It is highly encouraged to read our listing in detail for any questions about the space, location, and amenities. We ask, please, for NO text message communication as you will not receive a response. Our strong preference is communication directly through Airbnb so that we have all the details of your trip to make assisting you a breeze. If you're a first time traveler, please use your guest portal for ease of access to your trip details & communication. For more immediate needs and emergencies please place a phone call to Matthew (and be sure to know the logistics of your trip such as the dates and location). We can be reached most times of the day, but ask for no late night contact-we will do our absolute best to take care of any needs and questions as soon as they arise! This beautiful beach house is a short two blocks from public beach access, as well as an equal distance to the heart of Destin where you can find plenty of entertainment, food, and shopping. This is in Crystal Beach, Destin voted the most beautiful beach in North America 4 years in a row. You will be super close driving distance to anything you have planned or desire to do during your stay. We typically recommend taking an Uber as they are very popular in the area and always less expensive that a normal taxi.
