*Inquire about renting one of our six seater Club Car Tempo with a sound system, leather seats, and a lithium ion battery for an extra long charge. We bought a fleet of golf carts for our homes rather than having guests pay the local rate of $165/day. We offer them for between $300 and $495 per week, depending on time of year. If you want to make sure a golf cart is available to rent before booking please inquire and if you have already booked please reach out to us about renting a golf cart.
This home is hosted by Harleman Vacation Rentals, a family-run vacation rental business primarily in the Destin area. We have 10 vacation rentals in the Destin area and are continuously trying to upgrade them to provide the best possible guest experience with amazing amenities and top-notch customer service.
This is an amazing home, as it has many unique properties. And please note this listing is for both houses. I get many questions asking if it is for both houses. It is for both homes.
First off, before reading further you should know there are many amenities that have recently been put in.
-The game room/movie theater is now a very nice game room with new flooring and the following amenities: pool table, ping pong table, air hockey, shuffleboard, and a movie theater. -An outdoor gazebo with barbeque, fridge and television and a six seat bar area. -The largest beach access in all of this area of Crystal Beach in Destin is across the street. It is a full block in length and you can just walk right across the street to the beach. You are set with this layout! A pool, outdoor bar with tv and barbeque, game room, and the beach right across the street. -An outdoor ping pong table has been put in the backyard area. -The backyard has cornhole, kan jam, and other great games to play.\ -There is a new six person jacuzzi in the pool area. -There are clear views to the gulf as the city cleared off the land permanently in front of the house for extra public beach access. The house now has amazing views from all angles.
There in an outdoor gazebo with a barbeque island and television in the pool deck area. The back barbeque island has been put in and there is bar table seating in the front. This will seat 6 people around the bar and they can barbeque and watch tv, etc.
We also have already put in all new furniture and new quartz countertops in the kitchen. In addition, the bathrooms in the main house have all been remodeled as of February 2023. If you have any questions about the updates please read this description again because I tried to be as detailed as possible.
The house is an extra large 10,000 square foot lot as most lots in this area are only 7,500. Because of this, between both homes there are seven bedrooms, a large pool deck, screened-in porch and a backyard with room for games. The beach is right across the street and over one house so you can see it in the aerial. Beach access is on Scenic Highway 98 and Tarpon Street. Tarpon is two houses over and this house is on Scenic Highway 98. This home is right in Crystal Beach with a southern feel and it is one of my favorite homes as I own 9 in the area.
The driveway of the house fits six cars so you are welcome to park many cars and a golf cart if needed. In the front carriage house is a game room area which has just been refinished. It has the following amenities: ping pong, pool, shuffleboard, foosball, large screen tv's, and air hockey, bar seating and couch and a movie theater with surround sound and 110 inch screen. It will be an amazing game room to go to when you aren't enjoying the beach or the pool area. It is also a great feature to have when the weather turns and it is raining or bad weather outside. You never know if the weather will be raining during the one week you come so having this game room will be a great feature.
In the carriage house in the front with the game room there are three bedrooms upstairs. One bedroom has a queen bed and a balcony and looks out on the pool with a deck and an ensuite bathroom. The second room has a king bed and amazing ocean views to wake up to every day. And the third room has a full over full bunk bed. There is a hallway bathroom that both the king and the full over full bedroom would share. There is also a couch in the living room, ocean views, and a small kitchenette. There are great views to the beach from the second floor of the carriage house. There is also a washer and dryer for your convenience in the front carriage house.
The main pool deck area is between the carriage house and the main house. There is a 30 foot long pool, a firepit with adirondack chairs, chaise lounges, and an outdoor ping pong table and an outdoor sofa set to lounge out and enjoy the pool. Palm trees and lush landscaping surround the pool area and are well lit at night to provide a nice tropical feel. Don't forget the barbeque gazebo which has nighttime lighting, a full barbeque island and fridge in the back of it and the front a countertop to sit 6 people and a tv to watch.
The main house is in the back of the lot (most of the homes have a main house in front) and has a living room, dining area, and kitchen on the first floor. There is also an attached porch area with more seating and amazing ocean views. There is bar seating at the kitchen with beautiful quartz countertops and the house on the first floor has a washer and dryer and a door to the backyard where there are more outdoor games. There is a half bath on the first floor living room area.
On the second floor of the main house are a further four bedrooms and three baths with the following layout. -Master bedroom with king bed, private ensuite bath with shower, and a balcony overlooking the pool area and amazing views of the ocean. The balcony has an outdoor seating set with sofas, rocking chairs and two bar sized chairs and a table set to enjoy the views. -King Bedroom -Twin over twin bunk bed and twin single -Queen Bedroom -Two full bathrooms in the hallway that the king bedroom, bunk room and queen bedroom would share.
In the final area, the backyard of the main house, you will find a grassy area to play games. There will be cornhole, horseshoes, ladder toss, kan jam, and other great games. It will be an amazing area for kids and adults that like to play games.

Great location- close to everything, clean, and worked out very well for our large family! Game room and pool were great especially since the ocean was too cool to swim. Very relaxing trip!
This beach house had everything we needed! There was 16 of us ranging from age 4-72. Super close beach access was a huge plus! Kids enjoyed the game room and the pool ! Thank you for the making the trip an easy and memorable one for our family
We really enjoyed our stay at this house. We had 3 different families with 6 adults and 11 kids ranging from 6 to 16. The beds were all very comfortable, the game room was awesome and the pool and hot tub got many hours of use. The location right across the street from the beach was great too! We would definitely stay here again!
The property was just perfect for our family. We had six adults and four children and there was plenty of room for everyone. The beds were very comfortable, common areas were spacious. The pool was wonderful and the location was just a short one block to the beach. The beach was beautiful, pure white sand framing the crystal clear water of the gulf. The management team was easy to work with and very responsive. Overall it was a great vacation on a wonderful property.
This was probably our best vacation we've had with our family. Although access to the beach was right across the street, which was awesome, we spent most of our time at the pool, gameroom and outdoor gazebo and kitchen. We did have minor problems that were handled promptly by the property manager, but overall I would rent this property again.
We stayed at this house for my son's senior spring break trip. There were ten of us and we all loved the house and location. The seniors loved all there was to do, even on a rainy day. The host was extremely responsive to questions and when the hot tub got a little dirty, they sent someone out to clean it immediately. I would definitely recommend this property for groups with kids/teenagers. It has a great view of the beach being just across the street. Several beach chairs and a wagon were also included. There was no need to rent a golf cart because it is so close to the beach.
It was awesome!! The house was absolutely perfect for all of us. With the pool and all the other game's everyone was occupied and having fun. The outside bar with the refrigerator was a very nice added feature. Very easy stroll to the beach was extremely helpful. I will definitely be reaching out for this house in the very near future!!
Overall, loved the property! Would highly recommend! Had one issue with the internet in the main house, but the maintenance team tried there best to keep us running each and every day! Theatre room and the pool were big hits! Kids would live this property for those looking to bring families along! Thanks again Michael and team!
This property had everything you could possibly want. Right across street from beach, pool, game room, projection screen, fire pit, outdoor covered barbecue area. It does have a guest house with 3 bedrooms which would be great for teenagers, we didn’t use it because there was only 6 of us. We did a golf cart rental which I highly recommend. It is easy way to get around as well as just fun. They had everything you need to go to the beach: wagon, chairs, umbrella’s, sand toys, and beach towels. I would definitely stay here again.
What a fabulous property and location. Honestly its better than the pictures as there is now a great outdoor bar by the pool and the small hotel that was directly across the street has been torn down so you have an unobstructed view of the ocean and you can access the beach through an easy path instead of the beach access a little further down.
The pool is a great size and the game room is fantastic for kids and teens. That said the location is what we loved the most. Literally a 45 second walk and you are on the beach. We easily cooked and grilled multiple nights for our large group and sleeping arrangements worked for all. Would definitely stay again!
I booked this property to host a co-ed baby shower for my best friends. This property allowed most of the guests to stay on site. Lots of space and the extra bathrooms provided just the right amount of privacy. The heated pool and game room provided the entertainment, when the weather didn’t cooperate for the beach. You could see and hear the ocean from the property and the public walkway was literally across the street. The open floor plan was perfect for the more formal part of the shower and for feeding the group. The hosts were super responsive and accommodating. I would 100% recommend this location and will go back if the opportunity ever presents itself.
Overall our family had a great experience and enjoyed having the 2 separate houses and recreation amenities. Kitchen was amply supplied and beds were comfortable. Lots of beach supplies although we brought our own. Location is perfect with easy access to beach. Cons - Wi-Fi in the main house was not working, refrigerator is not large enough to accommodate food for # of guests, ping pong paddles were broken, registration on golf cart was expired. Biggest issue and major safety concern is bottom step on stairs of main house which is not lighted and hard to see in the dark. Three of us had almost mishaps but my husband totally missed the step and landed flat out on the pavers, scraping up both knees and left elbow. Luckily no broken bones.
This was the MOST relaxing family vacation we have ever take. We go to Florida every year for Spring Break, and we loved this property so much, that we have already reserved for next year.Part of the family got to the property earlier than check in, and the property manager allowed for them to store their luggage in the game room, which worked out perfect. The check in process was very easy. The communication was extremely useful and welcomed. The property exceeded our expectations! Everything was better than described in the listing. I did have some questions during our visit and was pleasantly surprised on how quickly I received replies. An example would be that the outlets in the master bathroom weren't working. I contacted the management, and they were out the same day to fix it. I was so impressed!The location of this house is right across the street from the ocean. The only way to be closer is to be right on the beach. We used the hot tub, the game room (great for rainy days), the pool, the fire pit, the grill, the outside fridge for drinks......we took advantage of every one of the amenities. We even rented the golf carts from management. I recommend paying the additional fee for the pool to be heated! The nights are chilly, and the kids loved it! You just never know what the weather is going to be in April.We are looking forward to Family Vacation 2026!!
Our family loved our stay here! It was so close to the beach! The kids loved the pool and the game room. This property fit our family of 15 very comfortably! We also loved the fire pit during the evenings. It was great to have the beach, pool, and hot tub so close.
This location is situated across the street from the ocean, offering an unobstructed view due to the empty lots. The outdoor area is perfect for gathering and feels very private.We all had a great time in this fantastic property.
The rooms/beds were comfortable and spacious along with plenty of bathrooms for our family of 15. The outdoor area was amazing as well as the game room on a couple of rainy evenings. We were very pleased with the house and location was great! Most of all the attentiveness and friendliness of the host…never had to wait for an answer and always there to help when needed.
This place had it all to keep our whole group entertained and happy. Loved the common area between the houses. Kept the kids entertained during the day and great hangout for the adults in the evening.
We will absolutely stay here again! Great communication with everything. House was the perfect location and had absolutely everything we needed. The pool was perfect. Everything was fenced in for our little ones. Beautiful beach views with the beach right across the street. The water is crystal clear, and the sand is white as a ghost. This was the absolute perfect property, the owners should be so proud. Thank you for a wonderful week!
We had 12 adults & 5 middle schoolers & 2 in high school. We had a great time. Loved having 2 buildings with pool in the middle. They had a good time in the game room & playing bags by the bar area.
