The Bed Setup:

1st Floor
Master Bedroom: King Bed
Guest Bedroom: 2 Twin Beds

2nd Floor
Guest Loft Bedroom: 2 Twin Beds


Area Attractions: 

Nearby are 6 miles of paved trails - perfect for both walking and biking. Pretty, unspoiled Henderson State Park is also just down the road!

It's a terrific residential area, yet close to restaurants and activities in Destin. Walk the 300 yards to the beach or venture over to nearby restaurants or shopping areas. 

Close by is Destin Commons, a beautifully landscaped, pedestrian-friendly area and a great family venue where children will love to play in the interactive water fountains. Also, for the younger guests, a nautically/pirate-themed outdoor playground features a 1,750 square foot soft play area with various creatures from the sea, slides, and a treasure chest!  Destin Commons also has a mini train for the kids. Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants, including Godiva Chocolates, AMC Movie Theaters, and Bass Pro Shop.

If you are near Miramar Beach, the snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Dolphin Reef, deployed in 2017.  Located just 685 feet straight out from the Miramar Regional Public Beach access (by Pompano Joe's), it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of the permitted sea bottom. The Dolphin Reef is at a depth of 12-20 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation devices when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Adorable cottage in a quiet beach neighborhood. Space for everyone, plenty of hot water for the multitude of showers, and the game room in the garage was just awesome for many dart tournaments. The public beach is small, so make sure to reserve a spot at Henderson state park. Literally the perfect oasis.
