Nice people, clean, considerate. I hope they stay with us again. Highly recommended.
We were fortunate to find this property on short notice. We needed a place with multiple queen beds for 6 adults and those accommodations are hard to find. This property was perfect with plenty of large beds and 3 toilets!! :) .. The community was private and quiet. The beach is a 5-10 minute walk. A quick drive to the nearby beach access. There's a grocery store and pharmacy close by and the beach shop is just down the street. The property was clean and well stocked. Wish we could've stayed longer and will likely be back in the future. Thanks Jerry for hosting us!

Why they chose this property
Our House is located in the fabulous Gulf Walk complex, right across the street from Emerald beach (5 min walk) and less than a mile to Winn Dixie--a close place for groceries. The Surf Hut, across the street, is excellent for a fried grouper sandwich, and you're one mile from a great outlet shopping center.
Gulf Walk Complex is centrally located in the heart of everything you need for a fabulous vacation! With its prime location, a lot of exciting activities await you here! A beach trip will only be complete with thrill-seeking beach activities, such as parasailing, jet-skiing, or banana boating, so head on to the watersports rentals and water parks nearby for a fun and unforgettable adventure! If you are looking for something unique and more extreme, the adventure parks or off-road tours nearby are worth the experience!
For retail therapy, the premium outlet malls are just minutes away from our beach home. We’re just a few miles from Silver Sands Factory Outlet, the nation’s large designer factory, featuring over 100 name-brand designer stores. Also nearby is the Destin Commons, with incredible eateries, upscale shopping, a park with pop-up fountains at its center, and favorites like Bass Pro Shops and Hard Rock Cafe. Grand Boulevard Town Center is a pedestrian-friendly shopping and dining complex just off Emerald Coast Parkway and has a movie theater! Indeed, you will never run out of things to do while on vacation with us!
Dining options in this area are endless. We recommend trying the Whales Tail for one of the freshest seafood-inspired menus in the area and mesmerizing ocean views. Pompano Joes is another local favorite. Other great eateries include Mitchell's Fish Market, P. F. Chang's China Bistro, Cantina Laredo Gourmet Mexican Food, and numerous others.
What makes this property unique
We recommend checking out Dolphin Reef if snorkeling is on your itinerary. Located just 685 feet from the Miramar Regional Public Beach Access (by Pompano Joe's), you can enjoy an up close and personal view of the amazing sea life that calls the reef home. Each of the four snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of the permitted sea bottom. The Dolphin Reef is at a depth of 12-20 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or another flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often.
