"Great vacation home - Beautiful vacation home for our family of 4 as well as another family of 4 with teens. The house felt very spacious and was very efficient. Location to beach was great and use of the golf cart was perfect. Several issues we encountered (grill, dishwasher, spa) were addressed immediately and professionally! This house provided us a wonderful vacation full of memories."

"Sundancer was Absolutely Wonderful - The house is exactly as it appears in the pictures - no tricky camera work! It's HUGE, beautifully appointed and incredibly clean! The property managers responded right away whenever we had a question and took care of the two minor issues we had immediately!
We will 100% stay here again!"

"Great house! - The house was great to accommodate 14 people (multi generational family). We paid to heat the pool which was a great during a cold weather spell. The location in the gated community with a short drive, walk or bike ride to the beach was perfect. Golf cart fit 6 and there were also two bikes provided. Lots of beach chairs and toys to use during our stay. Plenty of towels provided unlike other rentals we’ve stayed at where it was one towel per person. We did have one issue with dryer while there but maintenance took care of it immediately. The cleaning of the house could be improved upon (better swept floors prior to arrival) but that was minimal and we did not let it impact our stay. Overall I would recommend this house!"

"Great family getaway! - This was a wonderful house for a large group of adults. Plenty of comfortable large beds with private bathrooms, well-stocked kitchen and provisions for a long weekend. The views were lovely and everything was within walking distance. The property manager was accessible and helpful as well. We would definitely plan a repeat vacation to Sundancer."

"GREAT HOUSE - We stayed at Sundancer 9/7-9/10 and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The house was stunning, beautiful views of the water, super clean! They had all the amenities that we needed. Koy from maintenance was extremely helpful whenever I had a question about something. We all would recommend this property 100%!!!!!"

"Great Spot - This house was absolutely beautiful! Great sunset, views, great location, and the biggest flex was the outdoor patio. My family and I enjoyed cooking on the grill and sitting by the pool late into the evening hours. I highly suggest renting the spot if you’re looking for an awesome family vacation."

Stayed June 2023
"Great house great location - This was a great property for our group of 16. Great location with easy access to everything. Close to the beach and the golf cart made it easy for transportation. The kitchen was fully equipped for our family that loves to cook. The kids loved the bunk room with the TV’s in each bunk. The outside was a great entertainment area. Outdoor cooking while kids swam worked perfectly. The house has plenty of space for large groups. Response from management when something went wrong was very quick. We would come back again!!"

Stayed January 2023
"Great vacation spot - This is such a beautiful home with plenty of room for a big group. The pool and hot tub were the highlight of our stay. We were there in January and had the pool heated which was well worth the added cost to do so. Beds were comfortable and everything looked clean. The bathrooms were amazing and the master shower was huge! With such a large group having 2 sets of washer/dryers was awesome as well as an extra mini fridge and beverage fridge. Plenty of dining ware, cookware and appliances. We even utilized the outdoor grill and bar outside for preparing meals. The location was a /min golf cart ride to the ocean with plenty of parking space and shopping/restaurants within minutes as well. Great location for multi-activity needs. Minor improvements would be to have pot holders to get food out of the oven and a vacuum that worked to help clean up after ourselves. I would rent here again if we have another large group vacation together."
Stayed January 2023
"Perfect Stay! - The house was beautiful and central to everything in town- the beach, restaurants, shopping, etc. We weren't able to find the back community exit to the beach until the day we left, but it's super close and very convenient with the golf cart that was included. The whole family was blown away by the house. The pool, hot tub, fire pit, grill, and view were amazing perks. We appreciated the quick communication and hospitality- especially when seeking a later check-out time. There were beach chairs, and plenty of towels. We are hoping to come back next year!"

"Amazing Home & Vacation - We all had an amazing time in this beautiful home. Location to beach, restaurants, and grocery store was great. Kids and adults alike all enjoyed the hot tub and pool. Community pool was never crowded and we sometimes went over there. Relaxing and constant fun."
Stayed July 2022
"GREAT family vacation! - Sundancer is a beautiful home! Check-in was a breeze, received the code on time, as promised. Did have a few snafus with some of the upkeep...a few of the bathrooms had some bulbs that were out, only 9 wristbands for Club Destiny and we had 13 guests, and not enough remotes for all the TVs in the bunk bedroom. We didn't get to use the golf cart much, which was a bummer....had issues with it charging and that took a few days to clear up so we only had use of it for 2 days. If you are staying at the end of the month and your stay carries over to the next month, be careful! We got locked out of the community for a while because they change the code each month. Would definitely stay here again- loved the pool and hot tub a LOT! It really is a great vacation spot- could only be better if it was right on the beach!!"
Stayed June 2022
"An Amazing Week with Family - We had an absolutely amazing week with our family. The house was beautiful and was able to accommodate our group of 16. Every question/inquiry was promptly answered.
On our check-in day, we arrived at 4:00 pm and the cleaning team was still there. We had to wait 15 minutes for them to complete the cleaning. Also, there are only nine wristbands to access the community amenities- as a group of 16 we were never able to use the community pool or theater together which was a bit disappointing. Access to the public beach was also a bit farther away than we were led to believe.
Even with those minor inconveniences, we throughly enjoyed our week and would net hesitate to stay in this property again."

"Lots of room - Our family loved the house it was awesome. It was close to beach and on rainy days it was nice to be able to use the private movie room just for our family.
The playground within this housing area was easy for us to take the kids. Daniel our point person was quick to respond with any questions we had. A few disappointing items: the oven did not work the entire time but Dan did bring a air fryer for us to use. The hot tub did not get hot enough for our group. Also we a rough time figuring out the remotes with the main level tv. A good fix would be a card with written instructions (we had to call Dan with this also) we did see two 3” sized
Cockroaches on the wall in the main room and in one of the bedrooms"

"Family Vacation in Destin - The pictures did not even do this property justice. It was even even more beautiful and spacious than we expected! We had 8 adults and 7 children in the house for a one week vacation in Destin. There was more than enough room for our group of 15. The outdoor area was beautiful - the kids loved the pool and the adults loved the hot tub! The location was great, only a few minutes to walk to the beach. It is away from the more touristy area of Destin which was also nice. Highly recommend this home!"
Stayed February 2022
"Wedding Weekend Extravaganza - We threw a destination wedding weekend and after researching SEVERAL properties, realized Sundancer would be the best fit for us. The absolutely breathtaking views from the back patio overlooking the lake was the perfect backdrop for our unit mate ceremony ans reception for our family and close friends.
The home having 6 bedrooms allows half of guests to stay with us and the pool and hot-tub were a huge hit with the kids. With it being February, we obviously opted to heat them both and it was so worth it as the beach and ocean were still too cold for swimming.
Our communication with Ellen the property manager was great. She responded quickly ans answered all of per questions. Mark our maintainance person got back to us with any minor questions or issues we had once we checked in and everything was perfect! The beds were incredibly comfortable. The house was very clean and with 17 people showering, we never ran out of hot water! Bonus!!
We are already talking about coming back next year to the Desrin area and would definitely consider renting Sundancer again.
5 stars! 10 out of 10! 2 Thumbs Up!"

"Amazing! - This property was perfect for our friends and I! It was the perfect amount of space to feel together but also have our own space and not feel on top of each other.

If we return to Destin and have not outgrown Sundancer we will book it again. Ellen and Daniel were especially helpful and quick to respond as was 850 in general. Communication with the company was superb. KB"

"Excellent Place!! - We could not have asked for a better place to stay, this place is EXACTLY as the pictures show and absolutely beautiful! The only thing that could have made it better is a ceiling fan and pull down shade on the lower level patio where the table and chairs are, this gets extremely warm in the afternoon. This is only a suggestion, the place was unbelievably amazing even with this. The customer service from the maintenance person was also absolutely amazing, they were very attentive and went above and beyond to ensure we didn’t have any questions or assistance during our stay. We had 9 adults and 4 children (7, 7, 9, 9) and each couple had their own room and bathroom so whenever felt on top of each other. We barely could get the kids out of the pool. Very close to the beach and a few great restaurants however there is no need to leave the house because it’s so accommodating! Cannot say enough good things, we will be back for sure!"

"Family Vacation - The Sundancer is an amazing vacation home. After having to cancel our Disney trip last year due to covid and my son- in- law being deployed. We decided to rent this beautiful property so we could all celebrate finally being together. My grandchildren said it was more than they had expected and spent their entire vacation in the beautiful pool. All 17 of us had the most perfect, relaxing vacation ever. The house was plenty big enough, comfortable, and never felt crowded. Any questions we had about the property were immediately answered. The people at the management company are amazing and very friendly. This property was such a wonderful place that we are all looking into renting it again in the very near future."

"Made my daughter’s wedding even more special - We chose the Sundance because it was close to the beach, had a pool and was large enough (and had good bed and bath configuration) to house some family and friends who attended the wedding. We also wanted to host a couple of meals during the wedding weekend for about 40 people. The indoor and outdoor space was perfect. After the wedding we enjoyed just spending time together by the pool or going to the beach. The pool and beach amenities were plentiful and a nice surprise. I didn’t have to buy one noodle, inner tube or beach chair. That never happens.
Ellen and Daniel at 850 Vacations were outstanding with their communications and willingness to answer questions. We had a minor issue with the hot tub not getting hot but Daniel was quick to respond and came a couple of times until it was working correctly. Thank you so much for that!
Staying at the Sundance, and the experience we had with 850 Vacations had a huge role in making my daughter’s wedding, and the week that followed, such an incredible and memorable week in Destin!"

"The Sundancer property was everything we wanted! - The Sundancer Property was an excellent choice for a week-long vacation. It was located in a gated neighborhood with community center (including a pool, tennis courts, and weight room), the property’s own pool, hot tub and fire pit on the back patio and was just a short golf cart ride from restaurants, shops and the beach. If staying in Destin, the Sundancer is a wonderful place for you and your large group to enjoy!"

"High end house with an amazing view - From the beginning check in went extremely smooth and we were able to start enjoying the property right away. House was fully stocked with everything we needed for our stay including beach chairs, sand toys, bicycles and other fun stuff for the kids to do. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone. All bedrooms were large and had their own en-suite bathrooms. Downstairs was much larger in person than in the pictures as well. I would say only problems we had which were very minor was that the beverage cooler didn’t get cold enough in the kitchen and the grill really didn’t cook food evenly. Pool heater had a malfunction but Daniel from management was there to fix it within 10 minutes. Overall our experience was that everyone had a great time and the house was amazing.

"Great Girls' Trip - We were thrilled to see the house matched the photos. Ellen at the property management company was incredibly helpful. The house was really clean. Daniel the maintenance contact was also helpful and patient with our questions.
Everyone was very happy with the house and excited to stay in such a nice place. The location was fantastic - close to grocery stores, restaurants, and the beach. Super quiet at night, and the house itself seems solidly built, which helped keep some noises to a minimum. The kitchen was perfect, and we had enough dishes, pots, and such to operate sufficiently.
Paying the additional fee for the hot tub and pool to be heated was worth every single penny since temps were lower than hoped for while we were there. The fire pit was a great touch, too. (Did not use the grill this time.) Everyone had an amazing time. We hope to schedule another trip and will definitely look to rent Sundancer again."

They had all the supplies for all of us, we were a group of 20. I loved the house, view, though the weather wasn’t that great we still enjoyed the heated pool. Manager was available and one complain I would give is the pool alarm which is kind of annoying at times and we were unable to turn it off. Overall we had a blast and a memorable house and trip for my sons birthday."

"Fantastic house, location was awesome and that view was amazing! - The house is beautiful, comfortable, very clean and well kept. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need. There is plenty of parking space in the driveway.
The outdoor living space was just as nice as the indoor space. I think we spent as much time outside as we did inside. The lake is beautiful and there is an almost constant breeze coming off of the lake. The pool and hot tub were awesome. The outdoor grill area was great-we did a lot of cooking outside. The beach is not far away, just a short golf cart ride away! The neighborhood is beautiful, peaceful and quiet. It was perfect for our family!

"Great House - We took our family to Destin for our 50th anniversary and loved every minute of it. The kids said mom you did good. The house was everything we hoped we would find in a VRBO vacation house. We even got to meet the owners. Seemed like very nice people. Didn't go all day to the beach but really enjoyed the nice pool. It was about 4 blocks to the beach but having it on the lake was a great plus. In the evening we got a nice breeze from the lake. It helps not having cement all around you. Didn't have any trouble with anything inside the house. The grill wasn't the best. Couldn't get a even heat. Either high flames or hardly any heat. The thermostat wasn't working either.but this was a small problem to our family. All in all we were very pleased and would book the house again. The booking agency was very friendly and gave us all the information we needed in a timely matter. If you have 12 families members or over consider this house. You won't be disappointed."
Stayed July 2017
"Large group vacation - We had a great time here. The place is well stocked with kitchen items (we brought things we thought we needed just in case) that are needed while on a week vacation. Inside was spacious and we all enjoyed having our own bathrooms. One downfall was that each bedroom was taken so there wasn't a half bath that someone could go use while taking a break from outside/pool. We would have to go to our own room and in this case some had to go to the third floor. This was just a minor inconvenience, but would have been nice for a half bath to be on the ground level.
The outdoor space was great. The grill, seating and pool were a big hit for our group and really made it more enjoyable. This location is really close to the beach and you don't really have to go through any traffic to get there. We needed to take vehicles because we had so much stuff (9 kids total), but that wasn't a big deal if you get to the beach early.
One downfall was a leak from the dehumidifier, but that was handled with class by the management staff. The unit was fixed promptly and without inconvenience to our group. We actually didn't even know when the repair person came.
All-in-all it was a great experience and we would (and might) continue to book a yearly trip at this house."
