Tahitian Way is a rare, dog-friendly 5-bedroom, 4-bath designer home in Destin's Villages of Crystal Beach — where custom wall murals, two distinct living spaces, and thoughtful touches turn a family getaway into a lifelong memory. Sleeping 14 across three King bedrooms (two with en-suite baths), a Queen room, and a magical kids' bunk room with four built-in twins under a ceiling of glowing stars and a moon, this home was built for multi-generational gatherings. The massive seasonally-heated resort lagoon pool and community hot tub are just 1–2 minutes away, and you can walk the neighborhood sidewalks to the Pompano beach access or hop the seasonal trolley during spring and summer. Whether you're here for the Destin Fishing Rodeo in October, a summer beach reunion, or a fall getaway, this is your designer home base.

My family and I had a great time at the house. Everything was perfect!! House was clean and the kids enjoyed their rooms. Andrew was very helpful. We didn’t use the pool since the kids wanted to play in the sand at the beach. We will definitely book here again!
