However, the unit itself is in need of attention. The shower in the 2nd bathroom upstairs was not able to be used because the shower curtain rod was broken. The exhaust fan in the master bath was not operational. Both of the couches had an odor to them - the smaller one smelled of mold and the larger one smelled of vomit. If you plan on using the kitchen to cook meals, make sure you bring your own spices - there is nothing. Furthermore, there is no hand soap in the bathrooms or hangers in the closets. I have stayed at numerous VRBO properties and minimal spices, hand soap, and hangers are always available for renter use. At the time of our visit, there was construction going on in the adjoining building and as a result numerous nails were in the parking lot. Again, great location and with a some work, the property could be great. It's the little things that make for a great experience. ##### Stacy G. ### 8/10 Good #### Cassandra B. May 12, 2019 #### Oceanfront views and great space Overall, the townhouse had a great beach locations with ample space for our girls trip. The bunk beds in second bedroom were comfortable and the many bathrooms made getting dressed quick. The many balconies and decks were awesome as we're the chairs available for use on the beach. I would stay again and recommend to others. A few suggestions; -4pm check in is late. House was available earlier but didn't receive contact until 3.45. I know it is dependant on cleaning but they were done. Cleaners should alert owner when done with each unit not when they are done for the day. -10am check out is too early when check in is 4pm, hotels give you till 11 and allow earlier check-in. -negotiate half price cleaning fee with cleaners. $150 is reasonable for a week, we were there one night (18hrs with check-in times) and really only slept in unit. $75 for less than three days would be reasonable. -Hand soap in half bathroom. There was none provided and no place to put the bottle we brought. -dish soap. At least start with a small bottle and tell vacationers to replenish for longer stays -make towels in bathroom visible, had to search. There is a nice spot on tile counter behind door for a small rack -paint/repair dressers tops in 2nd bedroom. Patterned shelf liners could cover marks and chips -add light at top of stairs. Came in at night and couldn't see numbers for door keypad ##### Cassandra B. Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Jerri V. Aug 16, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great beach getaway in Destin I traveled to Destin with my mother and my 2 teenage boys for an end-of-summer trip. This townhome was perfect for us. It had plenty of room for everyone to sleep and the beds were comfortable, especially in the master which had a great big comfy bed. There's a gas grill on the patio for cooking out and a closet that contains some beach/water items to use while there. There's also an outside shower on the downstairs patio with hot water- a big plus. We put all of these to great use during our stay. The unit is multi-level which gives everyone space to spread out and we never felt crowded. While this is a big plus for a family, it was a little challenging for my aging mother with the stairs. There are dark and narrow stairs to enter the unit, stairs up to the bedrooms, as well as narrow stairs to get down to the beach (this is a second floor unit). The stairs had to be navigated slowly and carefully. The location of the unit was fantastic with an amazing view of the beach and water. Several mornings we were able to watch dolphins from our patio. It's right across the street from a convenience store which made it easy to cross and get ice and other small items. Communication with the owner/manager was great. They checked in with us when we arrived and even brought in a portable AC unit before we got there to make sure it was cool inside. This is an older unit and is showing some signs of wear both inside and outside, but everything was clean and some things have been updated. There were plenty of cups, utensils, pots/pans, etc. in the kitchen and a hair dryer in the bathroom, as well as one packet of laundry detergent to do your laundry before returning home. There are also two coffee makers- one regular and one Keurig. However, there are no supplies to make coffee, so you need to bring your own. There are also no condiments like salt/pepper. This is the one thing that we didn't think about ahead of time, and had to go back out to get these items. While everything about the property was great, the only thing that we didn't like was parking. It was very tight and some other occupants brought big vehicles that block your view of the road while trying to pull out. Overall, our stay was fantastic and we really liked this property and would definitely stay here again. ##### Jerri V. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine v.

Our stay at Sticks in the Sand was fantastic! Check-in was seamless, and the owner was incredibly responsive throughout our stay. When we encountered an issue with the stairwell light, it was promptly replaced, which we really appreciated. The best part was being directly on the beach—it made for a truly relaxing getaway. The condo's layout was perfect for two couples, offering plenty of space and comfort. Plus, the value for the price was great, making it an even better experience. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely return! ##### Beth D. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristine M.

Plenty of space for 2 small families. Everything was clean and well kept. Will definitely stay here again! ##### Kristine M. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Andi P. Aug 29, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### PERFECT LOCATION Fantastic location! Could use a little updating but being about 20 yards from the water's edge really made up for that. Owner was very responsive to the questions and requests we had during our stay. Parking is TIGHT; think about bringing a smaller vehicle if at all possible. ##### Andi P.

Just as described - on the beach with a beautiful view! Comfy and roomy. We were on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the townhouse, you would need to keep that in mind if someone in the party has trouble with navigating due to the steps. Parking was right at the door. We brought our own chairs and it was so nice to have a deck to leave them on each day. Being a private beach was wonderful too! The only other people we saw were those walking the beach and our next door neighbors.....loved the small crowd. Early morning and late evening was almost like you had a beach of your own! ##### Joan B.
