**Sandy Toes**

An ideal home for 1-2 families with children - we sleep up to 6 people or 4 adults max.

You already love Crystal Beach. Now you have found that quintessential Crystal Beach Cottage you have always been looking for!

This single story home is only rented to select groups looking for something extraordinary. This Crystal Beach cottage comes with a large front porch, an even larger screened-in back porch, a side porch, and two bedrooms, each with a comfortable KING bed. The master bedroom has an en-suite bath with custom shower and walk-in closet, and the second bedroom has an adjacent full bath with a skylight. This is the home your family or small group will want to rent every year!

Feel free to bring your Tesla or other electric/hybrid vehicles - there's a 50 amp Level 2 J1772 universal charger at the home for you!

This home has everything you could want in a beach cottage - and more: a custom kitchen, an inviting living/dining area, an extra living area in the back with built-in desk, a large screened-in back porch, a neat little side porch with an outside shower, and a great PRIVATE POOL in a beautifully landscaped backyard. The pool can be heated in the cooler months, for an additional fee. There’s even a piano in the home! All this, and it’s barely a block from the beach and the pristine white sands Destin and Crystal Beach are famous for.

We keep this home clean and well updated, and pay attention to amenities that you expect, such as high-speed wireless internet (FREE WIFI), a large 4K TV in the living room, big, fluffy bath towels and hair dryers in each bathroom, and more. We also provide items our smaller guests may need like a high chair and a pack-n-play.

INSIDE THE HOME

Everyone will feel right at home when you gather in the inviting open living and dining spaces of this amazing home with new real white oak floors. Custom shutters are a welcome upgrade that will make your stay even cozier. You'll love the upgraded sleeper sofa and oversized chair where you can sit back and watch the large, high resolution, 4K Smart TV. There is also a new dining table that seats 6.

The custom kitchen is a chef’s dream with beautiful coastal cabinets and quartz countertops. The beautiful wood floors continue into this custom space which boasts higher-end stainless steel appliances, a gas stove with convection oven, and most everything you’ll need to cook nice meals.

The kitchen is equipped with plenty of dishes, pots and pans, serving dishes and utensils. There’s a Keurig K-Cup coffee maker, as well as a regular drip coffee maker. You’ll find a blender, toaster, and even a crock-pot in this well-equipped kitchen. We also supply many “extras” such as cleaning products, trash bags, aluminum foil, and plastic wrap.

For your convenience, we have a front-loading washer and dryer in the home’s walk-in laundry room, iron, ironing board, and a second refrigerator.

POOL & OUTDOOR AREA

The beautiful private pool is surrounded by stone decking and nice landscaping, giving you plenty of space to enjoy the Destin sunshine. The pool can be heated in cooler months for an additional fee. You can relax in the lounge chairs or at the dining table with chairs and umbrella for a little shade. For outdoor cooking, you’ll find a gas grill. And for your children’s safety, there are alarms on the doors leading to the pool from the main house.

PERFECT BEACH LOCATION
The Shirah Street public beach access point is just a short walk to the end of the block! We provide a beach cart with beach chairs and umbrella, so you can roll your gear to the beach with ease.

This home is in the heart of Crystal Beach, a quiet, walkable neighborhood with white picket fences and easy access to shopping, restaurants and activities in Destin. Destin Commons, a beautiful upscale shopping and entertainment center, is less than a half-mile away. It features over 75 shops and restaurants, including Bass Pro Shop, World of Beer, Uncle Buck's Fish Bowl & Grill, AMC Theater with IMAX and much more. Local favorite, Camille’s, is an easy walk and The Crab Trap is about a mile east. You can bicycle, scooter, Jet ski and go parasailing all within walking distance. The Silver Sands Outlet mall is not far for those who enjoy “retail therapy”!

Our C.C. House Review

The house was pretty, spacious and full of surprises! Our family had a wonderful time staying here. We also loved meeting the cat named Squeaky from next door, going to the beach and swimming in the pool. I hope that every one after us has just as much fun as we did.

As good as they claim

The pool was delightful after time of the beach. We walked the one block to the beach and then walked along the beach to the state park, which is one or two blocks down so that we didn’t have to worry about the condos or hotels claiming beachfront. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was, well appointed and easy to use. We will go back again.

We stayed in this house a few years ago and to our surprise, the property was just as amazing!

Usually when we repeatedly stay at a property we notice a slow decline in how things are kept up with and maintained, Not the case at Sandy Toes! Place was just as if not better than the last visit. Perfect for our family!
