It is fun to stay and play right in the yard on the dock. Fishing, swimming, canoeing, paddle-boarding are all right there for your enjoyment. Bicycling, walking, rollerblading along the islands 2 mile sidewalk is an everyday event. Our canal leads directly out to the Destin Harbor, where the charter fishing boats are docked, from there you can go into the gulf or the bay or anchor right by the Destin Bridge at the popular crab island!

Amazing Home

Could not have rented a better home. We absolutely loved the home, the accommodations, the location...proximity to everything we needed. We have 6 adult couples that travel together several times a year. This was one of our favorites rented in the last several years. Ashley was a fantastic host. Great communication and easy check-in/ check

This property was immaculate when we arrived. Everyone had wonderful rooms and accommodations was a very large house. We brought our boat with us and having a dock right outside really made our vacation special with just boating minutes away to crab Island.

Great location

House was very nice and in a great neighborhood. Owner was very nice, attentive, and easy to deal with. House is only about a 10 minute ride from many restaurants and the canal in the backyard makes it easy to get to crab island by boat. Our group of 14 had plenty of room to sleep comfortably and we had a great stay.

Great Location

The location was perfect. We brought our boat and it was a short ride to Crab Island (which is where we spent most of our time). The house was definitely large enough for 15 of us. The pictures on the listing do need updating as I was expecting a little different. I personally like softer beds, but it wasn’t unbearable. Overall, great trip.

Amazing vacation

Very nice place with lots of room for all 16 of us to relax and sleep comfortably. There were a couple of issues with appliances but Sally were able to repair quickly. Sally also found me a secure place to keep our boat trailers while we enjoyed our vacation. We spent most of our time on crab island but our time at the house was enjoyed sitting around the dock and balcony of the boat house. We will definitely be staying at this beautiful house again next year.

Wedding weekend crab island

Perfect location, fabulous house

The house was fabulous! Clean, well appointed, everything we needed. Plenty of space for three generations to relax together and to spread out when we needed to. We fished in the canal, enjoyed the covered deck, walked to the beach, and rented a pontoon boat to fish in the bay and head out to Crab Island. The location is perfect: a short walk to a gorgeous beach, a quick drive to so many good restaurants, and a lovely boat ride or water taxi to the restaurants on the harbor. Sally was helpful and accommodating. We would vacation in Destin and stay here again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend.

Reunion 2022

We had an amazing time! Sally made sure we could get in at check in time and the house surpassed our expectations. The outside upstairs covered patio is the only one like it in that area. We were able to sit outside and watch enjoy the weather the whole time. And we fished off the dock, which was a blast too!

There was plenty of room for our group to gather and enjoy meals on the large covered deck, ample parking, plenty of kitchen utensils and cookware. Everything was clean and comfortable. Check in and out was clear and easy. Beach access was unclear prior to arrival, but ended up being only a few blocks away. Overall it was a great property.
