Welcome to Hourglass, an AvantStay home!

There’s nothing but tan lines and good times in this picturesque beach house. This is the place to be if you’re looking for a healthy dose of ocean air. Pool parties, al fresco dinners, and double balconies for lounging- you can have it all in this bright and charming abode. Inside, you’ll find plush furnishings and fun touches, including a shuffleboard table, record player, and board games galore. An open floor plan means your group can comfortably mosey from one living area to the next and enjoy each other’s company in a spacious setting after a lively day at the beach.

Adults and large groups also flock here for beach parties during the day and live music in the evening. Once the sun sets, the Destin Harbor turns up with lively bars, restaurants and dancing.

December Destin
Very well equipped home with plenty of room for our family stay in mid December. Beautiful views, convenient location, quiet neighborhood. The only negative was the additional cost for out of season pool heat was not clear in the listing and outside of our budget once we made the booking. Otherwise a wonderful locale in Destin.
