This 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo is just 300 steps to the emerald coast beaches of Destin Florida. The private beach access and availability of beach services will make your day at the beach a breeze. This unit is conveniently located between the Destin Harbor Walk which offers charter fishing, rental boats, jet skies, and access to the world famous Crab Island.

Your evenings will be filled with fireworks, live music, night life and all the amenities Destin has to offer. We hope you enjoy your stay!

About the host

Hosted by Andrew

Host profile image
Growing up on the beaches Cape Cod Massachusetts, spending time fishing, boating and swimming with my grandfather and later my 3 sons has led to my love for the ocean. My beautiful wife of 30+ years (Kristyn) and I have had the privilege of visiting and living near some of most beautiful beaches in the country. We have enjoyed such beaches as Waikiki, the black sand beaches of Maui, Siesta Key, Key Largo, South Beach, Venice, and many stops along the pacific coast hwy. The very first day of our first trip to Destin looking out over the emerald Coast we knew we would want to establish ourselves here. Unfortunately, my profession does not afford us the opportunity to live here fulltime. The ocean is a beautiful thing that should be shared with all that wish to experience it. For that reason, we have chosen to share this property with those lucky enough to visit it. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I often sit overlooking the beach drinking a frozen cocktail and debating the fact that it is truly 300 steps from the front door to toes in the water. She is 6 inches short than me and says its 321 steps. 300 sounds better so I go with it. This unit has a gated beach access for the residence. The complex is not a huge commercial condominium so there is always plenty of room on our beach. If you enter the beach though the gate and take 2 steps to the right you are on the white sand beach in Destin If you turn left then you're on the white sand beach of Miramar, either way you are surrounded by the emerald waters. This location makes it all worth it. We could not have gotten luckier finding it. Don't miss the opportunity.

What makes this property unique

Nothing to bring, beach chairs, cooler, sand toys, and a wagon to pull it all are provided. If the pool is your thing, it's deep and heated and right out the back door. Multiple waterfront restaurants or cook in the fully equipped Kitchen. Shopping, nightlife, live music and oh Ya did mention the beach? Enough said!
