About this property

Cute 2/2 condo - BEACH SERVICE IS BACK! - TWO KING BEDS and hall bunks

Hi Vacation Hunter!
Our condo, that we call the Destin Dawghouse, is a great getaway so you can rest and relax!
You will not think about the hustle and bustle while you are relaxing on the gulf view balcony watching the water. Our condo is just steps to the famous sugar white sand of Destin, where you can continue to 'just do nothing'. We don't even put shoes on to walk over to to the beach!
Our two bedrooms have a king size bed, flat screen tv and and its own attached bathroom. We have extra hall bunk beds for the kids. Our condo sleeps 4 adults and 2 children.
The kitchen is fully equipped should you decide to eat in.
*************From March 1 to October 31 we offer beach service (umbrella and two chairs set up for you on the beach by Twilight Beach Service)************
We love those guys! We are the only condo in our complex that offers this perk to our guests - because we love having the service when we visit! Check-in is at 4:00** but you may begin using our beach chairs as early as 10 am on the date of arrival.

Our complex has a small swimming pool for the kids. The deepest section is 5 feet. Next to it is a hot tub that seats about 8.
The community bbq pits and a picnic table is just below our balcony.
We keep beach toys in the condo for your use. Just pack your swimsuit, sunscreen and towel and you are ready to get away!
If shopping therapy is your form of relaxation, we are near all the hot spots of Destin shopping! Fishing and other off-beach family activities are also close by. If fresh air is your thing, there is a great walk/jog/bike palm tree-lined trail right out front.
What to do besides enjoy our wonderful beach...: This property is located in the perfect place to pile on great beach memories! This Crystal Beach neighborhood is simply charming with quiet palm tree lined streets and no high rise resorts. Not only can you play in the glorious white sand on the beach, but if you're up for it, you can enjoy other water sports such as taking surf lessons at All Aboard Surf School, which is right at your beach access point. Fellas, don't forget to plan a day for deep sea fishing or head to Bass Pro Shop while the ladies go shopping at the Shoppes at Paradise Key and Destin Commons, which are about a mile away from the condo. Silver Sands Outlet shopping is a short drive away. There is a jogging/bike path right in front of the property that you can use to stroll on for fun or to go to popular eating spots such as The Crab Shack, Beach Walk Cafe, Camille's Sidewalk Cafe. Last but not least, squeeze in some fun at the Big Kahuna's Water and Adventure Park riding water slides or go-carts or playing a round

You can shop till you drop!: Should you wish to explore what the local area has to offer, you'll find an abundance of choices. Sidewalks line scenic 98 for walking, running or bike riding. We are a short 2 mile drive to the Silver Sands mall to the West, or luxury shopping at Destin Commons to the East. Kenny D's, The Crab Trap, and Pompano Joe's are all within walking distance to Cayenne Cottage. We encourage you to leave menus of your favorite restaurants when you come. For evening entertainment, Destin is known for some wonderfully upscale eateries, as well as your regular fare. Friendly night life and nearby state of the art movie theater. The Silver Sands Outlet Mall is a vacation in it’s own right for shoppers you will have access to over 100 stores, including, Polo, Ralph Lauren, Banana Republic, Brooks Brothers, Eddie Bauer, Liz Claiborne, Tommy Hilfiger, Lenox, Nike and Reebok - just to name a few. When you need to pause for nourishment choose from Panera Bread, Cheeseburger in Paradise or Carabbas

Didn’t want to leave!
We loved our stay here and wished we didn’t have to leave! It was such a blessing to have the beach right across the street. The free beach chairs and umbrella set up that was available at the time we were there was a life saver! We had a blast and cannot wait to go back!

Nice Place to stay
Clean very close to the beach. Quiet and very close to everything. Our only issue is it rained too much. This property is worth the cost based on the other properties around it. The beach access is directly across the street and it was nice to have beach chairs and umbrella provided. Caretakers were fast to respond and very helpful.

Accommodations were perfect for our family. Access to beach was very nice. My only complaint would be that I wish the weather had been a little warmer, but otherwise it was perfect. Grandson loved the pool. White sandy beach was beautiful!

Convenient — Not as nice as pictured.
It’s a decent property. Wasn’t a fan of the huge black mold spots on the master bedroom ceiling or the mold seeping out of the paint on one of the living room walls above the back door. The beds were not that great but after being on the beach you don’t really care. Plenty of towels to use. The fridge gave out when we were there — told the management company about it and got a nice lesson on how fridges work. Wouldn’t stay here again but it was sufficient.

Very disappointed in the unit.
We love Destin. Upon arrival when we entered the unit we found cockroaches boxes in the kitchen with dead cockroaches in them. Then we walked out on the balcony the door to the balcony the door knob would not work. Called maintenance they came and fixed it. Other door knobs was loose. Then we noticed they were no ice nowhere on the property, we were hot and thirsty was wanting a drink. We went to the refrigerator, hoping that we had a icemaker, but there wasn’t one and one tray only for five people. The boys decided to go swimming. We went to the swimming pool to cool off. Then we realized the pool had no pump or filtration on it. It was just like a pond, hot stale water. Three TVs in the unit only one worked correctly and it was in the smaller bedroom. The Internet was poor with low reception. Then we decided to go to the beach which is beautiful so after we enjoyed the beach, we came back to the unit to take a shower to get ready for dinner found out there was no water pressure very little not enough to even get the sand out of your hair so very disappointed. Then we went to take the trash out. There was no extra trash bags in the unit, bathroom or for the kitchen. Each day we went to enjoy the beach and we went down to the umbrella set up my two sons brought 2 chairs and 1 umbrella which we were told we cannot use, cause it was a private beach but we were only told this towards the end of the week. No extra sheets in unit for a week stay. I also received a bad rash.

Perfect Vacay spot
The only way this place could be better is if it were directly on the beach! This condo is in a great location! Just a short walk across the crosswalk and you’re at the beach! The condo is nice and had plenty of room. Kathy was wonderful to work with and was great at communicating about the rental! Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing Stay
We had such an amazing stay. Kathy was a great host. She answered messages immediately and was very kind. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. The location is perfect! My only wish was that they would not allow smoking on the patios/property. Whenever the guests next to us would light up a cigar or cigarette we would have to come in from the patio because the smell was terrible.

What a beautiful area! My first time visiting. Everyone I met from locals to visitors were kind and full of suggestions for places to try. Walked to many places and took an Uber to others. Having the beach chair setup was wonderful! Kathy was available if needed and check-in was a breeze. I didn’t want to leave - I Will be back! Thank You!
