I think this is the Sunkissed Cottage we stayed in. The facilities were good and the location was great. Our family traditionally gets together at Destin over Thanksgiving. We all enjoy seeing each other, eating in and going out. Our walks on the beach were very good and we were able to go wading. Some of us - especially the kids - actually went in swimming.
Home away from home

This house is located in a great area!! Close to everything. Short walk to the beach as well. House has a great layout on the inside and very roomy. Only thing we didnt like was the fact that there was no direct access to the pool from the house. Also wish the house had two ac units. One was unable to really cool the upstairs, and especially the third floor room. We went at a time when it was not super hot, so the summer time would be worse.
Great vacation with the entire family!

This was our second trip to Destin and our parent's fifth or sixth trip. We have always stayed in a Newman-Dailey property, but this was the first time at the kiss. After driving nearly 800 miles through the night with a 1 and 4 year old, we were very happy to find that the check-in was once again quick and we were able to get into the house without any delalys.
Once there, we found the house was spacious, very clean, and the beds were comfortable. Having two master bedrooms was great for us and our parents and the third full bath was also helpful when getting ready in the morning or cleaning up after a long day of playing at the beach and swimming in the pool. The room on the third floor was a little warm, but we were able to adjust some of the vents and use a fan to keep it comfortable.
We were a little concerned that traffic may be loud, but the noise was barely noticable inside and traffic was pretty light since it was late September. With the beach just a short walk away, we spent nearly every morning at the beach and the evenings relaxing by the pool.
Overall, we had a great and relaxing week. The only concern we had during the entire trip was one afternoon we returned from the beach to find a new chair in the living room. We assumed the Newman-Dailey staff had brought it while we gone, but were a little concerned that other people were in the house with our personal belongings without our knowledge while we were not there. However, we would still recommend this house to any family.
Wonderful experience

Very pleased with every thing about the accommodations and service. One problem was in finding the sheets to make up the trundle bed Found set of sheets on the sofa in the living room This was the only problem Everything else was perfect.

This was our second stay at Kiss. We love the house, although its probably time to redecorate. Had problems with the septic system but amy took care of them right away.
Very enjoyable

Nice house though the floor in the den was not completely cleaned. Short walk to beach. Loved the pool and 2 big bedrooms upstairs. Quiet. Very close to restaurants and grocery.
We had a wonderful time in Destin at the Sunkiss Cottage!

We spent one week at the Sunkissed Cottage in Destin. Our stay was so nice. The house was beautiful, clean and well taken care of. We were within walking distance of the beaches. Everything worked perfectly in the house and one night the microwave broke (you need this with 6 kids!), and Newman brought us a new one before 9 the next morning. Excellent service. The location was in middle of everything - food, movies, entertainment. Plus, the pool was heated and clean. Our kids had a lot of fun searching the house for games, books, puzzles and DVD movies that are there.
Relaxing!!

We enjoyed out stay at the SunKissed Cottage. This was our first booking with your company. We were pleased with the location and the room the cottage offered. There were some minor repairs which needed attention but for the most part it was an enjoyable and relaxing vacation with some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. My family vacations at Destin every year and this was a great vacation of us. We would recommend using Newman Dailey again for our future vacations at Destin. Oh yeah, the fireworks were spectacular as well.
The minor repairs were as follows:
The carpet upstairs needed shampooing. Also, the widow's peek room on the third floor was very hot and therefore, we could not use it.
Thanks,
Kathy
Very nice'

We have been fortunate to come to Destin every year for the past 9! We have stayed in many houses. Usually we are with a party of 10. This time just 4 and sunkissed was perfect! The pool was so nice & clean. The backyard was big & comfortable and the gas grill was nice..
This house was great for two couples but more than three would be pushing it! As the 3rd bedroom gets used for easier pool access. Kitchen items were a bit scarse as far as spices, coffee filters ect. Things you don't want to think about spending money for on vacay. The road was never loud considering it was a busy one! Very close to the beach and shopping! We loved it and will be back soon!
The perfect spot

We stayed at the Sunkissed Cottage in October and it had everything we needed and more. The kids even swam in the pool. It was all the space we needed for everyone to be comfortable and a grill for easy dinner it was close to the beach and we all had a great time.
Fabulous 4th!!

We loved Sunkissed Cottage. The house was large, and comfortable, and very close to the beach. We will definitely return.
Need's a thorough maintenace overhaul
Reviewed on Thursday, August 20, 2009
This was our first time renting through Newman Daily. The pictures on the internet made this house appear better than it was. All the upstairs ceiling fans were loud and the master bedroom's fan was inoperable. Maintenance came to fix it, but left saying he would return the next day with a new fan, but never showed up. A major disappointment was the bonus room upstairs. It was advertised as a great place to get away and take a nap, etc. The problem was it was very hot up there and again the ceiling fan was not working properly. A more comfortable couch or trundle would be better.
The pool was nice. We used it alot. The fence around the yard had some boards out of place and the gate needed work by the aforementioned maintenace guy in order for it to work properly.
This house would greatly benefit from a thorough cleaning and updating the decor. The countertop tile in the kitchen and the carpet in the lower bedroom would be first on my list to update.
I guess my expectations were a little to high regarding the house but Destin was a wonderful place to visit and we will certainly be coming back next year, just not to this house.

Let me start by saying the folks with Newman-Dailey were wonderful. Very easy to work with, explained all the details making the reservation process worry free. Sunkissed Cottage was a great place to stay. We had 4 adults and 2 teenagers and it accomodated us perfectly. Walking distance to the beach, restaurants etc. Only complaint, and it's a small one, the cottage sits on a pretty busy street, other than that we had wonderful time.
Nice

My wife and two children, age 1 and 5 absolutely loved our stay here. The house is only a few minute walk from the beach. The pool was perfect for a family of 4. My one year old loved the widow's watch for his sleeping quarters. Would highly recommend staying here to anyone and hopefully plan on coming back sometime soon.
Grandkids loved the pool

Sunkissed Cottage was delightful. The pool was perfect for our three grandchildren. (We adults enjoyed it also)
We all enjoyed the house and would stay there again. It is a great location in the center of everything Destin has to offer.
