4BR Renovated Coastal Cottage with Lake Views + 3 Decks | Palmetto Cottage

This recently renovated home with a one-minute walk to the beach is located in the private and prestigious neighborhood of Destin Pointe. Come experience a coastal getaway like no other and enjoy stunning Gulf and East Point views and sunsets from any of the three expansive and furnished decks.

Spread out in any of our four cozy bedrooms, each including private outdoor spaces and baths. (except for the bunk room). The primary suite features a king bed, walk-in closet, a private bathroom, and a large walk-in shower with double vanity. The second and third bedrooms feature king and double beds, both with smart TVs, generous closet space, and private decks. The fourth bedroom is a wonderful space for children, with a charming twin-over-queen bunk bed and an extra twin rollaway bed, smart TVs in each bunk, and a third larger TV for gaming. You will also find a queen blow-up mattress for extra sleeping space within the home.

Our well-equipped and modern kitchen offers plenty of space for entertaining and preparing a home-cooked meal after a day of adventure. Some helpful kitchen gadgets include a food processor, Crock-Pots, a French press, a coffee bean grinder, a Keurig machine, and a large wine/beverage fridge. Kick back and reminisce about the day in the family room, offering beautiful Gulf views along with a 65-inch smart TV for movie nights.

There will be no lack of fun to be had when everyone heads out to the beach for the day, as our guests will have access to ten beach chairs, two small umbrellas, a large ice chest with wheels, boogie boards, noodles, two double kayaks, four stand-up paddle-boards (two hard shell and two inflatable), multiple life vests for kids and adults, two beach carts with super-wide wheels, tons of sand toys, and beach games! And for indoor fun - lots of family board games, cards, poker chips, and puzzles!

Located just west of the heart of downtown Destin, this home is situated in a quiet, kid-friendly, private neighborhood offering a peaceful stay while still being close to all of the action.

We had a wonderful time at Palmetto Cottage. The grandkids and their parents loved having access to the bicycles and kayaks and beach toys! It is a bit longer walk to the beach than listed in the description, but really wasn’t a problem for them- just for me with a bad knee. We loved the view on the back deck and loved staying in Destin Pointe Resort. Thank you!

Great View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The views from this location are great! Quiet views of the Gulf waters, fishing vessels, and the waterfowl on the pond. The house shows years of rental use, and the appliances were the cheapest possible replacements, but they sufficed. The included bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, and loads of passed-down beach toys were fantastic.
