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

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.

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 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.

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

Spring Break 2024

Everything was very clean when we arrived. Great location. The host was very responsive before and during our stay. Although it's popular in Destin to have a pool on the property unfortunately, it was too cold to use it. Fortunately, we only had 1 rainy day. We love Destin and we will be back again!

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.
