Short guides from the owner: the walk to the beach, the pools, and the seasons in Destin.

  1. The private pool at deck level, loungers along a white picket fence and palms

    Four pools, one neighborhood

    The private pool at the cottage and the three more pools in Destin Pointe, plus the splash pad and hot tub. Where they are and the rules worth knowing.

  2. Aerial of Destin Pointe with Sugar Sand Cottage marked at the left of the lakeside row, a route along the street and down past the beach club pool, labelled Pool #2, to the Gulf beach, an 8 to 10 minute walk

    The walk from the cottage to the Gulf

    How far the beach really is from Sugar Sand Cottage, which way to go, and what to take, with the route marked on an aerial of Destin Pointe.

  3. Lake view from the deck with sea oats and palms along the shore

    Winter in Destin, for snowbirds and long stays

    What November to February is like in Destin, from the weather to the events, and why a week or a month at the cottage suits the quiet season.
