More About Honu Hale:
Honu Hale is a luxurious vacation home located in Destiny by the Sea – an exclusive private community in Destin hosting some of the most beautiful homes on the Gulf Coast. The name Honu Hale is Hawaiian for Turtle House which is the perfect name for this tropical hideaway. With a private beach access inside the neighborhood, you'll be able to walk to the beach in just two minutes! The home also features a fresh-water pool for irritant-free swimming right in the backyard. For an additional charge, the pool can be heated as well. The home comes with plenty of built-in entertainment like the second-floor game room and an outdoor pool table on the second-level balcony.
On the first floor, you will find a gourmet kitchen with stainless steel upgrades and appliances including a double oven, a 5-burner gas stove, side-by-side refrigerator, and two dishwashers. Two kitchen islands provide plenty of seating and food preparation space. Adjacent to the kitchen lies a seating area with a flat-screen TV, two wing back chairs, and a love seat.
Now, let's talk more about that game room mentioned earlier! On the second floor, you'll find a huge Game and Media Room. This room includes foosball, an old-school arcade table (featuring the Ms. Pacman game), air hockey, and two mounted, flat screen TVs! Head down the hallway and out onto the balcony where you'll find the pool table for continued entertainment! Members of your group will surely be competing for who gets to stay in the bedrooms on the game room floor!
Two beautiful guest suites with king size beds can be found on the second floor as well. Both have access to their own full bathroom. The game room also holds a sleeper sofa for additional sleeping arrangements. The third floor houses two grand Master suites with private bathrooms and private balcony access. The columned balconies are ideal for enjoying the gulf breeze and calming atmosphere of living near the beach. An additional bedroom on the third floor holds two queen-over-queen bunks and a twin bunk.
This home offers all the entertainment you could want for your family on a vacation with its private pool, neighborhood beach access, and game room! The location is perfect as well. A town-favorite restaurant, the Crab Trap Restaurant is just down the street. A private community pool is also nearby with a clubhouse to serve owners and guests of Destiny by the Sea.
