Summary:
Welcome to SolMate!

"Awesome place to stay. Close to anything you'd want to do, and just a short walk/golf cart drive to the beach. Great communication and very friendly host! I will stay again." – Matthew, ‘23

Hi there! We're Matt and Sarah, and we're thrilled to offer you a stay at SolMate, our cherished beach retreat. You'll fall in love with this property for its unique split layout, the friendly neighborhood vibes, our FREE 6 passenger golf cart & Bikes, and its closeness to the beach!

The Space:

It's an ideal setup for any group dynamic looking for a serene escape to the sugar white sands of the Emerald Coast!

"The complimentary use of a golf cart made getting around easy. Lastly, the heated pool made for memorable times at the beach house. We would absolutely return to Sol-Mate." - John

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.

"Our family of 14 absolutely loved our stay. We had toddlers, teens, and adults. Everything was just as described in the listing." – Kim

We can't wait to host you and share the magic of SolMate. Book now and discover your own slice of paradise! - Matt and Sarah

The Neighborhood:
This beautiful beach house is a short two blocks from public beach access, as well as an equal distance to the heart of Destin where you can find plenty of entertainment, food, and shopping. This is in Crystal Beach, Destin voted the most beautiful beach in North America 4 years in a row.

Getting Around:
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. You can definitely take a short walk to the beach, and it is almost always easier than driving around looking for parking!

Other Things to Note:
• SolMate is pet friendly! Just pay the $200 pet fee before check-in and you can bring up to 2 dogs.
• Golf cart is not available for use for those 25 years or younger. Valid Insurance & Drivers License are required
• Please give us a 24-hour notice for pool heating so we can get it just right prior to your arrival.

• Checkout: 10:00 AM
• Self check-in with keypad

Interaction with Guests:
We are always available for our guests anytime before and during your trip. It is highly encouraged to read our listing in detail for any questions about the space, location, and amenities. We ask, please, for NO text message communication as you will not receive a response. Our strong preference is communication directly through your booking platform so that we have all the details of your trip to make assisting you a breeze.

If you're a first time traveler, please download the app from your booking platform for ease of access to your trip details & communication.

For more immediate needs and emergencies please place a phone call to Matthew (and be sure to know the logistics of your trip such as the dates and location). We can be reached most times of the day, but ask for no late night contact-we will do our absolute best to take care of any needs and questions as soon as they arise!

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.

Had a great stay at SolMate - plenty of room for our #hurrication party of 12, the added carriage house was a huge plus. Easy walk to the beach, had everything we needed for our group. Thanks!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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 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!

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!
