Gulf view, Steps to beach, heated pool, walk to restaurants

This beautiful home is literally steps to the pristine white sandy beaches of the gulf - less than a minute walk at most, with spectacular water views from the main deck.
The charming neighborhood of crystal beach features white picket fences and brick sidewalks throughout. Decorated in coastal boho cottage chic with a quintessential "beachy" vibe. Stainless steel appliances with full kitchen. Open concept dining and living space. Huge wrap around open porches on both levels with plenty of furniture to accommodate outdoor relaxation.. watching the ocean with the gulf breeze on your face.

This beach home features 3 bedrooms: Master with king bed and en-suite bathroom on first level;
Second master on main with king bed, day bed + trundle (sleeps 2) and ensuite bathroom:
Third bedroom with Queen bed, as well as a bunk bed twin over twin (sleeps 2) and en-suite bathroom. Additional half bathroom in main living area as well.

This impeccably maintained coastal community boasts a beautiful community swimming pool for guests and residents only.
Beach chairs and umbrellas are provided for guest use, as well as a high chair and pack n play for our younger guests. Proximity to the beach (literally a 30 sec walk) makes an afternoon nap for the kids or a quick run to the house for lunch super convenient!

Located in the heart of Destin, you are just minutes from the best shopping (Destin Commons, Outlets at Miramar), and tons of restaurants including amazing waterfront dining (BoShamps, Brotulas).
Camille's café and restaurant is just a few steps away on the corner and is an awesome spot with live music most afternoons. Right adjacent is a beach gear rental shop if you're looking to rent bikes, kayaks, paddleboards and more! There are tons of activities nearby for kids such as The Waterfront, mini golf, water parks etc. Parasailing, jet skiing and deep sea fishing charters are also close nearby.

A couples Getaway

I was very disappointed with the overall cleanliness of the home. I only use part of the home since it was only my husband and I. The home is a 3 bedroom Home. We only use 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. of the home. But some of the restrooms in the home were not clean and the sheets on the bed should have been replaced months ago they were dirty and needed to be replaced badly, even after washing they were so thin and very warned they still didn't look clean. The mattress in master bedroom was soiled and stained. I actually had to take sheets and mattress cover off and wash before sleeping that night. The oven was not clean and the overall condition of home needed some work. The Pics on website look great I think they were taking a little while back. I did Speak to the owner and she apologized and said that they were replacing cleaning company and that they would fix problem for future renters. She also mention they would be renovating some of the home in January. Needles to say I believe when these issues are fixed the home will be a lovely home to rent. Location is really good your across the street from beach and you have a wonderful coffee house in the corner. I hope that all of these issues are resolved soon.

Amazing and Relaxing!

This house was everything we wanted and more! From the direct view of the beach, to Camille’s coffee across the street, to the comfortable amenities of the house, it was a true vacation! The house had things we didn’t even think were important, like comfortable beach chairs and umbrellas to use on the beach, and sand toys for the kids. These have now become a staple in our vacation wants! Thank you for maintaining a clean house! This is a very big deal when traveling with children. It was amazing and we will definitely be back!
