Sun Palace
Over the past 20 years we have stayed at quite a few of the houses located at Destiny By the Sea. Sun Palace ranks at the top of our list. Everything was first class including a nugget ice maker, an eight burner Italian made gas stove, double ovens and even a warming oven. The Master Bedroom was fantastic and there was plenty of space in the Living Room and Sitting Area for everyone to congregate. We will definitely stay there again.

Spectacular!
There were 10 adults in our party. The home is more spectacular in person! Check-in is a breeze! The home is very spacious, clean and beautifully decorated! The kitchen is very well appointed with 2 full-sized ovens! It’s right across the street from the beach! We had a wonderful time and will definitely book again!

Wowza
What an amazing multigenerational vacation in a breathtaking house with views of the emerald coast. Fantastic quick responding staff to questions and such. Each suite is well appointed and the beds were super comfy. Just a quick few steps to the gorgeous white sandy beach. Our whole family (17) of us had an amazing time from the 2 year old to the 77 year old. We had a blast and every need was met. The only thing we missed was having bikes available that we thought based on listing would be there and the grill needs rebuilt. But the property manager was going to see that. You will not be sad if you book this property for your next vacation. 5 stars indeed.

Nice place, but…..
Overall the house is nice and mostly as advertised. Perfect for large families and close to the beach (although not ON the beach, which would have been slightly better). Just a few things… 1) check in was terrible, we had to wait out in the rain because we didn’t have the door code even though it was supposed to be provided at 4pm (we got there at 5:30pm). It took at least 10+ min to get ahold of someone before we could get in. 2) elevator works, but most of the bathrooms are not accessible for a wheelchair. Also, if you have someone in a wheelchair who needs beach access, there is NO ramp to get to the beach. We had to take a very challenging / dangerous off-path route to get to the beach which required us to recruit several people to help get our wheelchair bound guest onto the beach. He did rent a wheelchair specifically for sand which was helpful, but I cannot believe they don’t have a ramp. 3) when we arrived the outside trash dumpsters were completely overfilled with a few large trash bags even on the ground. Looked very trashy, pun intended. I notified the host but got no response. Had to even put the extra trash bags in the dumpster myself (and these were disgusting) after the trash truck came. 4) communication with the host was not very personal. The property seems to be operated by a huge rental management company who doesn’t respond to every message or text. They also send some automated messages that are not applicable to the property.

Absolute Perfection!
This house was even more beautiful in person (somehow) and had everything we needed/wanted plus some! The beach access was a VERY short walking distance, and the home had all of the amenities as described in perfect working condition. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching and listening to the waves. The interior was stunning and extremely well-kept/clean, and even when we had to call maintenance for a small water leak outside, they responded extremely promptly and had it fixed the same night. The instructions were very clear (parking passes, check-out process/procedure, wristbands, etc.), and everyone from kids to teens to adults in our group loved and enjoyed the home and neighborhood. We will definitely be back again!

Great property for our family getaway
We stayed at the Sun Palace for Thanksgiving week and really enjoyed the location -- just steps from the beautiful beach. It was our first trip to the Destin area and we found the location to be convenient for outings all around Destin as well as a day trip to Seaside. The house worked really well for our group, especially being able to utilize the carriage house for my daughter, her husband and two small children to have their own space. 5 stars!

12 of us stayed here to celebrate our daughters 13th birthday. It was the absolute perfect space for all of us (7 adults, 4 teenagers and 1 little one). The house was beautiful, spacious and the perfect location. The beach is less than a 30 second walk. Couldn't have been any better!
