Excellent Experience

Wonderful stay at Sweet Caroline! Management was extremely responsive to concerns or issues. The only issue was beach access. We were under the impression we could cross the street through the gated community to the private beach. That was not the case. Other than that, it was a wonderful stay! We hope to be back soon!

Easter 2025

The property was beautiful and clean. Very close to beach and many beach supplies in the garage. There was plenty of room for our group of nine. The pool was beautiful and we used it daily. The Destin Dreamer entertainment activity service was invaluable for booking golf and kid activities. Please consider providing the community gate code so guests can easily enter. We had to wait for a kind neighbor to let us in.

Great golf vacation

Beautiful house, great location 3 to 4 blocks from beach although we golfed most of the trip so did not get much beach time. We had so much room at a reasonable price. Just a note to future guests, the kitchen was pretty well equipped, but make sure you bring baggies, foil, dish soap etc, they did have salt pepper and coffee filters, but that was the extent Of the paper products.

Great Property and area

Overall the property was great. Response rate was quick for a few things that we needed. I would improve the pool heating, it should stay heated throughout the stay and make sure its heated before guest arrive. Pool was in 65F setting until a tech came around hence wasted a few fun days for the kids who were eager to jump in the pool. There was also an issue with not having wristbands for the community pool and they did not let us use it nor did we ever get them. Wouldn’t have tried to go to the community pool if our pool was fully heated. The property was in good shape and the house is very close to the beach.
