You will be within walking distance to some of Destin's favorite restaurants. 1 block from Pompano Joes. There's no pool here, but we own the beach all the way to the waterline and the ocean is all yours. Just step off your deck onto your own private beach.

A 5 min drive of outlet malls, many restaurants, and other retail shopping. Want to go to the Destin Harbor, then give yourself ten minutes driving time, and you're there.

Close to everything, comes with everything. including daily setup of 2 chairs and an umbrella March - Oct. We also provide plastic adirondacks for the offseason. This is a 'NO SMOKING' ,'non pet' unit which can sleep up to 8 people. The entrance to this unit is located on the 2nd and 3rd floors of this beachfront townhome.

Beach Time: Their are private balconies on every level!. Equipped with chairs for a relaxing evening in the breeze. Chair service is provided (March - Nov only) The scenery is complete with both a breathtaking view of the gulf and the sounds of the waves breaking on the beach. Play in the beach all day in our provided plastic Adirondacks or rent chairs from the local service and they can set them up daily with an umbrella. Finish your day by rinsing off in the outdoor shower.

The master bedroom is located next to the ocean so you can hear the waves even with the doors closed. Which we recommend to prevent both rust and our A/C from freezing up.

There is one parking spot for this rental that hold 2 STANDARD cars back to front. it is directly in front of the unit. Public parking is in walking distance if you have 2 oversize vehicles .

Lastly, no more looking for the perfect beach spot since the unit is deeded all the beach to to the water!

Unit was completely filthy. There were also 2 sliding doors that had no locks on them. The host said he had someone come in and clean the unit. This unit has not been cleaned in a while. When you first walk in you smell mold and mildew. The toliet in the 2nd bedroom upstairs moves when you sit on it. The pictures listed on the VRBO site are not accurate. I would not let my dog stay here.

The location is magnificent, the view is magnificent, the price is magnificent. The only issue with this place is some cleaning crew issues the owner should address. I am assuming it is the cleaning crew as I hope the owner does not approve of the things we noticed. Quick glance the place is clean, however; after walking around barefoot for just a few hours the bottoms of our feet were black. Further we noticed that the bathroom just off the kitchen has literal dust bunnies hanging on the valance.  The ceiling fan has dust collection on the ends of the blades.  An upstairs bedroom has something around the vent in the ceiling.  Was hard to identify from a distance.  Owner does state that if cleanliness is not to liking to call cleaning crew however, what we noticed is not something the cleaning crew could just come in and wipe up or sweep up.  Someone is not cleaning up to the standards a 155 cleaning fee should cover, especially if this place is rented all the time.  We were there a week.  If 155 is being charge for each stay then a new crew is needed.  The owner was very communicative and helpful when I had questions.  Absolutely, no issues there, everything was as explained in the description.  I would stay again as long as the cleaning concerns were addressed.

Great location

The location is perfect to enjoy the beach, it is also within walking distance from stores and a restaurant. It could take an update since there are several little things that need attention like the tile on the steps and on the floor (loose) better vacuum job since I found blonde hair (not ours) , also floor is not level in some parts of the living area The beds are noisy they may need to be changed also

Me and my four kids stayed here this past week and it was really great. The location was so convenient, we walked wherever we needed to go. The beach is right there, no crossing the road! The balconies were really nice to enjoy breakfast and coffee on and the outdoor shower was super convenient. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Location

Perfect spot right on the beach. The beach wasn’t crowded. Local shopping and food near by. Some walking distance. The place itself was clean, had everything we needed for cooking and hanging out on the beach. Plenty of spots to sleep and storage for clothes. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else when visiting the area.

I had to book later than I would have normally due to circumstances beyond my control so I wasn't sure what to expect. This condo exceeded my expectations. There were a couple of little things that I texted James about and he was very receptive and attentive I would stay here again in the future.

The views and beach were amazing - parking was horrible the spots are VERY narrow and there were 3 pickup trucks parked next to each other and you can’t open doors - the space was dated and pretty dirty - walls had dirt on them and felt pretty grimy and bad part was there were no cleaning products at all to even wipe down things

Only complaint I had was that it would’ve been a cleaner unit. There was sand all over the place. In the bed sheet, the floor of the shower and the stairs from the bedroom to the main levels. A few loose tile on the stairs but we had a great time and would come again!!

Great location, but needs cleaned and updated

Great things: location (right on the beach with access via some stairs), plenty of space, great washer and dryer, good bathroom space, beach chairs and umbrella service, host responded quickly to messages Bad things: dirty (I called the maid service and they did not fix the issue), no internet or TV for half of our stay, kitchen is randomly stocked-four forks, dirty glasses and plates, random things left by other guests with no room for groceries, etc., mattresses are TERRIBLE. mold around the vents and exhaust fan does not work in upstairs bath. Towels smelled of mildew. No dish soap and one kitchen towel. Parking is terrible. The space is so narrow that you cannot open your door to get out of the vehicle. They are poorly marked as well. This is a two story unit with very narrow, shallow and slippery stairs. If you are older, disabled or out of shape this is not the unit for you.

About the host

Hosted by James Slatton

Host profile image
We are not professional renters. This unit was originally purchased as James's home on the beach and for years he rented out the first floor. We call it Sticks in the Sand because it is on pylons on the beach. Now married with 3 children we are moving to a larger space and converting the whole unit to a rental. It has 2 individual units A and B, so we can rent it 3 ways Due to the success of the original Sticks in the Sand, We are now have 4 townhomes to rent and continue to hope to provide our homes for families to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

The units are close to everything, walking distance to a bar/restaurant and directly on the beach with private ownership all the way to the water. . The townhome can be rented 3 ways, a 2 bedroom (Listing #586497) , 1 bedroom unit (Listing #1280803) or if you need more space you can rent it as a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath unit by renting them both. So it was perfect to maintain all my renters in one location.

What makes this property unique

Centrally located between Destin, Baytown and Sandestin. I provide everything you need from child toys, chairs and your own piece of private beach to enjoy. There is an outdoor shower to rinse off in and a big screen to relax indoors. Perfect for a couples getaway, a small family or group of friends. Sleep where you can hear the waves and not see or hear the cars
