Heated saltwater spa & pool, Private beach @3min walk

"destinhaven" - Escape to a luxurious vacation retreat, newly renovated to offer absolute comfort. A private heated saltwater pool & jetted spa, set in a front deck and porch with a large outdoor dining and grilling area, welcome you to chill and enjoy a family BBQ. Two levels of screened-in back balconies provide views of serene, protected wetlands. Enjoy a short walk to your private beach access without needing a golf cart. Experience true relaxation with these amenities tailored just for you.

|The Space|
Indoors:
Every room is designed to cater to your comfort. Four bedrooms feature luxurious new king-sized beds with hybrid mattresses. The fifth, a charming bunk room, includes four full beds - a playful escape for the younger ones.

Gather, laugh, and bond in our inviting family area, with ample seating, games, books and puzzles for all age groups. Large smart TVs in every bedroom (cable channels provided), including the bunk, and the living room, ensure entertainment is never more than a click away.

Three bathrooms offer private en suite access to the attached bedrooms. The fourth is conveniently accessible, serving both the bunk room and the living areas. All feature luxury weight bath towels and plentiful amenities for a comfortable stay.

The dining room, with a large table, invites guests to come together for casual meals or fine dining. Adjacent to it, the fully equipped kitchen features a center island and added counter seating overlooking the pool.

The full-size side-by-side washer and dryer in the hallway ensure you won't have to worry about packing too many clothes or finding a laundromat.

Outdoors:
Step out onto a spacious fully fenced-in deck and front porch. West facing view offer beautiful sunsets over the pool and provide an oasis of relaxation. This is a place where the calming waters of a saltwater spa and a luxurious pool beckon, offering both invigoration and warmth, as they can be heated to your comfort on cooler days or nights.

An array of seating options invites you to recline, chat, or simply soak in the tranquility. Our outdoor dining table stands ready for alfresco feasts, complemented by the savory aromas from the BBQ grill. You'll never be bored with our selection of outdoor games like Giant Jenga and corn hole. Our storage cabinet is fully stocked for a perfect day at the beach with chairs, a beach wagon, an umbrella, toys, and boogie boards.

At the rear, the residence boasts two levels of screened-in balconies, each providing an elevated view of the untamed beauty of nature's backyard as you hear the gentle music of wildlife.

Key Inclusions:
We take pride in providing nothing but the best for our guests, and that starts with our premium bedding. Our bathrooms do not skimp on the essentials - we've stocked full-size dispensers of shampoo, conditioner and bath gel. We've also thought of the little things that can make a big difference, like luggage racks in every bedroom, a generous supply of make-up wipes, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry soap, dishwasher soap, liquid dish soap, and trash bags. We know that convenience is key, which is why we've also included quality coffee packets and condiments. We want you to feel taken care of so you can lessen your trips to the store and focus on creating lasting memories in our home.

|Transit|
Very walkable with several restaurants at a 3-5 min stroll. A vehicle is needed for activities like shopping, golf, and nightlife. If you would like a 4 or 6-seat street-legal golf cart delivered and waiting upon arrival, let us know and we'll share our discount code with the best vendor in town.

• Enjoy the day, sand free at one of the panhandle’s largest water parks, Big Kahunas, just 1.5 miles away!

Wonderful place to be
The property was located in true walking distance to the beach! The house was stocked with essentials bath soap, shampoo, paper towels, dish tablets where we didn’t have to purchase. Also outdoor essentials were a big hit! The pool was great for kids! The only thing was the air didn’t cool off in certain rooms so it was a little warm. This house has plenty of room for large groups! We enjoyed it so much and definitely would rent again!

Best beach house rental!
This property is perfectly situated with a 3 minute walk to the beach, but on a quiet street with no traffic. House was fully stocked with every amenity. Host was phenomenal for proactive communication, this house specifically was the best in the neighborhood for its’ pool placement, depth and style. Hot tub was key and the beach supplies were plentiful.

Stay
The property owner demonstrated exceptional responsiveness. The accommodations exceeded expectations and surpassed our needs for essential amenities. While the weather was a bit chilly, a factor beyond the owner's control, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the venue. Given another opportunity, we would gladly make another reservation.
