We begin by making your trip simple from the start by offering extremely convenient keyless entry, with a unique code for your stay for each of the homes. Upon arrival, there is parking directly on the side of the home for up to 6 vehicles. A short set of stairs leads you to the front door of the main home, where you're likely to walk in and say "WOW". Our spacious living area you'll enter to boasts multiple seating areas, a large screen TV, and dining seating for the entire group to enjoy meals together. Please note our fireplace is just for aesthetics & is not functional. The natural light & rustic beachy decor will certainly have you in awe from the moment your trip begins!
Directly off the living room to the right is our gourmet kitchen complete with vast counter space, an oversized refrigerator, double oven, cooktop, under-counter ice maker, & dishwasher. We also include a microwave, standard coffee maker, Keurig, blender, crock pot, toaster, dishes & cutlery, pots & pans, and cooking utensils. All we're missing is your grocery order (don't forget to bring along spices or oils you may need!) & the best cook in your group to help make this room the heart of the home for your stay!
Directly off the kitchen area is the only bedroom located on the first floor, best for those with any mobility issues as it does not require any additional stairs to access. This room has a King sized bed, seating, and TV. While not private to the room, a full bathroom is located in the hallway for easy access.
Up our stairway to the second floor, guests can find three more bedrooms. To the left is our twin bunk room, with two sets of built in twin sized bunk beds that can easily accommodate both children or adults. A Jack & Jill bathroom with a shower/tub, toilet, and His & Hers Sinks attaches directly to the furthest corner of the room.
The second bedroom on this floor can be found to the right, with a King sized bed, TV, and a private balcony. This room shares the Jack & Jill bathroom with the twin bunk room.
The hallway between these rooms includes a full size washer and dryer, for convenient guest use during your trip.
The third bedroom on this floor is a breathtaking master suite, complete with a King bed, ample closet space, TV, seating areas, and amazing balcony views of the emerald waters & sandy white beaches. The spacious en-suite bathroom has a deep soaking tub, toilet, shower, & His & Hers sinks.
Our forth room & final room on this floor is a small bunk room with one set of twin bunk beds, most appropriate for kids but can accommodate adults if needed.
Up to the third floor of our home, guests can find the ULTIMATE loft-style bedroom with a barn door entry. This room not only boasts some of the best views in the home from the windows & balcony, but also a unique setup that can accommodate up to 6 guests. Two built in twin beds line the wall, with each having a twin trundle underneath. A King sized bed is built down the center of the twin daybeds. The loft area includes light seating for relaxation & a light kitchenette with a sink & mini fridge for storing those extra snacks or late-night drinks! Completing the room is an attached small bathroom with a toilet, sink, and standup shower.
The second home included on our lot is located directly behind the main home. This space is perfect for an entire family, with two bedrooms, a full kitchen, laundry, and a full bathroom. To access the guest house, you'll go up one flight of stairs, located right off the pool deck.
Guests will enter directly into the kitchen area, with full appliances, dishes, silverware, small appliances, and breakfast bar seating for 4.
To the right is the first bedroom, outfitted with two sets of built in twin bunk beds, a couch, & TV.
Down the short hall to the right is the second bedroom, complete with a King sized bed, and TV. A stackable washer & dryer in the hall provides easy access for any laundry needs during your trip. One bathroom is located at the end of the hall, with a tub/shower combo, toilet & sink.
The lower level of the second home is where we envision our guests will create memories for years to come. The large converted garage is perfect for game nights playing foosball, shooting hoops on the Pop-A-Shot game, shooting a game of darts, or nail biting ping pong games!
Our outdoor space that sits directly in the center of the two homes offers a private pool with a fun waterfall feature (with optional seasonal pool heating), pool loungers, and a nice shaded bar area for escaping the hot Florida rays! The front deck offers a grill (with propane provided for your stay), patio tables & chairs, & a 7 person hot tub for the ultimate evening relaxation!
We are also happy to offer our guests premium pricing on a 6 passenger golf cart all year long! Please let us know upon inquiry if you'd like to add on this fun amenity!
Guest Access:
A few things to keep in mind:
-A courtesy supply is provided of toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dishwasher/dish soap, laundry detergent, and hand soap that's typically enough for the first 24 hours of your stay. For larger groups or longer trips it is recommended that you bring additional supplies as seen fit for your group size/length of stay.
-Please plan your trip accordingly as we are located in Central Standard Time. Check in time is 4pm, and checkout time is 9am. Cleaning and maintenance is required after each guest checkout & due to the size of the home, we are NOT able to schedule early check ins or late check outs at any time. Early arrivals or late departures may be subject to fees.
-Golf cart rentals and pool heating are NOT included in your stay. We ask that groups please inquire for pricing as it varies based on season/length of trip.
-Spring break/student groups (under age 25) are permitted with PRIOR APPROVAL ONLY. A $100 Cash deposit from each guest+student rules signed at check in is required. Parents are not permitted to book on behalf of a student group, and must be present at all times during a trip, if approved.
-We must be notified of a pet joining your trip before arrival. We have a 2 pet maximum permitted (unless otherwise approved) & our $200 pet fee must be paid prior to check in. Pets must be house trained, not permitted on furniture or in the pool, and crated when left unattended. You are expected to clean up after your pet, or a $50 fee will be assessed. Emotional Support Animals are subject to pet fee, ADA Registered Service Animals are the only animals exempt from this at any time. Impersonating an ADA Service animal is a crime in our state so we appreciate honesty in this matter.
-There is only parking to accommodate up to 6 vehicles, and street parking/blocking sidewalk/right-of-way may result in citation from the City of Destin to be paid by guest in violation. Boat/RV/Trailer parking is not permitted at our home.

We're located right in the heart of Crystal Beach, some of the most beautiful beaches in the world-only a block away from the home! Shopping at the Destin Commons and Silver Sands Outlets, restaurants, and entertainment are just a few minutes away.
Getting Around:
We highly recommend snagging a discounted golf cart rental for your stay, just inquire when booking for our rates based on seasonality & length of stay! Our city also offers Uber & Lyft as well.
Interaction with Guests:
We are LOCAL & always available for our guests anytime before and during your trip. It is highly encouraged to read our listing in detail for any questions about the space, location, and amenities. We ask, please, for NO text message communication as you will not receive a response. Our strong preference is communication directly through the platform you've booked on, so that we have all the details of your trip to make assisting you a breeze.
For more immediate needs and emergencies please place a phone call to Matthew (and be sure to know the logistics of your trip such as the dates and location). We can be reached most times of the day, but ask for no late night contact-we will do our absolute best to take care of any needs and questions as soon as they arise!
