Local Recommendations Just for You:
As locals, we have our favorites, and we'd love for you to experience them too! For the best coffee dubbed by locals, head to East Pass Coffee. If it's cocktails you're after, Craft Bar is the place, and for a delightful brunch, don't miss McGuire's or Another Broken Egg. And our recommendations go well beyond these examples. Think of us as your personal guides to the best of Destin, always ready to share insider tips and hidden treasures of the area.
"I will return to this home because the host very clearly wants you to enjoy your stay. That’s a good feeling that is hard to fake!" -Robert
Book Your Stay at SolMate:
Come and experience SolMate, where the beach is just a moment away, and every corner of our home invites you to unwind and enjoy. Whether it's a family vacation, a group celebration, or just a break from the every day, SolMate is ready to welcome you.

The Neighborhood:

You will be super close driving distance to anything you have planned or desire to do during your stay. We typically recommend taking an Uber as they are very popular in the area and always less expensive that a normal taxi.

Our family enjoyed that stay in Destin. The house was a great space for our family to stay. Matt and Sarah were quick to respond to any question. We would definitely come back again.

After our Sanibel rental condo was destroyed following the hurricane, we were scrambling to find a way to salvage our annual fall getaway. We felt so fortunate to find this place for our family of 11. It was perfect for us. Plenty of room. The kids loved the pool, and the golf cart made trips to the beach a breeze. It all worked out great. 15 days wasn’t enough.
5.0
This was a great property! The host was great and communication of any need or question was quickly responded to. The home was very clean and the amenities were fabulous. Love that we had on our private pool. It was close to the beach and the neighborhood was lovely. 10/10 would recommend and we will be back 😁. I definitely recommend the heated pool and golf cart option.

Great house and great location
We just checked out and we are already looking at coming back. The house was everything advertised and we had a great time.
The only thing that I can pick apart is that in the cottage house the comforter was a little dirty. It could have used a washing. Other then that we loved it.

Beautiful home
We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It is beautiful, the pool is really nice and we used the golf cart to get around. So close to the beach. Would certainly stay here again.

Gorgeous getaway
Our family of 5 big people and our puppy loved this beautiful "home with a bonus home". We happened to get the coldest four days in the area in December, but because we added on pool heat, we were able to enjoy swimming and relaxing in the backyard oasis despite the outside temps in the 50's. The pool was 92 and awesome! I noticed right away that unlike in many properties, there was not one sign stating "don't do this, or do this" anywhere in the home. In other words, communication was through email instructions but the home felt like home! Garbage was easy, location was amazing, and having the golf cart rental arranged was extremely convenient (and we used it every single day multiple times). We had everything we needed and the owners were extremely quick answering any questions. We loved it!

Beautiful, convienant location, outstanding response time
This place was wonderful for our group. Just as advertised, in a great location with exceptional amenities. We had a couple items come up during our stay and Matthew responded and resolved them (our fault, not the property or the host's) immediately. We will be back for sure!

Birthday Girls Vacay
A group of us got together from different parts of the states celebrating birthdays and friendship. The house was amazing, even better than the pictures. The back yard with the pool was like a Sun Trap having the carriage house was an added bonus and a Ashley being a dog friendly home we could bring a four-legged friend. Location was perfect three minutes to get on the beach. Great restaurants within A few minutes drive. The golf cart was fun and useful for going short distances. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything you needed. Thank you Matthew and Sarah for Sharing a piece of paradise with us. I will absolutely recommend your home. Best of luck in the future.....

We Loved Sol-Mate
We had an amazing stay at Sol-Mate. As a family of seven, having two separate living spaces was great. My husband and I used the carriage house while my FIL stayed in the main house with the kids. Oh my gosh, if you have kids, you know how nice it is to have that little degree of separation.
During the day, we were in full-on family vacation mode. We spent our days enjoying the beautiful beach and venturing out to enjoy some of Destin's fun attractions. We spent our evenings relaxing in the private, heated pool. At night, family vacay turned into a couples getaway. The best of both worlds!
Some things we really appreciated about our stay at Sol-Mate:
outdoor speakers (really upped our fun in the heated pool)
clean and updated appliances
lots of extra beach towels and gear (chairs, buckets, shovels, etc.)
board games (handy when it rained)
fully stocked kitchen
rocking-chair front porch (Sol-Mate is on one of Destin's less busy streets so sitting out there watching the rain was quite relaxing)
the short two-block walk to the beach
Matthew and Sarah take great pride in their property. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable. With Destin 2019 in the bag, we are already planning for Destin 2020 at Sol-Mate.

The overall stay was excellent. A few things could be addressed. We killed 6 cockroaches, ran out of forks everyday and the toilet ran constantly. We will rent again!

Great Location - Great Hosts!!
We had a super stay - Sarah & Matthew were wonderful hosts. Phil was a big help, too. The pool and the grill were great amenities and proximity to grocery stores and the beach was very convenient. We hope to return! Thanks!

Family vacation....Perfect!
We had a wonderful tIme at Sol-Mate in Destin. The house was perfect, with everything needed to make a family gathering ideal. Thanks to Matthew and Sarah for creating a lovely place to vacation.

Great place to accommodate our whole family for Christmas.
Would definitively consider Sol Mate again for a group of 10 or less, very clean and nice and had everything we needed. Golf cart was super nice to have, although since the house accommodates up to 14 would have been nice to have at least a 6-8 seater. However the walk isn’t bad at all and shuttling folks back and forth worked as well. Very nice overall, cute neighborhood as well.

Perfect for Large Family!
The cottage out back is much larger than we expected. It was very comfortable for our oldest son and his family. The pool was very refreshing and the patio area was perfect for poolside lounging after a day at the beach. The main house had three bedrooms and two full baths. The split bedroom arrangement in the main house is perfect for privacy. The house was very comfortable and it was nice having a full size laundry room. We rented two smaller golf carts (Matt helped negotiate getting two when the larger golf cart was unavailable). The golf carts were perfect for the short trip to the beach. We have been to many different beaches but Crystal Beach in Destin is our favorite, by far!

My family and I had a great stay at Sol Mate this past October. We enjoyed the pool, the patio and the porches all through the day. We will definitely come back next year!

Awesome house for larger groups! Plenty of room inside and out and the pool is really nice! The location is in a great spot for beach access and local food and shopping!
Golf cart was a nice addition that we didn’t think we’d need, but ended up using quite a bit! Owners are really nice and always got back to me with any questions or concerns within minutes. Definiately recommond this house!

THE BEST HOUSE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD!
This house was amazing! I loved pretty much having two homes with the in ground pool in the middle! It was literally the destination of the beach! Can't brag enough how much we enjoyed this home and our stay!!! Congratulations Matt & Sarah new angel coming this world!!! Thank you again!!!!! I love this house!

Perfect place
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean and spacious, lots of room. We loved having the golf cart and the private pool. The cottage was well stocked with kitchen equipment, towels, and sheets. We also like that we could bring our dog. We will be back!

Great
We had an amazing time at Sol Mate! The property is very well maintained and the Owners were great at keeping in touch when we had any questions prior to check in as well as answering questions and giving suggestions once we were in Destin. Anything we couldn't find, they were just a text away ready to help or go pickup something we couldn't find in the house. Location is great and close to ANYTHING you should need. Golf cart was a huge plus! It was a great place to stay for our first family vacation and the perfect location to spend a week in Destin. We would recommend to everyone!!!

Fantastic place to stay
We had an amazing time. The beach was fantastic and having the golf cart made getting to the beach super convenient. Having our own pool was so nice, the kids loved it. My two biggest complaints would be: the front door was not really toddler safe. There was no way to keep the door locked from the inside other than chaining it. We had to lock the back door as well because of the pool so we were constantly letting people in and out. The wi-fi didn’t work in the carriage house very well, no tv in the back because of it and accessing the direct tv through the Roku was kind of a pain. Nothing really major, I would definitely recommend this place.

Great house for 3 families!
I, my husband, and two young children stayed at this house with both sets of grandparents for a long weekend. The location was very convenient to shopping and dining and the beach, and we could walk most places. The housing arrangement was perfect for us as there were no stairs, which was a requirement from the grandparents’ aging knees. :) It was spacious, decorated well, the beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms were newly refreshed. Even the carriage house was nice. There were a lot of things broken or not working (lights, lamps, dresser parts, kitchen/cooking items, the shower on the outdoor hose) but the property owner was very friendly and prompt to send a maintenance person right away for the important things. They even sent over pest control to spray the ants that were swarming the pool area! The 6-person golf cart was super convenient to use getting to and from the beach, and the private heated pool and lounge chairs on the patio were simply amazing. The kitchen was sparsely appointed, so if you’re planning to cook a lot, it may not work for you. But there were so many other things available for our use, like beach towels, beach chairs, a pack n play, a high chair, toddler bed rails... definitely a bonus! Also there was a hose in the driveway that allowed us to rinse off ourselves and our sandy items each day. The neighbors were kind, too. One more bad thing: I felt the cleaning staff had never ever mopped the tile floors, because all of our feet bottoms were totally black within minutes of walking around. Otherwise, the space was very clean.
We’d stay here again as a big family vacation for sure!
