About this property

Beachbums Hideaway - Unique Artsy Beachfront Townhouse

  • Tired of staying at impersonal, expensive, noisy condos? Want a calm, beautiful place to call "home" during your vacation? Beachbums Hideaway is a unique artistic haven for you to refresh.

    It's a three story (non-smoking) beachfront townhouse located directly on the Emerald Coast. On Okaloosa Island, with 3 bedrooms (one is a fully functional Studio) and 4 bathrooms for up to 8 people to stay. Furnished private beach deck and two private balconies to enjoy the gorgeous views and look for dolphins swimming past.

    The owner is a photographer - Old Man and the Sea Photography. You will find his stunning beach photography hanging on the walls. All of his work is from local waterways. There are also two art murals on the walls, painted by a family friend, that add to the creative ambience.

    Enjoy your morning coffee or tea from the breakfast bar. There is a fully equipped kitchen, so you can enjoy meals together at the dining table or al fresco. There is a view of the Emerald Coast inside and out!

    Private walkover that goes over the sea oats and directly to the emerald blue waters and white sand beach.

    Beach gear (chairs, boogie boards, frisbees, kids toys) is provided.

    Nearby shopping, fishing, parasailing, water parks, mini-golf, Crab Island, scuba diving and snorkeling. Cute coffee shops, restaurants, live music, ice cream and waterfront parks. Destin and 30A are a short drive away.

    At night, chill with a board game, watch cable TV from every room, stargaze the beautiful night sky full of stars.

    Personal driveway with 4 parking spaces.

    Our townhouse is not for everyone. If you want to party until the wee hours of the morning, there are plenty of other units available. But if you don't mind being fairly quiet from 10:00 PM until 6:00 AM, and enjoy just kicking back with a margarita and a little Jimmy Buffett music, this should suit you fine.

    Welcome fellow Beachbums to your home away from home!

I will be back one day! We like to enjoy different scenery but I would come back to this house. The only thing I have to say is cooking for a family was a little difficult with limited pots and pans. We only cook a few times anyway on vacation so we made it work but we enjoyed our stay and the space the house offers. & the view and so close to the beach was amazing!

Our stay was very nice. The location is unbeatable, the beach was beautiful, and we did not find ourselves wanting for much. The house came with beach chairs and an umbrella, an outdoor shower, and a nice outdoor dining set that made experiencing the view very easy. I mentioned a few items to the host that could use some attention and they were quick to reply that they would make sure they were addressed for future guests. Overall we found the house to be pleasant, quiet and very peaceful. We are glad we stayed here.

My family and I had a great time at Beachbum's Hideaway. It had plenty of space for everyone and it was amazing being that close to the beach. The property was equipped with beach chairs and an umbrella, which was fantastic because it meant a few less things to pack. It is our hope to visit again should we ever be in the area. The hosts were great at communication and check-in was a breeze.

Beachbums hideaway was a terrific place to stay for our family. If you have older teenagers they’ll love having a little independence on the lower level. They had their own kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, not to mention a door straight out to the beach.

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful beach house. Loved the close proximity to the beach. Very much enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood. These hosts provide everything you need in the way of toiletries, laundry detergent, fabric softener sheets, dish detergent, dishwasher capsules, paper towels. They even have beach chairs and umbrellas available to take to the beach. Also, thoughtful enough to provide sunscreen and beach towels! The ONLY negative is that you step inside the door to immediately face 14 stairs up to the kitchen/living room/deck. Then 14 more up to the bedrooms (however, both do have en suite bathrooms). BUT, keep in mind, there is a lovely studio suite that a person can access without going up any stairs. I very much enjoyed all the awesome decor. Would we stay here again? In a heartbeat!

Amazing Place/Location

This is definitely my favorite place I’ve ever stayed in Florida! The condo has everything you need & you walk right outside & you’re on the beach. This was the first time I’ve actually had interaction with the host out of the many times I’ve used VRBO & they were so awesome & kind! I will definitely be returning here for a future stay & this will be my go to spot from here on out.

Fantastic beach bungalow right on the beach

My husband and I just spent a wonderful 5 days enjoying this precious little oasis! It’s perfect for a couples’ stay...cozy and chock full of everything you need from shampoo to charcoal, a well-supplied kitchen, sunscreen, fluffy beach towels, beach chairs & boogie boards, too. We can’t wait to visit again! Thank you, Dave & Ginny, for sharing your Hideaway with the rest of us! 😁
