Ours is free. Most "pool" listings in Destin are shared community pools. Ours is private and on our property. Most pet-friendly homes don't have a fully fenced yard. Ours does. We answer in under an hour and we make it right. That's why families come back year after year. THE BEDROOMS The home is laid out so the king and queen sit on opposite ends, giving multi-generational families and couples-with-kids real privacy. The king has its own en-suite bath. The queen and bunk room share a dedicated bath right outside their doors. 🛏 Bedroom 1: King Suite King bed with high-end linens, blackout curtains, ceiling fan, 4K Smart TV, en-suite bath with shower/tub, large close. Crib available for infants. Quiet, dark, built for sleep. 🛏 Bedroom 2: Queen with Pool View Queen memory-foam mattress, blackout curtains, ceiling fan, Smart TV, and a window onto the private pool. Just steps from the second bath. 🛏 Bedroom 3: Bunk Room Two sets of twin bunk beds (sleeps 4) with shark-themed bedding the kids will adore. Night light, pool view, and the kind of room that turns "going to bed" into part of the vacation. 🛋 Living Room: Queen-size air mattress available for an 8th guest if needed. Both full baths are stocked with fresh towels, hair dryers, shampoo, conditioner, and soap. Baby bath available for the littlest guests. THE KITCHEN Bright, white, and built for actual cooking. Wake up to coffee from the fully stocked bar with both a Keurig (K-cups included) and a 10-cup drip maker. Dishwasher with disposal, full-size fridge, gas range, microwave, toaster, electric kettle, and blender. Dishwasher pods, dish soap, and laundry detergent stocked. Sippy cups and dog bowls in the cabinets. Dining table for six, bar seating for four more, high chair for the little one. THE LIVING ROOM Open, airy, nautical-inspired, and made for landing softly at the end of a long beach day. Plush sectional, large Smart TV with Netflix, Amazon Prime, and DirecTV Now. The kind of space where a family naturally gravitates after dinner. THE LAUNDRY New Samsung washer and dryer with detergent provided. Iron and ironing board. THE PRIVATE POOL Private and on our property, not a shared community pool. Heated. Year-round. Free. 5-foot max depth, full-sun exposure most of the day, built-in steps and grab rails, surrounded by white privacy fencing and palm trees that make the backyard feel like its own little world. We crank the heat in cooler months so spring breakers, fall guests, and snowbirds can actually use the pool, not just admire it from the deck. THE OUTDOOR SPACE A Trex-style deck anchors the backyard. A brand-new Weber gas grill (2026) is ready for steak night, burger night, and the long lazy Saturday lunch. A 6-seat polywood dining table with market umbrella sits next to the pool, and string lights turn the patio into a quiet party space after sunset. The outdoor shower handles the post-beach rinse-off (you'll use it every day and wonder how you ever vacationed without one). Out front, the porch has Adirondack chairs, an ocean breeze, and underrated Crystal Beach sunsets. THE BEACH WALK Six minutes door-to-toes on continuous sidewalks. Our house sits on the corner of Luke Avenue and Crystal Beach Drive - and Crystal Beach Drive runs straight to the sand. Out the door, head south, one easy road to cross, and you're at the public beach access. Stroller-friendly, wagon-friendly, flip-flop-friendly.

The fully fenced yard means dogs can play outside without you holding your breath. The bunk room is a kid magnet. After-dinner walks for ice cream become a daily ritual. PET-READY We're dog people. Up to 2 pets welcome, $115 flat fee covers both. Fenced front side and back yards. Spacious crate, food and water bowls, and waste bags provided. Your dog will run, sniff, dig, and chase lizards while you sip coffee on the porch. This is a well-loved home. Book the dates you've been thinking about. The pool is already warm.
