Thank you so much for the wonderful review! Four Prong Lake and all of the wildlife around is one of the most serene parts of Sunrise by the Sea! We are so glad that you all enjoyed your stay and use of the amenities provided! Contact us - we would love to help you find your way back to Destin's beautiful beaches! Thank you from all of us here at Destin Beach VIP :)
We had a very nice stay overall and really enjoyed this location. The neighborhood felt very safe, quiet, and well maintained. The exterior of the property was kept up nicely, and the community amenities were a great bonus. Being within walking distance to the public beach and a nearby restaurant was extremely convenient, and the short drive to Destin Commons made it an ideal spot for our family vacation!The home itself was clean and generally comfortable. We did experience some water heater issues during our stay. While the owners were quick to respond and address the problem, the circuit continued to trip intermittently, which resulted in a few cold showers midway through. It was inconvenient, but we appreciated how responsive and communicative the hosts were when we reached out.Overall, we had a good stay and would recommend the property for its location, neighborhood, and responsive hosts.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and for your kind words about the location, neighborhood, and amenities. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the convenience of being close to the beach, dining, and Destin Commons, and that the home worked well for your family vacation. :)
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the water heater circuit during your stay. While we’re glad our responsiveness and communication were appreciated, we understand that a few cold showers are frustrating and not the experience we want for our guests. Since your visit, we’ve taken additional steps to ensure this issue is fully resolved to prevent it from happening again.
Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback and recommendation. We truly appreciate it and would love the opportunity to host you again in the future.
