The Neighborhood:
You are in the heart of Crystal Beach, and directly across from the Destin Commons with plenty of shopping, entertainment, and restaurants. The Silver Sands Outlets are within a few minutes drive East with more shopping, restaurants, and a play area for kids. There are plenty of public beach accesses close by within walking/golf cart distance.
Getting Around:
• We love taking the golf cart to pretty much anywhere around this area. Walking can be just as fast during busy times as everything is so close. Or take an Uber, Lyft, or taxi to avoid dealing with traffic and parking. The town is fairly easy to navigate, as most everything to do is directly off the main road through in either direction!
• Airport Distances:
Destin FL (VPS) - 17 miles
Panama City FL (ECP) - 48 miles
Pensacola FL (PNS) - 75 miles
Other Things to Note:
• Golf cart is not available for those age 25 years and younger to operate.
• Pool heating pricing varies, inquire for rates for your stay! Please give us a 24-hour notice for pool heating so we can get it just right prior to your arrival.
• Self check-in with keypad
