Coolest Family Vacation Home in Destin! Private Pool! Grill!

Captain Jax is a vacation rental home in the heart of Destin, Florida, on Holiday Isle!

For an unforgettable family vacation, you must consider our amazing 5 bedroom home, located a mere .3 mile walk away from the private beaches of Holiday Isle. With crystal white sand beaches, turquoise waters, and enough sunshine to fill your soul, there's no better place to plan a perfect beach getaway. You have all the comforts of home, a private pool, full-size washer and dryer, and plenty of outdoor and indoor space to kick back and relax. Let's walk you through our little piece of paradise!

When you first enter the home, you're on the second floor. This is where you'll find the fully stocked kitchen, huge living space, and dining table seating - all with mesmerizing views of the canal. There are 2 bedrooms on this floor, both offering Queen-size beds and a Jack-and-Jill shared bathroom. The wrap-around deck gives you all the feels, with ample seating and a charcoal grill!

Upstairs, on the 3rd floor, is where you'll find your gigantic master suite. With sweeping views, and a huge amount of space, this will be your secret oasis while on vacation. The master suite bath offers a soaking tub, walk-in shower, vanity space, and separate toilet room. There's also a closet just outside the room's entrance, and you have your own private deck out back. Seriously, the views from this room are epic. . ..and you may never even want to leave!

Down on the ground floor, you'll have access to your waterfront deck space and a new private pool. There are 2 bedrooms on this floor and a bathroom. One room offers a Queen bed, while the other room has a Twin over Full bunkbed. Your washer and dryer are located on the ground floor, as well as an extra full-size fridge and sink area. This is one of our favorite spaces to chill and sip on a cocktail (or mocktail!)

Affordable, Great Location in Destin
The checkin and house/local information upon arrival and during the stay was top notch! We asked for the pool to be heated upon arrival (for a fee) and it was!... which helped because our first few days there had colder weather. The pool has multiple gates to get through which was perfect to keep the little ones safe. The kitchen is pretty stocked with everything you need also they have a lot of beach chairs with a cart that came in super handy. The location is just a short 5 minute walk to the private beach which is also key because there weren't as many people on our beach compared to the public beach down the way which was packed. There is another fridge in the basement which was super helpful and having laundry was excellent. Also big tip for multiple families: The basement bedroom and the bunks next door is the best: Quiet, laundry right there and large bathroom and away from everyone when mornings tend to get noisy with kids.. Our friends who picked the master bedroom said they wished they'd picked our room in the basement instead. I think our only cons would be the living room could use new couches and a new rug - they seemed old and stained and a bit dirty - or maybe they just need a good deep clean. Otherwise this house is perfect for Spring Break and we thank the owners for hosting us!

Holiday Isle Hotspot
Captain Jax was the perfect beach vacation home for our family getaway. Then 10 of us were more than comfortable. The property was equipped with everything we needed. The pool was a perfect size for our little ones (10,7,6,1). The proximity to the beach was great- just a short walk. The private beach at holiday isle is absolutely perfect. It was never crowded and beautifully kept. Our entire family agreed that we will return back to the holiday isle neighborhood in the future. The best part, however, was the communication with the property managers, breathe easy. They were FABULOUS. Highly HIGHLY recommend this group!!!

What more could you ask for!
The house was absolutely gorgeous. Holiday isle is an awesome area to stay. Quiet and relaxing but just minutes from everything. Private access to the most beautiful beaches and discounts to many local attractions. We had a vacation with our adult children and grand children. The whole experience gave us lots of joy. Thank you so much Breath easy rentals.

the property was great. location was great. it was perfect for our family needs but the palmetto bugs were out of control. the property needs to be sprayed way more often. also property was well worn in some areas like the kitchen and cracked tiles upstairs but did not prevent us from enjoying the space and our time at the beach

Family time
Everything was great, we had two 2year olds and were a little worried about the canal and the pool but there were many locked gates and doors that put our worries at rest. We would highly recommend a golf cart as the neighborhood is full of beautiful homes all on canals and many facing the harbor walk. It was a guarantee to make the little ones fall asleep in the afternoon and evenings and we all enjoyed the rides!
