About this property

Mario Cottage - Destin's Crystal Beach, Heated Private Pool, Volleyball Court!

Mario Cottage -

Sun, sand, swim—this is what a Destin vacation is all about! Enjoy everything the beach has to offer when you stay at Mario Cottage, a three-story vacation home nestled in Destin’s Crystal Beach community. With sunny living space, breezy balconies, and a private pool and sundeck, this home radiates coastal relaxation. It has four bedrooms, four baths and can accommodate twelve vacationers.

Upon arrival, the first thing you’ll see is the quintessential southern front porch furnished with outdoor chairs. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy an ice-cold lemonade or refreshing cocktail while chatting with your fellow vacationers. The home’s first-floor open great room greets you as soon as you walk in the door. Hardwood flooring extends throughout the space, and multiple large windows let in all the Florida sunshine. The living room boasts a plush, cream-colored wraparound couch that faces a flatscreen TV mounted atop a decorative credenza. A hardwood coffee table rounds out the room. The adjacent dining table sits beneath two industrial-style chandeliers. Six cushioned chairs surround the glass-topped table. You can find additional seating at the kitchen bar, where there are four wooden stools. The kitchen features large granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and white cabinetry.

One guest bedroom is located on the first floor. The room includes a queen-size bed with a tufted headboard, rustic-style furnishings, and shares a full hall bath with the great room. Two additional bedrooms are upstairs on the second level. One of these is the colorful primary suite, which features a king-size bed and a queen-size sleeper sofa. Teal-toned walls, white furnishings, and ocean-inspired décor gives off a beachy vibe. The master bedroom has its own ensuite bath with a tub/shower combo. A guest bedroom on this level has a king-size bed, a full/twin bunk, and access to a furnished balcony. Upstairs, the third-floor loft bedroom includes a king-size bed. All bedrooms have flatscreen TVs.

When not relaxing indoors, visitors will love lounging on the private sundeck or taking a refreshing swim in the pool. Outdoor chairs surround the pool, making it easy to soak up the sun or read a book in the perfect coastal weather. A raised deck with two picnic tables and a BBQ grill are provided for guest use. You may find yourself cooking up a poolside surf n’ turf meal several times during your vacation. From the deck, guests can access the property’s sand volleyball court. Challenge your fellow vacationers to one match, or make it a fun tournament.

Another benefit of booking a stay at this cute coastal cottage is its proximity to the beach—those famous sugary shores are only a five-minute walk from the front door. And when you’re ready for more adventuring, check out the nearby hotspots, including Silver Sands Premium Outlets, the Village of Baytowne Wharf, and Grand Boulevard. As an Ocean Reef Resorts guest, you will also receive reduced rates on recreation rentals, championship golf, and tennis. Book your beach vacation and start making lifelong memories!

We understand that this property is under new ownership as of Feb 2023. We went in August 2023 and this home needs alot of TLC! The couch was so old and stained that you sunk to the floor when sitting on it. Someone "tried" to paint some of the rooms but the paint job was awful and needs to be finished. The roach traps in the kitch were disgusting. Please take better care of this property if you are going to rent it. Would not rent again.

nice place
The house, pool & location were nice. Dishes were sparse tho for a large group & couch cushions were wet on arrival. But overall for the price we'd stay there again.

Very clean and nice
We loved that there was a pool for the littles that didn't want to stay at the beach all day. there was plenty of room for everyone to have their privacy and plenty of room for all to gather. It had all of the necessities convenient and like home.
