This is our third time staying with Eric and Jessica because we love their attention to detail so much! The house that we usually rent was already booked, but we trust them so much that we had NO doubts in renting a different place with them! We have not had great experiences with other properties and/or management companies in the past, and didn't want to take the gamble with somebody new. The Western Sands did not disappoint! We usually try to look for a ranch style house to avoid the stairs, but this house had a full bathroom and bedroom on the bottom floor by the kitchen, so it was not a problem for us. I loved the style and decorations. The kitchen was fully stocked with so many items that we weren't missing anything. They DO NOT pick out skimpy bathroom towels in their houses, which I really appreciate! They also provided about a dozen separate pool towels, which helps with suitcase space. It was very clean!! The overall quality of everything is just better. As far as the neighborhood goes, it is gated and nice. Pavered streets and driveways which gives it a cozy touch. We did our trip in the winter this time so it was very quiet with no traffic. We were about 4-5 minutes from the Outlet mall, which I loved! And there is a little Coffee Shop right outside the neighborhood gate on the beach road. I did notice that this neighborhood does have a community pool, but we did not use it because of our private pool, and the pool heater works great! We'll be back!

We stayed here in August and had a great trip. The weather was perfect. Beaches were beautiful property was everything I expected. I was impressed with how well the kitchen was stocked with pots, dishes, and everything we needed from baking to cooking. The kids enjoyed the pool! Would stay here again.

House was perfect! Good proximity to the beach and the golf cart was a huge plus! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for cooking. We lucked out with having perfect weather all week. It was great spending the day at the beach then coming back to the house and lounging by the pool with a cocktail. Would definitely come back next time we visit Destin!

This house was perfect for the 3 families who came together. Plenty of room for everyone. The house/host provided everything we needed to have a wonderful vacation. The host responded quickly to my messages. The golf cart that was included made it that much better! Would definitely stay here again.

We enjoy the stay

Great location in a quiet neighbor just a short golf ride away from the beach and shops ! The kitchen was fully stocked we wanted for nothing . There was plenty of extras we didn’t expect like a high hair ,portable crib, beach wagon , ice chest , pool floaters and plenty of beach towels . The beds were comfy and the linens were luxurious. We would definitely recommend .

We had 8 people and we stayed at The Lovely Western Sands for the week of June 17-24 and it was everything we could have dreamed of plus more! This was the cleanest VRBO I’ve been in and it had the most stocked kitchen! We cook a lot while staying in Destin since the wait times are so long at restaurants and we had every appliance, utensil, pan, etc that we needed! It was also nice to have extra beach towels and beach chairs. We had very disappointing weather and there were several double red flag days, so the pool saved us! My kids were obsessed with the pool…the backyard is amazing. We were also so pleased with how clean the pool stayed all week long even with storms! We also all had a such a blast with the golf cart! It was so nice getting to use it to go to nearby areas and to the beach! The location of the house was perfect with several things nearby… and the whole neighborhood is so pretty! Jessica’s communication was top notch and we look forward to hopefully booking with her again! The only very very small thing that we all noticed that we would change was how firm the beds were. Again, it wasn’t something we couldn’t deal with but we don’t prefer firm beds. But we were so tired from having fun all day that we still slept well! Thanks Jessica and we can’t wait to come back!!

My family and I have been vacationing in Destin for 10 years. This is by far our favorite place we have stayed! The pool and golf cart were so nice to have. Jessica, the owner, was always so helpful and quick to answer any questions we had. I highly recommend this beautiful house!

The Western Sands is a great value, and would highly recommend! It’s in a perfect location with it only being a few blocks away from the beach, near a gas station, several grocery stores, and a coffee shop. The deeded beach access was nice, because it was on a section of the beach that wasn’t overly crowded right between Whale Tails and Pompano Joes. This was also a perk if you want to walk down and grab a drink from either of their beach bars. The complimentary golf cart was a huge plus. It made the trips to the beach a breeze, and we enjoyed taking a nightly cruise with our pups and stopping and several places to take walks. The home was well stocked with everything that one could want. The hosts were super responsive with the couple of questions we had while we were down there.

Everything was great and as advertised. Beautiful home, great location, and a great host. Couldn’t ask for more out of a vacation rental. We had an amazing time and will stay here again!

Had 6 adults stay here Wed-Sun and this house was perfect for us. What you see in the listing is exactly what you get and more. The pool was bigger than expected and we loved spending time out there in the mornings and evenings in between the beach and trips to crab island. The house is well stocked and the beds are very comfortable (firm just how I like). The host is great, and very responsive. Overall we had a great time and would love to come back.

Western Sands house was absolutely amazing!!! Short term rentals can be hit or miss these days with some hosts being wonderful to work with and some, not so much. Jessica is very thorough and detail oriented and the house is very thoughtfully stocked and supplied with essentials for family vacations. House is newer construction and very clean. High end finishes and spacious layout make this home very accommodating for families. They include a complimentary golf cart which makes staying at the beach very enjoyable and convenient. The private pool makes the home feel very luxurious and tucked away, even though you’re just a couple minutes from the private beach access. All in all, it was a perfect stay! We were in town for a conference but plan to come back for a longer stay with our fam jam. Thank you Jessica! We loved it!

Our family loved our quick stay at the Western Sands! It was a very short, last minute trip after Spring Break crowds left. Jessica was very accommodating and worked with us, I loved her responsiveness! When we checked in, the house was very clean. Our kids jumped in the pool right away, they loved the splash pad area, that was perfect for them! The kitchen was well stocked, I always bring my large frying pan from home to use, but there was two large frying pans already there, so I didn't even have to use mine! Also, everybody got their own tile shower, I love the upgrades in the home. We slept well, which is a bonus! We will definitely be coming back!

My family enjoyed this house more than we expected. Its pretty close to the beach and the golf cart made it easy for loading up the kids. Jessica was great to communicate with, they live local so that helped out with a beach access question we had.
