Great House!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great experience at On the Sand. The house was clean and comfortable. Beach access was fantastic. You do share beach access steps with your attached neighbor which wasn't any issue for us. Someone stayed across from us, and we never heard them at all so walls must be well built. The beach in this area is not as crowded as many parts of 30A. 2 upstairs bedrooms have great views. The house had dual fridges in the kitchen which was helpful for all our drinks and cold stuff. Only thing missing is an icemaker. I would definitely stay here again.

Spring Break with the Family

Perfect place for our group of 10 with 4 kids under 10 plus 6 adults. It is right on the Gulf. Definitely hit our favorite restaurants (Red Bar and Hurricane Oyster Bar) that were an easy walk away. Rented chairs from beach chairs 4U. Did a dolphin tour in Destin. Great time in a nice home. Comfy beds.

Fabulous Girls Trip

We stayed in both sides of the duplex for a college girls trip reunion and couldn't have enjoyed the location or homes more. The beach is very wide and private and the home is well equipped and beautifully decorated. We loved the location near Grayton Beach.

Perfect location and beautiful beach

Great location and beautiful views. Well appointed kitchen, clean house and great communication with property management. The beach has been privatized so we did struggle a little with beach services, there is an exclusive chair company (that did a great job) but had to figure out SUP boards and kayaks differently than we have in the past.

Week with the family

This was a fantastic place. We rented both East and west sides of the house the whole house we enjoyed ourselves immensely, and Rebecca with the Properties management company was one of the best girls we had ever dealt with. We want to thank them and also want to thank all the restaurants for feeding us so well such great seafood we had a great week.

Perfect Beachfront Getaway!

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful beachfront home! The location was absolutely perfect—just steps from the beach and the lagoon.The house itself was ideal for our group of eight. There were plenty of beds and bathrooms, so everyone had their own space and felt completely comfortable. One of the highlights for us was the kitchen—it was fully outfitted with everything we needed to cook and enjoy meals together. You can tell the owners really thought of everything.The decor was elegant and minimalist, creating a calm, relaxing atmosphere without any clutter. It felt like a true retreat. The hosts were incredibly responsive and informative, making check-in easy and keeping aware of anything pertinent that happened during our stay.We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality beach vacation with all the comforts of home!

Literally on the beach

Great location, close to all our favorite restaurants, clean well stocked appliances and kitchen supplies. Bathrooms were big and spacious. Beautifully decorated. Only criticism would be lower level bedroom was basically a cot looking bed and super small with shared lower level bathroom for guest. Upper bedroom’s were superb with beautiful views. We were very comfortable with 4 couples and if the other couple had come one would be disappointed with sleeping arrangements. Definitely would recommend and book again.

The only thing that could use a bit of work is basic maintenance - doors hard to open, bathroom cabinet door hanging off, blind slats falling off.

My Vacation Was Ruined by Pet Hair.

My great-grandson suffers with allergies. The family room rug was covered with pet hair. We suffered with him for the entire stay. We are not pet owners therefore, the pet hair was there when we got there. I was upset. We all got covered in the hair.

Another good experience with this listing (with one complaint)

We love this property and have stayed here a number of times over the years. In our opinion, the houses right on the beach in the Gulf Trace neighborhood are the best in the area in terms of having beach-front access without the overcrowding associated with Seaside, Rosemary Beach, etc. We had a great stay here again this year, but have one complaint. The upstairs A/C unit went out mid-week, and although the management company was very responsive, it took the better part of 3 days to get the issue resolved and we all had to sleep in pretty uncomfortable conditions at night.
