Sticks In The Sand Unit 19A, Private Beaches! 2 Bedroom, 2.5 Bth Sleeps 8

(Listing Note... I have multiple 2 bedroom oceanfront properties listed on VRBO. If your dates are not available try these listings #2214330, #639885, #838156, #1348117, #586497, #856410)

The allure of Beaches of Miramar is as clear as our shoreline. We feature perhaps the best Florida beaches. Escape to a refreshing hideaway where you can unwind and rejuvenate. Admire the beauty of some of the best Gulf beaches. Marvel at the diverse architecture that defines our vibrant communities. Or learn about the area’s rich history, culture, and wonders. We promise you an experience filled with lasting memories.

'Stick in the Sand' is in the Heart of Old Destin. This Sanddollar townhome unit is on the most highly-desired beaches of Destin, and you can't get a better seat. You will be within walking distance to some of Destin's favorite restaurants. 1 block from Pompano Joes. There's no pool here, but we own the beach all the way to the waterline and the ocean is all yours. Just step off your deck onto your own private beach.

A 5 min drive of outlet malls, many restaurants, and other retail shopping. Want to go to the Destin Harbor, then give yourself ten minutes driving time, and you're there.

Close to everything, comes with everything.: This is a 'NO SMOKING' ,'non pet' unit which can sleep up to 8 people. The entrance to this unit is located on the 2nd and 3rd floors of this beachfront townhome. The second floor has a full living room with 55' Tv foldout sofa, chair and chase. It also has a full modern kitchen with double ovens, 6 bay downdraft cooktop, delta touch faucet, full size fridge and microwave and a half bath. The top floor has two bedrooms. The Master has a King Size Bed, custom bathroom and stackable LG Washer / Dryer in the closet. The guest bedroom comes with a full bed, and a twin bed with trundle and it's own bathroom. Tile throughout the house helps make it feel like home. There are flat panel TV's, and a DVD Player. The kitchen is equipped with appliances, dishes, silverware, and cookware. We provide linens, towels, and a starter set of supplies.

Beach Time: Their are private balconies on every level!. Equipped with chairs for a relaxing evening in the breeze. The scenery is complete with both a breathtaking view of the gulf and the sounds of the waves breaking on the beach. Play in the beach all day in our provided plastic Adirondacks or rent chairs from the local service and they can set them up daily with an umbrella. Finish your day by rinsing off in the outdoor shower.

The master bedroom is located next to the ocean so you can hear the waves even with the doors closed. Which we recommend to prevent both rust and our A/C from freezing up.

There is one parking spot for this rental that hold 2 STANDARD cars back to front. it is directly in front of the unit. Public parking is in walking distance if you have 2 oversize vehicles .

Lastly, no more looking for the perfect beach spot since the unit is deeded all the beach to to the water!

Great location
Me and my four kids stayed here this past week and it was really great. The location was so convenient, we walked wherever we needed to go. The beach is right there, no crossing the road! The balconies were really nice to enjoy breakfast and coffee on and the outdoor shower was super convenient. Would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic location - Unit needs work
I want to start by saying that the owner was very quick to respond to questions and very easy to work with. We've stayed at several Sanddollar Townhomes and unfortunately, this unit doesn't shine like the others we've stayed in. While surfaces that the cleaning crew would be dealing with regularly were clean, the walls, vent covers, light fixtures etc. were very dirty. It honestly seemed like any work that was done in the property was done by whoever's bid was lowest, not based on the quality of their work. I wish I would have actually read some of the other reviews prior to booking, instead of just looking at the rating number - 5 stars for location kept the score high. The unit served it's purpose for us but I wouldn't stay here again. It needs a complete overhaul. We actually took sheets off of a bed we were using and put them on the couch and chair so we could feel OK sitting on them. I don't like giving this review given James was great to work with but it is what it is. The location is fantastic.

The views and beach were amazing - parking was horrible the spots are VERY narrow and there were 3 pickup trucks parked next to each other and you can’t open doors - the space was dated and pretty dirty - walls had dirt on them and felt pretty grimy and bad part was there were no cleaning products at all to even wipe down things

This is just an ok place to stay. Its very old. It has a really bad musty smell. Parking sucks. If you dont have a small car you arent fitti g no more then one vehicle. They say they have overflow parking at the restraunt next door but this simply isnt true for over night parking. After 10 pm your subject to towing. We had a large SUV and A full size truck. So we worried all night if our truck was going to be towed as they both wouldnt not fit in the parking. The beach was nice one of the best beaces for kids to swim. So if you dont mind old and musty and have a small car by all means this is the place for you to stay and enjoy the beach at a fair price.

Great location!
I've vacationed in the Destin area for about 25 years and I love it. I came across this property and some of the reviews had me concerned but I took a chance anyway. I'm glad i did. When you first get to the property, you will notice that the spaces are very narrow but it does state that in the description so don't be surprised if people on both sides have full sized trucks or SUV's and you have to crawl through the rear of your vehicle to back it up. I have never stayed this close to the beach! We loved how we could walk down 2 flights of stairs and be at the beach. Note for elderly or disabled persons, to enter the front it's 1 steep flight of stairs and to go to the beach is 2 flights of stairs out the back. It's so much more peaceful to have a private beach like this. At a resort, dozens of people are constantly walking past you and whatnot, kicking up sand on you or worse, falling on you. None of that here. We were not bothered 1 time on the beach. The inside of the condo was clean and everything seemed to work but the ice maker. The owner was nice enough to post a note that it was broken and supplied ice trays. It was comfortable and supplied everything I've come to expect for that price range. 1 reviewer had mentioned cocroaches. Here's the deal on that. These giants are referred to as palmetto bugs but they don't carry the diseases of their German cousins. Sometimes they accidentally get inside and could unnerve someone that don't know what they are. Don't write a bad review because you don't know what you're taking about. I had the occasion to contact the owner a few times and I got an almost immediate response every time. He was easy to talk with and is very serious about the service you receive during your stay. We had a great time and can't wait to go back again.

No frills inside. BEST deck and beach access
Wow! What a stay. We spent January and February in unit 19A There are three levels of decks, all with plenty of space, chairs and a table on main level. These things were the best of the townhome by far. Communication with owner was always good. Responded if something was needed. WiFi worked great. We set up our Alexa and Fire Stick and used without issue. Zoom meetings we had also worked fine. When I said no frills I am referring to the look and feel of the unit. It was clean, arranged well, plenty of furniture and utensil in the kitchen with Keurig coffee maker. If you are looking for pretty or fancy with crisp painted walls and fancy decor, plush sheets and towels- you won’t be happy. King bed was comfortable and our guests said the queen bed sunk in the center but tolerable. The overall cost was for the entirety of our stay and the look and feel are not important. Bottom line , management, cleanliness, basic necessities and our safety and security were needs that were all met. THE DECK was incredible. The easy walk on to the beach was great. You have probably read about the parking so be aware. Nothing to be done about it so don’t judge it. It is manageable and be sure to back into your spot. Most of all we ENJOYED our stay with Sticks in the Sand!

Not our favorite condo/townhouse but the beach is awesome !
Just returned from a week at the beach and time for our review of Sticks in the Sand. We did love that this place is right on the sand. The deck is very nice and enjoyed sitting out there. And that is the positive review for Sticks in the Sand. The inside of the unit is not so enjoyable, needs some TLC. I read another review that said “tired and worn out” to which we totally agree. The walls and ceiling in the small bathroom are dirty and need some paint. The curtains in the main area are black with dirt and need to go(look at the bottom of the curtains!!) The smell of must/mildew is strong. My sister was a few doors down and their unit did not have this issue at all so I’m not so sure you can say it is due to the beach and humidity. The overall unit looks worn out and needs some fresh paint. The dryer in our unit did not work the entire week. Lucky for us I had another family member in the downstairs unit so we did have access to theirs BUT what would have happened if I only paid for the top unit? We would have been out of clean clothes and towels in no times. The appliance repairman could not come out the week we were there, not sure why. Disappointing to say the least. The ice maker did not work. We didn’t report it right away because we went out and bought bags of ice. When I did call to report this I never received a call back. I did reach out a 2nd time and was told they would reimburse us for ice but clearly that’s not necessary. It is the convenience of having it work that we missed, the cost of ice is minimal. Not the end of the world but another indication that the unit needs some attention. We’ve been to Miramar Beach and Destin over 20 times….so we are well aware of the area and the properties. This one was not out favorite. Wish we could say better things but just disappointed in the look and feel of this condo and the appliances that did not work.
