Spacious Ocean Retreat~Minutes to the Beach, BBQ, Pool, Beach Gear, and More!

Enjoy the sugar-white sands of the Emerald Coast in this getaway perfect for families or small groups! Freshly remodeled, kicked up a notch in luxury beach homes.

Located in the elite community of Destiny East, just minutes from the beach. We supply the beach cart, beach chairs, umbrellas & towels... You supply the sunblock and laughter. It's a recipe for the perfect vacation in this bright and open 4-bedroom home. Our property manager is local and is never more than a phone call away. They will check in on you and can answer any questions, give restaurant recommendations, point you in the right direction for the shopping outing, Etc.

If you do encounter a summer shower, how about a movie on the overstuffed sectional with the wide-screen TV, or a BBQ on the covered patio? There is an extra bottle of gas in case one goes empty in the middle of dinner.

Prepare a meal in the gourmet eat-in kitchen equipped with modern appliances, quartz countertops, and a big breakfast bar. Watch your favorite show in the family room just off of the kitchen so you don't miss any of the action.

Two bedrooms are located on the west side of the home, the principal on the east, and the bunk room in the middle. The master bedroom has a king bed with a silver chill mattress to keep you cool on those hot summer days. Double doors from the master open up onto the back porch.

The primary bathroom features a 70-inch soaker tub, an oversized vanity w/ dual sinks, a walk-in marble-tiled shower, and a spacious closet.

The bunkroom features a full-sized mattress & three twin memory foam beds. A second full bathroom is just across the hallway and has a tiled walk-in shower with access to the backyard.

The other two bedrooms each have queen-sized mattresses and beachy decor. The shared full bathroom is beautifully remodeled with a tub/shower combo and tiled surround, a vanity with dual sinks, and quartz counters.

You have full access to two luxurious pools, a hot tub, tennis courts, a full-size workout facility, and a playground.

Discover all that Destin has to offer, including boat rentals, water sports, deep-sea fishing charters, sunset cruises, and top-rated attractions such as Big Kahuna's Waterpark. Try out the Crab Trap, Pompano Joe's, and the Whale's Tail. There are tons of dining options right on the beach. Grab a cup of Bad Ass coffee in the morning. There is no shortage of things to do nearby.

A Side Note for Walkers to the Beach: Vrbo's automatic map algorithm sometimes gets a bit confused! Please ignore the generated distance to Miramar Beach under the Explore the Area section. For the true, accurate walking distance to our closest beach access, look at the distance shown to the Eastern edge of James Lee Park.

The house was a long way form the beach especially with children involved.Therefore this house needs a golf cart to shorten the trip to the beach from the house. Everything else was as advertised.
