Perfect Beach Spot

The easiest place to stay! Check-in and Check-out were seamless. The location to the beach is truly a short 3 minute walk and the pool is even closer. The house does show some wear and tear but nothing significant. We would stay here again.

Nice Place

Sunny D was a great place to stay for a reasonably priced beach vacation. It is a short walk to the beach. Pool is a community pool and also a short walk. We would stay here again for sure. Areas that have room for improvement - the beach wagon needs new wheels or needs replaced. Could use an extra beach umbrella or two.

Me and my girls enjoyed the house for the weekend. We noticed that there was a drip in the shower and sand in some of the sheets but other than that, it was cleanly and we were able to check in early and set up for the other guests and we loved the location. The house was perfect and spacious for us all!

Great Location, Good size, Few Amenities, and Needs a Deep Cleaning

My family of 10 stayed at this property for our family vacation. I would rate this property a 3 due to the cleanliness and lack of amenities. The location was great, very close to the beach. There is a neighborhood pool, but it is very tiny. Most homes in the neighborhood have pools. The size was good, but the amenities were few. We did not have enough towels for our party of 10. There was some dirty linens on the beds. The sofa in the primary bedroom was gross. Brown stains and debris on the sofa and under cushion. Ceiling fans were dirty and had not been cleaned. The sofas on the main floor was also very dirty and had crumbs and debris that had not been cleaned up. All sofas in the home need cleaning. The primary bedroom mattress was very uncomfortable. We did not have a good nights sleep during our stay. There was not enough toilet paper and we had to buy toilet paper and hand soap on the first day. There was no hand soap in any of the bathrooms. The toilet paper in the home was not full rolls and did not have any supplies. The owner should consider the number and days that guests will be staying to ensure the basics amenities are adequate. There were beach chairs that came in handy, but there were no bikes or toys or games for teens. The wagon that could transport the chairs to the beach was broken and could not be used. This home does not offer a golf cart option. The owner acknowledged the cleanliness issues. I would not stay at this property again.

Everything we wanted and needed for a family vacay

Big, lovely, well appointed, house two blocks from the beach with shopping and restaurants nearby. The layout was so cool and worked great for our family with the kids and grandkids in the main house and the grandparents in the carriage house which was perfect for grabbing a quiet nap or getting ready in our own private suite.

BEST place in Destin. 5 stars. Will be back!!

Speechless…what an amazing property. Arguably the best vacation rental I’ve stayed at. Absolutely perfect. Had to leave our home due to Hurricane Ian and enjoy a few days elsewhere. Being a last minute reservation, I figured that all of the better homes were already booked, but I was wrong. Sunny D exceeded our expectations. Large home that is tastefully decorated, updated, and is obviously well-cared for. Bathrooms all appear to be newly remodeled and without expense spared. Everything was found to be immaculate and clean. Very close proximity to the beach and any store or type of restaurant we wanted meant no need to drive anywhere. Though, for the couple times where we ventured out and didn’t feel like walking, the bicycle’s were great to have. A bike ride down the beach taking in the views of the beach, sunset, and enjoying the fresh air made for a wonderful evening after stopping at a local restaurant for a delicious seafood dinner. Only time we drove was to and from the airport. Our guest contact, Justin, was an absolute pleasure and very responsive. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your lovely home. We will definitely be back! Brandon & Irina Punta Gorda, FL

Very nice house and close to the beach

We were a family of 7 adults and 1 2 yr old, and there's a lot of room. It felt like it could easily fit double the amount of people comfortably. Parking in the driveway could fit 3 cars. Beach was walking distance. Grocery was a few minutes drive. Wifi was very fast. There were some kind of flies in the kitchen when we got there but they stayed there in that area and also they were gone after just 1 day. No big deal. The kitchen was fully furnished though the knives need some sharpening. The grill was tankless gas, but only had 1/3 burner working. Some lights and ceiling fans weren't working but there were enough lights to illuminate everything and the central A/C unit was powerful enough to cool down the entire house quickly. This house has a tankless water heater so running out of hot water wasn't an issue at all. The shower outside is a nice touch. Overall, will book this house again.

Just right!

We enjoyed our stay at Sunny D! The house was just the right size for our family of 8 with a couple of beds to spare. The walk to the beach is no more than 5 minutes, and the community pool was great. The neighborhood is quiet with lovely homes. The home comes with 6 beach chairs and 2 wagons to transport them. There’s no umbrella and renting one with 2 chairs is $50/day regardless of weather conditions. Consider bringing your own. We would stay at Sunny D again!

Exceeded Expectations

Our time in Destin exceeded all expectations and having a beautiful home like this was the main reason why. The owners shared their beautiful home with us and you can feel the love. There are plenty of beds to sleep in, places to read a good book, wonderful kitchen to cook in and all within a very short walk to the beach. Our family made memories here and are looking forward to coming back to make more. Everything one needs for a great vacation away. The owners are responsive and great to work with. With many Blessings and gratitude.

Easy walk to beach!

Very accommodating house with good sleeping space for everyone. There is a nice deck area between the house and the bedroom in the garage space that was great for pulling in a wagon or cart to wash off the sand as well as an outdoor shower. Best of all it was a short and easy walk to the beach.

Great Property!

Nice neighborhood, 5 minutes casual walk to the beach. Loved the rooms. Be aware of the driveway situation though......we had 1 big truck and 2 suvs and good thing we didn't bring another vehicle, wouldn't have fit in the driveway. The garage doesn't really fit anything.

Beautiful Home

The amount of space in this home was exactly what we were looking for. 3 families shared this listing and there was plenty of seating and beds to sleep in. There are several places to eat within walking distance as well as the beach. The home offers 2 wagons to assist with taking everything you need for a day at the beach. The owner was friendly and accessible to ensure a wonderful stay. This listing will remain on my list of places to return.

Very satisfied-no hassle renting

We had a small family gathering so we had rented two houses, this one and another one Right on the beach. so we didn’t spend a whole lot of time in this house,but the time that we were there, nothing was needed. This house comes with everything you’ll ever need to make the most out of your vacation. Very satisfied, thank you!

For the price of this property, you would think the lawn would at least have been mowed. There is not enough parking at the property. The house says it sleeps 14, so there should be appropriate parking. It is listed as a 5 bedroom, but technically it is only 4. The 3rd floor loft is very small and the a/c unit could not keep it cool enough. Only enough room for the bed. There are several repairs that need to be updated. There was a leak in the 2nd floor shower that was leaking in the dining room. The door in the first floor bathroom came off the hinges. All in all we did have a great vacation, but we will be looking for a home with better parking and accurate sleeping for our next vacation. The property manager was easy to get in touch with and responded immediately.
