Needs a lot of help
Location was great but it was definitely not clean. I typically don’t complain but owning rental properties ourselves this unit shouldn’t be rented until somethings are fixed, not bandaged up. I read previous reviews before staying about mold and it’s still there. They aren’t truly fixing any issues. We ended up leaving a day early because we just weren’t comfortable. King bed was terrible, we had a mouse that got into our food, it smelled damp and moldy, and was just not clean. The owner was very responsive which was great but couldn’t fix all the issues that this place has in one visit. Things need replacing. Unfortunately we won’t be coming back.

We really enjoyed our stay because the beach was our main attraction however if your hauling a Trailer be prepared to go through some maneuvering to get in and out of your vehicle and trailer other then that we had a great time!! The owner did work with us on parking it in the maintenance area so that wasn’t too bad! You have very little parking and yeah the place is a little dated and the mold smell is present but we mainly stayed on the beach so not a bad place all in all .! A mouse got in our bread which had me looking around for the little critter . We contacted the owner and he came right over to put in fresh bait . Mice are a protected species at the beach . Why who’s knows but we enjoyed the top deck and the private beach.!

The lowest standards in that area
Amazing location and everything was there- only most things were the lowest standard of acceptable. I was surprised that the mold didn't bother me, but it sure seems like you could spray with some bleach water to remove it from all of the registers. Seems like it should be half price...but we love the area and we still had a great visit. Loved the umbrella being available.

Great location to beach, older condo, needs deep cleaning and update
We loved that the condo was steps from the beach. We stayed upstairs so if you have health problems or pregnant as my daughter was here, this would not be ideal. The condo needed a MAJOR deep cleaning, The couch was old and stained so we put a sheet over it for our stay, black finger prints on the sides of the doors, and numerous black hairs, as well as cut fingernails in the bathroom floor. If the condo was updated and cleaner I would stay here next time. The grill was rusty and had not been maintained. Would not stay here again.

Great location 🏖🐬
Property does need some tlc. But we enjoyed it either way. The location was perfect and the beach steps away, saw dolphins from the room. The Circle K was across the street and allowed us to shop for any needs that came up. The location was also in between two bars on the beach, Whales Tail and Pompanos with Whales Tail just a quick walk away via the beach or road. If you are looking for a no frills stay near the beach this is it! We will definitely be back. There were more positives than negatives, parking could be an issue if traveling with two cars but we managed and this was communicated by the owner prior to arrival.

Pros and Cons
The location is very convenient being directly on the beach and was probably the highlight of the place, and the condo itself was cute. However, the beds were not comfortable at all, I looked forward to leaving to get home to my own bed. Also, we experienced parking issues as you have very limited parking. We had 2 cars and had to park bumper to bumper behind each other and very close to neighbors cars and the busy street, so our car got hit by someone elses car-door. Then one night after coming back, someone was parked in our spot. We tried locating the owner but was unsuccessful. So we didn't have parking that night and had to park down the street. Also, we were at the beach when I noticed someone was inside of our condo, so we went to check it out and it was maintenance. We did not like that we were not notified that they would be coming, as we had all our personal belongings out such as wallet and purse and such, so that made us very uncomfortable that they just showed up without notice.

Amazing Location!
Sticks in the Sand is a no frills condo right on the beach. It is on the second floor of the building so it is not an appropriate rental for young children or the elderly as you have to climb 3 flights when you are coming up from the beach. You cannot beat the location. Truly steps from an uncrowded beach with a Circle K right across the street for all your ice and snack needs. The condo is dated but appears to be clean, however, the reason this review is 4 stars is because we did see several cockroaches outside on the porch and one in the upstairs bedroom. If you don’t need anything fancy and love the beach this is the place for you!

Overall good stay. They have a lot of beach items in storage for guest to use. No need to bring anything. Parking was tricky and tight with 2 SUVs. And anyone staying here needs to know there are a lot of stairs!

SITS unit 4A - Nice
Nice place especially for a small group. It is right on the beach. Amenities were good. Unit 4A, is on the upper floor. You have to walk up several stairs to get into the unit and up several stairs for the bedrooms. Then down several (31) stairs when you go onto the beach (can not get a large ice chest down the stairs). Thankfully my (older) mother is in good shape and could walk the stairs. All and all, beautiful scenery. Accommodations are all there. We had a wonderful time in Destin. Appreciate them sharing their beach home with us.

Nice Vacation
This is a renovated older condo with a beautiful view, check in and out was easy, it was clean and a great little vacation getaway spot for our family. There was construction going on in the condo next door, which was a little annoying but wasn’t too disturbing as we weren’t in the condo much during their work hours, it’s located right in the middle of all the tourist attractions which was handy, but of course that also means lots of traffic noise. We did end up leaving early because the people who owned the condos 2 doors down were very rude to us “since we were only renters” and on the beach they insisted we moved even though we were clearly on the area designated for our condo. The weather was beautiful, we saw dolphins from the deck and from the beach everyday, and a shark too. Other than the neighbors and some traffic and construction it was a great vacation.

We loved being directly on the beach. We had private steps and didn’t have to share with anyone else. The outdoor shower was perfect for our children and they loved using the toys from the closet. We had everything we needed and didn’t have to buy beach toys! Very easy process to check in/out. Great space for our family. Plenty of room and can’t beat the location!!
