About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Waterfront, private with unobstructed water views & only 10 minutes to Destin!

Welcome to your waterfront private retreat, where breathtaking views await. Nestled on scenic shores, this tranquil haven offers an unparalleled escape. Step onto the deck & soak in the mesmerizing sights & sounds of the bay. Dolphins, ospreys & more await. Inside, you’ll find a newly renovated private space, providing comfort to relax. Whether you’re sipping coffee/wine on the deck or exploring the nearby white beaches and emerald green waters of Destin, this enchanting getaway promises an unforgettable experience. We call it, “Splash of Color”.

The decks -
As you walk through the 100 year old Florida style gate down your private walkway you’ll come upon your two wooden decks. You’ll have amazing unobstructed views of sparkling starry nights and the twinkling of city lights of Destin and Sandestin across the expansive bay. You might also catch the pod of dolphins that like to hang out by our place. Or the beaver. You’ll find some artsy sections of the deck to share on your socials too.
Your space Once inside you'll find a newly renovated bedroom, a queen bed with individual coil and memory mattress, luxurious bedding, hanging smart TV with Roku, table and 2 chairs, closet with hangers, and a full size bathroom with Cannon towels. A mini frig with waters, a microwave and a coffee bar are included.

On the Go -
Available to you are two beach towels and two beach chairs with pillow attachments and hanging bag attachments.

Guest access -
You will have full access to the newly renovated bedroom, bath and both decks. Gate access and room access codes will be sent to you the night prior to your arrival or the morning of.

Other things to note -
There is no kitchen available, however there is a microwave, coffee pot and small refrigerator. The complete home itself is vacant as we are planning a complete remodel. I’m so excited to revamp the rest of the home so, in the meantime, I’ve updated this west side of the house for you to enjoy. We have another unit called the Vibe on the far upper east side.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a balcony and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a microwave, a refrigerator, and a coffee maker.

Short visit to see family who were in Destin for vacation

Acute but very small room with private entrance. It overlooks the Choctawhatchee bay. I would have liked to stay longer and fish.

Perfect Getaway

Nancy has crafted the idyllic getaway for anyone looking to slow down and take a breather from the craziness and chaos of life. Nancy made sure that we felt welcomed and were provided with all of the necessities to feel at home. She is an amazing host and this experience was one of the best that my wife and I have had in quite some time. We cannot wait to book our second visit here!! We are already telling our friends and family to look into this property if they need to relax for a few days. Thank you again, Nancy!! You were a blessing!
