Conveniently located to the beach.
We stayed at Sun-Kissed with 6 adults and 3 kids. It was the perfect size for all of us and had everything we needed. The extra beach chairs and beach toys were definitely a nice bonus. It was an easy walk to the beach and the pool was nice too.

We had a great stay at 233 Kona Way! The house was good but the kitchen is a bit small. The pool area is nice but could use a much bigger hot tub. Overall a great stay!

Very nice place. Plenty of room for the amount of people. Not super close to the beach but the shuttle that takes you across from the beach was fast to come and responsive. Would definitely stay here again. The floor was a little dirty on arrival but may have been foot traffic from unloading the cars
We had a great family stay here. The rooms were great. Bathroom clean. Kitchen had everything we needed. Floors were swept but not mopped. The bottom of our feet were black on the first night from walking around bare footed. The complimentary bathroom and kitchen boxes were wonderful, full of necessary items, but they forgot to put one in the first floor master bathroom. The complimentary pineapple was wonderful. The swimming pool was great after a hot day!

We enjoyed our stay at Sun kissed last week. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The pool was wonderful and kids as well as adults thoroughly enjoyed it. The beach was a few blocks walk, but not bad. If you drive to the beach, There was good parking at the crab shack and nice open public beach. The only negative was a couple of the chairs were broken out front, but we made due.

We had a wonderful experience! The rental was in a perfect location with convenient access to all of Destin's attractions. We love our communication with the owners the most though. They were very quick to respond and extremely helpful. We hope to do another family get together here in the future. The rental was everything they said it would be. The 4 bedrooms were spacious and loved the community feel of where we were.
My family and I all enjoyed our stay. It’s perfectly located between the beach and the Destin Commons. The house was clean and well equipped with everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. However, we ran into a problem during our stay. Our air conditioner quit working and it took them 3 hours before someone could fix it. It ended up getting 80 degrees in the house. This wouldn’t have been a problem because we had plans to go out but we brought our two small dogs with us and they were miserable. I called and checked in and there were many AC outages that day apparently. Once maintenance arrived it was back up and running in no time. When we departed Monday morning the AC went back out again. Not sure what’s wrong with it. Besides that one minor inconvenience, our stay was awesome. Would stay again, as long as the AC doesn’t go out again lol
We had a great time. Listing was accurate. Definitely at least a 10 minute walk to the beach but very easy to call for the bus shuttle. Bus driver was always quick to pick us up. Be sure to tip. We enjoyed the very nice pool and hot tub. Water was a little too warm on both but it is a very hot, late July. Kitchen was stocked with plenty to make meals. We usually make a breakfast or lunch and go out for dinner. Furniture was nice and comfy. Sofa bed was not so comfortable but typical for sofa bed. Still nice to have as an option and kids don’t mind sleeping on it. Was nice to have an umbrella, a few beach chairs and a couple boogie boards available with house. Umbrella has seen better days but was nice to have and did the trick on a very hot/sunny week. We were also thankful it was a pet friendly home as we had to bring one dog with us. She did great. They do have one baby gate at the house that we used to keep dog from going up the stairs. Overall a great property and would definitely rent again. Was very easy to work with My Vacation Haven. Always very nice on phone and easily answered all questions or concerns.

Reviewer Comments:
House was amazing and very well kept. Only downside was no one told me that golf carts are not welcome. Before I booked I asked about golf carts and was told they were allowed. Once we got there for our weeks stay, I got a call at 11:00 PM to say I needed to move the cart or it would be towed. I had to spend an extra $300 to park the cart outside the community for the week. If you are planning to rent a golf cart to get around you should probably look elsewhere.
amazing! the property was beautifully decorated and very clean. the beds were super comfortable and the shuttle to the beach was stellar! the pool area was also fantastic.
Our stay was amazing. The house was perfect. The accommodations were perfect for our group of 8-10 people. The beds were huge and comfortable. The kitchen had all the supplies we needed to cook. Easy and quick access to beach and pool.
Our family has been coming to Destin for the past 3 yrs this was our first time staying at this property everything was as described. We had a wonderful time and made lots of memories will definitely stay here again.
We had a great family vacation and this property was perfect for us. Central to so many activities, close to the ocean and a great pool on-site. A great option for any vacation.
