Halo by AvantStay | Walk to Beach + Private Pool

Beach gear rental credit is included at this property for qualifying stays. Read below for more details!

Halo is a remodeled coastal bungalow ready to welcome your group with a pool, separate carriage house, and an unbeatable location. Families will love the fact that the pool has a safety fence, while adults will enjoy hanging out around the fire pit and at the outdoor bar, complete with a TV so you can bring the entertainment outside.

Halo has a separate carriage house right by the pool, where you'll find a laid-back living area, a small wet bar to whip up poolside cocktails, and an upstairs bedroom. Whether you’re simply looking for some extra privacy or traveling with multiple families, the split layout between the carriage house and main home is perfect for groups!

When you're ready to switch from lounging poolside to relaxing on the shore, James Lee Beach is just a five-minute walk from your front door. Or, take a quick 20-minute drive toward the heart of Destin for waterparks, dining, and the bustling Destin Harbor Boardwalk. Whether you're here to relax or explore, Halo will help you fall in love with everything the Florida Panhandle offers.

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team. Whether it’s fridge stocking or in-home massages, AvantStay offers a variety of upgrades & experiences to enhance your stay.

AvantStay has partnered with VayK Gear, a beach gear delivery service provider, to offer beach gear rentals to our guests!

Guests with reservations of 2 to 14 nights at participating AvantStay properties will receive a credit towards beach gear rentals during your stay. The credit amount will vary based on your booking. You may use your credit for bicycles, chairs and umbrellas, beach carts, boogie boards, and more - the choice is yours!

Once you’ve made your reservation at one of our participating properties, be on the lookout for an email from VayK Gear to make your gear selection. If you reach the credit limit, you can still add additional items priced at their exclusive, discounted rates. To keep your vacation stress-free, your gear will be delivered to your rental property on the day you arrive and will be picked up the day you depart.

PLEASE NOTE: From mid-spring to early fall, beach gear inventory - especially bicycles - are in high demand and may be limited. We recommend reserving your gear as early as possible.
