Beach Cottage Steps to Priv, Access! Deck, Hammock, FirePit, Walk to Dining/Bar

We ❤️ our Vrbo guests! This beach cottage is VERY popular for Spring Break and close to the vibrant & active Snowbird community here, so book early!

Welcome to Mojito Grande—where flip-flops are formal wear and sandy feet are a badge of honor!

Where You'll Sleep:
・Bedroom 1: Twin floor bunk with stairs (no scary ladder!)—kids love it. TV for cartoons or quiet time.
・Bedroom 2: Comfy queen bed with a cloud-like hybrid mattress. Sweet dreams guaranteed.
・Bedroom 3 (Primary): King bed so cozy you might not want to leave. Private bathroom with a dual-head shower that feels like a spa.
・Two Full Bathrooms: One with a tub (great for sandy kiddos), one en suite with that amazing dual-head shower.

Where You'll Hang Out:
・Living Room: Bright and airy with a big TV and an oversized bean bag that fits the whole family
・Kitchen: Everything you need to whip up pancakes, tacos, or whatever fuels your beach adventures. Both drip and K-cup coffee makers because morning java is serious business.
・Dining: Island seating for 4 plus extra spots for snacking
・Front Deck: The real star! Flowing curtains, a swinging egg chair, a hammock, and a café table perfect for sunset happy hour
・Ground Level: Fire pit for s'mores, outdoor shower for sandy returns, and a shed full of beach toys

The Practical Stuff: Full laundry, parking for 3 cars, and all the creature comforts you'd expect.

BEACH TIME!
One block = 160 steps = you on the beach in about 2 minutes. You'll get wristbands from the beach access people after you arrive (we'll send you the details beforehand). Our beach shed is stocked with a wagon, chairs, and toys so you don't have to pack half your garage.

Want beach chair service with umbrellas? Just contact the vendors on the beach—they'll set you up!

WHAT'S NEARBY
Walk to:
・Beach (obviously!)
・Bad Ass Coffee (because vacation mornings deserve good coffee)
・Pompano Joe's (fresh seafood & beach vibes)
・EC Winery (cheers!)
・Ice cream, pizza, and beachy shops

Quick Drive:
・Groceries, Chick-fil-A, outlets for shopping therapy
・All the Destin and 30A hot spots

WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED
Arrive and relax—we provide the essentials:
・Fluffy towels (bath and beach!)
・Quality bedding
・Starter supplies: TP, paper towels, trash bags, soaps, laundry stuff
・Beach gear: wagon, chairs, toys, towels
・Kitchen basics (replace what you use, please!)
・Pack-n-Play and high chair (just ask!)

Bring:
・Sunscreen (don't forget!)
・Your favorite drinks and snacks
・Good vibes only

THE EASY STUFF
・Check-In: 4:00 PM (keyless entry—so easy!)
・Check-Out: 10:00 AM
・WiFi: Fast and free
・AC: Yep, we've got you
・Parking: Room for 3 vehicles

Sorry, we can't do early check-ins or late check-outs—our cleaning team needs time to make everything perfect for the next guests!

THE IMPORTANT STUFF (AKA THE RULES)
We're pretty chill, but a few things to keep everyone happy:

The Big No-Nos:
・No smoking/vaping (seriously, anywhere—$525+ fee if you do)
・No pets
・No parties (this isn't MTV Spring Break)
・No glitter (it's the craft herpes—impossible to clean!)
・No hair dye or fabric dye (our towels are traumatized enough)

Be a Good Human:
・County Quiet time: 10pm-8am (neighbors need sleep too)
・Max 6 guests (fire codes aren't suggestions)
・Only people on the reservation, please

For Your Safety:
・Exterior cameras may be there to watch the outside (not you, promise)
・Noise monitors make sure we stay cool with the community (they don't record conversations)

Oops Protection: Broke a wine glass? Spilled something? We cover accidental damage up to $500—just tell us during your stay and snap a photo. No judgment, we've all been there!

BEFORE YOU BOOK
After booking, we'll send you a link to dot the i's and cross the t's:
・Quick ID upload (keeping things safe)
・$300 refundable security deposit
・Sign the rental agreement (it's not that long, we promise)
・Tell us who's coming

Pro tip: Get travel insurance! Life happens, and it's nice to have backup.

Great spring break!

Chuck & Vicki has set the standard for best hosts! The property location is great, minutes away from Destin and Fort Worth and not a bad drive out to PCB if you’re up for an adventure. The guidebook these hosts created came in VERY handy throughout our stay - we really enjoyed the local dining recommendations and the “Things To Do” section. Everything exceeded our expectations and we definitely want to come back during the next trip to the Gulf!!

Awesome Beach House

The house has everything needed for a very pleasurable stay. The kitchen has updated appliances and everything needed to prep, cook, and/or bake. The towels and bedding are clean and comfortable. I appreciated the ample private parking. The neighborhood was quiet and family friendly with beach access just a very short walk away. Would love to return again!

Great for kids!

We spent three nights at this lovely home and it was absolutely wonderful. Not all places are actually kid-friendly but this house was excellent for us. We had four adults, a three year old, and a two year old. It wasn’t too far of a walk to the beach for any of us, including the kids, and we were able to go back and forth as needed. Overall a wonderful weekend away and very thankful for the opportunity to stay here!

Our First Home Rental Experience A++++

We had the absolute BEST time staying at this home! This was the first time we ever rented a VRBO. I was very hesitant because I can be a hotel snob, but this home and the owners exceeded my expectations!! The home was spotless, it had every amenity plus extras to get us through our first night with out needing to go to the grocery store as soon as we arrived. The location was perfect!! Walkable to the beach! The owners were very responsive! I can’t say enough good things about our stay. Thank you!!

Great Place To Stay For A Relaxing Getaway!

I want to start out by saying the hosts were amazing! They are prompt with responses, are very accommodating, and makes the process so smooth. We had a last minute booking, and the process was smoother than butter! Now onto the house. The house is beautiful!! My family and I loved it, from the cute decor to the variety of bright, beachy colors. The house definitely embodied the beach house vibe, and the added comforts were a sweet addition! The house was very well kept, extremely clean and well stocked. We went out and bought groceries, but the hosts have every pot, pan, and utensil that you’ll need. Several amenities, so don’t pack too heavy! The location is close to the beach, and there are so many things in the shed that are useful if you are coming with littles! The house is very accommodating for families. I would definitely stay again if I visit Destin again! We enjoyed our stay!

Great Location, Perfect Size for Small Family

We had a great time. This is a really good size place for a family of 4. Our boys really loved the hammocks. This is a great location in Frangista Beach. It's walking distance to all our favorites. With services like Shipt and Instacart to handle our groceries, we didn't need a car all week. The kitchen was one of the better stocked ones we've been in, and we have stayed at several rentals in Frangista Beach. The beds were comfy and the neighborhood is nice and quiet. We slept great. Our only suggestion is better furniture in the living room. We like to enjoy a movie as we wind down for the night. We made do, but could have used more couch space. That's being nit-picky.

Welcome fellow travelers!

We're Vicki & Chuck: grandparents, retired, and living our lives exploring amazing places and having wonderful adventures.

We've been hosts for 8+ years and have over 1,000 5★ reviews from our guests. We love what we do and we put our hosting earnings back into the vacation rental community.

Message us if you have any questions or concerns. We do our best to give every guest a great experience. So, let us show you we will earn your 5-star review.

Why they chose this property

MOJITO GRANDE was such a unique home in a great community, we recognized it as a diamond in the rough. With some elbow grease and effort, we turned it into a cozy beach cottage reminiscent of one from a long stay in the Dominican Republic many years ago.

What makes this property unique

Being so close to the beach means no worries with loading up the car, driving to it, searching for parking, then repeating the whole process when leaving.

Want to go to the beach? Just walk out of MOJITO GRANDE's front door and take a 2 minute stroll to the end of the block and another 1 minute to the access point and you are there! MOJITO GRANDE is only 200 steps from the sand!
