The property was quaint and nice. While the pool was small it was a nice addition complementing the stay. We did enjoy it and the house had good amenities to use and a workable kitchen and plenty of sleeping arrangements. It was in a good location and within walking distance to the beach. Overall it was a good stay and the owners were extremely accommodating and had great communication when issues presented themselves.

We had a wonderful stay here. The hosts were incredibly friendly from the start and when there was an appliance that malfunctioned, they were responsive and got it tended to asap. We love the easy access to the beach- about a mile walk to the beaches, restaurants and shopping- just such a convenient and fun area. The house was wonderful-comfortable, convenient, well stocked and clean. We’d definitely stay here again

We just spent a week in “Sundial” Cottage in Destin. The house was lovely and so well appointed! It was totally equipped with everything you could possibly need. The location is terrific, with close access to stores and restaurants. A couple blocks to the beautiful beach. Driving takes about a minute. There’s a private pool in the backyard to enjoy as well.We had a wonderful time and made some great memories! The owners, Vicki and Mike were terrific to work with and communication was great. I would definitely stay at Sundial, should we ever head back to Destin!
