We had a great stay with our group of 20. Property management was quick to take care of us when needed which was just for changing batteries on the pool alarms and a mid-week pool cleaning. House is even closer to the beach than we thought.

Family vacation June 2023
The house was very nice and the kitchen well stocked for cooking, which we did a lot of. The pool was smaller than I thought it would be from the pictures but it was clean and we enjoyed it. Over all I would recommend. The living space was great for our family and the large table was great for meals and games. We really enjoyed the golf cart and that the walk to the beach was so close. Management company was the best!! Thanks for a great vacation!

About the host

Hosted by *Sugar Palm Rentals*

Host profile image
We know 'by owner' vacation rentals better than anyone, having been part of VRBO since its earliest days. These are high-end, very well maintained homes, not "just rentals".

We live in Destin and greet all our guests, so we have to be proud of these homes.

BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE!
We’re local and personally keep this home in top shape. It’s always clean, the linens will always be nice and everything is impeccably maintained. You don’t have to worry about finding a home that’s less than advertised. We’re going to greet you when you check-in and we will be here if you need us during your stay.

We know how difficult it is to find a vacation rental to suit your family’s needs, schedules and budget. We’re happy to assist you with the process of finding and booking the right place to stay for your vacation. We don’t leave you hanging—we do our best to get back to all email inquiries within an hour. We keep our calendars up-to-date and if this property is booked, we’ll see if another one of our properties may work for you.

Why they chose this property

All of Destin's beaches are just amazing, but the Crystal Beach community is lower-density than other areas in Destin - no high-rise condos. It feels more like a quaint neighborhood with its white picket fences and sidewalks rather than a loud, busy resort area.

What makes this property unique

Two-story carriage house, two king master suites, huge kitchen, high level of finish, larger than average private pool for Crystal Beach, almost right on the beach.
