About this property

beach front for 17 5 star ratings

Beautiful, 5 star Cape Cod beachfront home on the beautiful, emerald-green crystal clear waters of the Gulf coast. You will sink your feet into white powdery sand that is just gorgeous and all yours for your vacation pleasure. There are only 5 stairs to enter the home, and big open areas on main level., so very comfortable home without having to climb up a bunch of stairs.

Our beach cottage has a white picket fence in the front yard with beautiful flowers blooming and swaying palm trees! It is beautifully appointed and has been updated with new furnishings, paint and decorations.

It features triple crown molding in all rooms, travertine tile on all floors, and granite on all counter tops throughout. Beautifully done! Our home has wooden window blinds,vertical blinds, and living room drapes for added beauty.

Guests will enjoy a large living/dining/kitchen open area with complete ocean viewing! The living and all bedrooms have flat screen smart tvs with utube TV, There is plenty of comfortable seating for lots of people. The sectional has a queen sleeper, The speed of the internet is excellent for guests to stream away! There are multiple USB charges as well. The large kitchen with table kitchen table for 6 and a separate dining table is located in the living area with seating for 8/10. The kitchen is always a gathering spot, and you will be enjoying a huge kitchen complete with all amenities. Truly a must if you enjoy cooking and plan to eat a few meals at home! There is a king bedroom on main level and has a large flat screen tv and very large room with full wall of windows view of the ocean. This master has a bathroom that has a small transom window for watching the ocean as you shower! It has a rain shower and a wall shower, but no tub.

The other bedroom on main level is a bunk room with two full size and two twin size bunks and a large flat smart tv on wall.
All of the bunks have their own usb outlets and wall lights. It has a private entrance to a bath that has a tub/shower. It is not gulf front, but you have a complete view of the ocean from it's bay window.

The laundry room is on the main level with separate washer and dryer, and ironing board.

The upstairs master has it's own private balcony and a 43 inch smart tv. It also has only a large tiled shower in the bath, but no tub. There is a full size and portable crib stored in the walk in closet in this room. The room is very large and has it's own balcony to enjoy your coffee while watching the dolphins play.

The other gulf front bedroom upstairs was designed with children or teens in mind. It has two queen beds plus a twin bed, so 5 people can easily sleep in this room. It also has a tv mounted on the wall so all in the beds can view the tv. It's tiled and marbled bath also has a shower, but no tub.

The main level balcony is covered and, and you will enjoy a teak table, and chairs plus two rockers and 2 chaise loungers.. All for your sunning and viewing pleasure, and watching the kiddies on the beach. there are gates for all entrances to the beach for protection of the children.

Plus, there are two beach umbrellas and 4 beach chairs set up for you each morning on your private beach from March-October.

Downstairs there is a large covered porch with an outdoor, private shower. Men and children love taking showers in this bath!!! There is room for sunning in chaise lounges on this level, or enjoying a sun free covered porch with a swing and enough tables and chairs to seat over 20 people. There is a refrigerator/freezer so you don't have to keep running upstairs for a cool drink!

You are within walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Kayak, bike, and scooter rentals are directly across the street. There is a convenience store just steps away, a good pizza place, (which also serves breakfasts), and a dairy queen just across the street as well as as beach store. This strip mall has everything! And, if you want wonderful gourmet coffees, step across the street to the Bad Ass Cafe...Wonderful place for breakfast, or walk down the beach to the Whale's Tail for breakfast or lunch. The largest upscale outlet mall in the country is less than two miles away as well as two grocery stores, drug stores, etc.

You will fall in love with this two story adorable beach cottage and want to call it your own. Just a few stairs to climb in the home so it is perfect for small kids and elderly. We have gates from the balcony to the lower level, and from the front door to the walkway to the deck on side of house. This is where the grill is located. We also have gates for use of the stairs in the main living area so little ones can't crawl up or down.

We live in Destin for the winter months and in Cashier's NC for the summer months, but our daughter in law is always standing by to take care of any needs you have, plus Ocean Reef also manages our property so they are there to help.

And. I am always just a text/ phone away, email, from you!

I promise you will never want to leave this precious beach cottage!

Wonderful
We had a wonderful vacation staying at this house! This is our second time staying here. We had plenty of space for everyone. The kids loved the bunk bed room! And the view can’t be beat. The beach chairs already set out for us daily is so wonderful. We had a small glitch of internet not working (at no fault of the owners). I communicated it to the house manager and they had people out to fix it within 24 hours. My family had the most enjoyable vacation.

Outstanding Destin Beachfront House
Cape Monaco is truly a spectacular property, and we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet beachfront location in Destin, Florida. It is exactly as described in the listing. The house is well maintained and located directly on the beautiful beach with beachfront access. Grocery stores, restaurants and shopping were also conveniently close by, which was an added plus. The white sand beach was amazing and the views from the house were simply stunning! The house is beautifully appointed, and you can tell great thought has been put into how the house is furnished, decorated and the amenities provided. We have a large family and we cooked several meals and never once found ourselves saying I wish we had this or that. Communication with the host prior to arriving was great as well as during our stay as we had some pretty serious inclement weather while we were there, and they reached out immediately to ask if there was anything that we needed or if anything needed to be repaired/addressed as a result. We had an exceptionally wonderful time on our trip even with the rain and inclement weather and if we ever plan another trip to Destin in the future, we will certainly hope to rebook this property.

Money Grab!
Falsely advertised. We rented this home the week of Thanksgiving. The house is in major disrepair. The furniture, rugs, walls, doors and commodes were filthy. The stair banister and doors were black with dirt and had never been cleaned! The commodes had urine and residue! The runner rugs need to be thrown out! We left the house cleaner than upon our arrival! The kitchen offers very little in terms of cookware/serving dishes. The heater went out because of an overload on the electric breaker and the breakers trip often. We had 60degree temps in the house for two days/nights before someone came. Hot water was intermittent at best. The H20 heater was replaced the day we left. We had several roaches in our rooms! This host/owner will respond to this review by saying that she handled issues as they came up and was attentive. Irrelevant. I requested a reimbursement of our cleaning fee and partial reimbursement of our rental rate due to the entire week's experience. The host replied to my email by saying she handled the issues as they came up and would not reimburse a dime. Not even the the high cleaning fee! This home needs repair work, a deep cleaning and new furniture. Don't rent this property, at the rate you can find far better! Our stay should've been seamless. It was gross. This host is taking advantage of people and denying any wrongdoing by claiming to address things promptly. With all the rentals in Miramar, do yourself a favor and find another one!

Cute and cozy
I cant say enough good things about this home and our stay there. The home was beautiful and welcoming, clean, and cozy. It was the perfect size for our family. The beds were super comfortable, beautifully furnished, alot of seating inside and outside of home, steps from the beach. It was an amazingly private area to be married on as well! Everyone who stayed fell in love with this home. I will definitely be back to stay here again! I personally loved the location, it was a wonderful week, thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Bev Monaco

Host profile image
I am Bev Monaco, and my husband is John. We retired to Destin 16 years ago and wouldn't dream of living anywhere else. We just love it here, but have found another wonderful spot in the mountains of North Carolina.. so we do the country club life in the summer in Cashier's and the quiet winters in Miramar Beach during the winter months. God has been wonderful to us!!! .. We have a full time handyman who makes sure our properties are kept in tip top shape. And, our daughter in law takes care of our properties like we would during the summer months. She is just awesome and you will adore her. We do!!! We lost our son, Maria's husband in a tragic accident over 3 years ago, so vacationing with loved ones is even more special to us as we know that can change in an instant. We insist on making sure our guests have incredibly wonderful vacations when they stay in any of our properties! We are very much hand's on with our guest's needs.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I were flying to Hawaii for a vacation 18 years ago, and United Airlines had a big spread in their magazine about the Emerald Coast of Florida.. I grew up in Atlanta, Ga and had never even heard of the Emerald Coast as my parents were not beach lovers. When we returned I flew to Destin with the intention of buying a small condo IF the beach and surroundings were as described in the article.. Within a day, I called my husband to tell him I had found the perfect retirement spot for which we had been searching for several years! We bought a deep water lot to build our retirement home on... BUTT, my husband decided he wasn't ready to retire, so I decided to come back down as I was certainly retiring! I planned on buying a condo. but spotted the beach house and dove straight into beach living! I spent 3 great summers with all my girlfriends coming down for golfing and beaching...(John flew down a few weekends a month) until we moved down full time and built our retirement home. The rest is history.. We starting acquiring beautiful properties as investments to rent out. I loveeee decorating and doing all the things I think our guest's need to ensure they have wonderful experiences. We wouldn't live any other place in the world! (Except for the mountains in Cashier's NC during the summer months!!!!) The beaches here are just the most beautiful in the world. It is just a gorgeous little piece of Heaven!

What makes this property unique

We host a sibbling reunion each year at our beach home and always experience incredibly beautiful memories. My sister and I were sitting on the balcony of 24559 at sunset about 10 years ago and saw the 'green flash'! It was incredible to witness!!! It was over so quickly, but for years we had read books that referenced the 'green flash' but never knew if it was really true.. Well, it is!! (Of course, the rest of the sibblings and our spouses insist we had had one glass of wine too many!!!) The beach here is unlike any other in the world.. beautiful pure white powdery sand made from ice crystals and crystal clear emerald green waters.. incredible restaurants and wonderfullll people.. it is a wonderfulllll vacation spot!!!
