About this cottage rental
This gorgeous new 2 BR/2 BA guest cottage enjoys an ideal location in the center of the best part of Destin (Crystal Beach) a very short walk to the beach, yet it's private at the same time! If you prefer not to spend your vacation traipsing the halls of hotels or sharing condo elevators with strangers, enjoy this stunning but cozy cottage in its super convenient location! One-half block (less than 5 minutes walk) to the beach--including showers, restrooms, free kids classes—and a lovely cafe, and 2-5 blocks to 3 grocery stores, over 30 restaurants, movie theaters, bowling, kids play area, and more!
The stunning cottage features a soaring cathedral ceiling in the living/kitchen/dining area, unique finishes, and a one-of-a-kind feel--to make the time when you're not on the beach as enjoyable and relaxing as your time on the beach. The first-floor master suite has a king bed of luxurious memory foam, double sinks, and a large shower. The second suite is upstairs and offers either 2 twin beds (also memory foam) or they can be converted into a king on request. There is a queen sleeper sofa in the loft. Amenities include a high-def TV, wifi, large deck, outdoor shower, full laundry, gas stove, and much more.
The cottage includes an outdoor jumbo spa that can be used as a small, above-ground pool, or the temperature can be turned up to be a hot tub. It has 8 seats with different jet configurations and colored lights. It's a great option for small kids to be safe if the Gulf is rough; for adults to soak, relax on a floatie, do some water aerobics, talk under the stars, wind down at night, etc. We do not have an inground swimming pool. (The nearby beach access has a lifeguard during most daylight hours in summer season to help you be safe while swimming in the Gulf.)
Important: This cottage is part of a family homestead and is only available when part of our family is away. With all separate walls, doors, and windows from the host's home, it is a perfect combination of having a home to yourself, and yet having the hosts adjacent if you need anything or want to ask advice from locals. Driveway is shared. Also, while 8 people are allowed per ordinance, we recommend 4-6 adults max for your comfort and to maintain the luxurious feel, especially for a weeklong stay.

The cottage is clean, open and bright. The venetian plaster walls, marbled epoxy floors, beautiful cabinetry and trim have a modern updated look with a very comfortable feel. Excellent location, less than 5 minute walk to the beach. Restaurants and shopping within 10 minutes walk time. We even went without a vehicle for two days. The hosts were very kind and hospitable. This place is tucked in behind the homes on the street making it quieter than most. If we return to Destin, this will be our first choice.

The house was great! Easy beach access. Host lives next door and was easy to get in touch with. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay and Wendy & Gary were wonderful! The cottage is beautiful and quiet! We usually stay on the beach but this is just a quick walk to a nice little public beach access and my favorite coffee shop, Camille's!! We will definitely be back!
