About the host
Hosted by Ryan Price
This was our first home together as a couple; we purchased in 2014 and lived here until the military moved us out of the area. We plan to keep this as our forever home and will return in retirement. The beaches are unmatched to anywhere else in the US and we love the area. This home is in the best part of Destin - halfway between San Destin/30A and the Harbor area of Destin. It's more of a residential area with quiet streets so you can easily access shopping and restaurants. While we are away from the area, we love to share our favorite place with others and hope you enjoy it too!
Why they chose this property
Short walk to the beach, so no need for driving (900 measured feet to Tarpon Street beach access). Close to the Destin Commons where you have everything -- Whole Foods, Bass Pro Shop, shops, restaurants, and a movie theater. What we love about our home is that it has plenty of backyard space with established trees - and a large pool! We chose more living room space and larger rooms to feel less cramped and allow for the group to spread out. There is enough dining table space to have the entire group come together for meals (both inside and out). There are three separate balconies on the second and back third floor (for sunbathing) the front porch and two living/family rooms. So there's an opportunity to be close with the group/family you bring, but also enough space to spread out on your own if needed. We have littles in our family so we have items for younger children in the home (we like to visit as often as we can).
What makes this property unique
House has everything you need - and you can pack less. Every bathroom has soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The kitchen is fully stocked with paper towels (2), dish towels, blender, two coffee makers (single cup Keurig and Standard Coffee Pot), and lots of pots/pans to make some great meals at home. Appliances are new and updated - there is a washer/dryer on the ground and top floor. We have a beach wagon, beach chairs, beach towels, and umbrellas.
