About the host
Hosted by Christie Croes Derrick
We have managed our family owned rental properties since 2008. We currently own 2 properties in Seaside and Seagrove on 30A that we have rented for over 10 years, and have recently put this Destin harbor property on the rental market. We view these places as more than investments - we vacation in them frequently with our family and friends and just like we want everything to be safe and enjoyable when we are using them, we also want our rental guests to have a wonderful vacation as well! While my husband and I are staying in our properties, we are constantly working to make improvements, upgrades, replacements, deep cleaning and repairs so that everything will hopefully be perfect for each of our guests. Let us help you plan a special memory making Destin vacation for you and your guests!
Why they chose this property
The water views on the harbor are stunning day and night. If you are a boater or enjoy fishing, you can't beat this spot where you have a private boat slip for your use or just fish right off the dock. The fireworks show on Thursday nights & holidays is impressive and no need to go any further than the porch or patio to have the best view around. You truly have the best of all worlds here because you have access and views of the beautiful harbor and can also walk to the beach access in 3 minutes.
What makes this property unique
If you want to bring your own boat on vacation, there's no need to search for a place to launch and store it each night because you can use the private boat slip right off the back patio. If you don't own or want to bring your boat, rent one and keep it overnight at the boat slip. On days you want some beach time instead of boating, you can walk 3 minutes on the sidewalk to the public beach access.
