About the host
Hosted by Jim and Debbie
We are retired and enjoy the best that Florida has to offer. With daughters/grandkids in Destin and Jacksonville, we jump from coast to coast. We absolutely love our Destin condo and are excited to share the beauty and serenity it offers. Our daughter, Jaymie, who lives 5 minutes away does an amazing job coordinating the rental and is quick to resolve any problem.
Why they chose this property
Perfect location for a vacation and this condo has it all - It is nestled between the harbor and the beach allowing some of the most amazing ocean breezes. From the balcony, you can watch playful dolphins/jumping mullet in the harbor or the boats that come to hang out on the sandbar (known as mini crab island). The condo is only a 2 block walk to the beach, where you find sand that feels like sifted flour and clear, beautiful emerald waters. Close to restaurants, groceries, shopping and fun activities. A water taxi will pick you up from the dock (for a small fee) and deliver you to the harbor walk for great food, fun, and entertainment.
What makes this property unique
The warm, romantic ambiance (including the panoramic water views, mood lighting, and electric fireplace) and the Contemporary/Modern design really sets this condo apart.
