Family Vacation

Our 3rd time staying at Sundail and never a disappointment. Our granddaughters enjoyed the pool as did we. The kitchen is well appointed for those of us that cook. We highly recommend staying at Sundial.

Wonderful Vacation in Destin

Mike and Vicki were great hosts. Communication was easy and thorough. Sundial is just a few short blocks from the beach and easy access to dining. It's located in a cute little pet-friendly neighborhood. The house was perfect for our family vacation!

Great Location

We had a lovely 2-month stay at the cottage. Everything was perfect- clean, comfortable and in a lovely neighborhood. The very short walk to the beach was pleasant with such friendly neighbors and a charming cafe with live vintage music. It was a lot of fun. Our hosts were perfect…responsive, kind and accommodating.

Amazing Stay!

The property was amazing! Very spacious and clean. Kitchen fully stocked with dishes. The starter supplies actually last us all week and we are a family of 6 including 4 teens. Close to everything. Homeowners were very quick to respond to messages. We really couldn't have asked for a better week!

Extremely clean!!!

The property was extremely clean. The house was larger than i thought it would be. It has a very nice layout, beautifully decorated, and gorgeous landscape. There were plenty of starters like dish detergent, toilet paper, soap, shampoo, conditioner etc. Also plenty of towels were offered. Our family spent a lot of time enjoying the private pool! If you have a lot to carry to the beach, I would highly recommend renting a golf cart. The walk to the beach is a little far in the heat. The golf cart made our trip feel more like a vacation...cruising around the streets feeling the ocean breeze. My teenage daughter likes to shop and there were many many options very close by. We had a couple days of rain, so we had fun making memories together shopping.

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.

Great place for a girls getaway

We have stayed at the Sundial twice and have had a great time each stay. It is a short walk to the beach and to many shopping areas and restaurants. It was only warm enough to get in the pool 2 days this time but we still enjoyed the privacy and quiet of the patio.

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

Beautiful Home

This was a beautiful home. We loved the layout of the house that gave us all privacy. The house was very cozy. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the grill. The walk to the beach was nice, but would recommend having a wagon if you’re taking a lot of stuff with you. The owners were very accommodating, very easy to reach with questions or issues. I would highly recommend this place. I will be looking into staying there again when we go back to Destin.

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.
