About this property

DESTIN BEACH PARADISE! LARGE PRIVATE POOL, AMAZING BEACHES AND GOLF CART DEALS!

The “Kokonut Hut” is a newly renovated beach house in the heart of Destin’s best neighborhood “Crystal Beach.” The home sleeps up to twelve and is set up for two or three families with children. It has four bedrooms (three king master bedrooms and one bunk room) and three full bathrooms. The home is in easy walking distance to the beach, Whole Foods, Destin Commons, the movie theater, Uncle Buck's bowling alley and many other restaurants and attractions. This home has ample parking for at least five vehicles in the driveway. Boats, jet skis, trailers and even Class A RVs can easily be parked in the driveway. This quaint, beach cottage with four bedrooms and three baths will make for the perfect vacation getaway!

You will enjoy cooking out on the gas grill in your backyard, or soaking up the sun next to your LARGE PRIVATE (13'X 26') HEATED POOL (Additional cost for pool heating) . This home is only a short walk to the sugar-white sand of the Gulf of Mexico, but even shorter when you ride the STREET LEGAL GOLF CART that is available to rent with the home! There is a wraparound deck, screened-in porch, detached in-laws quarters and lovely palm trees will welcome you. Remember - Life's a Beach - Dive In!!!

STREET LEGAL GOLF CART. We have a 2021 model street legal four or six passenger golf cart available for our guests to rent in addition to the home. Getting to the beach has never been easier or more fun! You can save up to $500 on a weekly booking! Why book any place else?

We stayed for 5 nights and really enjoyed it. The house was just as expected and communication with the host was great and very responsive. We did rent a golf cart but really did not need to get the beach closer than we thought. It was nice to have the cart though because you can drive it to eat or shop without having to get our car out.

The property is nice and pool works out perfect with heat for Spring Break. The only issue was a separated”mother-in-law suite”/ pool house which was a little inconvenient for 2 families.

Awesome beach rental!

This house was clean, two blocks from the beach and had an awesome private pool that the whole family enjoyed! The extra pool room was a great place for the grandparents to sleep. We had six adults and three kids and were very comfortable. The owner was very responsive when we contacted them with questions.

Perfect spot for a family of 5

This cute bungalow was a perfect fit for our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids). Location was amazingly close to the beach and the 6 seater golf cart made getting to the beach so easy and in less than 2 minutes! Backyard pool was a huge bonus as well and the kids were in it all the time!

Amazing Place to Stay

We had such a great time. Very close 3 min walk to private Crystal Beach. House amenities were all up to par. The home was very clean and The outdoor shower was very convenient to rinse off after day at the beach. The swimming private pool was a nice touch at the end of every day. Host was very caring and fast to respond to all communication. I recommend this stay to all families.

Excellent Destin Get-away!

This rental was amazing! We stayed the last week in June and thoroughly enjoyed the house. We especially loved the backyard pool and the proximity to the beach. The house was clean, the backyard was private, and the pool was perfect for our family vacation. The renter was responsive and checked in on us after arrival. He even worked to provide recommendations for a golf cart rental that worked out perfectly. You can not go wrong with this vacation rental!

We loved our stay at Crystal Beach!

House was the perfect location. We rented the golf cart, which I would highly recommend. It was a short 6 block ride to the beach. The beach is gorgeous and you will not be disappointed. We paid extra to have the pool heated and would also recommend that. We had some cooler days and the kids enjoyed the pool when we couldn't be at the beach.

Destin = Amazing and This House didn’t Disappoint

We had never been to Destin before so we decided to this year. Peter was so easy to communicate with. If I had any questions about where to go for this or that, he was so quick to respond. The golf cart was so convenient as well. The house handled our family as well as my mom She LOVED the mother in law suite! We will most definitely be coming back.
