Waterfall Cottage Professionally Managed by Newman-Dailey
As cool as a waterfall on a hot summer day, the Waterfall Cottage offers you a refreshing vacation experience. This three-story vacation home is located in Crystal Beach and is just blocks from the beach, the Destin Commons - the only open air mall in Northwest Florida - and many other attractions.
Apart from its excellent location, the Waterfall Cottage has many inviting features. A tiled pool deck borders one side of the house. Lounge chairs, tables, and umbrellas all add to experiencing the Florida life style. And there’s even a grill ready and waiting for your next family cook-out.
Inside you’ll find a tastefully decorated home. Paintings of island paradises and palm trees will give you the feeling that you’re in a tropical oasis. The spacious well lit bedrooms all have unique one of a kind accent pieces. And from the very top floor you’ll have quite a view. All the accessories you’ll need are here, from a fully equipped kitchen and dining room, to a laundry room and the third floor kids area. The Waterfall Cottage really is an invigorating vacation retreat.
This home is dog friendly. You must pay a pet fee (please inquire about cost before booking) and provide up to date shot records.
