About this property

Beachbums Hideaway - Unique Artsy Beachfront Townhouse

Tired of staying at impersonal, expensive, noisy condos? Want a calm, beautiful place to call "home" during your vacation? Beachbums Hideaway is a unique artistic haven for you to refresh.

It's a three story (non-smoking) beachfront townhouse located directly on the Emerald Coast. On Okaloosa Island, with 3 bedrooms (one is a fully functional Studio) and 4 bathrooms for up to 8 people to stay. Furnished private beach deck and two private balconies to enjoy the gorgeous views and look for dolphins swimming past.

The owner is a photographer - Old Man and the Sea Photography. You will find his stunning beach photography hanging on the walls. All of his work is from local waterways. There are also two art murals on the walls, painted by a family friend, that add to the creative ambience.

Enjoy your morning coffee or tea from the breakfast bar. There is a fully equipped kitchen, so you can enjoy meals together at the dining table or al fresco. There is a view of the Emerald Coast inside and out!

Private walkover that goes over the sea oats and directly to the emerald blue waters and white sand beach.

Beach gear (chairs, boogie boards, frisbees, kids toys) is provided.

Nearby shopping, fishing, parasailing, water parks, mini-golf, Crab Island, scuba diving and snorkeling. Cute coffee shops, restaurants, live music, ice cream and waterfront parks. Destin and 30A are a short drive away.

At night, chill with a board game, watch cable TV from every room, stargaze the beautiful night sky full of stars.

Personal driveway with 4 parking spaces.

Our townhouse is not for everyone. If you want to party until the wee hours of the morning, there are plenty of other units available. But if you don't mind being fairly quiet from 10:00 PM until 6:00 AM, and enjoy just kicking back with a margarita and a little Jimmy Buffett music, this should suit you fine.

Welcome fellow Beachbums to your home away from home!

About the host

Hosted by Chris Davis

Host profile image
When my parents, Dave and Ginny, bought the town home in 1998 it was a real 'fixer upper'. Dave spent two years remodeling the two upper levels and then decided to build a studio apartment in the rear of the garage. We always wanted to own a Bed and Breakfast and we feel that our unit is the next best thing to it. We wanted a unique rental where our guests would feel at home and more like family, not just another impersonal condo. Since we opened for business in March 2004 we have been blessed with almost continuous bookings from March through October. We used to just rent the downstairs studio and live upstairs, however, now we have moved to a one story house more inland, and we rent out the full townhouse. Dave and Ginny's daughter, Chris, is now the property manager, and she is happy to help you with your booking and any questions you may have. Many of our guests come back year after year, that we now consider family, and we will never forget who actually pays our bills.

Why they chose this property

Okaloosa Island is a little 'hidden gem' on the Emerald Coast. Quiet, laid back, very little traffic and beautiful beaches. And our Beachbums Hideaway is right on the beach! What more could you ask for?

What makes this property unique

The Beachbums Hideaway is truly unique..... complete with art from my Dad, Old Man and the Sea Photography, and two original wall murals.
We provide everything you need.....towels, linens, beach chairs, cooler, boogie boards, etc. All you really need to bring are your personal items, food, and drinks.
