Great property

From the moment we booked the place we had incredible communication with the property team. The home was spotless and by far the best place we have ever stayed. The layout was perfect for our family of 5 and could have even had a few more with the extra bunks! Pool was fun and the location can’t be beat! We already are looking to book again.

Everything about our stay was great! The location is just a short walk to the beach and the pool was wonderful to cool off. We didn’t get a chance to play bocce but liked that the court provided additional privacy.

This is a very cute house with plenty of room for a family on a beach vacay. The backyard pool area is previously decorated with a lot of seating and a great grill area with a table that our family enjoyed grilling and eating dinner outside.

This was a wonderful place to stay. Very clean and convenient. Close 10 minute walk to beach and very safe area. Stores are just up the road. This was our second year staying at this house we loved it so much!

Was an excellent location. Proximity to the beach is always critical with small children because you’re constantly going back and forth, carrying all the beach gear!!! It really helped that they provided a wagon and not to mention a great pool!

Easy walk to the beach just 1 block away. The cafe on the corner was a big favorite for coffee, lunch, and cocktails. Very convenient to shopping as well! Bocce ball in the backyard was a great touch!

We enjoyed our stay so much! It’s just steps from the beach. We traveled with our teens & two grandparents & everyone loved this house! The private pool was enjoyed by everyone. The property management was so helpful when my mom realized she’d forgotten a bag at home and had It sent overnight to their office. Definitely planning to stay here again!

Beautiful property! Great location! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Mind. The only negative is the pool needs to be refinished due to spots of black algae and the gate to the pool is difficult to lock and unlock.

This property is well maintained, close to all amenities and a very short walk to the beach. The backyard is private, quiet and not overlooked. The property management company is VERY responsive and accommodating. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a beach vacation in Destin.

The house was ready early and was super clean. The house has everything you will need. This was our first trip to Destin and we will be back. I would definitely stay here again just 2 short blocks to the beach. It was cold the week we were there so the heated pool was very nice. Nice Webber grill to cook out and all the cookware you would need to make anything. I could go on and on this place was just awesome thank you for making our trip so fun!!

Sugar Palm Rentals was great to work with. Communication was amazing and they were very efficient getting information to us for our stay. We return for the location and the pool is the perfect size for our family of 4. The house has just about everything you need, is a short walk to the beach (my 5 and 7 year old never complained once about the walk), and super close to restaurants/grocery store/shopping. I did give some feedback on landscaping and deep cleaning. If they take care of those things, we will definitely be back for another stay!

A spectacular week with two families (5 kids total). House was great, pool was awesome, and location was the best. We timed it! About 12 minutes round trip (drinks in hand) from front door to our feet in the water on the beach, and back to the front door. Obviously, we stayed and played on the white sand beach for much longer. Customer service was amazing, too. They called and texted to make sure the check in and check out process was as simple as possible. And when we realized we didn’t want to leave…they made it super easy to book another night (luckily it was available!)

This house was perfect for our trip with me, my husband, 4 teens and a 10 year old. The location was perfect…close to the beach and close to shops. The communication was amazing. The house was described perfectly and was clean! We only went to the beach one time because the pool was just what we needed! We would absolutely book this property again. We love Destin!

Overall, this house is great! Very clean, spacious enough for our family of 6, nice pool, beach gear to use...it had everything we needed. The management company was great - friendly and responsive to our questions/needs. We were literally a 5 minute walk from the beach! Shopping was close by too. We'd definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed staying for 6 nights in this beach house (group of 4 adults and 5 children). Very clean, organized, nice decor, fluffy towels, comfortable beds. The swimming pool was awesome; beach toys, inflatables, umbrellas and beach chairs can be found inside the shed by the pool. The location was just perfect, only 5 minutes away from the beach. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the grill. Highly recommended!
