We had the best time staying in this oasis! Everything was perfect and we even had beach accessories to take with us. We love this neighborhood so much and love how close the beach access was. We loved a great lunch and popsicle from Camille’s. The bed was so comfy and the kitchen and fridge was nice to have as well.

Great location

The house is located within easy walking distance to several beaches, restaurants, and Destin Commons. It is a great small house that was clean and had everything to enjoy both our time there and at the beach. The host was very easy to work with and even approved us extending our stay on short notice. The neighborhood is quiet at night and the person staying at the main house was very private and we felt comfortable chilling in the pool.

Great couple's retreat

The Salty Pearl is a great spot for couples. It's just enough space and is a great, central location for activities around Destin and Santa Rosa. It's not fancy, but has everything you need. It's clean and nicely decorated. The bed is comfortable. The kitchen has the basics you need for vacation cooking. As other reviewers have said, having a private pool is REALLY NICE. This is something my husband and I have made a point to look for in a rental and it definitely contributed to our decision to stay here. We had not been to Destin before so we didn't realize just how central the Pearl is. It's about ten minutes to the Destin boardwalk and about 25 minutes to Santa Rosa. Publix is just three blocks away, along with many restaurants, a movie theater, and shopping. It's an easy walk to the beach, though be aware that if you want to stay at the beach all day, Shirah beach is mostly reserved for people who stay at the condo's on the beach. You'll need to drive a little (maybe a mile) to get to an open, public beach. The only bummer about the Pearl is that it backs up to a parking lot and on the other side of the parking lot is the back of retail shops and restaurants. It's nice that there aren't houses right behind you, but every morning at 4am trash trucks come to get trash. It didn't wake me up but it woke my husband every morning. I still recommend this place! It's hard to find a place for just two people and the Pearl with its private pool is just right.
