Area Attractions:

All the excitement of Destin is just minutes away: choice of watersports, golf, amusement parks, and outlet shopping, one glimpse of Destin beaches and you're hooked. It must be the wide, sun-bleached beaches and the famous emerald waters. Not to mention the fabulous fishing, the world's most beautiful beaches, addictive seafood, and the full array of activities for kids of all ages and more fun to be found in Destin.

Here you will find windsurfing, snorkeling, water-skiing, and parasailing offered all along the Gulf shores. Nearby attractions include a fascinating aquarium, Naval history museums, a fishing museum, and a zoo featuring Colossus the giant gorilla, and rare white Bengal tigers. Of course, you'll want to savor the unique and delicious flavors of the freshest seafood available at any of Destin's more than 100 eateries! Restaurants here range from casual oyster bars to elegant bistros serving culinary delights guaranteed to please your palate.

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 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 device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

So, come enjoy the freshest seafood, go fishing for all types of salt and freshwater fish, explore fun shops and boutiques, or simply relax on breathtaking beaches.

I have had my eye on The Farmhouse for the past couple of years. Our kids attend Benedictine College. We've stayed in Atchison/Troy previously, both with good experiences. We needed a place for our son's graduation, and I liked the idea of being in the "country". It was such a lovely setting, even better than I expected with the house situated on high ground overlooking the fields. Not as convenient as being right in town, but we like to drive and enjoyed it very much! The peacefulness of being alone was a welcome change from suburban life! The home is really well-kept and includes many updates that made our stay extremely comfortable! I really loved the spaciousness of the living/dining area, the beautifully appointed bedrooms, and the nicely updated main bathroom upstairs. I'm high-maintenance when it comes to bathrooms, so the downstairs bath was a bit cramped for me but it offered everything that you could need, so it is great having that 2nd full bath that you don't often see in older properties. I appreciated the fully stocked kitchen since we do like to cook, and I found everything I needed. We didn't have time to enjoy the firepit or grill, but they had plenty of nice outdoor chairs, cute rockers on the porch, and folding chairs to surround a fire. I would call this an extremely charming, super comfortable, very relaxing place to get away from reality! Angela couldn't have been more helpful/attentive, and I congratulate her & her husband on a really lovely rental!
