Beach access

Within the heart of the Crystal Beach community lies a charming cottage, presenting an idyllic retreat that marries the serene ambiance of "Old Florida" with the luxuries of modern living. The property is a sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation, offering a perfect setting for a deeply cherished getaway. Mornings begin with the warmth of a hot beverage enjoyed on the screened porch, where the gentle sway of the porch swing invites guests to linger a little longer. The gourmet kitchen comes fully equipped, turning meal preparation into a delightful experience. As the day unfolds, guests are drawn to the Gulf's inviting waters for sun-soaked adventures, returning to cool off with refreshing swims in the private pool or engaging in playful games under the sun's soft farewell. Accommodating comfortably, the home features a master bedroom on the first floor with a king bed and a luxurious vanity area that evokes a spa-like atmosphere. The second floor hosts additional sleeping quarters with queen beds and a special room designed for kids, featuring a twin-over full bunk bed and a cozy area for storytelling. The residence's open floor plan fosters communal living, allowing for moments of togetherness whether cooking, dining, or relaxing on the plush sofas for movie nights. As evening descends, guests are spoilt for choice between the double porches for stargazing. This property not only caters to the leisurely needs of its guests with a private (optionally heated) pool, BBQ grill, and modern amenities but also situates them within proximity to Destin's vibrant offerings of dining, golfing, boating, and unique shopping experiences, ensuring a stay that is as memorable as it is comfortable.
