About this house rental

Sandcastle Dreams -

When you start dreaming of sandcastles and blue-green waves, you know it’s time for an Emerald Coast vacation. So, why not book a stay at one of the stunning vacation rentals located in Destin’s exclusive community of Destiny? Sandcastle Dreams is a Mediterranean-style vacation villa that looks remarkably like a luxury sandcastle itself. This dreamy home features seven bedrooms, six baths, and a separate guest house. It can comfortably accommodate up to 22 happy beachgoers.

The main level of this grand home boasts an incredible great room that flows through the living, kitchen, and dining areas to create an open and welcoming atmosphere. The elegantly styled living room includes two light-blue couches and two floral accent chairs, all of which surround a regal coffee table and face a TV that sits above a dormant fireplace. The living room connects seamlessly to a formal dining alcove that features a vintage chandelier and table for six. A kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, an island, and a mini sidebar with seating for two is located on the other side of the living room. A bonus breakfast area with a white table and seating for six is provided, as well.

The first level also includes two of the home’s bedrooms. One primary suite features a king-size bed, intimate patio overlooking the pool, and private bath with dual vanities and a soaking tub. A large guest room provides ample sleeping space with a king-size bed and full bunk.

Upstairs, guests will find a game room with Billiards and a card table, where the kids and kids-at-heart can play and make fun memories. This level includes an expansive furnished balcony that looks out over the pool and lake. Four additional bedrooms are also located on the second floor. The primary suite boasts a king-size bed, private bath with walk-in shower and soaking tub, and access to the balcony. Each of the three guest rooms feature king-size beds, one of which has a bonus full bunk.

The separate two-level guest house has the main living space on the second floor accessible by an exterior staircase. An intimate seating ensemble is comprised of a light-toned wraparound couch, maple-topped coffee table, and TV. A dining table with four chairs and a full kitchen completes the space. The final bedroom includes a king-size bed and private bath.

In addition to sleeping and living accommodations, guests will enjoy the luxury of the property’s private pool. The large pool, columned veranda, gas grill, and open sundeck all provide a great place for guests to relax, sip a tropical cocktail, cook a poolside meal, and soak up the sun. When you’re ready to venture off the premises, the beach is only a short stroll away. Other nearby entertainment can be found at Seascape, the Village of Baytowne Wharf, or Silver Sands Premium Outlets.

Everything was just as advertised. House was great. Plenty of room for 18 of us to spread out. Quiet, clean, and comfortable. Pool and outside cooking area was also very nice. Communication with property manager and informative text were great as well.

Everything was good except the pool, for some reason it was not clean properly and cause ear infection on more than one person.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Mar 2025
Numerous issues! First, call to verify when your rental is available. We were told we could get in early, twice via text and phone call. However, it was not ready. We were told an inspector needed to go into the property for our safety. When we were able to get in the home, the ice maker was frozen solid. Both couches and 1 chair legs were broken. Fridge would not go below 44’, right burner only works on high. Built in grill doesn’t work, grill that did work, the gas ON when we got there. All floors were dirty, had to wear shoes or else bottom of feet would be black. Dirty towel and trash in upstairs main closet, no hot water. Came out twice to fix, breaker was turned off. Pool not heated on arrival, which we paid extra for. Numerous exterior lights were out, no extra blankets, stained sheets. There were more issues, but too many to list. We would not rent this unit again. Feel sorry for the renters that come immediately after use who wont be able to read this review.
