We had the best time! The location was perfect. You could simply walk to the beach or jump on the golf cart and pretty much drive where ever you wanted. We will definitely book again.

Destin family trip 2026
Aquilla is so responsive and kind. Overall the house was nice. Washing machine was not available until Thursday which was unsatisfactory for families with small children. Need to have a pizza cutter in the kitchen and a new large frying pan. The one that is there is quite worn. Also need soap holder in the main floor bathroom tub. A griddle would also be nice for cooking pancakes.

Our stay at Crystal Mansion was absolutely amazing. This home was perfect for our multigenerational getaway. It comfortably accommodated four great‑grandparents, seven adults, a 3‑year‑old, an 8‑month‑old, and our two dogs — and it never once felt crowded. The electric golf cart was such a fun and convenient bonus, making trips to the beach and around the area incredibly easy for everyone. The home was spotless, well‑stocked, and thoughtfully arranged. It truly made you feel at home. The owners were kind, responsive, and clearly take pride in creating a welcoming space. We made wonderful memories here and would absolutely return. We can't wait to come back.
Our entire family had a magnificent vacation at this location.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at this amazing home! It is definitely a favorite among families coming to Destin. Thanks for taking the time to write a review for future guests.
This place was a dream! We recently stayed for fall break with a group of 14, ages ranging from 4-60, and everyone had such a great time. The beach is literally a 3 min walk, the pool was perfect after a long day on the beach, and all amenities were just as described! Thank you to all that made this trip one to remember!
We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay here again!

Thank you for the 5 star review! And thank you for such kind words about our Sugar Palm Staff - We work hard to ensure you have a clean, and happy experience as guests in our homes.
Absolutely fantastic property. Faithful in all respects to the website photos and amenity list, unbeatable location (literally feet from the beach), great pool and a seamless check-in process. We have stayed at several comparable properties in the Destin area - this was, by far, the best rental experience we have had.

Great location and room for everyone
Location is A++ Had a few minor issues but rental agent was very accommodating and took every step to make things right. Beds were comfy and kitchen well stocked. Would recommend bringing your own beach chairs if you have more than 6 people. Would stay here again.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay -- this is a great house for a large group like yours - especially with the beach just a quick walk away! We're local and take very good care of this home and our guests - always just a phone call away if they should need anything during their stay. Unfortunately, golf carts sometimes have issues -- luckily, the phone number to call for help is right there on the cart, so help was there quickly and you were on your way to have more fun in Destin!
