Gorgeous beach cottage in fantastic location!

** POWER IS ON. NO STORM DAMAGE. BEACH IS OK. WE ARE OPEN. **

This gorgeous new 2 BR/2 BA guest cottage enjoys an ideal location in the centre of the best part of Destin (Crystal Beach) a very short walk to the beach, yet it's private at the same time! If you prefer not to spend your vacation traipsing the halls of hotels or sharing condo elevators with strangers, enjoy this stunning but cozy cottage in its super convenient location! One-half block (less than 5 minutes walk) to the beach--including showers, restrooms, free kids classes—and a lovely cafe, and 2-5 blocks to 3 grocery stores, over 30 restaurants, movie theatres, bowling, kids play area, and more!


The stunning cottage features a soaring cathedral ceiling in the living/kitchen/dining area, unique finishes, and a one-of-a-kind feel--to make the time when you're not on the beach as enjoyable and relaxing as your time on the beach. The first-floor master suite has a king bed of luxurious memory foam, double sinks, and a large shower. The second suite is upstairs and offers either 2 twin beds (also memory foam) or they can be converted into a king on request. There is a queen sleeper sofa in the loft. Amenities include a high-def TV, wifi, large deck, outdoor shower, full laundry, gas stove, and much more.

The cottage includes an outdoor jumbo spa that can be used as a small, above-ground pool, or the temperature can be turned up to be a hot tub. It has 8 seats with different jet configurations and coloured lights. It's a great option for small kids to be safe if the Gulf is rough; for adults to soak, relax on a floatie, do some water aerobics, talk under the stars, wind down at night, etc. We do not have an inground swimming pool. (The nearby beach access has a lifeguard during most daylight hours in summer season to help you be safe while swimming in the Gulf.)

Important: This cottage is part of a family homestead and is only available when part of our family is away. With all separate walls, doors, and windows from the host's home, it is a perfect combination of having a home to yourself, and yet having the hosts adjacent if you need anything or want to ask advice from locals. Driveway is shared. Also, while 8 people are allowed per ordinance, we recommend 4-6 adults max for your comfort and to maintain the luxurious feel, especially for a weeklong stay.

The property seems to be newly built, the flooring and overall structure was very nice and pleasant. The kitchen had a good supply of items and the host provided clean/green cleaning supplies for the kitchen and laundry. There are beach items for use, however they are not in the best condition, but they are usable, mostly. The sleeping accommodations are comfortable, and the host was communicative. We would definitely stay with this host again!!

The house is incredible and the hosts could not be any nicer. Check in was so smooth and we had a great week there. The hot tub was lovely, and it is sooo close to the beach. The beds are all very comfy and the kitchen is very modern. There are even TWO coffee machines. Highly recommend this house! We couldn't have picked a nicer place to stay.

The house was exactly as it’s presented online. It’s beautiful, clean, and spacious. Excellent, quiet location but close to everything you could want or need. The hot tub made our trip, since the weather was cold for part of our stay, and my teen daughter spent much time in it. The hosts are friendly and helpful.

The cottage is clean, open and bright. The venetian plaster walls, marbled epoxy floors, beautiful cabinetry and trim have a modern updated look with a very comfortable feel. Excellent location, less than 5 minute walk to the beach. Restaurants and shopping within 10 minutes walk time. We even went without a vehicle for two days. The hosts were very kind and hospitable. This place is tucked in behind the homes on the street making it quieter than most. If we return to Destin, this will be our first choice.

The cottage was so light and roomy. It felt luxurious, yet homey. It was well appointed and had everything we needed. The hosts are fabulous. They are near and attentive but not obtrusive in any way. I look forward to staying there again which is huge because in over 50 visits to the beach I have only stayed in one other house more than once. Bravo!

Thanks to the host’s thoughtful attention to detail, we had a wonderful stay in a spotless and beautifully maintained home. It was spacious and perfect for our family of four with one child. Every part of the house — from the bathroom sink to the kitchen and TV — reflected a user-centered design that truly impressed us. We highly recommend this place for a family getaway.
