About this property

Newly renovated! Heated Pool - 2 blocks from the beach!

Beachbum's Bungalow captures the essence of a perfect beach getaway. The entire home has been repainted inside and out with calming colors that reflect its coastal charm. As soon as you step through the front door, you’ll feel at ease with the open floor plan. The inviting living room, completely renovated with new flooring and all-new furniture, includes a large flat-screen TV for cozy nights in. The dining area, highlighted by a beautiful bay window, opens up to the fully-equipped kitchen, featuring brand-new stainless steel appliances. Whether you’re cooking up a feast or just grilling on the gas BBQ off the back porch, you’ll have everything you need for home-cooked meals. Plus, the stackable washer and dryer right off the kitchen make keeping beach towels fresh a breeze! How about enjoying a cool glass of lemonade while relaxing on one of the covered front or back porches, watching the sunset?

Beachbum’s Bungalow stands out with its thoughtful split floor plan. The master bedroom offers its own private entrance to the covered back patio, as well as an HD flat-screen TV for your entertainment. Unwind after a long day in the spacious master bathroom with a separate tub and shower, double vanity, and walk-in closet. On the other side of the house, you’ll find more space for guests. The second bedroom features a comfortable Queen bed and HD flat-screen TV, while the third bedroom also includes a Queen bed and access to the back porch, along with its own TV for winding down.

To top it all off, the property is located right across the street from the community pool for easy access. After a refreshing swim, it’s just a short stroll down the street to the stunning Emerald Coast Beaches.

Great Location, Easy access to Beach
This 3 Bed, 2 Bath condo is a fantastic choice for a Destin getaway, earning a strong 4.5-star rating. The location is unbeatable, with a short walk to the beach, restaurants, and shopping, plus a quick drive to attractions and groceries. The property itself is charming and comfortable, but a bit of basic maintenance on door handles, locks, and addressing carpenter bees out front would make it a 5. Despite these minor issues, it's a wonderful spot for a beach vacation. Highly recommend for anyone looking for convenience and a great stay in Destin.

Linens
Pillow case zipped covers and pillows in closets were not clean. Pillows in closet smelled. Two Pillows on bed had stains, appeared to be blood stains. The legs on queen bed were not straight. There was cardboard under mattresses in twin bunkbeds!? King bed mattress obviously old. Dipped in the middle. For the price I would have thought the beds would be more . Had maintenance fix a toilet that was rocking when sat on and shower handle was very loose.

Family Fun
The cottage is cute and just a short walk to a nice public beach access. It was sparsely furnished with kitchen utensils so if you plan to cook while there you might want to take what you need. When we reached out to the owners that the grill didn’t work they responded quickly and within a day had a brand new grill in place. All in all the cottage was as described and our stay was enjoyable.

Nice beach house.
This house is exactly as described. Very easy walk to the beach. Will recommend and will likely stay again. There were issues with an ice maker that was quickly addressed with a call to management. I suggest verifying such things are in working order if they are a priority (ex: Gas Grill or Sofa bed).

Needs Renovated
My family members all complained about the hard beds and uncomfortable couches. I would suggest at the very least, get rid of all the plastic artificial plants and clutter decor as it just collects dust and isn’t clean. The house could be easily renovated with little money as it’s no longer the 1980’s.

Great Experience
This was our first trip to Florida as a family and this house was absolutely great! The pool is located almost directly across the street and the beach was just a short few blocks away. We walked to the beach every day and it was a very nice walk. The house had everything that we needed including a grill and washer and dryer. The wifi wasn't working the first day we were there and I emailed the property and they emailed us back almost immediately and told us how to fix it and offered to come help if it didn't work. We were completely happy and can't wait to come back and stay again!

Beautiful home with a short walk to the beach
This home was beautiful and the host was very helpful. My only recommendation would be a little deep cleaning during the off season.

Great location but few issues with the house
Great location but the house house itself has issues. We had a bug problem (ants and cockroaches). The property manager responded right away when I I emailed them about it. Under the kitchen sink there was a leak and the lights in master bath were flickering. The outside of the house needs a little updating as well. Hopefully they get the issues fixed because it’s in the perfect location and the management/owner are friendly and helpful. Not sure we will stay in this rental again but we will definitely stay in this neighborhood again..

Property was not clean
We experienced having roaches. The grill was absolutely disgusting. The bed sheets weren’t washed from the previous people. Found toenail clippings, fake lashes, food crumbs still on the bed. Trash was under the beds and coffee table. The bushes out front had trash in them. Getting in the front door was a hassle anytime we needed to. Wasn’t convenient to get to the beach.

Roaches everywhere
Unfortunately we killed roaches in every single room of this house. Hard going to sleep at night wondering if a roach was going to crawl on you or in your bed! To make it worse, when we got home and brought our bags inside a roach came out of our suitcase and another bag that had been sitting in the dining room. The suitcase had been sitting on top of the Chester drawers in the back bedroom the entire time. We have had to spray our entire house right after we got home. This rental is the most run down looking house in the neighborhood. Beware they also only have room for 2 cars. You will be required to drive 13 minutes in Destin traffic just to drop a 3rd car off for a few hours as no overnight parking. They say this is bc of the sprinklers in the ground. Not sure why they care about the sprinklers as there is NO grass it is all pine straw. Most of the nicer houses had grass. But it was ok for the cleaning lady to park her car out front of the house in the pine straw (cause yes we saw her) but nobody else! Worst vacation trip won’t be returning obviously.

Challenging but good family house
The location and size of this house is wonderful for a large family! Location to the pool is wonderful. We drove to the beach instead of taking the long walk with a toddler. Some reviews said the kitchen had limited supplies so we did take a lot of things from home and I am glad we did. The house needs some updates but overall is a great house for a family with several kids. We had several challenges with the house but the Management Company was quick to respond and take care of them.
