Great for a family of 10!
Kathy was exceptionally easy to communicate with. She took the time to answer all of our questions. The home was very clean and stocked with all the things we needed to cook the 4 meals we prepared. For those planning to cook, I travel with our crockpot and this was the first condo in 20 years of us coming to the beach that had a crockpot! They also had beach toys, a playpen, a baby gate, and a booster seat that we great as we traveled with a baby). There is a 3 minute walk to the beach which was great. There was no problem crossing the road with the little kids. I would recommend staying here again.

Family Vacation 2023
My family and I enjoyed our stay on Cottage Row. The house was clean and true to the pictures online. The small community is clean, quiet, and close to several restaurants. The beautiful, white sand of the Gulf is a short two minute walk across the street. The community pool is well maintained and we enjoyed meeting folks from all over the US. This was our second time staying in the area and will definitely stay here again.

Great location for a girls getaway
My friends and I had a reunion in Miramar Beach, and this we the perfect house for the 7 of us. There were plenty of beds and bathrooms, and the kitchen met our needs for breakfasts and lunches. The location was great for walking or driving a short distance to some local restaurants for dinner, and the beach service was a nice bonus. I would totally stay there again.

Our family enjoyed the neighborhood feel to the community. It was quiet and secure. The house provided us plenty of space and bathrooms. It was helpful to have the foyer downstairs to unload from a day at the beach. The pool was a nice addition to activities.

Perfect Location
We enjoyed our stay in this rental! The location is perfect and Kathy was very helpful! We were very disappointed that the community hot tub was not working for half of our stay, but we loved the community pool. Also, just wanted to mention that the master shower really needs a good cleaning.

Nice House, Great Property Owner
The entire process of renting this home was easy and flawless. I had a few questions I wanted to check on before booking and received answers to my questions very quickly. Everything was as described. The home was nice. Short walk to the pool and a small walk to the beach. Loved the fact that two chairs and an umbrella were included in our rental. The water in Destin was amazing! The property owner, Kathy, was great to work with. She left suggestions on where to eat and things to do. Trust her list. Ha! We ate at a few of the places and they were great suggestions. Happy with our stay.

Beds, Baths, Balcony and Beyond!
The king sized beds were very comfortable and the other beds worked out well for our teenagers/young adults. We enjoyed the jet tub in the master bathroom which is upstairs off the living area. The balcony, also off the upstairs living area, was a welcomed area for coffee in the mornings and naps in the afternoon. The weather was touch and go and the house made for a safe, comfortable, and accommodating vacay spot! With a short walk out of the gated community, to the chairs and umbrellas set up for us at the beach, The Sun Kissed Cottage made for some great memories we will always cherish!
