About this property

PRIVATE BEACH, right out your back door of this home. A STRESSLESS vacation.

REFUND policy- 90 days full refund from check in day!

EXCLUSIVE PRIVATE BEACH JUST FOR YOU AND YOUR GUESTS- NOT SHARED WITH OTHER HOMES OR A COMPLEX.
(beware of places that advertise beach FRONT they could be across the street with a beach view/ Beach front can mean nothing is blocking the view but it may not mean ON the beach. WE are on the beach built on the sand. You cannot get any closer to the water unless you are on a boat!
Also beware of PRIVATE BEACH ACCESS= which means there is a private gate to a beach that could be a public beach- that only means the access is private not necessarily is the beach private it could be public. Majority of places that do have a private beach they still share it with a whole complex so you re still fighting for sand with those in the whole complex. We own our beach down to where the public walks along the water. Each home owns it own beach like a backyard. We respect each neighbors beach staying within our boundaries of our beach/yard like you would any homes private backyard except our is a beach).

Spoil yourself. You will love the ease of having your own exclusive private beach right out the back door of this home. Not having to fight for a spot on the sand takes all of the stress away!
This home in not like other places that have a private beaches which they share with a whole complex.
This home, the beach is all for you and your guests staying in the home with you from corner to corner of the oversized beach deck down to where the public walks along the water.

The ease of stepping off of your oversized beach deck onto the beach is spoiling along with being convenient to walk into the house to grab beach snacks and drinks from the beach level kitchen or to use the restroom.

To not have to pack up all of your stuff for the day to go to the beach, or drag it across a street or down an elevator is spoiling.
THE BEACH IS YOUR OWN PRIVATE BACK YARD!

Walk out of the beach level onto the oversize private beach deck just for you and your guests.
You will love the beach level deck which is super super big 20 feet by 30 feet in size with a covered area where you can grill and dine at the big square table that handles up to 16 people or sit in the sitting area just watching the Gulf roll in or go and lounge in the sun in the lounge chairs in the uncovered area while watching the water sparkle in the sunshine.

You will be even more spoiled to wake up in the morning and step out onto any of the three decks in this home where you can be in your jammies drinking coffee watching the dolphins go by. Yes, the Dolphins swim by very close to sure almost daily depending on weather and waves.

Late in the evening sitting on the deck under the stars with the moon glowing off of the water having a glass of wine. Being built on the sand you feel as though you are on the beach. We have been known to take sand chairs late at night down to the edge of the water visiting with our guests until the we hours of the morning.
This is the ease of stepping right off of your beach deck onto your beach.

Or step out of the master bedroom onto the private master deck overlooking the white powdery sand and emerald green water. A nice outdoor space for those staying in the master bedroom.

THE BEACH HOME:
You will love this unique extra wide 3 story townhome! The views from every floor including from your bed pillow of the master bedroom. This home is unique because of being double the width of most town homes it feels like a house being almost 3000 sq. ft. and extra wide.

There is so much space for everyone to enjoy. From the 2 fully equipped kitchens with Kuerigs & 2 living rooms. To having 2 master bedrooms on the top floor, and two bedrooms on the beach level- great for multiple families or for teenagers to have their own space.

You will love the spectacular views and the open feeling in this home that even when you are indoors you still feel like you are on the beach.

2 living areas. 2 Fully equipped kitchens main level and beach level. Large master open your eyes in bed and see the beach / gulf. 2 master bedrooms each have a private full bath.

Park in front of this home in the two designated spaces (holding two cars each =4 cars total) and walk right into the Main level which has gigantic open living area with a kitchen and dining area and a full bath laundry area. Step outside onto the middle/main floor deck to enjoy the sunset or sunrise or watch the dolphins swim by. while over looking the beach and the Gulf.

You can head on down to the beach level via the interior open staircase or down the exterior steps from the middle main deck to the beach deck. We find having both sets of steps is handy when people are sleeping downstairs and you want to access the beach deck the exterior steps gives your guests staying on the beach level privacy.

The Beach level has 2 bedrooms. One bedroom is a bunk room with two queen sized beds. The other also has cstom bunks with a king on the bottom with extra head space to make it comfortable for a couple to use this room if they are not going to use the Queen bed above. You will love the unique design of this full bath right outside of the 2 bedrooms with a large custom walk in shower. The open living room and kitchen are on the beachside of this home facing
with beach views. This fully equipped kitchen is great for the ease of cooking meals while grilling on the oversized beach deck and for beach snacks and drinks. The ease of walking right out of the beach level onto the beach deck again is spoiling. This level is great for the elderly to sleep, live and have access to the beach deck because once you are on this level there are no stairs to access the beach deck- one level indoor and outdoor living.

THINGS TO DO:
You will love the area this home is in away from high rises and the craziness of the congested downtown Destin. While still having fun things to do within walking distance.
Walk to 4 restaurants and beach bars-Captain Dave's, The Crab Trap, Kenny D's and Pampano Joe's or to a beach shop right next to Pampano Joe's.
rent Seadoos, Rent a pontoon for the day or go on a dolphin excursion, deep sea fishing, and lots of golf courses. Take a sunset cruise or go on floating Tiki hut. Rent a boat and go to crab island for an afternoon where they have floating playgrounds, floating restaurants, with crystal clear water that is low enough that people stand in the water playing frisbee with other boaters.
Hire a Chef to come and cook a dinner just for you and your guests.
Or have our mobile masseuse come to the house to do massages on one of our decks or in a private room.
Have a beach party, Hire Kenny of Kenny D's they will cater to you and your guests right on the beach!
Set up your own folding table and folding chairs and do a dinner on the beach with your feet in the sand! Set up battery operated torches. This is always an amazing memory to have.
During season there are many beach activities. Just walk 5 minutes to the public beach where you can do banana boat rides, parasailing, take surf lesson or sand castle building lessons and so much more.
Nearby is a lot of shopping from the outlets to the commons, Movie theater, bowling and more.
We have an aquarium, amusement parks, water parks and Fudpuckers is great for kids where you can not only go and see a bunch of alligators but you can hold a baby alligator.
There are often music festivals, art festivals, light shows, fireworks and wine festivals.
Go on a helicopter ride over the Gulf and along the shore line.
Always fun to go to Baytown or Harbor town with lots of fun things to do there. There is have roof top bar down the street at Henderson where you can watch the sunset or you can go to the rooftop bar and pool at Effies which is something to see as well and watch the sunset.
On our street within a mile or two are 7 beach front restaurants and bars.
Rent a bike, scooter, golf cart or dune buggy.
I could go on and on with all of the things that there is to do.

But for those who just want to relax there is nothing like spending a day on your own exclusive slice of white powdery sand with the Gulf breeze blowing through your hair, the sunshine kissing your skin and the sound of the clear emerald green water rolling in.

Many grocery stores from Whole foods, Sprouts, Publix, Winn Dixie, Walmart.

4 TV's (both master bedrooms and both living rooms) Free WiFi.
We provide bed linens, bath towels, beach towels, 4 beach chairs are on the beach deck for your use on the beach along with 1 beach umbrella. Beach service is available if you want to rent a beach set up. We provide a starters for bathrooms and kitchens. Guests supply all of their own kitchen paper goods, garbage bags, zip locks aluminum foil , bathroom personal items and toilet paper.

Our idea of Paradise!
You can stay in the biggest, tallest, fanciest high-rise in Destin, but not have the beautiful tranquility of this place. I almost felt bad for nearby neighbors whose beach was packed this past week with so many chairs and umbrellas, they could not see the gulf. We ordered 3 sets of chairs and there was nobody around us. All private. This makes all the difference! Absolutely the best place to stay!

Gorgeous
This property exceeded our expectations! Gorgeous views. The best house we have stayed in so far! Plenty of room, super clean, plenty of sleeping space for 4 adults and 2 kids. I cannot say enough about Kimberly. She takes pride in her homes and it shows. She was easy to contact, super friendly and easy to work with. We were able to contact her with very minor issues and she resolved them so incredibly fast. Will 100% stay here again. The private beach is phenomenal. Security checks in to make sure the proper people are on the private beach. No random people taking over your spots. The permanent residents next door were so kind and pleasant to have conversations with. They helped us know exactly where to place our chairs everyday. The beach towels provided were a huge help. The chairs and umbrella provided for the beach were perfect. The home had everything we needed as far as dishes and utensils. Our kids were scared to sleep downstairs alone but the two day beds on main level were perfect and comfy. The home is well managed and taken care of. We hope everyone who stays takes care of the property like it's your own so its always here to enjoy. Thank yoi again Kimberly for allowing us to make incredible memories at your beautiful property!!

Beautiful condo with excellent host
This place is bigger than the pictures make it seem, hosting my whole family of 12 very comfortably. The ease of getting out to the beach and cleaning up when you get back (there's even a nice foot wash!) makes it so if going to see the green water and white sand is what you want to do, you can (and will!) do it often. Having a beach level and a main level kitchen made it easy to make large meals and the grill was practically new and had all the tools to cook with. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space to spread out. The host had great tips for things to do and suggestions when we asked and one minor maintenance issue had people out within a few hours. Overall, an excellent stay, in an excellent location, with an excellent host.

Host profile image
I purchased my long time dream home in 2011. The season was starting. Due to laws I could not do renovations until 2012. At that time I did large major things such as New Air conditioners and moved them off small deck for less noise. I also built and over sized beach deck that is unique to most other places. Along with fresh bedspreads, new linens. Things to make the house clean and beach ready.
Since then my attention is on the inside adding more appliances, decorating just updating for beauty. Please review ALL reviews. I truly enjoy reading the guest book and learning of first sight of beach at 80 years old and a swim, weddings, family reunions etc. It makes my heart happy that I can share something that brings so much joy to my family and friends and more! This is a dream home for me. I have dreamed about it since I was 8 years old. I take pride in it and I want to share it with others so they can make fabulous memories here.

Why they chose this property

Rare they do not build them on the beach this close to the water anymore. Out house is not the typical narrow place that most are.
We have super wide rooms with mutiple large floors to ceiling windows that look out at our deck, beach and water. This is a hassle free holiday. Think of walking out to your backyard. The beach is our private backyard. We own from wall to wall of our house all the way down to the water. If you are out on the beach and you have forgotten something it isn't a big deal to walk in and get it or go to the bathroom because you are just a few steps into the house. At beach level we have a second kitchen with a full size fridg, sink and dishwasher...makes it easy for beach food and drinks and after eating dinners and lunches out on the deck or beach the dishwasher is right for you to load. No need to lug up to kitchen level. I have tried to make this the most relaxing beach vacation anyone could have.
Also if you want a little people population just walk the beach to the end of our complex, Capt Dave's has happy hour, Pampano Joe's had Volleyball, a beach bar , happy hour, The Crab Trap has a beach bar, a beach playground etc... shopping and entertainment is within 2 miles...so come relax and play on the powdery white sand and the beautiful emerald waters of our Beach House. Green Reef 18. Cheers to your next holiday here!

What makes this property unique

Hard to find home is built directly on the sand/beach. Great for Beach Weddings!
No lugging beach chairs and toys back and forth or having to cross a street. lean your chairs for the night on the sand fence at your beach deck..
Wide open rooms with floor to ceiling windows for room for everyone.
Two kitchens, two living rooms, 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths.
The views from every floor are tremendous. being directly on the beach and stepping off your deck onto the sand cannot be easier.
Have your wedding here and then stay for your Honeymoon. We also own another unit if this complex that sleeps additional 20 people along with other homes we own within 3 minute golf cart ride. Have your reception pool side at another of our homes. We can coordinate officiant, photographer, make up, hair, catering etc..
two living areas great for multiple families or teenagers having one area to themselves.
