Then relax in the lush landscaping of the private courtyard, reminisce over the day's events, take a dip, or just sit and listen to the home’s namesake “Neptune”, a wall-mounted fountain, as he emits his spray into the private heated lagoon pool. The pool is enclosed, separate from the courtyard, and the first floor doors alarm when opened.
Neptune’s Nook is located directly on the corner of Scenic Gulf Drive and Miami Street. The coastal town of Destin is known as the "World's Luckiest Fishing Village" where the fresh catch of day can be enjoyed just up the street at great local restaurants such as "Pompano Joe's," "Captain Dave's," or "The Whale's Tail."
Just steps away you can enjoy wine tasting, gourmet coffee, grab a pizza, shop for souvenirs, or rent a scooter.

We stayed at Neptune's Nook this past summer with my husband's sister and her family. We LOVED the home. This summer trip is a tradition that we have with them and we have stayed in a different home each summer. We hope to be able to return to Neptune's Nook again for sure! It was not only clean and like brand new...it was convenient to the beach and everything else that we did. The layout of the home is great. The kids enjoyed the pool and the scenic sitting areas for playing games and visiting. When we left, my oldest daughter left behind her stuffed animal "Gigi puppy" and the owners Adele and Dale, were kind enough to arrange shipping Gigi to us. We were so very thankful for a fantastic vacation and the for the considerate and thoughful owners helping us rescue our daughter's Gigi! Book your stay here...you will be extremely pleased!

We had a great time at the beach and this property was wonderful. It was equipped with everything we needed and it was just a quick stroll to the beach. We made it a daily event biking on the paths and always ended up at Pompano Joes. The split level house was nice becasue after a busy day at the beach, our group could get some down time until we were ready for our next adventure.

My family and I were there for the 4th. The house is wonderful. Dale & his family were so helpful and courteous. This is in such a great location. Right in the middle of all the great things Destin is known for, plus the Beach access is absolutely the best there is in town - other than those homes right on the Beach themselves. But I'm not sure I would trade for one right on the Beach. The amenities of this house, including the swimming pool, were perfect. Highly recommended. Craig

This was a great house, everything was as stated in the description of the home by the owner. It was even better than we anticipated. This was our fifth trip to Destin. Would definitely recommend this house. Location to beach was great.

All of the comments posted are accurate. Great location, great property, GREAT owners, and great features to the house. Our family had a really nice vacation at this property and with everything close by, we rode our bikes everywhere- stores, dinner. Looking forward to a return visit!

My family and I had a great time staying at Neptune's Nook. The house had plenty of space for everyone to spread out, but there was also plenty of room for our entire group to congregate together. You could not beat the location. The beach was right across the street, and everything that we needed was close by. The owners were great to work with, and they should be proud of their beautiful beach home! We look forward to staying again if the opportunity presents itself.

What an outstanding location and property. This house has every thing you could need for a great stay in Destin. The house is decorated to the hilt and even has an awesome home sound system that really adds to the whole beach experience. The owners are very easy to work with and very informative. I highly recommend this property. Frangista Beach area is great for kids and adults. You can't go wrong with Neptune's Nook.

Our family stayed at Neptune's Nook August 1-8,2009. It has the perfect location, just a few steps to the beach. There were 9 of us on this trip, 5 parents and 4 youth ages 14 - 24. The layout of the house was perfect for our group. Everything that we needed was in the house and the small pool was great for cooling off after baking on the beach. We have come to Destin every year for the last 10 years and always stay in a house and have had anywhere from 6 to 17 people. We will definately stay in this one again. Even if groups had younger children that may go out unattended, the house had an alarm to alert the lower door being opened. Great place to stay. Thanks to the Brown's for renting it to us. Hope to be there again next year. The Oglesby Family

We had a great family vacation at Neptunes Nook. This was our favorite rental in the Destin area so far. We really liked the layout of the house and loved the location right across the street from the beach. We also enjoyed the private pool and patio area.

We absolutely loved Neptune's Nook. We had 5 adults and 8 kids and we fit just fine. The foosball table was a real hit. It really is just a few steps away from the beach. We were there for one of the busiest weeks of the year and the beach was really not that crowded. The pool is perfect for washing off after a long day at the beach. We will most definitely be going back. I feel like we've finally found our spot in Destin that we can return to year after year.
