About this property

Private Pool & Beach Access! Free 5+ Car Parking

This recently updated beach vacation home is absolutely perfect for large families, multiple families, or groups of friends. The home features a luxury “double-home” experience with two completely separated wings each with their own full-sized kitchen, living room, dining room, laundry room, bedrooms, bunk rooms, and bathrooms. This unique layout provides plenty of space to ensure that everyone can have their own area without feeling crowded. Although the home has two separate Wings, the West Wing is large enough to host a gathering or a meal for the entire home. This home also has its own private fenced pool and wading spa with several lounge and pool chairs surrounding it. There is also plenty of parking on the property with the front and back driveways and garage fitting a total of 5 cars and several overflow lots in the community able to accommodate even more vehicles. This home is in a prime location central to the beach, Destin, 30A, and everything else that the Emerald Coast has to offer.

RECENT UPDATES
In 2024, all six bathrooms were fully renovated. In the West Wing primary, a double rainfall shower with 8 foot shower heads was added to create a luxurious spa experience. The primary bathroom received all new tile, glass shower panels, and a new double vanity. The whole second level of the West Wing received new LVP flooring throughout and the shared guest bathroom was updated with new tile, a new tub and shower door, a 7 foot tall shower head, and a new vanity with a quartz countertop. Lastly, two new memory foam queen sleeper sofas were added to the West Wing living room for guest's comfort.

In 2023, the private pool was fully re-plastered and re-tiled with authentic Spanish tile giving the property a true Mediterranean Villa feel. The home itself received fresh paint throughout as well as all new ceiling fans, chandeliers, sconces, and recessed lighting. All new exterior door locks and door handles were installed and all exterior doors and door trim were refinished and repainted.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
Just steps from private gated beach access! Walk through the gated community past a few homes and across a safe crosswalk to access the private gated beach area. The crosswalk has an actual stop sign for street traffic, unlike many crosswalks in the area.

PROPERTY DETAILS
This unique “double-home” offers twice the space and twice the amenities compared to most standard vacation rental homes! In total, there are 4 King beds, 2 large bunk rooms, and sleeper sofas in both living areas.

The East Wing sleeps 10 and has a 1st floor Master Suite, full kitchen, living room, dining room, laundry room, and two more bedrooms on the second level. The West Wing sleeps 12 and offers a spacious kitchen, living room, dining room, laundry room, and a 2nd floor Master Suite. The West Wing also has a bunk room and an additional bedroom with a King bed on the 2nd floor. The entire home is equipped with Wi-Fi and each Wing has a 65” 4K TV in the living rooms equipped with Netflix and YoutubeTV. We provide a beach wagon, 6-8 beach chairs, 8-10 beach towels and an assortment of beach toys. Overall, the home has nearly 3,500 square feet and includes everything you’ll need for a lovely and memorable stay by the beach! Note: to move between Wings, you will need to briefly step outside to go between entrances. They Wings are fully separated and private from each other.

This centrally located beach home is perfectly situated near the beach and other attractions and restaurants. In a short walk, guests can wander to Alvin’s Island for beach necessities and snacks or to Pompano Joes, Bad Ass Coffee, The Whalestail, Frozen Dune Ice Cream Shop, a CVS Pharmacy, or Fat Clemenza’s for delicious dining experiences. In a short drive, you'll find endless shopping and dining in Destin, Miramar Beach, and 30A.

PRIVATE HEATED POOL
The private pool is family-sized and is perfect for gatherings of multiple families or groups of friends. There is space to lounge around the pool as well as several pool chairs and loungers. Additionally, there are two community pools within the Emerald Waters Village community; one just about 50 yards away from this home and one further back in the community.

BEACH ACCESS
In just a 5 minute walk, you'll exit the community and cross Scenic Highway 98 at a crosswalk to arrive at the beach access gate. Once through the gate, you'll go down about 20 stairs to get to the sand and the ocean. The beach generally only allows umbrellas and there may be signs posted that prohibit tents or canopies in certain areas of the beach. Please see the South Walton beach safety website for a complete listing of beach rules. Lastly, please be mindful of the ocean conditions and beach flag warnings. The currents can be incredibly strong and dangerous at times, so please adhere to the beach flags and stay safe during your stay.

Great family bacation

The home was perfect with the two wings so people could spread out, private swimming pool and hot tub, and five minute walk to the beach. Beach chairs, floats, beach wagon, 1 small beach umbrella. Everything we needed was there for us. Very nice new Keurig coffee maker single/12cup coffeemaker. Bring basket filters. Staples in the cupboards and all the dishes, pans, linens, pool floats , beach chairs you need. Was glad we brought our own beach umbrellas so we didn’t need to rent. Very nice beds and linens. Even beach towels provided! E we will book here again!

Mixed Review

Great location,owners tried to fix problems. Property was filthy. Could write in the dust on wooden shutters, rugs filthy, weeds inside pool area,furniture old and uncomfortable. Upon checking out you are expected to wash and put up towels and dishes,sweep floor,wash out tub and sinks.Needs a lot of TLC.

Sorry to hear you had a mixed experience. You did not mention any of the issues listed in your review until you had already concluded your stay or we would have worked to correct the issues for you. Similarly, we sent you a message after your first night asking how things were going and you did not mention any of the issues at that time either. Your comment about the items required to be completed at check-out are simply false. We provide check-out instructions via our virtual guidebook (and we also mention these same instructions in our rental agreement that you agreed to upon booking your stay) and we even send a reminder the night prior to your departure. Again, none of the items you mention above are listed in our check-out instructions which all but assures us that you did not read our actual instructions. We are grateful for your stay and we are truly sorry your experience was less than exceptional. Communication is crucial both for guests and hosts and it is hard to provide a great experience if guests are not communicating their issues or reading instructions provided by hosts.

2024 Florida Vacation Trip

Our family overall fell in love with the house, we were due to arrive earlier than the check in time but we were able to find an activity for our family before checking in, when arriving at the house there were a few things that weren’t completely cleaned but overall it was alright, one of my family members slept on a sofa bed and upon pulling out the bed we found an open bag of Doritos inside the bed and in the kitchen one of the cabinet doors was very loose and when wanting to use the outside shower to rinse off it sprayed upwards instead of down onto us like a regular shower, also we could never locate the barbecue pit or a mop, other than those minor issues the beds were very comfortable and thank goodness for the swimming pool because due to the weather we were unable to get in the water at the beach, the host were always reachable at all times, this is a very beautiful home and we hope to get it again in the future.

Thanks so much for your review and we’re so glad you enjoyed your stay! We wish you would have notified us of those issues as we could have taken care of those items for you during your stay. We’ll address the issues to make sure they’re fixed for future guests. We also do not and have not provided a barbecue pit as part of this listing. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us!

Property needs to be shut down and put through proper maintenance and cleaning.

Our family has stayed in destin for years, always different properties. This was absolutely the worst we have dealt with so for. We waisted so much of our vacation letting either cleaning people in, maintenance men in, or internet men in during our stay. It would have been nice to have been offered some of our money back for our inconvenience instead 100 for no internet. They did inform us internet was down. But didn’t inform us internet controlled everything in the whole house. They failed to mention that everything in the home was controlled by the internet ...hot tub, air conditioning. TVs. Cleaning was subpar at best. Every time we messaged them, it was always an excuse. We had to clean the grill for an hour for us to be able to grill as well as purchase a new propane tank to be able to use it. The dryer would not dry 3 towels even going thru 4 cycles. The description described the houses as being connected which is not true so be aware that it is two separate houses. Trash was full when we got there and was horrible! It smelled the entire house up. The house had a smell and a day later we found out it was spilled milk on a couch so we couldn’t even sit in the room. Maintenance did come 2 days prior to us leaving. When we got there the first day, the master bathroom was locked and we had to pick the lock to get in. There were cleaning supplies left out. We had to change the air Condtioner filters in the units because the air was whistling . They were filthy. No matter what we told them they made an excuse. We have texts and pictures and videos. The one positive I have to say is, after checking out, the cleaning crew found my Apple Watch and have mailed it to me. For the ridiculous price you pay for this house, it is definitely not worth the money. The trip was for our daughter who graduated high school and I would say that we would have had a better experience staying in a condo.

Expectations not met

Was very excited to stay in this beautiful home, but it wasn't all that the pictures led us to believe it was. The furniture in the living room were worn and uncomfortable. Before we could use the dishes and cups, I had to wash them. The dishwasher does not do a good job cleaning or drying the dishes. I had to purchase mold cleaner for the master shower. We enjoyed the the pool but not so much the hot tub, it would not stay warm. Loved the closeness to the beach, but to much frustration with this home.

We are truly sorry that your expectations were not met. We would like to note that we offered to have our cleaner come out to address the master shower issue as we wanted to make it right, but you declined by saying that you had treated it yourself. We were also never informed during your stay about the spa temperature as we could have corrected that issue. We did our best to be responsive and accommodating throughout your stay. We do appreciate the honest feedback as we are trying to provide a great experience for all of our guests. Thank you for staying with us!
