Fun in the sun
The home is beautiful and very conveniently located to the beach, pool and gorceries. All the beds were very comfortable making every night truly restfull. We made all of our own meals in the gorgeous kitchen. We just had such a great week.

Great location
Wonderful! We were in the area for a wedding and this house was perfect for our stay. Great location in a quiet neighborhood. Short walk to beach and also close to shopping and restaurants. The owner sent detailed information about the house and area before our trip, which was very helpful. Highly recommend!

Quick walk to the beach
The house was as advertised. Communication with Rebecca was easy. It was actually closer to the beach than it looks on the map, which is a plus. Everything you need is less than a mile away. Our only negative had nothing to do with the owners or house but the HOA. They threatened to ticket us for being 2 inches past the fence line. It's a quiet neighborhood and it appears that the full time residents have nothing better to do but watch Renters. We'll be back to Destin soon.

WE LOVED IT!!!
We absolutely loved our stay. Rebecca was incredibly helpful and kind, which made us feel right at home. The neighborhood is very nice and has a pool, however we spent most of our time at the beach (which is less than a block away). The location is perfect. There’s a Whole Foods, Publix, outdoor shopping mall, Bass Pro and plenty of places to eat within a mile. My family loved this vacation and we would definitely like to stay at A Slice of Heaven again.

Another wonderful stay at “Slice of Heaven”!
My family is repeat renters at Slice of Heaven because we feel at home with the rental process and the comfort of the house. The proximity to the beach is basically a couple minutes until your feet touch the sand. The neighborhood is charming. The amenities in the house make it feel like home. We will continue to be return renters at Slice of Heaven for said above.

Why they chose this property

We started coming to Destin many years ago. It has become such a special place for our family filled with so many amazing memories. Every time we went it was a “slice of heaven.” This summer we decided to have a permanent place to go to and continue to make memories with our children and hopefully with our grandchildren. We want to share this home for others to make memories and enjoy this "Slice of Heaven."

What makes this property unique

Crystal Shores is such a quaint, family friendly neighborhood that is literally across the street from Crystal Beach. Our home has wrap around porches on each story that are perfect in the morning with a cup of coffee or in the evening with a glass of wine. Each bedroom has direct access to the porches. The house also has wood flooring with plantation shutters for both privacy and to keep the bedrooms dark in the morning sunlight. We also have a beautiful patio area where friends and family can gather together. When going to the beach there is a beach wagon and beach chairs, umbrella, etc. for your use. When checking in you will also be given basic amenities such as dish soap, dish washer pods, laundry soap, soap, toilet paper, paper towels, coffee k-cups, etc. to get you started without having to run out to the store right away. All of the major grocery stores to include Publix, Whole Foods and Fresh Market are within approximately one mile or less to the house. There are also many restaurants in walking distance. Most importantly the beach in just five houses away. Just load up the beach wagon and roll over and enjoy the most beautiful beaches in the world!

When you are not enjoying the beautiful Destin beaches, you can also enjoy the amazing “views from space” of stunning beaches around the world. The house is decorated with phenomenal photos taken from the International Space Station of beaches and other extraordinary views of famous places across the globe. A treat for both the adults and the children!
