arrival date but less than 90 days of arrival date: Refund of advance deposit payment(s) less 1/2 of the total booking price.

There will be no advance deposit refund if the cancellation is less than 60 days of the arrival date unless we get a replacement reservation.

Failure to make a payment, when due, will result in immediate cancellation by the owner

It was PERFECT!!

We came down for Spring Break from Michigan. We had 2 families and wanted to be able to spread out—this rental was absolutely perfect! 2 primary bedrooms for adults on the upper level for privacy, a bedroom for our girls and the bunk room for the boys; all with their own bathrooms! The kitchen was stocked with the normal essentials/gadgets—all high end. There was more than enough room for the 8 of us to sit for meals.The rental itself is nicely decorated. It is obvious that the owners recently updated the place and that they also use it to vacation. All the decks are really nice! We hung out on all 3 levels and all had chairs to enjoy the view and watch the dolphins!The sand on the beach was baby powder soft! The unit is set up with “beach service” which includes 4 nice beach chairs and 2 umbrellas - which was awesome! The public beach is right down the beach, but we really didn’t have issues with many people walking down and setting up by us.The location is absolutely perfect! There is a store right across from our rental property that has rolled ice cream, açaí bowls, and more! As well as a souvenir shop and beach rentals, and very short walk to one of many Alvin’s island (similar to surf style/Ron John’s) and bad ass coffee. We had many restaurants within a 5-10 min drive and short drive North to Harborwalk Village or South to Baytown Wharf.Overall, this was an amazing trip! Can’t beat an amazing place on the beach!! We absolutely will stay again!

Wonderful Beach getaway

We had a fabulous trip! The beautiful house was just steps away from the beach. We had 3 couples staying and there was more than enough room for us. The owners have thought of everything one would need on a trip and have stocked it in the house. They were also very responsive to any questions we had. We would definitely stay there again!

Paradise

We loved everything about this Townhouse. Easy beach access and the two sets of beach chairs were much appreciative. The Blackstone was a nice touch as well. We soaked up the view and grilled out for dinner several nights. Every thing from grocery stores, restaurants, and fresh seafood from Skippers was less than 2 miles away.

Amazing Beachfront Retreat

The property is spectacular! The amenities, views, rooms, everything was perfect. With all the kids and some additional family members, we are 10 adults and two kids and the house accommodated us with ease. It’s spacious spaces provided flow and the ability to all be together without feeling cramped and all getting to enjoy the views of the ocean! Spectacular, spectacular, spectacular!

Amazing home with so many unadvertised upgrades

We had the best week at this VRBO, there are so many things that are not listed about this property. We have never stayed at a property with this quality of kitchen supplies, everything from the HexClad cookware, Cutco knives, there is a Blackstone, Ninja cooker, a deluxe Keurig and so much more not mentioned. There are so many sand toys and blow ups that we did not need to bring our own, but did and left some more behind. T he playpen for the baby was clean and in good working order. There are multiple baby gates as well. Did I mention the amount of local artist art work on the walls? Just beautiful! You are close to everything and we wanted for nothing. The private beach is not crowded at all and the chairs were up and waiting for us everyday. As mentioned, the parking is tight, we were able to get a fullsize SUV and a Jeep to fit pretty easily. We also had a 4 door pickup and just parked it less than a mile away at the RV park, they were super nice and it was a simple process. No complaints and we will definitely be back!

Wonderful Stay

We really enjoyed our time at Mark and Marty’s place. It was a very easy check-in process and the home was clean when we arrived. We flew in to Destin so we weren’t able to bring any beach chairs, toys, etc. but they have provided everything we needed as a group of 9, including beach toys and plenty of extra chairs. They also provide a lot of essentials in the house such as hair dryers and a very nice ice machine for filling a cooler, which was so appreciated! Parking is tight, but that’s very clearly stated before you book. We had a small SUV and a minivan and we parked side by side with vehicles in both units next to us, but a large SUV or truck would be a very tight squeeze and likely wouldn’t work. We had to pull up to the road to be able to get in with our vehicles. But again, it’s clearly stated that the parking is tight and it’s nothing that would keep us from renting the unit in the future. We would definitely stay here again next time we’re in Destin!

Wonderful beachfront townhouse

We recently stayed with our 2 adult children, spouse, and 2 dogs. What can I say...the townhouse was amazing! The owners have gone "all out" in making sure that you have everything you need to enjoy your stay. Well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, comfy deck chairs, and beach service provided. It was really nice to be able to step out from the porch to the beach and the views were amazing. Also ice maker on bottom level for coolers was a nice touch. I can't think of anything that we could have wanted that wasn't thought of! Great communication during booking and leading up to our stay. Townhouse was clean. Relatively quiet during our stay, which is nice. We would definitely stay here again. Only negative is the parking, and you are well warned in the description. We drove 2 large vehicles (Ford F250 PU Truck and Honda Pilot SUV) and it was a tight fit, so please head their warning. But as stated, they warn you about this numerous times, so this is nothing that should surprise anyone or cause concern, but please do take them seriously. Again, wonderful townhouse and we had a great week! Can't wait to return.

About the host

Hosted by Matty and Mark Fackler

Host profile image
We have owned vacation rental properties in Destin since 2010. It has always been our dream to own a larger property where we owned "the sand" to gather with our extended family and to share with others. Our dream came true in March of 2021. We are beyond excited to share Sand Dollar 2 with you and we hope you love our home away from home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Sand Dollar 2 checked many wish list items for us. We wanted to own a piece of the beach; "own the sand" and have a place large enough to accommodate our friends and family.. We also love taking sad / tired properties and turning them back into the gems they once were. This townhouse row was probably one of the most unappealing gulf front set of townhomes. It has been exciting to see many of the other owners revamping thier places as well. We also wanted to be in an area where we could walk, bike and golf cart around.

What makes this property unique

Not only is this townhome directly on the beach but we own the beach in front of our townhome, to the water line, so this is truly a private uncrowded beach. No getting up at 6am to fight for a spot on the beach. Every bedroom has it's own bathroom. Like a new build. We took this property to the studs and replaced everything. Well stocked kitchen. I know that may not seem very important but I have stayed in so many places where I could not find enough utensils to serve a meal and pots and pans that had seen better days.
