Great location

Brad was very accommodating, great on communication and very helpful. Great house and great space. Beaches in both directions and having the dock was a game changer. We brought our own boat but you can rent a boat to keep there as well. It opened up so much of Destin that most don’t get to see.Highly recommend this property

Nice Waterfront Townhouse

The overall stay was excellent, Brad the host is very nice and prompt to make sure everything is ok. The only reason I didn’t give it all 5 stars on cleanliness is only due to side yard. Pets are welcome which is great, but is was about the only place to walk dogs and it was pretty overgrown. Other than that it was great and would definitely stay again.

Perfect Location with a Boat

We had an amazing time here! The owner Brad is super responsive to any questions or needs. We took our boat, and the boat dock was great. It was a super short ride out to Crab Island! The place is spacious and the AC WORKS! Plenty of fridge space and parking at this unit. The neighbors were also friendly. Short distances to grocery stores and some fantastic restaurants. Overall it was great! Would definitely stay here again in the future! 😊

Outdated kitchen.

The location was great. A nice place, but the appliances need updated and there were cracked tiles in the kitchen. Listing states two kitchens, but the second “kitchen” is just a refrigerator and sink; no microwave or stove.

Wonderful Stay

This townhome was perfect for our two week vacation. It provides convenient boat dockage and easy access to Destin harbor and the pass to go off shore. It is a very spacious unit that accommodates two couples and two teenagers, who had their own space, apartment style, downstairs. We also brought our family pet! The extra AC in the dining area is a bonus! We used it at nighttime and slept comfortably. And the beds are comfy, too! We loved having the 2 refrigerators. Brad and Lisa are excellent hosts. Brad responded quickly to any questions and was very nice. We will be back!

AWESOME home for boaters, great location & GREAT host!!!

I cannot say enough great things about this home and most importantly the host, Brad. He responds super quick with any & all questions. Home was gorgeous & we were able to bring (2) boats and he has an off-site lot near boat launch to store boat trailers. Plenty of vehicle parking at condo. We enjoyed being able to use the paddle boards on-site. PLENTY of space for 3 couples, separate rooms and 3 bathrooms. Full kitchen upstairs and kitchenette downstairs was nice to keep drinks & snacks while hanging out on dock/porch. Beds comfy, 2 washer & dryers, AC worked GREAT, very clean, NICELY stocked full kitchen upstairs. We will be booking here again for our next stay :) Again, Brad is a WONDERFUL host!!!! You will not be disappointed, I promise!!!! Boaters paradise, closest canal to Crab Island. You simply idle the whole way there & enjoy the scenery of the Harbor walk restaurants & bars along the way and you can also hang out at the beach across from the Harbor walk (pull boat up on the beach) and watch all the boats/yachts go by. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Brad and Lisa Fletcher

Host profile image
Married male grown up locally. Four kids raised in Destin. Retired and doing this as a hobby. Call for area information or ask me when you get here. 2nd boat slip for rent and you may see me from time to time boarding my boat or launching my paddle board or one man ocean kayak. The 34' Blue Pursuit in the slip is mine, sorry, not for rent.

Why they chose this property

On Holiday Island. 3BR on the water for less than a hotel room. Word!! Choose between beach and harbor activities at your door. Best of all, bring your boat(s). Swimming or just floating in the canal out back. Jetties, beach and Noriega point all within walking distance. Incredibly peaceful and relaxing evenings on the back deck with water, fish and stars.
Free Parking for trailers and RVs off site at 412 Kelly St. near the Joe's Bayou public launch.

What makes this property unique

Entire 1BR downstairs has its own living area and kitchenette. 2nd kitchen and washer and dryer and full bath on 2nd floor. Or keep door open and it is part of the whole place. Both sofas pull out so you have 5 beds plus futon space. Largest unit in the complex with most parking and biggest decks. Free parking for trailers off site at 318 Sibert Ave., shell drive off of Sibert Ave.. near Joe's Bayou Public Launch.

Boat slips are available to rent to third parties if open. Very close to everything.
