Just as described - a short walk to the beach but the closest entrance is a private beach so you have to walk down the beach about 3 blocks for public beach. Our family used the private pool the most. Close to everything food, grocery’s and entertainment. Our extended family had a wonderful time.

Southern Sands Destin

This was the perfect place for our family. From the Grandparents down to our youngest grandchild of 1.5 years old, everyone was comfortable and had a great stay. Especially for me as a Grandpa getting to watch the kids play, the house had everything we wanted

Our stay was phenomenal, from the rental contract to communication with Jan, the accuracy of the property description. We had a ball and will definitely be renting again.

Great group trip.

Took my diverse aged office staff to Destin as a thank you for their hard work. The house was wonderful. It even better than the pics. The pool and back yard was great especially on days when the little kids in our group were worn out from time at the beach. The rooms were clean and spacious. The kitchen was able to accommodate all of our needs. Great property and would def stay here again!!!

Destin Vacation

The house is beautiful and fit our needs. The location is great as the house is in a quiet neighborhood and close to beach. Used the golf cart but it had little power as it needs new batteries. Jan was great to work with and resolved any problems that came up

We are thrilled you enjoyed your vacation at the beach house. There is nothing like being one block away from the beach. Thank you for letting us know about the golf cart! It has already been at the shop and brand NEW batteries have been installed and it is ready to go! We love when our quests inform us of any issues so we can correct them immediately. Please come stay at Southern Sands anytime. Best, Jan

Perfect home/location for family vacation

Great, well equipped property for a family vacation with kids. The pool was excellent, clean and we loved how the house was set up with pool toys and floats, loungers, etc. Layout of the house was nice and we had everything we needed. Jan was excellent to work with, and we appreciated her clear and thorough communication. Great location for access to the beach. We rented the golf cart and enjoyed using it to cruise the neighborhood and shuttle back and forth to the beach. Hope to be back soon!

5 star experience

We had an amazing stay at Southern Sands! From the moment we booked, Jan was attentive and extremely informative. The home was clean and within walking distance to the beach. The pool was a big hit for the kids and adults and was stocked with rafts and other various pool toys! We rarely went out for dinner because of the comfort of the home. I’m sure we will be back someday!
