Beachy Keen –
Spectacular 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom Destin Vacation Rental! Ideally located in the exclusive Community of Crystal Shores (in Crystal Beach) Beachy Keen is just a short block off the beach and less than a minutes drive from the Destin Commons for all the shopping and dining one could ever desire!
A spacious 3,200 square foot floor plan (with hardwood floors throughout!) provides plenty of space for the whole family. The living room has vaulted ceilings that rise up to the 2nd level of the home providing loads or air space and a very beachy feel!

Our week long stay was excellent. Plenty of space for everyone and amenities were great. The guest house was super for our teenage boys. The only issues we had were a broken dishwasher and the internet connection was out 5 of the 7 days, but we managed. Management was prompt to correct both as fast as they could.

Quieter side of Destin
Great property. Location was excellent. Very easy to get to, easy access to beach, less traffic and congestion in the area, and lots of places to walk dogs. House was very nice and well laid out. Would stay here again.
