Great house for a large group.
Property is nice but Destin has become too crowded for us. No direct beach access is a bummer and the HOA rules are to much.

Perfect for our big family!
We booked sugar Shack for our extended family to celebrate a big anniversary. The layout was perfect. Enough seating for everyone at the table and in the living room. The game room was perfect for the older kids. The small stash of beach items was useful and we added to it. We would absolutely stay there again.

Wonderful Week!
We had a fabulous time at the sugar shack! Loved the cute bag and everything was just perfect for our family and a couple of friends to get away before school started. It was super hot at the beach, but we were able to sit close to the water and the breeze kept us comfortable. The house is really pretty decorated in nice colors. The kids loved the golf cart and the bikes and the adults loves it. There was a separate playroom to send them to.

Great Girls Trip
Enjoyed some fabulous time in Destin with high school friends. We ate out at so many wonderful restaurants, took a trip to Crab Island and enjoyed the beautiful white sandy beaches. House was adorably decorated and had everything we needed. Seven ladies each had their own rooms and we never even made it to the game room. Would stay again!

Great stay in Destin
The house was perfect for our family with many young infants, toddlers and children. We were close to the beach, pool and tennis courts. Many restaurants were close by for evening take out too. We loved that so many bedrooms had king beds for the adults along with the bunk beds where needed. Amy was quick to respond when we had questions. Overall a great time in Destin!

House was nice, big with a lot of space. Liked the game room for the kids. Nice decor, needs a deep cleaning. Needs more kitchen towels. Nice walk to beach and pool. Pool was very warm, needs a cooling system. Ocean was beautiful.

Good for a large family or multiple families.
Destiny East was a nice gated community. There were several amenities, our favorite being the pickleball courts. There is also a large pool with plenty of seating, it never felt crowded. Having the golf cart to get to and from the beach and pool area was fabulous! For the house specifically we loved the large living and dining room. There was plenty of room for all of us. All of the bedrooms were large and had plenty of closet/storage space for our things. The mattresses were not the most comfortable in a couple of the rooms. When you laid down you rolled to the middle of the bed. The bathrooms in 2 of the upstairs bedrooms were nice size, the hall bathroom though was pretty small for 2 bedrooms to share. One area that we feel could definitely be improved in is cleanliness. The rugs in the bathrooms and kitchen all looked dirty and like they had not been washed. The silverware and other drawers could use a good cleaning as well. We left both of these suggestions on the board in the laundry room. The game room was great for our group! It was one of the main things that caught my eye when I booked the house and it did not disappoint. The property manager was FABULOUS to work with!! We had 2-3 issues of things needing fixed while there and she was always quick to respond and help us out. Just FYI regarding beach access… we could never find a private beach area for East and had to use the public access which filled up with tents quickly on front!

Family time
There are numerous positive aspects to this property. Being a larger home, that allows larger groups, can be a challenge to maintain properly First impression at door was lacking. Door frame is extremely dirty, quick coat of paint would work wonders. Clean throw rugs in bathrooms and doorway/kitchen area would be very beneficial. We had to deal with numerous maintenance issues - electrical outlets upstairs bathrooms, tire on golf cart, loss of electricity in carriage house. The management was always quick to respond to our issues. People that came to address these issues were very professional and friendly. In conversations with them it was evident by what they stated that these weren’t new issues (golf cart tire and electricity on upstairs bathrooms) Our family we’re very comfortable, number of bathrooms/bedrooms really met our needs. Definitely overkill on fines pertaining to guidelines of HOA. We haven’t even moved our things into the house and someone came by and warned us about a $100 fine pertaining to a trash can left at street. We had nothing to do with it!! Golf cart and bikes are a wonderful amenity

A time for my wife & I to host our 5 children, their spouses and our grandchildren. The game room, community pool, tennis courts and 6 passenger golf cart were very useful. Everything about our stay was exceptional. Wonderful 7 days with just family. Great food, rest and down time on Destin’s beautiful beaches.

Amazing stay!
We had a large group of extended family, and the house was perfect for us! The location was walkable from the beach, but having the golf cart to carry all the kids’ beach gear was a huge plus! The host was very quick to answer our questions and provide assistance when needed. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Great time
We had a wonderful time. The location was great because there was a golf cart to get to the beach. I think without the golf cart it would have been a lot harder to get all the items to the beach. The house was good. Plenty of room for everyone. Would have liked a better area for cleaning off when getting home from the beach. Great stay.

family fun
We had the BEST week at this house. We had 3 families total with kids ranging from 4-13 and we didn't even use 2 of the bedrooms. The kids loved the game room on the days the weather didn't cooperate. The golf cart and bikes were such a great amenity for our group and the location of the house was perfect. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone and would love to stay again.

We haven't all been together in a long time and everyone really liked this house. Everything was new and clean. The kids loved biking in the neighborhood and we swam at the pool two doors down. We didn't know about the bigger pool until our last day. Great house and location!

Lovely Stay in Destin
We enjoyed staying at this property with our extended family for a long weekend. Lots to do for the kids in the game room and we liked having the extra apartment for our extended family. We walked the sidewalks to dinner, enjoyed the pool and of course made memories across the street at the beach each day. Fabulous trip, house and location.
