About the host
Hosted by Rebekah Loos
My husband and I have 3 boys and live in TX. We love visiting Destin's soft white sandy beaches and clear water, boating, jet skiing, and exploring the state parks.
Why they chose this property
The water and beach is the most beautiful in the US and even better than some Caribbean destinations. No water shoes required, safe environment, short flights, and access to healthcare if needed are just a few of the reasons we chose Destin. The house is clean, updated, and has amazing views. The location is perfect! There is a guarded community on one side and an empty lot on the other so not a lot of crowds. We are not in a HOA or neighborhood and we own the beach all the way to the wet sand so our beach is private and only our guests are allowed on it. Several restaurants within walking distance, and premium outlet mall is a few miles away.
What makes this property unique
A private beach Bikes 10-person spa Kayak Body and Skim boards Beach Service Master, second bedroom, main living areas, and laundry room are all on one floor. Home sits closer to water and has unobstructed views. Not in an hoa so you can use a sunshade or set up a volleyball net.
