More About Big House by the Sea: Spectacular Gulf Front Private Home with Breathless Views on all 3 Floors, this stunning space was designed for gathering! The main living level spans the entire Gulf-front side of the home, allowing guests to cook, dine, lounge, and enjoy unobstructed Emerald Coast views together in one spectacular open-concept space.That's what makes this home different from a typical luxury beach rental. It feels more like a boutique beachfront resort that happens to be a private home.
The exterior areas are nothing short of magnificent with a private walkover to one of the least busy sections of Destin's beautiful Crystal beach, where 8 beach chairs and 4 umbrellas await your front row enjoyment. Big House by the Sea offers one of the largest gulf front private pools with 12 person spa, outdoor seating and lounging on all 3 decks, outdoor grilling and TV on first floor, and outdoor dining and stargazing on the 3rd floor. There is even a quiet rocking chair 3rd floor deck off the Children's play area. There are 8 beach bikes out front and a golf cart for 6 for your Crystal Beach exploration, including Crab Trap, Captain Daves, Pompano Joes, Whales Tale, Kenny D's, Henderson Resort. And top rated Camilles, the morning/afternoon coffee/cocktail outdoor venue with live music and indoor upstairs cozy pub offering fresh Sushi and Seafood plus Pizza and Bar Favorites is just half a block down!

The second floor boasts the 16 person Victor Movie Theater (The Vic!) with Dolby Surround Sound, recliner seating, a hidden Concession area and Jack Sparrow manning the ticket booth. The Game room is complimented with Bar Top Video Gaming, Full Size Golden Tee, Star Wars and Jurassic Park Pinball arcades, Pool Table, Poker Table, and a closet full of board games and puzzles to enjoy. Perfect for after hours entertainment or when you need a break from the sun!
The main floor gulf front, indoor swivel glider seating with unobstructed gulf front views is a favorite for morning coffee and happy hour wind downs. A 72” TV with both cable and smart capacity ensures you don't miss any sporting or entertainment events, with sectional seating and dining for 30 adjacent. The massive kitchen is a cook's delight, with double ovens, double dishwashers, double microwaves and extra beverage refrigerators plus a bar top for 12. Hire a personal chef and let them cook in front of you for a fun evening, or hire a Shrimp Boil or Mr. Hibachi for even more options (“sake, sake!”)
Each of the 7 bedrooms was designed for comfort and privacy, and ALL have their own en-suite, spectacular bathrooms. The owners suite on 3rd floor is one of a kind with a private, gulf front balcony extending the entire width of the home, a full kitchen, TV/dining lounge, en-suite expansive double vanities, deep bath with chromotherapy and 10'x10' rain shower.

The home was designed so that every room is comfortable for everyone, and every room is unique and special!
