We’re happy to answer any questions before you book and we’re available during your stay.

The separate guest house has a large open room upstairs with 2 queen beds plus a kitchenette, seating area, full bath, and walk-in closet.

You’ll find all the dishes, pans and utensils you may need, and a Keurig K-Cup coffee maker.

OFF-STREET PARKING

You may park up to 4 vehicles at this home, depending on size. There is no street parking in Destin.



PET FRIENDLY

We are pet friendly and welcome dogs in our home. There is a $300 per dog extra fee and your dog must be pre-approved by the owner.



LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

Crystal Beach is the gold standard of Destin...no high-rise condominiums or beaches packed with 4 rows of vendor chairs. Crystal beach is mostly residential, which contributes to the quietness of the neighborhood. A large public beach access is less than a block away.



Restaurants, activities and entertainment are also close-by. Destin Commons, a beautiful upscale shopping and entertainment center, is less than a half-mile away. It features over 75 shops and restaurants, including Bass Pro Shop, World of Beer, Panera Bread, Uncle Buck's Fish Bowl & Grill, AMC Theater with IMAX and much more. Local favorite, Camille’s, is an easy walk and The Crab Trap is about a mile east. You can bicycle, scooter, Jet ski and go para-sailing all within walking distance. The Silver Sands Outlet mall is not far for those who enjoy “retail therapy”!



Monthly rates during November through February are based on two-person occupancy without the use of the carriage house. If you have more than two people staying at the monthly rate, you may be subject to additional charges after you have booked the reservation online.
