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. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Pool ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 5 steps to reach entrance - Handrails in stairways - In-room accessibility - No lift - Smooth flooring in public areas - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Housekeeping (on request) ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Bicycle parking - Cleaning products are eco-friendly - Double-glazed windows - Housekeeping (on request) - Recycling - Solar energy - Towels (changed on request) - Water-efficient toilets ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Rules Stays longer than a few days may not have more than 6 adults.

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! ##### Maureen T.

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! ##### lisa s. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 19 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kevin C. 18 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Kevin C. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheryl G. 3 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent stay for everyone! For adults in my six year old daughter stayed here. We had an excellent time. The host was very knowledgeable about the surroundings, and recommended many restaurants for us to try during our stay. The cottage is very quaint, clean, and efficient. It was very clean, and we loved sitting on the porch in the morning. The hot tub is huge and we were able to enjoy it each night. The Host showed us exactly how to utilize everything and made sure that we had everything we needed before leaving us. We walked to the beach each day of our stay, literally a 5 to 7 minute walk. It was amazing. I highly recommend this beautiful cottage. My family plans to return soon. ##### Cheryl G.
