The Bed Setup

1st Floor

Guest Bedroom: King Bed with Ensuite Bath

2nd Floor

Master Bedroom: King Bed with Ensuite Bath + Balcony

Guest Room: Queen Bed + Twin over Full Bunkbed with Ensuite Bath

Area Attractions:

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. Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants.

All the excitement of Destin is just minutes away: choice of watersports, golf, amusement parks, and outlet shopping.  One glimpse of Destin beaches and you're hooked. It must be the wide, white beaches and the famous emerald waters. Not to mention the fabulous fishing, the world's most beautiful beaches, addictive seafood and the full array of activities for kids of all ages and more fun to be found in Destin.

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 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 device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Great Location!
Conveniently located across from private beach area. Pool was great. Listing was accurate. I did not report it, but the driveway was flooded. (seemed to be unrelated to rainfall). This was the only inconvenience.

Great place!
The house was the perfect size for all 9 of us. Plenty of sleeping space and dining space. Every room has a bathroom and door going to the porch/balcony. The best part was the short distance to the beach! I would recommend it for the short distance to the beach and convenient location to all the restaurants and attractions!

Very comfortable
When we arrived, there was very soft, relaxing music playing on all televisions which was a very nice touch. Plenty of room for our group of 6 adults and a 7 month old. Great, quiet neighborhood. It is a very short walk to the beach with beach access right across the road. Pool was smaller than it looked in the pictures but was not crowded when we were there. We had a very nice stay.

Nice house and great location
This house was great for our family vacation. We all loved it. This house was really nice, clean, with more than enough towels needed, and I loved that everything was close by. The property manager always responded quickly with whatever questions I had. Loved it!

Wonderful break
We had a great week. The house was perfect for our group. The location was nice and beach access was a short walk. Plus the beach was private and not nearly as crowded as other beach areas. The rental company responded quickly to any of questions before and during our stay. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend this property.
