  My family and I really enjoyed our stay. It was a clean well maintained home. We all felt very comfortable and safe there. There was restaurants and attractions within walking distance or just a few miles ride. The owner is a wonderful person and was available by e-mail to answer all my questions in advance. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting a stress free vacation.

  We had the best vacation!! The owner was very nice and considerate! She really went out of her way to make our vacation happen!! We booked last minute and she was extremely helpful!! We will always be greatful to her!! We rented the whole unit. We had Mother-in law, my son,his wife, thier 2 children,my daughter and her daughter,and myself and my husband. We had plenty of room!! The children enjoyed the toys and various games for renters use!! We had everything we needed for a great time!! We used the baby gates and highchair. I highly recommend this rental if you would love to be right on the beach and bring all your family!! Words cant explain how beautiful it is!!!I can't wait til spring I will be renting this again!!!

  From the beginning stages of planning to our fun-WOW week trip, the owner Linda has been a great asset for questions, provisions in the townhouse, supplies, fully equipped kitchen, 4 bedrooms and the best part WE WERE RIGHT ON THE BEACH!! We walked out of our unit directly to the beach. The nieghbors were friendly and the kidos loved to play together on the beach or deck and we even saw the dolphins play. We had all ages: 3 months to senior citizen------------Linda place provided for all of us. The place was clean, well-stocked, and very roomy for all 3 families (just like in the pictures). We cooked most meals in and explored local restaurants a couple times for fresh fish. The location is convenient for grocery stores, gas stations, drug store and restaurants. Our goal was to find a location so we could be close to the beach (with 5 children 6 and under) and to have a place that would house all 11 of us------------this is the perfect place. My vote is to come back next year and make it a "family tradition".

  My family (4 kids, 4 grandkids, and my sister) and I really enjoyed our stay here! It was clean and well stocked with everything (just like home), including bath wash in all the bathrooms. Just bring your own beach towel and you will enjoy! There are 3 floors with 3 balconies and I had to try all 3. The views are magnificent and amazing! I loved having my morning coffee off the living room balcony. I really enjoyed grilling hotdogs/hamburgers a couple of nights with the kids while watching the ocean waves. Soooo relaxing!! At night, it was great sitting on balcony reading my nook, star gazing and listening to the ocean. Heaven!! Their are 2 bedrooms on the bottom level with a little kitchenette (sink, fridge, mircowave, coffee maker) which was really handy for drinks or snacks for those downstairs. Linda was great to deal with and was easy to reach if we had any questions. Her welcoming notes made me feel truly welcome when I first walked in. We discovered a great restaurant, Pompano Joe's, within walking distance, about a block or so. The food was great, there are out side decks with live music (relaxing), and you can just throw something on over your swimsuit or dress up, whatever you prefer. Another favorite of mine and my family is Mcguires at the other end of Hwy 98 toward Destin Harbor. They have daily lunch specials for about $6.79 and their food is awesom with large portions for feeding a large bunch. The nachos alone will feed up to 6 people for $10.00! It's rated the 2nd best place to eat in Destin. AJ's is another favorite. They have outside dining with a view of the harbor and fishing boats and the food is great. My sister and I tried our hand at deep sea fishing and had a really great time. The kids went para sailing. My favorite times were those when we were all on the beach though! My youngest grandson had a blast (he's 3 yrs old) looking for seashells and little fish to put in his sand bucket. The older kids loved playing frisbee in the sand. I can't express how wonderful it was to have my family there and to see the wonderful time they were having. It was such a blessing! One day, me and my grand daughter got up early and walked out to the ocean and she said, " Nana, it's so beautiful here, I keep thinking I'm dreaming, but I'm not." And she was right, it was like a dream, a beautiful dream that you wake up from with wonderful, happy memories. I thank you Linda for helping to make this a dream vacation! God Bless!

  Owner response: Thank you so much Mary for this wonderful review. It is want I strife for and makes my heart sing!!! We have a family of 3 daughters and 7 grandkids and I try to make the unit wonderful for all. Also, I bring girlfriends down for relaxing and enjoy and try to make it wonderful for that kind of group as well. Hope you will come back next year. Linda

  If you are looking for a top notch place to stay in Destin that is family friendly, right on the beach and a great deal, LOOK NO FURTHER! This townhouse was a place of pure relaxation! It begins with very nice furniture, an air condtioning system that works wonderfully and keeps everyone (on all three levels) cool and EVERYTHING you need for the beach. Linda went above and beyond making our vacation exceptional. Our bedroom, the master, was beautiful and the matress was just like home. The decks are super nice and very inviting for sunset and dolphin watching. The kitchen has everything you could need and we cooked almost all of our meals for our entire family of 8. The dining table was perfect along with the bar and stools. We could all sit together and eat and talk. Beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, movies, puzzels and games were all waiting for us if needed. I would HIGHLY recommend this townhouse for the perfect vacation on the white sands of Destin. Thank you Linda for making our vacataion the best ever!!!!!

  What a wonderful place. This was perfect for a couple with teenagers. Each of my kids brought friends and they could stay up late and watch tv downstairs and not bother us upstairs. Love, Love, Love the layout of this townhouse. So much better than a condo. Parking was a bit of an issue, but we figured it out. A solution may be to have better lines dividing parking for each complex and mark them. Very clean and comfortable. Beds were comfortable as was the furniture. Loved being right on the beach. Really can't say enough great things about this place.

  Whenever we stay in Destin, we always stay at the Sanddollar. In fact, we wont stay anywhere else!! We plan our trips around Their availability, not the other way around. My husband and I have stayed there with our dog many times and obviously we LOVE IT. The beach is private, so it's not crowded-I love that. Since we do think so highly of the townhome, we decided to share our secret getaway with my husband's family. We had a little family reunion there for Memorial Day-actually the whole week before. All the relatives kept raving about the amenities and the price. It made me smile that everyone loved our secret place. We had ages ranging from 1 yr to 65 yrs old and it was perfect for everyone! Not to mention Pet Friendly- a must for us!! There was enough room for everyone without feeling like you are in someones way. When we wanted privacy, we went to our sleeping quarters. We had the bottom floor to ourselves w/ full bath and nicely furnished kitchenette. They couldnt believe we were Right on the beach and didn't pay an arm and a leg. They mostly enjoyed the beach, whereas being a photographer, I enjoyed taking in the beauty and relaxing on the deck. It was so great because all you have to do is turn your head to the left for beautiful sunrises, then look to the right for breathtaking sunsets. Its located in the perfect place. Not many people can say they can see the sunrise & sunset from the exact same location. Besides relaxing,swimming,cook-outs and taking photos, we left there with such special family memories that will last a lifetime!! Thank you Linda! Truly, Lisa

  Family of 10 had comfy beds to rest in after long days on the beach. Decks were great on each level so everyone got up on their own schedule. We recommend - early to see the dolphins. Furnishings were tastefully done. Plenty of linens, but be sure and bring your own beach towels. Neighbors were friendly on each side of the condo. Don't plan to get down to the beach if you can't negotiate a steep spiral staircase. The washer and dryer were a true blessing. We had a few surprises and the owner was most responsive in getting the maid and maintenance services to take care of them within 24 hours. Local restaurants (Pompano Joes and Crab Trap) were really very good and not too crowded. The drug store and grocery store were very close, so don't worry about forgetting anything. All in all, we would stay here again.

  Owner response: A portion of the back steps is spiral, but not the medal kind that you may think of. They are heavy wooden step, no steeper than normal. There are hand rails and also hand grips and also we have that fuzzy tape on the edge of the steps to avoid slips.
