A new Publix shopping center which is 3 miles up the road also has a Starbuck's for that coffee fix and really great new fine restaurants.(We have provided a folder with menus from some of the area restaurants along 98 and 30-A from Destin to Sea Grove).

There are cards and board games for evenings of family fun, and a bookshelf filled with books for reading on the beach or in the shade relaxing on the porch with your favorite cocktail or cup of coffee.
Beach Umbrellas, chairs, crab nets, boogie boards and beach toys for building that "one in a million" Sand Castle are located in the storage area underneath the house.
There are many Great Golf Courses nearby to include Camp Creek, Burnt Pines, Regatta Bay, Kelly Plantation and of course the Santa Rosa Beach and Golf Club is just one mile up the road.
The large driveway has enough room for four to five vehicles with covered parking for two.
Enjoy visiting the boutique shops and restaurants at nearby Gulf Place which has children's activities, an artists colony, Day Spa, and movie night on the lawn every week. From April to September there is a free concert every Sunday night. The local surf shop (Moon Doggies Surf and Sport) provides tennis rental, lessons and surf boards and just up about a half mile is a scooter rental shop. Miss Lucille's is a great little coffee shop there where you can also purchase "beach drinks" and ice cream. The Smiling Fish cafe has good salads and sandwiches and there is a new pizza place on the upper level.
Water parks, putt putt, movies, outlet shopping and more are just five miles away in Sandestin. And Bay Town Wharf, just 5 minutes up the road has wonderful restaurants, boutique shops, concerts and boat trips.
Bring your bikes (or rent them) and traverse the 20 mile bike path which runs the length of 30-A. You can explore all sorts of interesting and unusual shops, good restaurants, architecture from weird to wonderful, lakes, state parks, and all manner of little beachtowns, each with its own personality (Rosemary, Seaside, Grayton Beach, Blue Mountain, Santa Rosa etc.)
Evenings on the beach are the best. Starting with the amazing sunsets (which also can be viewed from the porch) and finishing up with a walk along the beach at night looking for ghost crabs with the flashlight. The name of the game is to relax and have fun. We have tried to provide all the things you would need for a fun filled relaxing vacation. Come and enjoy the beauty of this little slice of paradise!

Several of my friends and I stayed at this beautiful property for a week in mid August. The house is perfect for a group, the beach is a short walk and once you're there it is PERFECT. The neighbors are friendly and the nights are quiet and relaxing. I highly recommend this property to families and adult groups, it was a wonderful vacation.
Recommended for:Families with teenagers, tourists without a car, families with young children.

We stayed at this property in June during the time of the oil spill. The beaches were beautiful! The property was great. It was just like our own home on the beach. The beach was within walking distance which was great. Highly recommend this property for families and couples who love the quiet beaches with out the hustle and bustle of a city. If you like city life, you can drive to Destin. Thanks for the opportunity to stay here. The rates were excellent as well. We would stay here again and again.
Owner response:Thank you Chrissy - I am glad you all had a wonderful time! We like to hear that our guests feel at home in our place. Thank you for choosing us.
Recommended for:Girls getaway, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, age 55+, sightseeing, families with young children.

The house was more than we expected. Pictures don't do it justice. It is a beautiful area and close to the beach. It easily accomodated 10 people. We loved the big screen TV and the view from the balcony. Our visit to Baytowne Village only a few minutes away, bike rentals at Big Daddy's and kayak rentals in Seagrove were just some of the many things to do from this convenient location. The friendly neighbors- just another plus.

Pictures truly do not describe this place. The beaches and view are gorgeous, which is equally matched by the beautiful house. The house has everything to make your vacation spectacular (grill, big screen tv, beach toys, etc.) and it is a hop, skip, and a jump away from the beach. The LaMothe family provided us with loads of information about the area to make our stay even better. They were very accommodating and a great family to rent from.

Great place for a vacation. Plenty of close resturants, shopping and beaches. The master suite is amazing to stay in with the view of the Gulf waters. Downtown Destin is within 10minutes to more great shopping, nightclubs and other entertainment spots.
