About this property

Harper by AvantStay | Beautiful Home w/ Pool | Walk to the Beach!

Welcome to Harper, an AvantStay home!

From baby blues to cozy corners, this home is cute as a button. You’ll find something warm at every turn: a sun room, outdoor dining and lounging areas, and a firepit ready for roasting s’mores. With little details that light up the entire place, such as a stained glass window in the shower and french doors throughout, all aspects of the home feel fresh, bright, and beautiful. A game room with a record player and the fact that this pad is only two blocks from James Lee Beach don’t hurt either.

Located in Northwest Florida, Destin is often called the “world’s luckiest fishing village”. This Emerald coast city is known as for its sparkling white beaches, numerous golf courses and world-famous fishing. Nearby zipline courses, dolphin cruises and amusement parks make it a perfect destination for families. Adults and large groups also flock here for beach parties during the day and live music in the evening. Once the sun sets, the Destin Harbor turns up with lively bars, restaurants and dancing.

Nearby Activities: James Lee Beach, Destin Commons, Destin Harbor Walk Village, Henderson Beach State Park, Gator Beach, Big Kahuna's Water & Adventure Park, Crab Island, Graffiti & Funky Blues Shack, McGuire’s Irish Pub.

Good location

Good location close to nice beach and all major stores. Pros:- great location- beautiful beach - house is big - new towels - games room- pack and play for infants Cons: - very high pool heat fee 160 per day- emailed property manager 3 times with some general questions. They only responded 1 out 3 messages- if you like spotless properties this is not one of them- winter months: downstairs is very cold.,which would be perfect for summer :)

Family vacation

The house was great, very spacious with more then enough beds and bathrooms for a large group. The place has everything you would need and its close to a lot of restaurants and shopping places. The beach is like a 5 minute walk from the house. We had some minor issues but we contacted the host and they sent someone to fix them right away. 10/10

Family vacation 2024

The house had plenty of room and supplies for our whole family of 10. We loved having our own grill and pool. The location was perfect, we were close to everything. We rented a golf cart to go back and forth to the beach.

Perfect home-away-from -home for our three generation family.

The house, pool and location were perfect! Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for eight. Living spaces accommodated us well. Golf cart rental for travel to the beach and local restaurants made getting around easy. Certainly a stay we would gladly repeat.
