SolMate-HotTub-FreeGolfCart n Bikes-6minWalk2Beach
Summary:
Welcome to SolMate!
"Awesome place to stay. Close to anything you'd want to do, and just a short walk/golf cart drive to the beach. Great communication and very friendly host! I will stay again." – Matthew, ‘23
Hi there! We're My Destin Beach Vacation, and we're thrilled to offer you a stay at SolMate, our cherished beach retreat. You'll fall in love with this property for its unique split layout, the neighborhood vibes, our FREE 6 passenger golf cart & Bikes, and its closeness to the beach!
The Space:
The Heart of SolMate:
Our home is a delightful blend of a three-bedroom main house and a quaint two-bedroom carriage house, united by a large paved patio and our perfect saltwater pool (with optional heating). It's an ideal setup for any group dynamic looking for a serene escape to the sugar white sands of the Emerald Coast!
• Complimentary six passenger golf cart!
• Included bikes to cruise around on.
• Two Homes in One: Perfect for Privacy and Togetherness
• Beach Town Vibes: A Short Walk to the Beach
• Pool and Outdoor Fun: Included Hot Tub, Saltwater Pool (optionally heated, inquire for pricing), Putt-Putt Green, Ping Pong, and an outdoor kitchen with a natural gas Weber grill
"The complimentary use of a golf cart made getting around easy. Lastly, the heated pool made for memorable times at the beach house. We would absolutely return to Sol-Mate." - John
Your Home Away from Home:
Bedroom & Bathroom Layout:
Main Home:
Bedroom 1, King bedroom with en-suite bathroom
Bedroom 2, King Bedroom
Bedroom 3, Two twin bunk beds
Hallway bathroom down the hall from Bedroom 2 & 3
Living Area, Two Queen sleeper sofas
Carriage Home:
Bedroom 4, Two twin bunk beds
Bedroom 5, King Bedroom
Hallway Bathroom nestled in the center of the carriage home, shared by both rooms.
Step inside, and you'll feel the warmth of our farmhouse/country-themed interiors, blending seamlessly with the laid-back beach town atmosphere outside. Our place is all about cozy southern living – imagine relaxing on our charming front porch, away from the hustle but so close to the beach. Enjoy a rivaling game of foosball in the living room for the kids, or rocking away with your beverage of choice on the front porch.
• Outdoor Space: A Cozy Front Porch and Colorful Surroundings
• Nearby Attractions: Crab Island, The Track, Big Kahunas, Harborwalk Village, Destin Commons, Silver Sands Outlets
"This location has plenty of room even for large families or groups and has plenty of amenities as well. The beach is easily within walking distance and there are many restaurants nearby." – Jordan
Local Recommendations Just for You:
As locals, we have our favorites, and we'd love for you to experience them too! For the best coffee dubbed by locals, head to East Pass Coffee. If it's cocktails you're after, Craft Bar is the place, and for a delightful brunch, don't miss McGuire's or Another Broken Egg. And our recommendations go well beyond these examples. Think of us as your personal guides to the best of Destin, always ready to share insider tips and hidden treasures of the area.
"I will return to this home because the host very clearly wants you to enjoy your stay. That’s a good feeling that is hard to fake!" -Robert
Book Your Stay at SolMate:
Come and experience SolMate, where the beach is just a moment away, and every corner of our home invites you to unwind and enjoy. Whether it's a family vacation, a group celebration, or just a break from the every day, SolMate is ready to welcome you.
"Our family of 14 absolutely loved our stay. We had toddlers, teens, and adults. Everything was just as described in the listing." – Kim
We can't wait to host you and share the magic of SolMate. Book now and discover your own slice of paradise! - My Destin Beach Vacation
The Neighborhood:
This beautiful beach house is a short two blocks from public beach access, as well as an equal distance to the heart of Destin where you can find plenty of entertainment, food, and shopping. This is in Crystal Beach, Destin voted the most beautiful beach in North America 4 years in a row.
Getting Around:
You will be super close driving distance to anything you have planned or desire to do during your stay. We typically recommend taking an Uber as they are very popular in the area and always less expensive that a normal taxi. You can definitely take a short walk to the beach, and it is almost always easier than driving around looking for parking!
Other Things to Note:
• SolMate is pet friendly! Just pay the $200 pet fee before check-in and you can bring up to 2 dogs.
• Golf cart is not available for use for those 25 years or younger. Valid Insurance & Drivers License are required
• Please give us a 24-hour notice for pool heating so we can get it just right prior to your arrival.
• Check-in: After 4:00 PM
• Checkout: 10:00 AM
• Self check-in with keypad
Interaction with Guests:
We are available to assist you before and during your stay. Please take a moment to review our listing in full, as it includes important details about your stay, including the location and amenities. For the most efficient support, we kindly ask that you message us directly through the booking platform.
Our team is available during standard business hours. Messages sent late at night may be addressed the following morning, but we'll respond as soon as possible!

About the host
Hosted by Matthew & Sarah Reich
Matthew and Sarah Reich (est. 2014)
Sarah and I met in Destin, we were both drawn to the southern charm, excellent night life, and of course the most beautiful beaches we'd ever seen. We met at work (both in banking at the time) and became friends, and you know the story :). We have one little one, Madison, our pride and joy, and of course our 2 four-legged family members. We still live and work in Destin, and love every minute of it here! We purchased our first vacation rental in Destin after a few years of managing other properties and love doing it! They say do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life, that's us living and managing our properties in Destin!

Why they chose this property
Sol Mate was always one of the most beautiful houses in crystal beach, it represented a perfect beach-house with enough space to fit a large family (including extended family) comfortably. It has a ton of outdoor pool-side space and a large heated pool with a large outdoor grill, it's a great space for hosting, cooking out pool-side or enjoying the seclusion! In short, this home has that perfect beach feel - and that's coming from a true local.
