Space
Sunlit mornings begin with salty air drifting in from the Gulf, and evenings wind down with the soft glow of the pool lights after a full day at the beach. Just steps from the sugar-white sand in Crystal Beach, this three-story Destin home puts you close to the shoreline while giving you plenty of room to spread out, reconnect, and relax at your own pace. Location & setting Set in the sought-after Crystal Beach neighborhood, the home is a short walk to public beach access along the Emerald Coast. A street-legal 6-seat golf cart is included, making it easy to get around Crystal Beach, cruise Scenic Gulf Drive, or head to Destin Commons for shopping, dining, and entertainment without moving your car. You are close to Destin’s beaches, water activities, and the Harbor Boardwalk, with everyday conveniences nearby. Living spaces Nearly 5,000 square feet are thoughtfully arranged across three levels, offering a balance of shared spaces and quieter corners. Two living rooms provide room to gather or unwind, complemented by a dedicated movie room with a reclining sofa and a separate game room featuring an arcade and a 75-inch Smart TV. WiFi and multiple TVs support relaxed evenings and easy downtime between outings. Kitchen & dining The kitchen is designed for group stays, with generous prep space and everything needed for shared meals at home. An adjacent dining area brings everyone together, whether you are starting the day with coffee or lingering over dinner after sunset. Sleeping arrangements The home sleeps up to 23 guests across 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. Six king bedrooms feature private ensuite bathrooms, offering comfort and privacy for couples or adults traveling together. On the third floor, two additional king bedrooms share a full bathroom. A bunk room adds flexible sleeping space with one queen over queen bunk and one twin over queen bunk, making it especially popular with kids and teens. Outdoor living Out back, a fenced yard centers around a private heated saltwater pool with a cascading waterfall hot tub. The pool can be heated by request, with a fee, and heating is seasonal from October through May. Lounge seating, outdoor dining, and a gas grill create an easy flow between beach days and relaxed evenings at home. Covered balconies on the upper floors offer additional spots to step outside and enjoy the coastal air.

We had the best time staying in this beautiful home. Everything was super clean, there were plenty of towels in each bathroom, extra beach supplies, and overall it was a great experience! It’s super close to the beach and the Golf cart also worked great. We would stay here again!
