About this property
Relaxing beach retreat steps away to beach, pools, hot tub tennis/pickleball!
You'll love this cozy beach cottage that comfortably sleeps 8 and is located in the popular gated MARAVILLA RESORT in DESTIN FL., a very short walk to the Emerald Waters & Sugary Sand Beaches along Scenic Gulf Drive. The Resort offers Private Deeded Beach Access, 2 swimming pools, 1 heated with a hot tub just a short hop and within view from the rear deck of this fabulous cottage. This family friendly community includes tennis courts, basketball court, fitness center, shuffle board and BBQ grills. "DESTIN"ATION BY THE SEA is centrally located close to Destin Harbor, Silver Sands & Destin Commons Shopping Centers, Big Kahunas Water Park, Restaurants/Bars, Golf, Watersports & Bike/Scooter Rentals.
From the moment you walk into "DESTIN"ATION BY THE SEA COTTAGE, you will feel right at home! A large, open concept, family room/dining room/kitchen provides plenty of space to relax with family and friends. The master bedroom has a private bath, a king size bed and private access to the back deck. There are two additional bedrooms, one with a queen size bed and the other with two twin beds and a double bed. All of the bedrooms have flat panel TVs. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the necessities such as blender, toaster, coffee maker, crock pot. A gas BBQ grill is on the side porch with easy access to the kitchen. There is a laundry room with full size washer and dryer along with an ironing board and iron. Enjoy the Florida sunshine, ocean breezes and your morning coffee on the wrap around front porch surrounded by beautiful palm trees. Or have your evening cocktails on the back deck that overlooks the pool, hot tub and community greenspace. We provide beach service that includes two chairs and an umbrella. You just need to bring your swimsuit and flip flops!

About the host
Hosted by Diane Seerey
Our primary residence is in the Show Me State. We live in Lake St. Louis, Mo and recently sold our lake home at Lake of Ozarks, Mo to pursue our dream of living near the beach as we get closer to retirement. We enjoy spending time at our second home with our 4 children, 4 grandchildren, family & friends.
Why they chose this property
We immediately fell in love with this charming beach cottage and its proximity to the beach, pool, recreation center and several restaurants and bars. We enjoy sitting out on the wraparound front porch or the rear deck overlooking the pool & green space, or taking a short walk to soak up the sun & sand at the private beach, or hopping on our bikes for ride along Scenic Gulf Drive.
What makes this property unique
Private Gated Community, Single Family Home, Fully Stocked Kitchen, Private Deeded Beach Access, conveniently located close to pool, beach, restaurants/bars, shopping, golf, tennis & many other local attractions
