From the beach-cottage architecture with its yellow siding to the extra large sunlit pool deck with table and chairs for outdoor dining right next to the large, private pool (heated option now available), Walking on Sunshine is classically Florida! Daily walks to the beach a block away under the palm trees…listening to music with a cool drink from the shade of the screened-in back porch…sitting on the front porch watching happy families wave hello- this is the stuff that Destin vacations are made of.

Walking on Sunshine’s meandering interior is ideal for a variety of guests vacationing together. Fast internet and FIVE smart, large flat screen TVs await you throughout the home for those times when you just want to kick back and relax. Stream your favorite binge worthy shows, or video conference with family, friends or even work. TWO downstairs entertainment rooms with large wall-mounted TVs and comfortable seating areas; a full dining room; a kitchen with all the accouterments to prepare your personal favorite dish; and three quiet bedrooms upstairs, all with large, smart flat screen TVs allow opportunity for each person to vacation at their speed. Plus, practical amenities like a full size laundry room, BBQ grill, plenty of parking, beach wagon, and pool toys.

Just a couple of blocks to Destin Commons, this great location in Crystal Beach allows you to walk to the beach or restaurants only improves the sunny disposition of this home. It will feel so good to let your plans be guided by positive things like whether to have a pool day or a beach day. A golf day or a shopping day? All of Destin’s entertainment options are very close by so let the sunshine carry you from this quintessential beach cottage to wherever your heart leads you.

Great stay!!

We enjoyed our time at Walking On Sunshine!! Our family of 5 (ranging from ages 5-38) had plenty to keep us entertained at the house and in the area. The house was clean and well kept, well stocked, and had good customer service.

Short stay

The day before we were leaving there was a ROACH on the kitchen counter!! Really disgusting and freaked us out!! I called the next morning to complain and they said it was no big deal they were common in FL. They wanted to have pest control come and spray while we were in the house but we didn’t want to breathe that stuff in so told them to come the next day after we check out! Otherwise, it was a beautiful rental! I would just ask about roaches if you want to book it.

Not clean or kept well

Upon arrival there were roaches in the kitchen coming out of the kitchen light fixture, huge dog poop on the pool deck after it clearly states on the contract no dogs allowed on pool deck as it is against the Florida health department code, there is no way this property was properly cleaned between guests and so much more wrong with this property. Even all of the vents for ac were dirty and rusted. This house can use a lot of TLC. I would not recommend working with VRBO their customer service was horrible dealing with this as feces and roaches with children is definitely a health and safety issue. The management company that runs the property did work with us eventually so we can leave early but it took a while to get them to agree (hours on the phone from 7 pm until 10 am the next day) they also eventually reimbursed us partially and they only gaVe a partial reimbursement a few weeks later.

Fit Our Needs

This home was spacious enough for our family of 5 to enjoy each other and to have our own privacy. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. Having two tv’s and living areas downstairs was ideal for having young children. I rated cleanliness with a 4/5 because there was dog feces and empty beer cans and juice boxes on the pool deck when we arrived. The pool chairs were not organized and it was if the pool deck hadn’t been touched. We did not bring our dogs, so I’m sure it wasn’t from us. Most of the chairs on the front porch were broken, but aside from that, the interior of the home was well kept. The location to the beach was great but we did rent a golf cart to make it easier for transport out items. This home is just two houses from a 4 way stop sign, so you can hear traffic from the master bedroom early in the morning. If you’re a heavy sleeper, no worries, but it bothered me. Blackout curtains in the master would be great. All in all, we would stay again!
