• The living room includes the dining area, which seats 4, and the kitchen island which boasts 3 additional seats. We offer a full kitchen stocked with all the appliances you need: a microwave, dishes, cutlery, pots & pans, crock pot, blender, toaster, and more!
• Coffee drinkers can enjoy either the drip coffee maker or our Keurig machine. The washer and dryer are in the hallway at the entryway, complete with an ironing board & iron.
• Our king bedroom is complete with a Smart TV, dresser, and closet, along with direct access to the attached full bathroom.
• Our open concept built-in Twin bunk beds are located in the hallway, and have been especially designed to relax in with each bed having its own TV at the end of the bed! This area is perfect for the kids, or extra friends that have joined on your trip!
• Our full bathroom, accessed from the bedroom or the hall, offers a granite topped vanity and a combination tub & shower with a detachable showerhead - for making those post beach trip clean-ups a breeze! We provide bath towels, washcloths, courtesy soaps and a hair dryer during your stay. (Note: please bring any additional amenities needed)
• As a family-friendly location we're happy to offer a pack & play, high chair (booster seat style), and even children’s cups/plates/bowls/silverware.
• Your favorite spot will certainly be on the balcony - right through the French doors off the living room.
• Being on the second floor, you'll find yourself spending many mornings catching the sunrise or enjoying your beverage of choice to take in a breathtaking sunset, or just simply taking in the gorgeous views of Destin’s sugar-white beaches and signature emerald waters!
• The community pool & hot tub is located right off the stairway that you'll use to access the condo. Rest assured that you'll be able to enjoy a swim without crowds of people, as the pool is gated with a code for guests of this complex only. There is a community bathroom available as well, so no extra trips upstairs are necessary while you're enjoying these amenities!
• If you arrive early & want to sit poolside while you wait for your check in, just reach out for an access code!

Other Things to Note:
PLEASE read our house rules in detail before booking. We take time to put important information here that we need each guest to take into consideration when booking our home.
Our cleaners offer a courtesy supply of LIGHT amenities (a trash bag, roll of toilet paper, paper towels, soap, dish detergent, & laundry soap). We do not stock spices, oils, sunscreen, food storage (Ziplocs, foil, etc.) so please plan accordingly if you'll need these items.
If you have a trip longer than 24 hours, or are coming with a larger group please plan ahead & bring any extra items you anticipate needing during your stay.
All linens are provided for your stay. We do provide beach towels for guests to use poolside or at the beach, as we ask guests to please not use any white towels in these spaces. Any other beach/pool items are not provided or guaranteed.
Trailer/RV/BoxTruck/Watercraft parking is not permitted at any time in our community. Towing fees issued from the HOA do apply to any violation of this.
Extra guests not included in the reservation are not tolerated, please book with accurate guest count for your stay and to ensure we’ve provided enough linens as well.
