About this property

Family Friendly!Steps to the Beach! !Enjoy Sunsets 🌅 at New 3 BR Beach Home!

“Off The Clock” is a stunning, one-of-a-kind property. It is the only brand new three bedroom, three bath home in the Crystal Beach neighborhood. This house was professionally decorated and furnished with no expense beings spared on selections for your comfort and pleasure. Better yet, it is a short stroll to our world famous white sandy beach and emerald, green water!

We have a designated beach “set-up” (two chairs and an umbrella) during the season (March through October). We are located steps from the beach with a beautiful private backyard retreat offering a *heated pool, outdoor shower, and a propane grill off the side entry of the yard. Perfect for cooking your fresh-caught gulf seafood! We have extra beach chairs and an umbrella to throw in our beach wagon so that your entire family can camp out for the day at the beach. We even included a heavy-duty cooler with beach wheels! The house is so close to the beach that you can come and go back and forth all day long. Once you’ve enjoyed enough of the beach, come back to the house, and indulge in the private heated 12 x 24 salt water swimming pool with generous deck space and multiple seating areas for socializing. The large grassy backyard is perfect for a game of catch or Frisbee!

Our house has several highly rated local restaurants in walking distance. We also have a variety of grocery stores located within a couple miles, including Whole Foods and Publix. Whichever food choice you make, we have a smartly appointed chef’s kitchen with every cooking utensil and serving dish that you will need. “Off The Clock” is brand new, just completed September 2021. This gorgeous three bedroom, three bath house has everything you need to have a memorable stay! We have tried to anticipate your every need. However, if we missed something or you need anything, the owners are local and live only a few miles away.

Relaxing “Destin”ation
Loved our stay in beautiful Destin this spring. This is our 3rd year in a row visiting the Crystal Beach area. This home is charming, exceptionally clean and has everything you could think of to make your stay a dream. We loved the heated pool, spacious back yard and how near you are to the white sandy beach. We will definitely look to stay at “Off the Clock” again next year. Till then.

Fall Break
Everything about the stay was flawless. The instructions and communication prior to arrival were complete and clear. The property was beautiful, clean, kitchen was better equipped than most homes. The location is just a few minute walk to beach. The reserved umbrella and chairs on beach were perfect. Also the wagon and beach chairs provided by owner were nice too. The backyard was great pool, and fire pit made for nice evenings. We will definitely be back.

Family Getaway
We absolutely loved this house! The property manager was wonderful and responded quickly with any questions that we had. The house is beautiful and well-outfitted and it was the perfect size for the six of us. We loved having our own pool and the backyard had a very fun atmosphere, and we also enjoyed just being a block away from the beach! We used the reserved beach chairs every day we were there. We will definitely stay there again when we are back in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Louise Buslow

Host profile image
Our names are Cliff and Kim, we have two adult children, Tyler, and Sophie…and a dog named Bentley! Cliff and I both came from other states, absolutely fell in love with Destin, and decided to make it our forever home. This home holds a lot of great history for us. It was one of the first homes to be built in Crystal Beach when Cliff moved here in 1988 and began developing and selling real estate in this area. Cliff proposed to me in this living room, and this was our home until we started our family and needed more space. Cliff’s Mother moved from Atlanta and lived here for the past 25 years, until the stairs became too much for her 85-year-old knees.

What began as a “remodel” project in early 2021 to update the home and add a pool, ended up being a “tear-down-to-the-studs and start new” project! We used premium finishes and housewares and high-end designer furnishings to provide you with the highest level of comfort and enjoyment as our guests. “Off-the-Clock” is a treasured family home that has never been on the rental program, until now. So, we hope you will treat it with love…as if it were your family home. If you should need anything, our permanent residence is only 2-miles away. Welcome! Enjoy! And please come back and stay again soon! We plan to add a 2-bedroom/2-bathroom cottage behind the pool within the next few years for additional occupancy.
