Crystal Beach Vacation
The private pool was a hit with our kids! We rented a golf cart & went to the beach every morning (2 minute cart ride) then came back, rinsed off in the shower on the back patio, & got in the pool. Most relaxing vacation. Very convenient access to local grocery store & shops as well.

Family trip 2024
We loved the home and enjoyed the private pool. The house was clean and suited our family perfectly. The host was quick to respond when we needed her. Vicki was so kind and excited for us to enjoy the home.We have visited Destin yearly for the last 30 years and I have to say this was one of our best years. Thanks for a great stay!

Sundial Cottage stay June 8 - 15.
Great property, our group loved the peaceful neighborhood and super convenient location. The pool was a big hit. Our group consisted of older adults, most retired. We had a really great week in Destin and loved the Sundial Cottage. We plan to make this a yearly trip. Thanks

Sundial Cottage Retreat
My family and I spent a week here and it was great. The house was so clean and refreshing. It had absolutely everything we needed and more. We loved sitting on the front porch of the mornings and the pool was perfect after a day on the beach or shopping. We rented a golf cart but the entrance to the beach was just about a 5-7 minute walk. The location was perfect as we were close to everything we like to do and was able to ride the golf cart pretty much everywhere we went. I highly recommend this property and will stay again.

Wonderful Beach House
We had a lovely time at this beach house. The location was a short, enjoyable walk, through an adorable neighborhood to the beach. White picket fences, many with fragrant jasmine blooming profusely! It always felt safe and we also loved the proximity to stores and shopping. Having a pool in the backyard was a huge bonus, as some days the red flags at the beach keep you from swimming in the ocean. A really nice surprise was the outdoor shower with hot water-great for getting sand off toddlers and adults alike. Thanks for a great stay! We would definitely come back.

Pleasantly predictable
Second time for us at Sundial. If only all VRBO's could be this clean, and well maintained inside and out. Enjoyed walking our dog in the neighborhood and sitting on the front porch. Conveniently located to beach, grocery store, convenience store and restaurants. Gas grill allowed us to prepare the majority of our meals rather than go out. Speaks volumes of the comforts and amenities of the house.

Spring Break 2024
Everything was very clean when we arrived. Great location. The host was very responsive before and during our stay. Although it's popular in Destin to have a pool on the property unfortunately, it was too cold to use it. Fortunately, we only had 1 rainy day. We love Destin and we will be back again!

Beautiful dog friendly home walking distance to beach!
We had an amazing stay in this super cute dog friendly beach home! The neighborhood is absolutely adorable, very quiet and a short walk to the beach and restaurants. The home was very clean and perfectly accommodating. We loved the back patio and pool area. We just wish the weather would have cooperated more, so we could have used it. We will definitely be staying here again. Would highly recommend 10/10.

Awesome
The house was so nice, very clean and close to the beach and any restaurant or shopping you could imagine! The pool was so clean even though it was to chilly to use. The neighborhood was so quiet. The only thing I would add is more lighting conducive for reading. Lighting was rather low. Maybe a couple pole lights or lighter lamp shades. We would definitely stay here again!!!
