We have vacationed at Slice of Heaven numerous times and always look forward to coming back. The very short walk to the beach is a plus. Feel good about selecting Slice of Heaven for your vacation.
The property was beautiful and had everything we needed for the week! Kitchen was well stocked so that we could make meals at home when we didn’t want to eat out. We loved the fact it was just a short walk to the amazing white sand beach with crystal clear water! The location was also close to shopping, which made it nice for my oldest to walk to if he didn’t want to hangout with his parents at the beach. We definitely plan to return in the future!

My family has been return vacationers to Destin and Slice of Heaven. It is such a wonderful home away from home. Very close to the beach in a wonderful neighborhood. We will be back!

Thank you for returning and so happy you enjoyed your stay again!
Wonderful! We were in the area for a wedding and this house was perfect for our stay. Great location in a quiet neighborhood. Short walk to beach and also close to shopping and restaurants. The owner sent detailed information about the house and area before our trip, which was very helpful. Highly recommend!

The home is beautiful and very conveniently located to the beach, pool and gorceries. All the beds were very comfortable making every night truly restfull. We made all of our own meals in the gorgeous kitchen. We just had such a great week.

So glad you had a wonderful week. We look forward to hosting you again.
We absolutely loved our stay. Rebecca was incredibly helpful and kind, which made us feel right at home. The neighborhood is very nice and has a pool, however we spent most of our time at the beach (which is less than a block away). The location is perfect. There’s a Whole Foods, Publix, outdoor shopping mall, Bass Pro and plenty of places to eat within a mile. My family loved this vacation and we would definitely like to stay at A Slice of Heaven again.

My family and I spent a week at Slice of Heaven and it was amazing. The house is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed to get us started on our vacation. We loved how close it was to the beach and how comfortable just staying in was. Any problems we had Rebecca was quick to respond and get the issue fixed. I definitely recommend staying at this beautiful home. The neighborhood is wonderful, and peaceful.

Thank you for staying with us and so happy you enjoyed the house and made some wonderful family memories!
My family is repeat renters at Slice of Heaven because we feel at home with the rental process and the comfort of the house. The proximity to the beach is basically a couple minutes until your feet touch the sand. The neighborhood is charming. The amenities in the house make it feel like home. We will continue to be return renters at Slice of Heaven for said above.

Thank you for coming back and happy you continue to enjoy our home!
An apt name for the house. Very comfortable, clean, and a well stocked kitchen with plenty of utensils and dish ware. Our whole family enjoyed the space. Each bedroom has access to the outside deck. The neighborhood is quiet. The walk to beach access is five minutes away. Stores and restaurants are a short car ride away. Hosts left plenty of information for local spots to visit. The pool is a three minute walk away, and most times we had it to ourselves.

I’m so glad that you enjoyed the stay and the convenience of Slice of Heaven. We look forward to having you back again.
Rebecca is amazing at communication! Her home is well appointed and comfortable. The neighborhood association is a bit intimidating but she lays out the rules up front so follow them! The only small issues we had were with the cleaning crew (one bed was left not clean and there was 1/4 roll of toilet paper total and no trash bags in any can except the kitchen) but Rebecca offered to resolve with a quickness. Location is excellent!

Thank you for letting us fix any issues and so happy you enjoyed the home!
We decided to take a 14 hour drive to Destin to stay at this lovely home and spend time as a family, away from crowds and in our own space. We enjoyed everything about the home. It was beautiful, the kitchen was perfect & well appointed. We were able to do our own laundry, and even though it was just the three of us, make use of most of the space in the home.
The host was lovely, easy to reach, kept in touch and even appointed the home with a pack and play for our son.
We hope to be able to come back in the not too distant future! Thank you so much! Wonderful family memories made.

We hope you return to make more wonderful family memories. Thank you for staying with us.
House location was great, just a short easy walk to the beach and a grocery store was a short drive without having to deal with Hwy 98 traffic. The owner was friendly and communication was easy. Unfortunately we were only there 2 days - damn Hurricane Sally. All three beds seemed different, but can only truly say that the king upstairs is really firm. Downstairs living room was comfy. I believe the owner said she has plans to update the kitchen soon, but it was cute and functional and stocked with basics. If you are a big cook, you may need to bring specialty items. overall would definitely recommend.

Thank you for staying with us and very sorry the vacation was cut short. We just refinished the kitchen and hope you are able to come back and see it!
The house was as advertised. Communication with Rebecca was easy. It was actually closer to the beach than it looks on the map, which is a plus.
Everything you need is less than a mile away.
Our only negative had nothing to do with the owners or house but the HOA. They threatened to ticket us for being 2 inches past the fence line. It's a quiet neighborhood and it appears that the full time residents have nothing better to do but watch Renters. We'll be back to Destin soon.

Thank you for your review and for staying with us at Slice of Heaven. Yes, both HOA and the city of Dustin are strict about keeping the sidewalks clear of cars. I’m glad you enjoyed your time at the house and the beach, but especially making wonderful memories with your family.
We loved every minute of our time here. We will most definitely turn. The walk to the beach was super simple. Liked that it was so easy to get to beach but yet away from the huge crowds and traffic. The best of all worlds.
Not only was the house perfect, the proximity to the beach was outstanding! My family was displaced by hurricane Ida and the owners/managers could not have been more accommodating. Will absolutely make this our regular beach spot in the future.
This home was perfect for our family of three. The house had everything we needed, was close to the beach, most importantly the beds were super comfortable. Also, the owner is wonderful, checking in with us to ensure we had everything we needed.
Like others before us, we cannot wait to return for another visit in the future.
We had a wonderful vacation at Crystal Beach. Good distance from beach in a perfect neighborhood for families. Check in was easy and the owners had plenty of information to help us with the house.

Why they chose this property
We started coming to Destin many years ago. It has become such a special place for our family filled with so many amazing memories. Every time we went it was a “slice of heaven.” This summer we decided to have a permanent place to go to and continue to make memories with our children and hopefully with our grandchildren. We want to share this home for others to make memories and enjoy this "Slice of Heaven."
What makes this property unique
Crystal Shores is such a quaint, family friendly neighborhood that is literally across the street from Crystal Beach. Our home has wrap around porches on each story that are perfect in the morning with a cup of coffee or in the evening with a glass of wine. Each bedroom has direct access to the porches. The house also has wood flooring with plantation shutters for both privacy and to keep the bedrooms dark in the morning sunlight. We also have a beautiful patio area where friends and family can gather together. When going to the beach there is a beach wagon and beach chairs, umbrella, etc. for your use. When checking in you will also be given basic amenities such as dish soap, dish washer pods, laundry soap, soap, toilet paper, paper towels, coffee k-cups, etc. to get you started without having to run out to the store right away. All of the major grocery stores to include Publix, Whole Foods and Fresh Market are within approximately one mile or less to the house. There are also many restaurants in walking distance. Most importantly the beach in just five houses away. Just load up the beach wagon and roll over and enjoy the most beautiful beaches in the world!
When you are not enjoying the beautiful Destin beaches, you can also enjoy the amazing “views from space” of stunning beaches around the world. The house is decorated with phenomenal photos taken from the International Space Station of beaches and other extraordinary views of famous places across the globe. A treat for both the adults and the children!
