Gorgeous new beach cottage in fantastic location!
This gorgeous new 2 BR/2 BA guest cottage enjoys an ideal location in the center of the best part of Destin (Crystal Beach) a very short walk to the beach, yet it's private at the same time! If you prefer not to spend your vacation traipsing the halls of hotels or sharing condo elevators with strangers, enjoy this stunning but cozy cottage in its super convenient location! One-half block (less than 5 minutes walk) to the beach--including showers, restrooms, free kids classes—and a lovely cafe, and 2-5 blocks to 3 grocery stores, over 30 restaurants, movie theaters, bowling, kids play area, and more!
The stunning cottage features a soaring cathedral ceiling in the living/kitchen/dining area, unique finishes, and a one-of-a-kind feel--to make the time when you're not on the beach as enjoyable and relaxing as your time on the beach. The first-floor master suite has a king bed of luxurious memory foam, double sinks, and a large shower. The second suite is upstairs and offers either 2 twin beds (also memory foam) or they can be converted into a king on request. There is a queen sleeper sofa in the loft. Amenities include a high-def TV, wifi, large deck, outdoor shower, full laundry, gas stove, and much more.
Important: This cottage is part of a family homestead and is only available when part of our family is away. With all separate walls, doors, and windows from the host's home, it is a perfect combination of having a home to yourself, and yet having the hosts adjacent if you need anything or want to ask advice from locals. Driveway is shared. Also, while 8 people are allowed per ordinance, we recommend 4-6 adults max for your comfort and to maintain the luxurious feel, especially for a weeklong stay.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a travel crib. Housekeeping is available on request.

Anniversary stay
We stayed for a weekend getaway for our Anniversary. The house was very nice and beautiful. The access to get to the beach was definitely a plus. It was just a short walk. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. Communication was very easy and they were there if we needed them. The only negative was the driveway. It was just tight getting in and out with our SUV. The house is attached to their house. They greeted us upon arrival but left us alone after that. If you’re looking for a nice place I would definitely recommend this one.

This vacation stay was phenomenal! The house was cute and cozy, clean, and perfect for our family of four. Gary and Wendy were incredible kind, accommodating, and always available if anything came up. It was a wonderful surprise to have such a great rental. We would stay here over and over again!

Beautiful Beach Cottage!
What an amazing place to stay! All the comforts of home in a spacious beach cottage down the street from the beach. The owners were available for the check in process and to answer any questions we had. There’s a cute restaurant walking distance down the street and the hot tub was a huge bonus to staying here. So many beautiful decorative touches throughout the home. We would love to come back!

From Destin with Love
The property was a masterpiece of finishes. From the venetian plaster to the wide plank hardwood floors upstairs, from the opulent bathrooms to the most comfortable beds, we felt regel. The owners took every opportunity to make sure our stay was effortless. 10 out of 10!

I would book again!
The whole stay was amazing! There was no issues throughout our stay, everyone who stayed loved not only the location of where we were at but the place, it was clean, spacious, and had a nice atmosphere to it. It was lovely chatting when I first arrived to get a better feel of who i’ve been in contact with to try and make this reservation. That alone made this stay more personalized and understanding with why we needed a weekend getaway. This has been my first experience with booking a place and it overall has to be the best experience i’ve gotten with communication and making sure everything went smoothly. I highly recommend this place for anyone who is staying in that area!
