The Sun Garden is a one-level brick home, decorated in bright, inviting colors. It's garden-like landscaping includes magnolias, wisteria, azaleas, palms, bamboo, blueberry bushes, and pecan, pear, banana and fig trees! Have your morning coffee or evening libation sitting out by your own private swimming pool near a palm tree. Grill a burger or two on the gas grill. You might even pluck a ripe fig or two in season. But above all, kick back and relax.

The home sleeps up to 10, featuring a large master bedroom with a king bed for sleeping comfort, ceiling fan, TV/DVD/VCR, telephone and private bath. The Pineapple Sundae bedroom has a queen bed, ceiling fan, clock radio and TV/VCR. The Dolphin bedroom has one twin bed and a combination futon/bunk bed (futon on bottom/bunk on top) plus a TV/DVD/VCR and selection of movies. There is a queen sleeper sofa in the living room, and a portable crib is available. The home has a full kitchen; dining area; family room with TV/DVD/VCR and books, movies and games; and a laundry room.

Access to a beautiful white-sand beach is just a short 2-block stroll away, near Pompano Joe's seafood restaurant, right on the Gulf. You’ll find Chinese, Mexican and Thai restaurants around the corner, right in the neighborhood. There's also quick access to the best restaurants, golf courses, and hot spots in Destin. And lets not forget the largest designer outlet mall in the US only 2.5 miles away.

Small pets are welcome in this pet-friendly home. There is a good-size gated, fenced-in yard for pets to romp in and enjoy their vacation with your family.

So linger beneath a tropical palm near your own private pool, stroll the squeaky white sand beaches or swim in the gulf's warm surf. The Sun Garden will charm you into a definite return vacation!
