It was a very nice well kept property. There was 14 of us and was room enough to be all together and if someone wanted alone time they had that space too.
The home was all we expected and more! Very clean, stylish, comfy, and well appointed kitchens. The pool was great, and plenty of parking for our big group. Definitely recommend!
Had a great weekend at the property. Weather was iffy at first but we had great communication with the landlord. Had enough room for everyone and had a great experience
The house was spacious and beautiful. The owners responded promptly when we needed them. Location was fabulous. We had a few issues with the check-in and the maintenance of the property, but the owners were quick to make it right!
I can’t say enough great things about Sunfish Manor! The house and pool are absolutely beautiful and perfect size for our group of 12. We were a block from the private beach access which was fabulous. Our host was super accommodating and responsive. 1000% would recommend!!
Negatives- Pool wasn’t cleaned in advance of us showing up, was cleaned day prior to us leaving. Frustrating to show up and there is only 1 roll of toilet paper in each bathroom and 1 roll of paper towels in each kitchen, spend 500A night and have to immediately buy toilet paper and paper towels is frustrating. The positives, great location, spacious house, many many beach toys available in the garage for kids, would still come back. Host was attentive and responsive, safe area.

Glad you guys enoyed your stay and would come back! Kids looked to be having a great time in the photo! The pool is cleaned teice a week, and was cleaned the day prior to your check in. There was a storm the next morning which caused leaves to fall in. Your stay was only 3 nights total. If you mentioned it i would have gladly sent them back to skim the top. There were 12 total rolls of TP total provided. I believe you may have not seen the spare rolls but i wish you would have said something i would have told you where they were.
There shld be a respectable amount of toilet paper. Also very important, we felt a little vulnerable with no covering over the front door. But we absolutely love the house. Thxs.

Glad you loved the house! The front door has a modern blind that can be closed it just pulls down. All VRBO properties include a starter pack of toiletries including an unused roll for each bathroom. Thanks for making memories with us in Destin!
Our experience at the Sunfish home was absolutely wonderful! The property is so beautiful and well supplied. Including games for some family fun. I loved how the 1st and 2nd floor kitchens were exactly the same including pots & pans. My family and I truly enjoyed the stay. The property manager and her husband are extremely responsive and tentative via the app and text if necessary. I was very pleased with the quietness of the neighborhood, beach access and bed comfortability. The only concern we had was there was stains on the linen including the towels, we went out and bought blankets and towels for our comfort though. Other than that, I definitely would rent this place again and recommend this to anyone looking.

Thanks for your review and so glad you enjoyed your stay. We have replaced all the linens and towels, we replace them every 6 months, we use white so they can be bleached but they still need replacing due to makeup stains fairly often.
We stayed here with family and friends and it was beautiful! I had to contact the host twice for questions and she answered right away and was so friendly. Everything was perfect, I couldn’t have asked for a better stay or host!
Thank you for sharing your property!
Big house for our group, everyone very comfortable and pleased with accommodations. Wide age group that wanted different things from the house. Everything from two master suites to bunk beds, to a special party room for kids, to a “Murphy bed” for fun, to plenty of bathrooms, pool, and BBQ!
We loved our stay in your beautiful home! We had a large family gathering...8 grandkids and 7 adults. There was plenty of space for all of us. Your home was so well equipped...had everything we needed...and was beautifully decorated ! We loved the pool area and the proximity to the beach! Your home had everything that we hoped for. There was a huge amount of pool and beach toys available in the garage. Our 8 grandkids were so excited to see that! The beach was just a very short walk away....maybe 3 minutes. Thanks for a wonderful family getaway!
We would rent this house again, without hesitation. The house is huge! 3 balconies, a great pool and outdoor furniture. We did have trouble for 3 nights with the renters next door and had to call the Ordinance Police. Unfortunately, our attempts to have them take their party inside were worthless, they kept partying outside at the pool until 3 am, every night they were there and they had double the capacity of the house limit. We were surprised the Ordinance Police didn't do more. We just hope they notify the rental management company. It was not managed by the company that manages Sunfish Manor. And, finally thanks to Tonia, she was a dream work with!
We recently stayed at this property with our family that ranges in age from 6 to 70. What a great place! Space for everyone, quiet space for down time, and a great pool! Location could not be better, 3 minute walk to the beach!
We had an amazing time!
We had a family wedding in Destin and this was a perfect house for us to stay with the extended family. The house was super clean and the pool was in good excellent condition and clean. Everything was just like listed and plenty of room for everyone.
Very short walk to the beach and the house had all the beach toys.
We all want to come back soon.
We loved the proximity to the ocean. The pool was perfect for us in the back yard. House was fully stocked- appreciated the amount of bath towels. Beds were comfortable. Loved the floor plan. It fit our large extended family well. Our favorite part was the two kitchens.
Owners were always helpful and quick to answer questions.
We come to Destin every summer snd this has been one of our favorite houses. We will stay here again!
THANK YOU from West Virginia! :) This past week, our family of 14 stayed in your beautiful home. Everything was as pictured. There was plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable and have an enjoyable vacation. There were plenty of beach chairs, pool toys, etc in the garage. The location to the beach was PERFECT. (very short walk!) We hope to come back for future vacations! THANK YOU AGAIN!
This house was absolutely perfect! I love that each floor had it's own feel, plenty of bedrooms and two kitchens! We had 4 adults and 7 kids and it was plenty of space to spread and still feel like you weren't on top of each other. The amenities were very well kept, the house was cleaning and everything was working. They even had sand toys and chairs available in the garage. The beach was a short 3 minute walk and when you come back they have an outside shower for you to wash all the sand off before you enter the house. We will DEFINITELY be coming back to this house soon! Couldn't get enough of that 3rd story balcony that overlooked the ocean and sunsets at night!
Excellent property. Lots of space, very clean. Very close to the beach and great response from the owner with questions via the app. Would definitely stay here again.
