Come enjoy living like a local in central Destin! Accommodating up to 6 guests (& up to two pets, with a $50 pet fee) in our two bedroom & two bathroom lake view condo, we have all the comforts of home for your Destin trip!
PLEASE NOTE: At this time our HOA is doing a full remodel of two of the community pools. During this time the Heated pool near the tennis courts & the pool near building 6 will be unavailable to guests. The pool next to building 21 will be available for guests during this time. We apologize for any inconvenience, but are looking forward to our brand new pools soon!
While you're not beachfront & there isn't a fantastic view, the driving proximity to everything Destin can't be beat to live like a local! While we understand that our home may not be a good fit for everyone, we go above and beyond for our guest satisfaction!
**We cannot stress enough for all potential guests to read our listing & rules in full detail before booking, to ensure our place is satisfactory for your needs. While we have created a budget friendly, fresh, upbeat space inside, there are some exterior limitations that are beyond our control-our condos were built in the 70's so are not the "prettiest" aesthetically. We understand that our home is not for everyone & want our guests to have the best experience when choosing to book with us**
Welcome to our cozy two bedroom condo with accommodations to sleep up to 6 guests. Our bed layout is as follows:
Bedroom One-King Bed
Living Room-Queen Sleeper Sofa
Bedroom Two-two Twin beds.
One of very few units in our complex that offers TWO FULL bathrooms!
For our tiny travelers we have an easy to use high chair, pack and play, and plastic dinnerware, utensils, & cups. These items are always at our listing for guest use, so no need to pack them along or rent them elsewhere!
When you arrive, you'll go up one flight of stairs (sorry, no elevator access) then enter with a code on our keyless entry keypad, for added convenience! You'll walk right in to the living room that welcomes you with a comfortable queen sleeper sofa and a cozy seating area for everyone to enjoy each other's company. We've added a Smart Tv with HuluLive offered for our guests convenience. Guests can feel free to login to their own medias (Netflix, YouTube, Etc) during your trip as well! Cabinets near the TV offer a bunch of games, for nights in or rainy days when a beach day isn't ideal.
Our entire back wall of the condo brings a gorgeous amount of natural light from the wall of windows. Our dining area sits facing the windows, for a great view of the lake to enjoy your morning cup of coffee in the AC!
Our laundry room, with a stackable washer & dryer, iron, and ironing board, is situated directly next to the dining area as well-no need to go to the laundromat or take a suitcase of dirty clothes home!
Our kitchen area is an open concept to the living area, and four barstools at the breakfast bar for enjoying your meals and time together. We've stocked this kitchen with a brand new stainless steel Refrigerator & Oven, microwave, dishes, bake ware, pots & pans, silverware, utensils, cups, wine glasses, a full spice rack, standard coffee maker, hot water kettle, and Keurig.
Directly off the kitchen area you can find a private & relaxing place to wind down at the end of the day in the first bedroom with a comfortable King bed with an abundance of pillows for a great nights sleep. A Roku enabled tv here is perfect for relaxing in bed watching your favorite shows at the end of the day. Guests can access a spacious en-suite bathroom with a shower/tub combo, vanity with a backlit mirror, and toilet area with shelves to keep your toiletries during your stay!
Our second bedroom is located off the living room, with two twin beds, an armoire &dresser for clothing storage, and a Roku enabled tv. This bedroom also offers an en-suite bathroom with a shower, toilet, and vanity area with a stylish backlit mirror.
While we are not walking distance to the beach, there is public beach access within 3/4 mile at June Decker Public Beach Access, and extremely family friendly Henderson Beach State Park 1.6 miles away.
We also offer the convenience of having two entrances to our complex! The main entrance allows you to drive directly onto the main road through Destin, and another allowing you to exit onto a side road near a stop light when traffic gets a little crazy in our small town!
You're in the best spot within our gated community for easy access to amenities as well! There are tennis courts, just bring along your gear to play to your heart's content. One of three community pools is located next to the tennis courts & as an added bonus this is the only pool that is seasonally heated! The other two pools are located on either side of the bridge overlooking the lake. Guests can also enjoy our small lake that offers a quaint feel for an evening stroll. Take an opportunity to peek over the bridge at the abundance of turtles that call this space home! Lastly, guests can enjoy charcoal grills throughout the complex for any meals they'd like to grill out.
A few important things to keep in mind:
-Our home is professionally cleaned prior to your arrival & we attempt to catch every detail. If something needs attention upon check-in, please notify us ASAP so that we can properly address the issue. Please keep in mind that we are a small business that strives for the best, and that cleaning is done by fallible humans. Although we have a stellar cleaning crew, mistakes happen, and they are happy to remedy anything that was overlooked.
-We supply all linens for your stay (to include beach towels). Our cleaners offer a courtesy supply of LIGHT amenities (a trash bag, roll of toilet paper, paper towels, soap, dish detergent, & laundry soap). If you have a trip longer than 24 hours, or are coming with a larger group please plan ahead & bring any extra items you anticipate needing during your stay
-We do not permit one night bookings/instant booking for weekends/holidays at any time.
-Extra guests not included in the reservation are not tolerated, please book with accurate guest count for your stay and to ensure we’ve provided enough linens as well.
-Due to this being a residential complex, noise ordinances are at 10pm sharp. We do not permit excessive noise, parties, illegal activity, or disturbances at any time.
-Trailer/RV/BoxTruck/Watercraft parking is not permitted at any time in our complex. Towing fees issued from the HOA do apply to any violation of this.
-Smoking is not permitted in the condo or near the building at any time.
-While we do host groups 25 years or younger at our discretion, we must be notified before your confirmed booking. We do not host one night bookings for ages 25 and younger at any time.
-Any stay that a house trained pet will be included in MUST be disclosed when booking, as a pet fee of $50 is required. We do not accept more than 2 dogs, and pets must be crated when unattended and cleaned up after inside and out. Pets are not permitted on furniture at any time. ADA recognized service animals are not charged a pet fee, but ESA (Emotional Support Animals) are still subject to pet fee. False information regarding a service animal is against the law in our state, so we appreciate your honesty in this matter.
-We are NOT beachfront, you can't see the beach, you can't stick your toes in the sand from the front door, and you do have to get in your vehicle to drive to the PUBLIC beach access that is 3/4 mile from our condo. We do NOT have a gated or private beach access at this location. We provide beach towels only, no other beach items.
-This is a mixed community with residential & short term guests alike. While the gated community itself is a "community in transition" with updates to the exterior being improved steadily, we do not have control over any "look" of the exterior of our condo. We have gone above & beyond to create a beautiful & cozy space INSIDE for our guests enjoyment!
You have full access to the entire condo, the complex swimming pools, tennis courts, laundry facilities (and private laundry at the condo),and two entrances to the condo complex. We're within walking distance of beach stores, Waffle House, Chick-Fil-A, Shakes Frozen Custard, Mary's Kitchen, Beach Liquors, Subway, Merlin's Pizza, Smoothie King, and The Track!
