From the beach-cottage architecture with its yellow siding to the extra large sunlit pool deck with table and chairs for outdoor dining right next to the large, private pool (heated option now available), Walking on Sunshine is classically Florida! Daily walks to the beach a block away under the palm trees…listening to music with a cool drink from the shade of the screened-in back porch…sitting on the front porch watching happy families wave hello- this is the stuff that Destin vacations are made of.

Walking on Sunshine’s meandering interior is ideal for a variety of guests vacationing together. Fast internet and FIVE smart, large flat screen TVs await you throughout the home for those times when you just want to kick back and relax. Stream your favorite binge worthy shows, or video conference with family, friends or even work. TWO downstairs entertainment rooms with large wall-mounted TVs and comfortable seating areas; a full dining room; a kitchen with all the accouterments to prepare your personal favorite dish; and three quiet bedrooms upstairs, all with large, smart flat screen TVs allow opportunity for each person to vacation at their speed. Plus, practical amenities like a full size laundry room, BBQ grill, plenty of parking, beach wagon, and pool toys.

Just a couple of blocks to Destin Commons, this great location in Crystal Beach allows you to walk to the beach or restaurants only improves the sunny disposition of this home. It will feel so good to let your plans be guided by positive things like whether to have a pool day or a beach day. A golf day or a shopping day?

meh

the property was a good location.. the house interior and furniture needs updating. the lighting inside is lacking in several areas, such as over the dining area there is no light. there was no DVD player in the whole house so we had to have the maintenance person install one. the TVs are hung high on the wall so your neck hurts after watching them..of course, if your used to this then its not an issue the beds are old, so your back is going to hurt every morning. the overall condition of the house is basically aged 1999/2000 style. communication with the manager is difficult..they have to get back to you, its usually a day turn around... the only good thing is you can bring your dogs, and we were going to but at the last minute we got a sitter.. so the house was no longer relevant so for the price, i will look for another house in 2022

Property was clean. Location is 3 blocks from beach and 3 blocks from shopping and movie theater. Lots of restaurants close by. The pool is the perfect size. I stayed for a month. I had one issue with the toilet and it was handled immediately. Bikes are provided and there are nice bike paths along the scenic drive. I felt very safe in the neighborhood even when I was there as a woman alone. I met the owner and he was very kind and even left me a small souvenir.

Walking on Sunshine

The house was very nice. Could be cleaner (the floors and small rugs ) they needed cleaned and floors just needed washed with some water with cleaner. The hot water needs a plumber to fix it has faucets bleeding over which made the master bathroom hot water hard to get because it would bleed to another faucet. We have owned a plumbing company so knew the problem but need to track which faucet is causing the problem. The place was very roomy for a party of five and easy to leave. Yes we would stay there again providing they fixed the hot water problem in master bathroom. I like things clean and think your cleaners could do a better job. Especially dog hair under sofas.

Great home for vacation

Great single family home in a quiet neighborhood. Less than a 5 minute walk to the beach. Less than a 10 minute walk to Destin Commons. Home feels like a home, not a vacation rental. We had 2 adults and 3 kids (12, 8, and 4) and the home was a prefect size.
