❤ Sailors Cove 🏖 Mins to the Beach☀ Family Condo❤

The Sailor’s Cove is a self-catering accommodation for the budget minded family/friends looking for a cozy nest to stay in the heart of Destin. We allow up to 2 dogs at NO CHARGE. Sailor’s Cove is on the 2nd floor, conveniently located across the street from the beach and next to Big Kahuna’s Waterpark and The Track Family Park. Our complex offers 3 pools, with one being only steps away from your front door, and a peaceful lake walkover just steps away where you can feed the turtles from the bridge.

The space
The entire cove has been decorated to reflect its seaside setting. You will definitely feel like you are on a tropical holiday no matter where you turn. The gorgeous white-sand beach is just a few minutes’ walk away. A grill is available right in front of the condo for home-style BBQ's for the fish you catch or buy from specialist seafood shops nearby. For those with kids, there are plenty of amusement centers of interest around the corner like The Big Kahuna’s Waterpark and The Track Family Amusement & Theme Park.
When you arrive at the complex, you will enter through one of our two gated entrances and you will be provided with the complex gate access code. You will enter the Sailor’s Cove with a code on our keyless entry keypad, for added convenience.
Walking into the cove you will see the living room that welcomes you with 2 comfortable queen sleeper sofas with upgraded 5” memory foam mattress and a love seat. The living room area also provides a 54” flat-screen TV. Our dining area is just adjacent to the kitchen pass through bar. The condo has an enclosed balcony for adding space in the Sailor's Cove.
Our laundry room is situated directly behind the kitchen and has a full-sized washer & dryer for your convenience. One of our 3 pools is just a few steps away from our building.

Our kitchen area is a full open concept to the dining room, and it is fully stocked with all your cooking essentials like dishes, bake ware, pots and pans, silverware, utensils, blender, crock-pot and standard coffee maker with complimentary coffee, cream, sugar, etc.

Directly off the living area you will have easy access to both living quarters. The Captain’s Quarters is equipped with a queen size bed and comfortable pillows for a great night's sleep. The Crew’s Quarters is equipped with 2 full size beds. Both bedrooms have flat-screen televisions with ample selections of channels for relaxing in bed while watching your favorite shows at the end of the day.

Our bathroom offers a bathtub shower with complimentary dispenser of body wash, shampoo and conditioner. We also have a fully stocked linen closet with plenty of towels and other bath supplies.

We have attempted to provide nearly everything you will need for an enjoyable family/friend’s low-cost getaway to the beautiful Emerald Coast. Perhaps the only thing you will need to bring is your bathing suit and a beach towel! We even have a limited supply of beach gear such as umbrellas, chairs, beach toys, beach mats, etc.

While the closest beach access is about a 1 mile walking distance or about a 10-minute walk, it is a short drive with plenty of free parking adjacent to the Back Porch Restaurant and the June White Decker Public Beach where you will have convenient access to restrooms and shower facilities. The Henderson Beach State Park is only 1.6 miles away or a short 5-minute drive, and I highly recommend this extremely family friendly State Park that has awesome facilities for a small fee of $6 per carload.

Guest access
At Gulf Terrace, our guests have full access to the entire condo, tennis courts and three swimming pools. Parking is free for all our guests. Once you have booked our cozy condo, an email from us will be sent to you 3 days before your arrival regarding your itinerary. You will find a link to the check-in instructions in this message. When you access this link, you will find the complex gate access code for both entrances, as well as the latest door code to use during your stay.

Other things to note
We provide shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower, as well as dishwasher detergent and cleaning supplies. The laundry room is fully stocked with laundry soap. There are plenty of surf shops nearby to purchase any beach accessories that you may need.
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

This was a perfect place for our family to gather together. The host is very helpful and the place is very good. We especially enjoyed the facilities located on the property. The dog park, the tennis courts and the three pools, one of them heated so well it was like a hot tub. The lake and pavilions were gorgeous. The property is very convenient to everything in Destin. A

Excellent stay for a family on a budget. Enough room for all of us. Teens liked jumping in the pool and feeding the turtles. Henderson state beach was best beach in the area. We ended up getting a pass each day (6 per day) and then going back and fortth as needed.

We enjoyed the accommodations! There was so much to do in too short of the time we were there. Would definitely recommend! The beach, however, was not very accessible by the condo. We ended up driving to Henderson Beach.

Fun in the sun

Me and my cousins have a girl trip every year. We had been seeing vids online about crab Island and felt this year would be a perfect time to go. We arrived very early and Jeff and Deborah were very accommodating. The house was fully stocked with toiletries towels sheets and blankets. If we had any concerns we reached out with a quick resolve by the owners. This trip was very memorable.
