Crystal Beach, Renovated. 2nd (Top) Story, Destin Area, Florida Vacation Rental by Owner

Fondly nicknamed, “Mermaid Pointe,” enjoy your vacation with great peek-a-boo views of the gorgeous Emerald Coast waters. This condo has been newly renovated with fresh paint, all new furniture and decor. Mermaid Pointe is right across the street from the beach, in the heart of Destin in Crystal Beach, close to the Destin Commons shopping center, Mid-Bay bridge, and plenty of restaurants to suit any taste. It’s right on Scenic Highway 98, where you can be close to everything, but enjoy a quiet, secluded feel, and a popular walking/bike path, for when you don’t have your toes in the sand. The condo features a numeric lock on the front door, so you can walk across the street to the beach with nothing but your swimsuit and towel; not a worry in the world about keeping up with keys and valuables. You will also be within walking distance of Camille's Sidewalk Cafe, Cissy’s Scenic 98 Café, the Henderson Resort and Spa, Primrose, and the Henderson Beachside Inn, along with many other fabulous restaurants within easy biking or driving distance. Don't take my word for it, our reviews say it all! This review said it best, and reflects our ultimate goals as owners: "This is hands down the best experience I've ever had. The location of this property is perfect and the condo was really special. We felt like we were staying with friends that had personal touches of a home more than a rental."

Mermaid Pointe is a second-story end unit/corner condo in a low-rise complex (only two stories), giving it a spacious and separate feel. It is a one bedroom (with a queen-sized bed), one bath home that sleeps up to 6 with twin-sized nautical hallway bunk beds and a queen-sized pullout sofa in the living room.

This is your comfortable home away from home with a fabulous porch swing illuminated by a lantern-light chandelier, for either daytime reading, nighttime lounging, or just listening to the waves and dozing off. You can enjoy having meals on the patio, with a table and seating for three.

The Master bedroom boasts a BEDSIDE coffee station (which can be adjusted to an automatic setting to serve as a pleasant, aromatic, alarm clock!) and each side of the bed has their own reading lantern. This used to be my full-time home, so there's extra space for clothes, as the bed has drawers underneath. Hallway bunks offer privacy through a train-compartment style curtain, perfect for kids to have their own “fort,” or other guests who have the option to shut out extra light at anytime of day. Spend the evening on the pull-out couch with both French doors open on the patio to hear those waves rolling you to sleep all night long. The bathroom comes stocked with beach towels and other linens to accommodate six guests. Mermaid Pointe also comes stocked with four beach chairs, pool toys, a golf-size umbrella, and an apron (just in case!). Internet is also included along with two smart TVs, which feature a wide range of available entertainment. The unit has been upgraded with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, washer and dryer, crown molding, the softest cooling microfiber and jersey knit sheets, comfortable foam mattress toppers in the master bedroom & bottom bunk, three luxurious bath-sheet sized towels (the rest are standard size), and modern furnishings, for a clean look and feel.

The Caribbean Dunes complex can make your vacation complete with a seasonally heated pool, hot tub, clubhouse, outdoor grills, and proximity to two public beach accesses. It’s a great location for couples and families to get away. Since it is a low-rise condo on the quiet side of Scenic 98, it’s bound to prove for a perfectly relaxing Destin vacation.

The owners are local, so if anything happens, we are just a phone call away to give you personalized attention, should the need arise.
