Luxury Family Beach House - Heated Pool - Steps from the Shore

Welcome to Bahama Blue — Your Luxury Family Beach House in Destin!

Imagine waking up steps from the Gulf, spending your days between a sparkling lagoon pool and white sandy beaches, and coming home to a spacious, beautifully decorated house that fits the whole family. That's Bahama Blue.

Beach & Community

Bahama Blue sits inside the Villages of Crystal Beach, an exclusive gated resort-style community just three blocks from the beach. Walk there in minutes or hop on the free seasonal trolley — it picks up and drops off right from the house!

The community's resort-style lagoon pool is the stuff of vacation dreams — waterfalls, a hot tub, lounge chairs and umbrella tables. Right next door, the tiki hut bar has an outdoor TV and plenty of seating. Pour yourself a drink, catch a game, and soak up that Destin sunshine.

This place was perfect for our family vacation! Walking to the beach was an absolute highlight, and we used the beach cart, 2 chairs, and towels the house generously provided. We had enough of everything to cook - and really appreciated the stash of spices and coffee filters. The neighborhood pool was heated during our week and that was awesome for the kids. We would absolutely stay here again. Communication was easy with the host!

This was a great house for a family vacation for six adults and a 3 yr old and a 1 yr old. It was more than big enough and was very well maintained and clean. It is very close to the beautiful pool and about a 10 minute walk from the beach. The owner is very kind and always responded quickly to messages.

Just ok

The home was nice the beds were comfortable. For the money I would not stay here again and here is why. There was very limited toilet paper. No paper towels no Kleenex no extra trash bags we purchased our own. I would expect a place like this to at least offer the essentials. There wasn’t even enough towels for the number of guests. The website says it can accommodate 12 people but there were only eight towels. Just disappointing. But again I was please that I did not see any bugs.

Great stay!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the property. The property was very clean and accommodating. Plenty of room for our group of 6 adults and 2 kids. The location was perfect being close to the beach and pool being less than a 5 minute walk from the unit. Shuttle service to the beach was very convenient and pick up was right in front of the house. Owner was responsive to any questions we had before arriving and during our stay. We definitely recommend this property.

Fall Break Vacay - 9 Days

The property was very clean and organized. It is right across the parking area which made it extremely convenient when we needed extra space for parking. We had 4 vehicles and only 2 could fit into the parking space at the beach house. The walk to the pool took maybe 2 minutes from the house and the beach was only about 5 to 7 minute walk. The house is like a 5 minute drive from Henderson Beach State Park too. I love how this house is so close to everything! It only took a few minutes to get to numerous restaurants, ice cream shops, arcades, and shopping centers. We used very little gas while there because everything is so close. We loved our time here and we highly recommend anyone to book this house for your future Destin trip!

This property was perfect for our group of 8. Spacious common area with enough bedrooms for privacy as well.
