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. including daily setup of 2 chairs and an umbrella March - Oct. We also provide plastic adirondacks for the offseason. 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.

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

The location is perfect to enjoy the beach, it is also within walking distance from stores and a restaurant. It could take an update since there are several little things that need attention like the tile on the steps and on the floor (loose) better vacuum job since I found blonde hair (not ours) , also floor is not level in some parts of the living area The beds are noisy they may need to be changed also

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!

Could’ve been cleaner

Only complaint I had was that it would’ve been a cleaner unit. There was sand all over the place. In the bed sheet, the floor of the shower and the stairs from the bedroom to the main levels. A few loose tile on the stairs but we had a great time and would come again!!

Destin break

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

Perfect spot right on the beach. The beach wasn’t crowded. Local shopping and food near by. Some walking distance.

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.

Simply Amazing

My husband and I stayed at Sticks In The Sand the second week of May and had an amazing time. If you have any doubts about whether to stay at a hotel chain versus Sticks In the Sand then let me put your mind at ease. The location and convenience of Sticks In The Sand is worth every penny. The beach is gorgeous and private. Sticks In The Sand is also near every restaurant and store you can imagine. The owners are awesome, and will help you with any questions or issues you have. I am giving them 5 stars because the customer service was outstanding. I almost always get home sick when we travel, but I can honestly say that this was the first time that I truly felt at home and didn't miss home once. Destin, Florida is a beautiful place to visit. Our trip was simply amazing. Terry and Kaye H. Texas

I love Destin!!

We stayed in this unit from Sept 20-27. It is located right on the beach. The beach is absolutely beautiful! September is the "off season" so the beach was not crowded at all. The location is great! It is close to local restaurants and the grocery store isn't far. There is a coffee shop just down the road that I walked to one morning. The unit was great - had all of the amenities that we needed. The only negative is the parking. You get two spaces that are front to back. I think people kept getting confused and we had other people parked in our space on several occasions. The owner/prop manager helped us get it resolved. It is a great little place for the price! (Warning: it isn't very kid friendly as the stairs are steep)

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.

Nice stay but could have been better

overall it was a nice stay but there were a few things that made it a bit of a hassle. We had previously stayed at another location for Sticks in the Sand that was farther down the beach, this location was much nicer on the inside but the location was way worse. unfortunately its right next to the beach reserved for the resort behind us across the street and everyday.... sometimes several times a day people would be setting up canopies or umbrellas in our private lot and we would have to get them to move. Most individuals had no issue but there was always ones willing to try and combat us over the location. there is signage stating the fact that its a private beach but it was practically ignored. I believe there needs to be new signage for the walkway that comes onto the beach directing people to the correct side so they can see it before they even get to the beach. parking is always an issue, we have a normal sized minivan and we had to park back almost to the road just to be able to get in and out of our vehicle, the parking spots are way to small. Overall despite the daily headaches it was a decent stay and the house was well cleaned and updated, no issues there.

Great location but very uncomfortable place to stay

We came here for a girls trip, four girls and the location right on a private beach was awesome! However, I am quite surprised at the very high reviews on comfort for this place. It really is misleading if you need to use all the beds. First of all, this place 1A has a TON of stairs. This is not a complaint just want everyone to be aware that it's three flights to get to down to the beach and then two flights inside your unit. That is one flight to actually get to your front door and then another flight to get to the bedrooms. Outside, it's three flights to get down. So if you are older or have bad knees, it's hard to do, especially carrying your chairs and coolers. Unless you drive a prius or smart car you WILL NOT be able to fit in the parking spot. We actually had to park behind our parking spot the entire week as there was big vehicles on boths sides, and there is no way you can fit in the spot AND open your car/truck doors. PARKING is an issue. Now the inside, I am an avid traveler and stay at vacation rentals quite often. This is hands down the most uncomfortable place I have ever stayed. Everything in this unit is cheap. The couch is stained and when you sit on it it drops below the wood piece in front so you have to be pulled out and it's uncomfortable. The pull out bed on couch, the springs are broke, so the mattress actually slopes to floor and it's so then you are basically sleeping on the rods below. Plus they literally have PLASTIC on it and the twin bed. PLASTIC! All the beds are EXTREMELY noisy and the twin is like sleeping on plywood. So anytime you turn over it wakes everyone in the room up. Last but not least is the minimalist approach. We stayed a week. I know we were emailed to check in and bring our own paper towels, toilet paper, dishwashing liquid, garbage bags, etc. This is because they literally left us w/ one dishwashing pod, not even a full roll of paper towels, minimal TP, one garbage bag so it's like CHEAP. We get the same amount of supplies as a two day stay...when we stayed five nights. You can thank us, we bought you some soft soap for bathrooms, dawn dishing detergent, some Pam spray, some paper plates, scent candles, etc....just to have some offerings to your guests. However, I wouldn't doubt your housekeepers take it all since there is literally nothing left behind from other people (really?). Yes, we had to buy scent candles to cover up the mold and musty smell. Mold is at vents at HVAC and on ceiling.

About the host

Hosted by James Slatton

Host profile image
We are not professional renters. This unit was originally purchased as James's home on the beach and for years he rented out the first floor. We call it Sticks in the Sand because it is on pylons on the beach. Now married with 3 children we are moving to a larger space and converting the whole unit to a rental. It has 2 individual units A and B, so we can rent it 3 ways Due to the success of the original Sticks in the Sand, We are now have 4 townhomes to rent and continue to hope to provide our homes for families to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

The units are close to everything, walking distance to a bar/restaurant and directly on the beach with private ownership all the way to the water. . The townhome can be rented 3 ways, a 2 bedroom (Listing #586497) , 1 bedroom unit (Listing #1280803) or if you need more space you can rent it as a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath unit by renting them both. So it was perfect to maintain all my renters in one location.

What makes this property unique

Centrally located between Destin, Baytown and Sandestin. I provide everything you need from child toys, chairs and your own piece of private beach to enjoy. There is an outdoor shower to rinse off in and a big screen to relax indoors. Perfect for a couples getaway, a small family or group of friends. Sleep where you can hear the waves and not see or hear the cars
