Great family house

Katie was so generous and communicative before and during our stay with information. It was a great location for the beach, shops, and a pleasant neighborhood to walk. With a preschooler and two babies, we really appreciated all of the baby gear in the house—it made things so easy. We were also impressed with the quantity and high quality of all kitchen implements. Overall, a lovely house with a great pool. We loved it!

Family Time : )

Everyone in our group agreed the place was exceptional, and our host, Katie, thought of everything a renter may need. She has set the standard for all of our future rentals! We had room to enjoy family time together, but could go to our very large rooms for some down time. Six small children were in our group so we appreciated the pool alarms, golf cart, and beach chair set up to make everything easier. Most of our time was spent at the house because it was perfect! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Great property for family getaways! Accommodations were excellent and fit with desired activities in Destin! Having the Low-Speed Vehicle (golf cart) was key to flexibility to and from the beach with 4 chairs and umbrellas every day of our stay! Quality of amenities were first class. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks Katie!

What a Great Vacation!

We stayed at Sand Dollar for 10 days in April 2025, 10 adults and 3 toddlers. Katie has a spacious, beautiful home that had everything we needed. Check in was easy and Katie was always available if we had any questions. The house was spotless and really well maintained. We first noticed how much open space there was on the first floor, perfect for meals, games, and just hanging out and having fun. The kitchen was very well stocked with all the appliances and utensils you could possibly need. The furniture was all high quality and the beds were so comfortable. And the three primary bedrooms are huge! The guest cottage provided a nice respite for those who needed a bit of space from the toddlers ;) The pool was perfect for everyone, though we did pay a bit extra to have it heated since the weather hadn't really warmed up yet. It was well worth it. It was fun to have the golf cart for quick trips to the beach, but the walk to the beach was also very quick, and the neighborhood is very nice. And the beach chair and umbrella setup was wonderful, the attendant was very helpful and friendly. It is obvious that Katie knows what guests want and need, there were so many nice touches that we really appreciated, including twelve (12!) beach towels, extra beach chairs and umbrellas, pool service every few days, even extra trash pickup. Thanks for a great vacation!

We had a great time during our stay! All the shops and store was close by and the beach was a few minutes walk down the street. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe the whole time there. The house was amazing and very when we got there. The owner and the rest of the team was very prompt in responding to any questions or concerns before and during our stay there.

It’s difficult these days to find time where our schedules align with our adult children! We scheduled this VRBO on a Friday & arrived Saturday! The check in was super simple. Check out very easy too! The location & house were perfect! We had everything we needed! There was no detail our host didn’t think of! The private pool was amazing & the short walk to the beach made beach days a breeze! The house was big enough for everyone to have their own space to retreat to. The kitchen was perfect for a family where everyone loves to cook. We were close to shopping, restaurants & entertainment! Thanks so much, this week was exactly what our family needed!!
