About this property
Aquamare - Main House + Guest House, Heated Private Pool, Game Room!
What You Will Love About Aquamare
Just one block from the sugar-white sands of the Gulf, Aquamare combines a private heated pool, spacious indoor-outdoor living, and a rare 7-bedroom layout that comfortably accommodates large families and groups. With more than 3,500 square feet spread between a beautifully remodeled main house and a private carriage house, there is plenty of room to gather together while still enjoying personal space.
The main house welcomes you with bright coastal interiors, a fully equipped kitchen featuring quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances, and an inviting dining area designed for memorable meals. The comfortable living room offers a relaxing place to unwind after a day at the beach, while the game room—with a pool table and classic Pac-Man arcade game—creates a fun gathering space for guests of all ages. A king suite with a walk-in shower is conveniently located on the first floor.
Upstairs, three additional king bedrooms provide restful accommodations, including one with a private walk-in shower. Two king bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a tub/shower combination, while a bunk room featuring a triple-full bunk offers a fun and flexible sleeping arrangement for kids, teens, or additional guests.
The private carriage house serves as its own retreat. The first floor includes a king bedroom with a queen sleeper sofa, kitchenette, dining area, and a hall bath with a walk-in shower. Upstairs, another king bedroom with a queen sleeper sofa, private walk-in shower, cozy sitting area, and charming sloped ceilings creates a peaceful escape for extended family or guests seeking added privacy.
Outside, the fenced backyard is designed for relaxation and connection. Spend sunny afternoons lounging beside the pool, enjoy shaded conversations beneath the cushioned cabana, or start the day with coffee on the screened porch. Pool heating is available seasonally from October through April for an additional fee of $50 per day. A complimentary street-legal six-passenger golf cart makes beach trips, dining outings, and local exploring effortless throughout your stay.
What You Will Love About Crystal Beach
Aquamare’s location in the beloved Crystal Beach neighborhood places you close to everything that makes a Destin vacation special. The quiet residential setting offers a laid-back coastal atmosphere while still keeping you within easy reach of beaches, dining, shopping, and entertainment.
The short walk to the Gulf allows you to enjoy spontaneous beach days without the hassle of loading up the car. After the beach, return to your private backyard oasis for a refreshing swim or an evening under the stars. The neighborhood’s charming beach cottages, palm-lined streets, and welcoming atmosphere make it one of Destin’s most sought-after vacation destinations.
What You Will Love About Destin

The Henderson Beach Inn is approximately a minute away and features multiple restaurants, including a rooftop bar that is perfect for sunset cocktails and Gulf views.
Local favorite Camille’s at Crystal Beach is just around the corner, making it easy to enjoy fresh seafood and casual coastal dining. A quick golf cart ride brings you to Destin Commons, where you'll find popular restaurants, boutiques, family attractions, and entertainment options.

The house was very clean. The bed in the down stairs bedroom was a little uncomfortable. The foam top and on it was very broke in. The top apartment above garage needed cleaned a little better. But overall we had a very good time and it definitely met all of our requirements. We had a very good time and definitely all enjoyed it! I would definitely stay again!
