Very impressive condo with everything you can possibly need to feel right at home. The upstairs area and rooms allow for extra private space, a major plus. The porches allow for fresh air or a place to keep your gear. Being able to walk to the beach, jetties and new park was super convenient. Host was very accommodating and responsive. Highly recommended this property!

Such attention to detail to provide all the comforts of home...nothing overlooked! And she didn't forget your fur baby either.

The location is perfect. Walking distance to more secluded beach, but can drive and park there as well. Five minute drive to harbor walk with all the restaurants and water rentals. The property is very clean and the area is very dog friendly with all the pet areas and low traffic. The host is very responsive if you need anything. Great spot for a week at the beach and crab island.

Everything was perfect! The property was just as described and accommodated our family well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I would definitely recommend this property. The only drawback was the 2 vehicle maximum as we had parts of our group that came from different areas (this was conveyed up front) but that was the only drawback. TheThe host was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had and with ensuring that we had everything we needed. We are already planning our return visit.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure hosting you and your family. We really appreciate your understanding regarding the two-vehicle parking limit. We wish we had more parking available for our guests, but unfortunately that’s an HOA restriction beyond our control. We’re so glad it didn’t take away from your overall experience and that you enjoyed your stay. We’d love to welcome you back anytime and look forward to hosting you again!

About the host

Hosted by Meghan Grooms

Host profile image
I grew up in South Florida and now live in Central Texas with my husband, our two kids, and our furry crew. We’ve always loved the beach, and I especially love paddleboarding—so finding this spot felt like a dream.

We’ve poured a lot of love into this home and hope it gives you the same relaxing, memory-filled experience it gives our family.

Why they chose this property

Destin became special to me the very first time my dad brought me here over 10 years ago. The white sand, the clear teal water, and the warmth of the area left a lasting impression that never faded.

I always dreamed of coming back not just as a visitor, but as someone who could create a space for others to experience it too. Now that dream has come true, and it means so much to be able to share this place with guests and help them create their own Forever Remembered Vacations here.

What makes this property unique

This home stands out for its prime, walkable location—beach access in multiple directions and the ability to paddle or water taxi to HarborWalk Village and Crab Island.

You’re close to everything—restaurants, coffee, shopping—while still enjoying a cozy, peaceful retreat. From dolphin sightings to seasonal fireworks from the deck, this is where location meets experience.
