The house and pool were nice. The beds were very comfortable. Having the golf cart was fun. The two couches in the living room were trash. Any time we texted a concern someone got right back to us. I would stay there again if the living room furniture was replaced

Wonderful location. Although the house was in a close neighborhood the shrubs made it feel more private. Just minutes to walk across to the beach. My family loved the house and pool.

Family Vacation
Sun Kiss’d was absolutely perfect for our crew. We had 17 adults and 3 infants. The house was beautiful and stocked with everything we needed for the week. The golf cart was handy but we did rent an additional one for our large number. Loved having a pool right outside our back door. So many great memories. Would definitely comeback in the future!

We couldn’t have been happier with the property. It was clean and welcoming. We had a few issues with the codes to get in to the gate/home but the staff quickly responded and got it figured out.

Location great area great felt safe in this community. House big enough for multiple families. Kitchen supplies ample. Beds comfortable responded quickly to requests . Pool nice size and extremely nice to have golf cart. Only suggestion would be to maybe replace washer extremely noisy and possibly new mattress in upstairs single bunk beds- only bed that wasn’t comfortable

Amazing Week
This was our second stay at this property and we thoroughly enjoyed it. This is an ideal property for multiple generations with two bedrooms on the first level. The property was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials. The children loved the pool, the quick access to the community pool and of course the beach! The property has been updated since last year with new chairs in the family room and the ice maker in the kitchen. The children loved the ice maker! We have already booked this property again for next year!

Our family really enjoyed our stay. The house was spacious and fit our three generations. It was beneficial to have a couple of bedrooms on the first floor. The kitchen was well equipped and very clean. The children loved the pool and proximity to the beach. This house is perfect for a large family. Thank you for sharing it with us!

THE BEST place to stay in the Destin area!
This was the fourth time we've stayed in one of these properties, and they are hands down my favorite place to stay in the Destin area. The homes are large enough to accommodate multiple families and still allow for privacy. The kids love the bunk beds, and the bonus room upstairs is great for our family. Walking right out the back door to the pool is wonderful, and we enjoy taking the golf cart right across the street to the beach. The owners are very friendly and personable.

Fantastic vacation home!
Our family of 8 adults and 7 children ages 10 months to 13 years had an amazing reunion. The home was exactly as described. Enjoyed the security of a gated community and just a short walk/golf cart ride to the beach. Owner quickly responded to any questions we had. Definitely will be back.
