Beach Friends Forever Destin, across from the beach, w Pickleball and Mahjong!
Located in the desirable Ciboney Condominiums, just steps from sugar-sand beaches and emeralds green water, this sophisticated 3-bedroom, 2 bath condo, is in a prime location for enjoying the best of what iconic Destin has to offer. With bright and open living spaces, it is perfect for family and friends to gather and entertain when not out enjoying this true gem of Emerald Coast. We even have a Pickleball court! It will become your Beach Friend Forever in Destin!
In whichever direction you go from Ciboney, you are close to the renowned restaurants, shopping and famed watering holes of Scenic Gulf Drive and the Emerald Coast Parkway. Because of Destin's fishing roots, many local seafood joints have stood the test of time. Just out your front door to the right, less than a 5-minute walk, is Pompano Joe’s, just one of those famous local fish houses and bars. There is no better way to eat seafood or enjoy a refreshing drink, than right on the beach. Need some extra beachwear, gear, or souvenirs, just out your front door to the left is Alvin’s Island. The premier place for all your needs on the Emerald Coast. If you're looking to shop, Destin has you covered! From outlets to high-end jewelry stores, boutiques and craft shops, and everything in between. The Silver Sands Premium Outlet is just 2 miles away. Up and down Scenic Gulf Drive and the Emerald Coast parkway is every type of cuisine and shopping opportunity you can imagine.
Beach Friends Forever Destin’s open floor plan allows you to be together in a relaxing and comfortable environment. The kitchen can be your focal point as it has everything you need to make gourmet meals that would rival any restaurant in Destin. BFF provides you with an electric stove top and oven, plenty of granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances that can transform you into a master chef. When relaxing means simple and all you need is a quick snack and beverage, this kitchen provides that with ease.
The separate dining and living areas allow for all the relaxing or entertaining you desire. The large flat-screen TV is visible throughout so no one will miss the last play of the game or scene of a movie. You are on the Emerald Coast, so head out to the balcony to feel the ocean breeze, enjoy the sunset and perhaps an after-dinner drink. Yes, that sound you hear, as you look to your left, that is the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Start your day from here, with a nice cup of coffee or hot tea, as the sun rises, the sounds of the gulf will put you in the right frame of mind for your beach vacation.
Beach Friends Forever extends its luxury and sophistication to the 3 bedrooms. Sleep comfortably in any of the rooms after a long and exhausting day at the beach, shopping or just needing to continue your relaxing visit. The master bedroom has its own, ensuite, full bathroom with large walk in shower. The second bedroom has a lovely King bed with a full bathroom. The bunk room is a cozy space for kids. While maybe not places you will spend much time in, when you do, you will do so in style and comfort.
Destin is home to magnificent white-sugar sand beaches that make visiting here unforgettable! The powdery grains of sand make a distinctive "squeak" noise as you walk through to find your ideal spot. From that spot, wade in to the crystal clear waters. You can hear the waves. You can see the emerald green water from the balcony. You are ready to head to the beach. It couldn’t be any easier to get there from BFF. Directly across the street is the gate to the private beach access for the guests of Ciboney. Through the gate you walk straight down to the beach you have heard so much about. Want to add a little excitement to the beach? Jet-ski, parasailing and paddle board rentals are all located on the beach, in front of Pompano Joe's.
Kids want some pool time? Head down to the Ciboney pool where you can continue to enjoy the Florida sun without the sand. The pool is heated in the winter and early spring months. Why mess up the kitchen when you can cook under the Florida sky at our outdoor grills. Tennis or Pickleball anyone? Enjoy the courts for a friendly match or just a little exercise.
Once you’ve become acquainted with your Beach Friends Forever Destin, you get to decide how often you'll be back. One thing is certain... you will be back!

We had such a nice time! The condo was very clean, spacious, stocked, and had an easy walk to the beach. It had everything you could possibly need for the beach and it was very nice!
Had a wonderful time. Great location. Beach is across the street (private access so not crowded). Communication was excellent. Received all necessary information in a timely manner. Will definitely stay again.
A wonderful place to stay! The condo was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our beach vacation. The beach toys were such a great bonus for the kids! It’s just a short walk to the beach, with private access that kept it peaceful and it wasn’t crowded at all. Communication with Kelly was great. We can’t wait to come back and stay at Beach Friends Forever again! Thank you, Kelly & family! :)

Very nice and comfortable stay. Beach access was very close and convenient especially when you have lots of toys and chairs to carry. I appreciated that beach chairs were provided in the condo, it was one less thing we had to pack ourselves.

Great location: plenty of space for the 5 of us. Beach is so close and easy to pop over there for a few minutes or the whole day. Owner is quick to respond.

Cathy, I am so glad you enjoyed your beach time at our condo! Please remember us for your next beach getaway.
We had a wonderful stay! I picked this property based on the great reviews and i can say i picked right. Great location, comfy condo, well stocked, pool, pickleball, plenty of parking, and walking distance to food and shopping. Kelly was very responsive when i sent her a message during our stay. We had a great time. Highly recommended!
The location is absolutely perfect to the beach...simply walk across the street. The condo was so clean and had everything we needed. The host is wonderful to work with as well. Highly recommend this rental.
We had a great trip. Location was great with easy beach access. Pool could have been bigger but not overcrowded by any means. I will say I have never had an owner more accessible than Kelly. We would certainly stay there in the future and if you need more space she has other owners who can offer another condo if we come back with another family. She’s like texting with an old friend.

Brian, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We hope to host you again next year.
We had the best time. The condo was just as it said. We loved it and hope to be back soon. It had everything you would need for your perfect beach vacation. It was very clean. The beds were comfortable. It was right across the street from the beach and within walking distance to some shops and food places. I would definitely recommend this place. Thank you for sharing your home away from home with us.
Our family had an amazing vacation in Destin. Our stay at the condo was super convenient. The condo is centrally located to the beach, restaurants, and shops. The number one perk is the host providing all the beach gear needed for your stay. Kelly was very responsive and easy to work with. The condo was clean and comfortable for a family vacation. The one thing that would have been helpful is to have some basic kitchen items available ex: salt, pepper, sugar, coffee. I would definitely stay here again.
Condo was perfect for 6 of us. Fully equipped for cooking. Beach chairs and toys were a plus. Short, easy walk to the beach and lots of other activities. Will definitely stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Kelly Contello
Our family is from Austin and we love this beach! When we are not able to visit, we would love to share it with you!
Why they chose this property
We absolutely love Miramar Beach! The beach is less crowded and there are great restaurants and shops too! Our condo is so close to the beach, you literally walk across a small street and you are right there. With only 60 units using our private beach, it’s never crowded!
What makes this property unique
We stock everything you need to enjoy the beach from chairs, umbrellas, beach toys to tennis rackets. The decor inside the unit is a sophisticated, but casual beach vibe. Two king beds set us apart for comfort. And…the best part is our private beach is never crowded!
