About this property

Beach Service Included! Private Beach Access! Pet Friendly! Chateau La Mer 8A!

Beach Service Included!

This first-floor unit is located in the desirable community of Chateau La Mer, merely steps away from the main attraction and reason that millions of visitors continue to return, year after year–the sugar white sands and clear blue-green waters of Destin's spectacular beach. Check-in to this comfortable, spacious condo, drop off your luggage and stroll across the street to dip your toe in the surf and meander along the sand. Grab a seat on the beachfront patio of Captain Dave's on the Gulf and enjoy some of the best views in Destin, while sipping a cold beverage and nibbling on oysters, shrimp or crab. Can you feel the tension just floating away with the sea breezes? This is why you came!

Sleep soundly in the comfortable king bed in the master bedroom or a queen bed in the second bedroom. There is also a queen sleeper sofa in the open-concept living area that will accommodate additional guests or children. And the unit features for your relaxing pleasure. The well-equipped kitchen includes a breakfast bar and stacked washer and dryer–no need to do vacation laundry when you arrive back home!

And don't leave Fido behind! The Chateau La Mer community is perfect for pets. There are large grassy areas and sidewalks for strolling along beside the breathtakingly beautiful beach. And the amenities don't stop there. Submerge yourself in the large pool that is heated in the winter, volley with friends and family on the well-kept tennis courts, and entertain with the use of the outdoor grills, clubhouse and more. The neighborhood has no through-traffic, which is greatly appreciated by families with kids and/or pets.

Everything you need is nearby and Destin offers so many different recreational activities, there is something for every member of the family. From arts and culture to eco-tourism, from fine dining to quick bites, from sports and adventure to shopping and spas; the Destin area has it all. Rent a boat or paddleboard. Play golf or stumble upon a treasure on the beach or at one of the many shopping areas. Go deep-sea fishing or explore the famed, expansive Choctawhatchee Bay in what is known as the "world's luckiest fishing village." Destin-dining is also world-famous among foodies and regular folks alike. You can skydive, sail, cruise, dolphin watch, and explore the many opportunities that await you on the emerald shores of this stretch of the incredibly scenic panhandle of Florida. Or you can simply exhale and relax...

Pet Fees $100.00 per pet. Max of 2 Pets 50 lbs or under. For stays of 28 days and longer, an additional long-term pet fee of $150 is required. No Cats Allowed!

Had a wonderful stay at the condo. It was easy walk to beach and nice clean area. My only issue we had was the people who rented upstairs sounded like a buffalo herd above us all hours of the night. But would definitely stay again.

When we arrived to the property I was pleasantly surprised. We were overwhelmed and tired being that we traveled alot prior to finding this Condo at the last minute. It was a blessing and very welcoming and made us feel safe and at home will stay again.

Great location

Great location and convenient to the beach only a short walk, and the private beach is an absolute plus. Condo was well stocked to cook meals and A/C worked great, great shower in master bathroom as well. Only complaint would be better chairs on back porch the wicker chair needs to be trashed has a hole in the seating part. But overall loved your place and was very cozy, would definitely stay again!!!!!
