Welcome to "Beachfront Haven" (Green Reef 13) - your beach home away from home! Experience a Destin beach vacation like no other!
This home is built directly on the sand (not across a street) on the sand AND it owns its own beach. The beach s yours to use just or you and your guests from corner to corner of your oversized beach deck down to where the public walks along the water is all your beach!!! A private beach not shared with anyone not even a complex like most private beaches. 4 beach chairs and two umbrellas are included (beach service set up by beach chairs company March through October) plus we have 4 beach chair and an extra umbrella on the beach deck for your use on the beach if you would like extra chairs.

Green Reef is a high-demand beachfront complex of only 20 total units with EXCLUSIVE PRIVATE BEACH FOR EACH HOME AS EACH HOME OWNS ITS OWN BEACH SO THE ONLY PEOPLE ON YOUR SLICE OF BEACH IS FOR YOU AND YOUR GUESTS- YOU DO NOT SHARE YOUR BEACH WITH ANYONE ELSE FROM CORNER TO CORNER OF YOUR BEACH DECK DOWN TO WHERE THE PUBLIC WALKS ALONG THE WATER (most private beaches share the beach with people in a complex, subdivision or high rise- not here the backyard/ beach is ALL yours! WE are built on the sand not across the street. The only way to get closer to the water is to be on a boat.

Fantastic location
6 / 10Average·Aug 2023
The a/c air filters in both units were clogged. My husband changed one as there was one extra filter but no extra filters to replace the upstairs filter. There were roach like bugs on the basement stairs one evening. There were holes in the main living room couch. The dish water was broke and her communication insinuated that we caused it. The property manager did replace the dishwasher the next day so that was great. The property manager’s communication style could be more inviting and welcoming. Great location and private beach access was fabulous.
