"Morning Dove Cottage" is located in the beautiful, quiet Crystal Shores community and is great for a family beach vacation or a couples only getaway. Just minutes from restaurants, shopping, and only a three-five minute walk to sand and surf.
The ladies will enjoy the convience of shopping in the new Destin Commons outdoor mall while the guys enjoy Bass Pro Shop located only 3 blocks from the house. Publix is also only 3 blocks away and has anything you might want to stock the pantry with. Starbucks, Outback Steakhouse, Chili's, and Marble Slab Creamery are within walking distance.
In (2007) we put down new carpet, changing a color or two on the walls, and putting in new patio doors in the master bedroom. We have also added wireless internet so you can keep in contact with family and friends via email.
In (2008) we had new carpet installed, bought a new gas stove and microwave, and bought new
living room furniture.
(2009) we have put down a new floor in the greatroom area, changed a few paint colors, replaced some doors.
We enjoy sharing our house with you and like to keep things fresh by adding new touches each year especially for returning guest. We hope to hear from you soon!!!
