We’re happy to answer any questions before you book and we’re available if you should need anything during your stay.

We pay attention to amenities you'll need, such as high-speed internet (free WIFI), nice flat-screen TVs, high-definition cable, high quality bed linens and large, fluffy bath towels, hair dryers in each bathroom and more. We also provide items our smaller guests may need like a high chair and pack-n-play.
__________________________
MAIN HOUSE, FIRST FLOOR
You’ll love the spacious, open floor plan of the main house with tile floors, plenty of comfortable seating in the living area and a large flat screen TV with DVR/Blu Ray. The dining table seats 8, with additional seating at the breakfast bar. You’ll enjoy cooking in the bright, open kitchen with plenty of counter space and Stainless Steel appliances. You’ll find all the dishes, pans and utensils you may need, a Keurig K-Cup coffee maker, regular drip coffee maker and even a crock pot.

There’s a dresser and double closets for plenty of storage. Coordinating draperies allow for extra privacy or a little less light if you’d like to sleep in or enjoy an afternoon nap during your stay. The well-appointed, full bathroom is adjacent to this bedroom.

Bathroom #1, First Floor
This spacious bathroom on the 1st floor features a commode, large vanity with sink and storage and a tub/shower combination.

Your group can relax and enjoy the beautiful Destin sunshine in the 12 x 24 ft. pool surrounded by a spacious deck and beautifully landscaped private back yard. There’s plenty of seating, including a dining table for 6 with an umbrella, as well as a bistro table and chairs on the covered deck next to the back door. A gas grill is right there too for easy cookouts by the pool. For your little children, there are child safety gates to the pool deck from both the main house and the carriage house. Pool heat is available for an additional fee.

OFF-STREET PARKING
You may park up to 3 vehicles at this home, depending on size. (Golf cart must be parked in driveway too.) You cannot park on the grass, over the sidewalk, on the street or in the right-of-way.

A PERFECT BEACH LOCATION
The home is about a block from the beach; you can choose between two access points: Shirah Street or the larger ‘Shore at Crystal Beach Park’ with a pavilion and bathrooms. At the house, you’ll find a cart with beach chairs and an umbrella, so you can roll your gear to the beach with ease. Crystal Beach is the gold standard of Destin...no high-rise condominiums. It’s mostly residential, which contributes to the quietness of the neighborhood – you can just stroll down the sidewalk to the beach, or walk to a few nearby restaurants or shops. With the COMPLIMENTARY 6 PASSENGER GOLF CART, you can explore other beaches, shops and restaurants in the area.

Restaurants, activities and entertainment are also close-by. Destin Commons, a beautiful upscale shopping and entertainment center, is less than a half-mile away. It features over 75 shops and restaurants, including Bass Pro Shop, World of Beer, Whole Foods, Panera Bread, Uncle Buck's Fish Bowl & Grill, AMC Theater with IMAX and much more. Local favorite, Camille’s, is an easy walk around the corner and The Crab Trap is about a mile east. You can bicycle, scooter, Jet ski and go para-sailing all within walking distance. The Silver Sands Outlet mall is not far for those who enjoy “retail therapy”!

PET FRIENDLY
We are pet friendly and welcome your dogs in our home. There is a $300 per dog extra fee and your dog must be pre-approved by the owner.

NOTE: Monthly rates during November through February are based on two-person occupancy without the use of the carriage house. . If you have more than two people staying at the property at the monthly rate, you may be subject to additional charges after you have booked the reservation online.

Awesome Property
The property was exactly how it was listed. Plenty of room for our large family. Having the carriage house was great to have some separation and space when so many people are trying to get ready at the same time. The golf cart was an added plus. Location is great. Very short walk to the beach and having the private pool was awesome. Highly recommend.

Great Family Vacay
We traveled with our children and grandchildren, ages 3, 4, 6, and 7. There were 10 of us in all and the set-up of the house was perfect for us. The location can’t be beat. Easy walk to the beach and easy access to many restaurants and fun activities. The sunsets on the beach were amazing. The private pool was a big hit… our 6 year old and 7 year old grandchildren really improved on their swimming skills. The golf cart was also a bonus! Sugar Palm Rentals were very easy to work with… we had a minor issue with the pool heat and the gentleman who maintains the pools promptly fixed it. We had a blast! No one wanted to leave! Would highly recommend.

Family Vacation
This house was absolutely perfect for us. We had 8 adults and 2 toddlers and we had more than enough space. We really appreciated that we all had king beds to sleep in!! The pool was amazing and for a few they'll turn on the heat (which we did) and it was warm when we arrived! There was a wagon with some pool toys in it and even a golf cart for taking us all to the beach but with the proximity to the beach you hardly need it! Super close to great restaurants and grocery stores as well! We are already planning to come back next year!

Great space for everyone
We enjoyed our stay at this beachside property. It was quiet, and a short walk to Crystal Beach. The carriage house was perfect for young adults wanting some solitude of their own. One thing that would deter me from renting again is that while the house has a golf cart listed in the description, there are technicalities to actually using it which we have not encountered in other gulf stays before. We declined from submitting additional information to use the cart. There were too many “what if’s” and liabilities involved so we chose not to rent. Kind of a bummer since we always rent a home with a golf cart and have never come across this before. I will be mindful when inquiring about future properties. Overall, it was a lovely stay and quite comfortable.

Great Family Vacation!
We had a wonderful stay. The location was a convenient1/2 block from beach access though our grandchildren (ages 3-7) spent most of their time in the well maintained pool. Check-in and out was extremely easy. House was clean and the kitchen was well equipped with dishes/glasses/pans etc. Note: There were no spices/salt/pepper etc so you will need to shop for those items. Bed/pillow comfort will depend on preference. I was not a fan but others were. The management company was extremely quick with responses and very communicative/friendly. Overall a great stay and we highly recommend.

Great family trip!
We had a great experience with this property. Home was clean upon our arrival and was just as described in the listing. Kitchen was very well stocked and grill outside was clean and in great shape. Golf cart was charged and ready to go. The location of the home is easily walkable to two different beach access points. One even has a golf cart parking lot. Sugar Palms was great to deal with. They checked in with me after check in to make sure everything was good with the home. We had an issue with the garbage disposal not working on the first night and within 30 minutes the maintenance man had installed a brand new disposal. All in all, we had a great trip! Thanks!
