Great Vaca
This is a great location. We had a great time here. The kitchen looks to have been renovated recently. The outside on the beach side is a little aged but but a great place to sit and enjoy the evening air and sound of the waves crashing against the shore. It is a AWESOME location and with it being a private beach it is not crowded. I recommend this place.

PERFECT LOCATION
Fantastic location! Could use a little updating but being about 20 yards from the water's edge really made up for that. Owner was very responsive to the questions and requests we had during our stay. Parking is TIGHT; think about bringing a smaller vehicle if at all possible.

Very happy!
Just as described - on the beach with a beautiful view! Comfy and roomy. We were on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the townhouse, you would need to keep that in mind if someone in the party has trouble with navigating due to the steps. Parking was right at the door. We brought our own chairs and it was so nice to have a deck to leave them on each day. Being a private beach was wonderful too! The only other people we saw were those walking the beach and our next door neighbors.....loved the small crowd. Early morning and late evening was almost like you had a beach of your own!

Nice stay
Loved the beachfront location! Close to good food and bars. Property manager was communicative and easy to work with. Condo could’ve been a bit cleaner - we did find some hair in the bathrooms, countertops had sand on them and we saw a few dead roaches on the floor. It would be nice if TVs were smart TVs so we could watch streaming video. Great stay otherwise!

Great beach getaway in Destin
I traveled to Destin with my mother and my 2 teenage boys for an end-of-summer trip. This townhome was perfect for us. It had plenty of room for everyone to sleep and the beds were comfortable, especially in the master which had a great big comfy bed. There's a gas grill on the patio for cooking out and a closet that contains some beach/water items to use while there. There's also an outside shower on the downstairs patio with hot water- a big plus. We put all of these to great use during our stay. The unit is multi-level which gives everyone space to spread out and we never felt crowded. While this is a big plus for a family, it was a little challenging for my aging mother with the stairs. There are dark and narrow stairs to enter the unit, stairs up to the bedrooms, as well as narrow stairs to get down to the beach (this is a second floor unit). The stairs had to be navigated slowly and carefully. The location of the unit was fantastic with an amazing view of the beach and water. Several mornings we were able to watch dolphins from our patio. It's right across the street from a convenience store which made it easy to cross and get ice and other small items. Communication with the owner/manager was great. They checked in with us when we arrived and even brought in a portable AC unit before we got there to make sure it was cool inside. This is an older unit and is showing some signs of wear both inside and outside, but everything was clean and some things have been updated. There were plenty of cups, utensils, pots/pans, etc. in the kitchen and a hair dryer in the bathroom, as well as one packet of laundry detergent to do your laundry before returning home. There are also two coffee makers- one regular and one Keurig. However, there are no supplies to make coffee, so you need to bring your own. There are also no condiments like salt/pepper. This is the one thing that we didn't think about ahead of time, and had to go back out to get these items. While everything about the property was great, the only thing that we didn't like was parking. It was very tight and some other occupants brought big vehicles that block your view of the road while trying to pull out. Overall, our stay was fantastic and we really liked this property and would definitely stay here again.

The place was great and right outside the door are a sugar-white sand beach and a crystal clear ocean. What more could you want. I loved having the convenience store right across the street too. Need more ice? It's steps away. We'll be back for more!

Just Right
This townhouse was exactly what we were looking for. We don't like to be in the high rises or in the heart of Destin. Its too busy and congested. We've also stayed further East but that's too far away from restaurants and attractions. Sticks in The Sand is located just right. It's out of the circus with a private beach but close enough if you want to hit a restaurant or take a sunset cruise. The beds were comfy, water was hot, AC was cold and the kitchen was very well stocked and had nice appliances.( no icemaker so bring ice. I hear they are hard to keep running in beach rentals). Our host covered pretty much any and all details is the house manual ,which was supplied to us before we arrived. I had a question and he answered very quickly. There was a street long internet/cable outage for a few hours. Before we could complain our host acknowledged the issue with a message telling us what was going on and what the plan was to fix it. The furnishings were nice. We had everything we needed. Check in and out was easy. Assigned parking is handy ( right in front of the door then one flight of stairs up. )Know that if you have big vehicles,2 cars are going to be a tough fit, but 2 medium to small will work if your mindful. The beach is steps from the back door (down 26 steps...yes I counted...its a thing)The water was clear and turqoise during our visit, Looked like a swimming pool. Lots less people on the private beach and great sunsets. It's an easy walk to The Whales Tail for a drink. I saw someone complaining about rust. The inside is very nice. Outback looks like all beach places look. If its metal or wood the salt and sun cook it quicker than anyone could keep up. Everything on the balconies and stairs was clean, sturdy and safe with good plastic furniture.. If you want no beach, sun, salt corrosion, you need a much much more expensive place or a different kind of vacation. Someone else complained about the bright yellow color. We liked it. It's beachy and happy and made it easy to know which one was ours ( yellow building...third blue shutter...in case you're wondering.)

Stinky, rusty and damp.
The minute we entered the property there was an overwhelming smell of cleaning chemicals in the whole place till we found out that it was to mask the smell of raw sewage that filled the whole condo. All couches were damp and full of stains. Rust was every where even in some of the kitchen utensils… over all the raw sewage smell ruined the mood every time we would enter the property… contacted the owner to no avail… it’s an old dingy smelly place .. begging for a complete renovation.. I have pictures to prove all this .. oh and rusty chairs in the balcony with a rusty grill that I would not touch with a 10 foot pole… definitely not recommended…yes it’s right on the beach but so are hundreds of other properties.

We rented this property for my wife's birthday. I had other family members rent adjoining units, we had 6 total. The place was everything we wanted and worked wonderful. We were able to give codes to others and come and go as needed. The location was great and exactly what we wanted. Having the circle K across the street was convenient too. Will totally stay here again. Loved it!!!!
