Six bedrooms. Fourteen guests. One absolutely unbeatable location. Crystal Beach Villages puts your group right in the heart of it all — and the view from your balcony proves it. Wake up to a resort-style lagoon pool with a rock waterfall and hot tub just across the street, take the seasonal tram straight to the sugar-white sand, and come back to a home spacious enough for the whole crew to spread out and unwind. With Destin Commons around the corner and everything the Emerald Coast has to offer within easy reach, this is the kind of vacation that checks every box on every list.
Waterdog II is a beautiful 6-bedroom, 3 and a half-bathroom coastal retreat that comfortably sleeps up to 14 guests, located in the sought-after Villages of Crystal Beach. Just steps from the resort-style community pool, the home offers a refined setting with thoughtfully designed living spaces for enjoying time along the Emerald Coast.
Inside, the home features bright, well-appointed interiors centered around the main living spaces on the first floor. The kitchen, dining, and living areas are thoughtfully arranged to create a welcoming setting for gathering, while a second floor living area with a kitchenette provides an additional place to unwind. The spacious bedroom layout across all three levels offers a flexible setup for families and groups, including a dedicated bunk room that works especially well for younger guests.
Step outside to the resort-style community amenities just moments from the front door, where afternoons unfold by the lagoon pool, evenings settle in around the hot tub, and shaded lounge areas and the poolside tiki bar create an inviting place to gather. A seasonal community tram provides convenient access to the beach, while public access at both Barracuda and Pompano Street is about a 10-minute walk away. The complimentary 6-passenger golf cart (LSV) makes getting around an effortless part of your stay. With its thoughtful layout and access to resort-style amenities, Waterdog II offers a memorable Crystal Beach getaway.
