The Bed Setup:

1st Floor
Master Bedroom: King Bed
Guest Bedroom: 2 Twin Beds

2nd Floor
Guest Loft Bedroom: 2 Twin Beds

Area Attractions: 

Nearby are 6 miles of paved trails - perfect for both walking and biking. Pretty, unspoiled Henderson State Park is also just down the road!

It's a terrific residential area, yet close to restaurants and activities in Destin. Walk the 300 yards to the beach or venture over to nearby restaurants or shopping areas. 

Close by is Destin Commons, a beautifully landscaped, pedestrian-friendly area and a great family venue where children will love to play in the interactive water fountains. Also, for the younger guests, a nautically/pirate-themed outdoor playground features a 1,750 square foot soft play area with various creatures from the sea, slides, and a treasure chest!  Destin Commons also has a mini train for the kids. Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants, including Godiva Chocolates, AMC Movie Theaters, and Bass Pro Shop.

If you are near Miramar Beach, the snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Dolphin Reef, deployed in 2017.  Located just 685 feet straight out from the Miramar Regional Public Beach access (by Pompano Joe's), it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of the permitted sea bottom. The Dolphin Reef is at a depth of 12-20 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation devices when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

So great, we came back!

We came to this beautiful property last year for Spring Break. Loved how it fit perfectly for our family of four. As our teens have gotten a year older, the extra bedroom was perfect for privacy. Very close to the beach and walking distance to stores and restaurants.

Nice house, quick walk to the beach and shopping

Nice place to stay for a beach vacation. Close to the beach. Recommend if you have a tent for the beach get there early to find a space otherwise you have to rent an umbrella. Easy walk to beach shop and some other restaurants and shopping. Enough linens for the family and nice laundry room to do laundry for the family’s clothes.

Great Location and well kept property

We truly enjoyed our stay. The beach and pool were both convenient walks and the house had everything you could want. The property was well kept and the neighborhood nice and quiet. The pool was heated, and we met a lot of nice people there. The beach access was a couple minute walk straight down the sidewalk. Easy walk or drive to grocery and other shopping, but not in the middle of the commotion.

Excellent experience

Love the home! Clean, comfortable, and 3 minute walk to the beach. Destin shops are walkable from the house (Barnes and Nobles, Starbucks, etc.). Only minor complaint was that the code did not work when we arrived. We would definitely consider re-booking.
