Experience Your Vacation Haven
Nestled within the Crystal Beach community is this quaint cottage, whose design harkens back to “Old Florida.” Yet, it’s an ideal beach property perfect for a much anticipated getaway with your entire family including your pet. Greet the morning with a hot cup of your favorite beverage while luxuriating on the screened porch. Getting some in your group off the porch swing may be hard, but everything you need to for the meal prep is provided within the gourmet kitchen. So, after breakfast, leisurely meander to the Gulf to enjoy a full day of fun in the sun. Then, at the end of the day, cool down with laps in the refreshing private pool or challenge the kids to a rousing game of Marco Polo!
Perfect for a large group, this vacation rental features a master bedroom with a king bed, with luxurious vanity area, which provides a true spa feel. Other rooms feature queen beds in addition to a kid’s room with a twin over full bunk bed, which even has a quaint sitting area to group the little ones together to share bedtime stories of the day’s adventures.
The spacious open floor plan allows for cooking and leisurely entertaining, while everyone is close by, all while making memories to last a lifetime. Then, sink into comfy sofas in front of a big-screen TV to wind down from the day’s activities. Later in the evening, decide which of the double porches you’ll choose to watch the moon rise. There’s a special place for every member of your party to be together or in solitude at this truly extraordinary sanctuary.
If there are fishermen among you, the BBQ grill provides an excellent opportunity to share in the bounty from the beach. But there are also numerous dining options to suit every palate: challenging golf courses; boating, including deep-sea excursions; and unique shopping in the exhilarating Destin area.
If your family believes in “the more the merrier,” an amazing property (“Hook, Wine and Sinker”) is located right next door and the two homes can be rented together (upon availability). Make your next vacation escape to The Hideaway!
