About this property

Luxury Beachfront Home, Swimming Pool, Kayak, Paddle Boards & Free Chair Set Up

Walk out onto your own private beach!
Our property is located on the oceanfront, quiet, private, snow-white sands of Crystal Beach. You will enjoy complimentary daily beach chair & umbrella service setup! March through October. This is a private beach, NO one can set up their beach chairs behind or on either side of you. We own the entire beach area from the deck to the waterline! Enjoy our beach-side decks, grill, swimming pool, WiFi and soaker tub in the primary suite. The 3 levels with decks and balconies on each floor provide the ultimate family privacy. This west end property has amazing sunrises and sunset views, plus allows you to enjoy the view of the crystal clear water and snow-white sand beach! It’s perfect for family vacations, reunions, getaways, and a child-friendly environment. As the owners, we fell in love with this property not only for it’s beachfront access and amazing sunset views but because of the 1st floor that can be used as a studio apartment to make it another rental property or used as a 4th bedroom because of the closet, TV, dresser, an "en suite" bathroom, kitchenette, a queen sofa sleeper, a full-size ice machine, with 3 floor to ceiling windows and a privacy door that closes off the room. When that door is closed, there is a separate door in the hallway which leads outside to the back deck and down to the beach that can be used to "not" disturb the guests in this bedroom. So we can accommodate up to 11 people making this property a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom beachfront rental in Destin as described in each photo. Garage not included. We provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap and lotion in all the bathrooms. There are outside security cameras in the front and the back of the unit for your protection and the protection of the property. There is No noise decibel monitors. Please Do No tamper with or disable. We also provide toilet paper, paper towels, dish and dish-washer soap and laundry soap, trash bags and additional cleaning supplies for our guests to use just during their stay. Plus, we have spices, sugar, flour, cooking oil & most everything you need to cook with. Sorry no condiments. (PLEASE NO PETS ALLOWED/ NO SMOKING

Amazing

What a great property! We enjoyed everything about our stay. It seems that you thought of every little thing that we would need to make us feel right at home. Our intention for this trip was to relax and enjoy the beach and we did just that. The views of the sunset from the second story deck were spectacular. Thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven with us. We would love to visit again.

Perfect getaway!

The townhome had everything you could possibly need! Tons of beach toys, kayak and paddle boards, beach towels…you can leave all of that at home! The beach is so close that the kids can be out on the sand but still visible (and within yelling distance!) so you can enjoy your morning coffee on the deck while they are out playing! We had a great time!

FANTASTIC! A++++++++

Absolutely in love with Crystal Beach and this fantastic ocean front beach house. The house was very clean, comfortable beds, plenty of room for our group of 8. The private beach with included daily umbrella & chair set up was absolutely perfect. I watched the chair rental company ask people who didn't belong to leave the private beach area!! Having access to the Kayak's & Paddle Boards made beach play even more fun!!! Oh, and each bathroom was stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, EVEN LOTION!! Beach towel and chairs provided as well -- all in great condition! Nice welcome gift which I used EVERY ITEM. The Dodson's were fantastic with all our requests/communications. We did the fishing excursion they recommended in the welcome letter and it was PERFECTION!!! We rented golf cart and scooters right down the street and had a great time tooling around Crystal Beach and beyond! Really fantastic location -- 5 minutes or less to great shopping, including grocery -- all accessible by golf cart! DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK THIS PROPERTY. I WILL BE BACK!!

Best stay in Florida!

We have always gone to pcb but the last time we booked there it was a disaster. The property was not as described. We were so pleasantly surprised with our stay in Destin. The property was in the perfect place. Very beautiful. The only not really problem was that we had basically a family reunion next two town homes over and they took over the deck. The property was so private for everyone in our group. The studio on the first floor was great for a newly engaged couple. The access to paddle boards really was great! We walked to Camille’s every day which is great! You really are in a very central spot. Check in was so easy. We will return.

Excellent Beachfront Townhouse

Wonderful rental that is set up to truly let you unwind and enjoy the beautiful beach. The lower outdoor deck was a favorite space as well as the beach chair service provided. Just a few steps to the beach and water! The townhouse is updated and setup well to meet all of the guests needs. Several beach towels and beach gear also pro king the host! We will definitely be back to Destin and this will be our preferred rental on our next trip.

Wonderful location, amenities, and LOCATION. This was really a fantastic family property and had ALL we could ask for and need (espresso machine maybe??? JK) Truly thank you for sharing your home with our family. We would not hesitate for a second to not stay here again in the future if we ever return. Note NO hot tub but the tub offers a better private version and NO kids ;)

Everything was perfect!

We couldn't be happier with our rental experience. The unit was spotless & had all the comforts of home. All of the extras make a huge difference when you are the renter. Not having to go out & buy shampoo, soap, spices, trash bags, toilet paper....etc is such a relief. Who wants to go buy all that stuff on vacation? I got a little too much sun on my first day & was so happy to see every bathroom stocked with even aloe! I forgot my razor. Guess what? Every bathroom had razors, toothpaste & toothbrushes. The unit is beautifully decorated with quality appliances & furniture. We had absolutely no complaints & would absolutely stay in this exact spot again. Thank you for a wonderful & relaxing week.
