About the host

Hosted by Patrick McCaghren

Host profile image
This is my personal vacation home. I've owned it for many years and keep it clean and updated. Very private yet right in the heart of Destin (see map). Just as quiet and peaceful as the day I bought it! Drive right up to the front door and unload your car (no elevator hassle). Short 3 minute, 200 yard walk to the beach. 290+ positive reviews on VRBO.

You will work directly with me before, during and after your stay. No middleman which typically adds $100’s to the total rental fee. Be sure and look at the total charge (right below the nightly rate) when comparing condo charges.

Hope to have you as a guest soon.
Patrick (owner)
