OFF-STREET PARKING You may park up to 3 vehicles at this home, depending on the size of the vehicles. You cannot park on the grass, over the sidewalk, on the street or in the right-of-way.
A PERFECT BEACH LOCATION The home is an easy walk to the beach; you can choose between two access points: Shirah Street (1 ½ blocks from this home) or the larger 'Shore at Crystal Beach Park' with a pavilion and bathrooms (about 3 blocks from this home.) At the house, you'll find a cart with beach chairs and an umbrella, so you can roll your gear to the beach with ease.
Crystal Beach is the gold standard of Destin...no high-rise condominiums. It's mostly residential, which contributes to the quietness of the neighborhood – you can just stroll down the sidewalk to the beach, or walk to a few nearby restaurants or shops.
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, Whole Foods, 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 parasailing all within walking distance. The Silver Sands Outlet mall is not far for those who enjoy “retail therapy”!
PET FRIENDLY We are pet friendly and welcome your dogs in our home. There is a $300 per dog extra fee and your dog must be pre-approved by the owner.
NOTE: Monthly rates during November through February are based on two-person occupancy. If you have more than two people staying at the property at the monthly rate, you may be subject to additional charges after you have booked the reservation online.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fenced private yard.

Perfect Location
The location is perfect - just a short walk to the beach and close to many restaurants. The house is in a small neighborhood that is very private and quiet. The house is nicely decorated and has a new sofa and new flooring. The listing and pictures are accurate. I have stayed in several houses along the gulf coast and this is one of my favorites. I highly recommend this place and would stay again.
