Experience Your Vacation Haven

Let the waves & the good times roll in this beach house!

For many, being on the water and having gulf views from their beach house rental’s balcony is what makes a Destin vacation. If you want waterfront in one of the hottest areas of Destin, Florida, then you’re ready to “Let the Good Tides Roll!” This blissful, blue beach townhouse located in Crystal Beach is on the beach with a gateway to the water directly beside the Barracuda beach access point.

The two story beach townhouse has plenty of space for families to kick back and enjoy the surf and sun. Let the Good Tides Roll has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, space for 10 guests and comes with complimentary beach service that includes 2 chairs and 1 umbrella!

Stylishly decorated with variegated wood-style floors and soft coastal hued walls, this home perfectly captures the ambiance of the Emerald Coast. This townhouse rental’s first floor has two large queen bedrooms and a full bathroom. There’s added space with twin hall bunks…perfect for younger children. The first floor is rounded out with a wet bar and a refrigerator. The first floor living space is ideal for anyone who wants a little privacy on their beach getaway.

The second floor has an additional bedroom, which could be considered the master suite. The master has a king bed, upgraded with a Tempur-Pedic mattress. The bathroom has been recently renovated with a new walk-in shower and double vanity.

Meanwhile, the main living space has all new plush leather furnishings and a large TV, great for entertaining. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with new stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and an island…perfect for light entertaining! Open the living room doors to the balcony for extra space and to let the salty scent of the gulf breeze roll in.

When you’re ready to hit the sugar white sands, you’re mere steps away! Grab your blanket and sunblock and head to the water. Also at your fingertips while at Crystal Beach is the best of Destin’s dining and entertainment. Adjacent to Crystal Beach is the Destin Commons, an upscale shopping center, world-class golf, the infamous Big Kahuna waterpark, The Track, marina, and so much more!

Lane’s Vacation

We really enjoyed the house. It met all our expectations…we did not experience any issues with the rental. Very short walk to beach, house was very clean. Weather did not cooperate the first day and half but last two days were fantastic.

Great place for family on the beach!

We loved this home. The location was perfect for our family. Being so close to the beach made it so easy for us to go back and forth with our kids. The outdoor space was wonderful since that is where we spent our evenings socializing. We will definitely be looking at this place for our annual trip next year!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The bedroom split of upstairs and down gave plenty of privacy for all.

Perfect Beach Trip!

This house was in such a convenient location and you don’t have to cross any major roads to get to the beach! Basically the beach is at your door step. Plenty of room for family and friends. They also included some little essential things that were nice to have! Definitely will stay here again!

Very nice property!! Close to everything!!

Stayed for the weekend for my son's 14th birthday! We had a very nice time! The property is on the beach. It is very nicely decorated inside. Mrs. Evans was very responsive and nice to communicate with. The mall, outlet and restaurants are close to property also.

Incredibly Comfort and Convenient

Our family had an incredible stay. Property is steps away from beautiful beach. The property is fully furnished. We are a family that really likes to prepare our meals and this property had everything we needed no matter what our preparation needs were. Very nice and clean. We did face a major appliance issue and was a little stressful at first, but both My Vacation Haven and the owners acted impressively quickly to resolve - Thank you! We look forward to our return in the future.

Overall good, but not clean

Overall the property is exactly as described, however the floors are just not clean. I have a 1 year who crawled from1 room to another and her knees and hands were completely black. It looks like it never gets a good mopping only a swiffer or something light. If it would've been mopped this unit would've gotten a 5. Close to beach and nice arrangements

Great place! Look forward to staying again

We loved the house. The amenities that were added were great. We greatly appreciated the dish soap & dish detergent as that’s something that easily slips the mind. I love that the beach is so close & easily accessible. My only recommendation is that the sun does tend to shine in the main bedroom once it rises & the room tends to get hot. I think some heavier curtains or additional sun blocking shades would make it much better. Other than that it was great!

Great location on Crystal Beach

The house was as advertised and a short walk to the beach. There were plenty of toys provided for our 3 year old to play with on the beach and it was nice having the chair and umbrella set up for us at the beach every day. The kitchen had plenty of utensils and tools provided for cooking. As other reviewers have mentioned, the floors were very gritty when we first came in and our bare feet looked dirty after walking around the house. That aside, it was a great experience overall.

Destin Beach Cottage

The property is pretty much as described and located only a very short (100 yards or so) walk to the beach. The beach is spectacular!!!! White and soft with the texture of powdered sugar, bathed by the crystal clear, sparkling water of the Gulf of Mexico. The property sleeps 6 adults comfortably and, if you wanted, could add 2 small children in the bunk beds. A bonus is the proximity to a major shopping mall (Destin Commons), located only about a mile from the cottage. Publix, Fresh Market and Whole foods are also in the neighborhood. The staff, particularly manager Linsey Evans and Shara (housekeeping), is, for the most part, a delight to work with and the only negative we experienced was with a butt-wipe named Michael (I think that was his name) who should not be allowed to have guest contact. On the negative side, the place could use some painting and there were termites in the porch railing. Also, for a weeks stay, there was a shortage of toilet paper and paper towels. All in all, a good place that I would return to in the future.

Family gathering

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stay in Destin about twice a year, this is our first family trip with our kids and four of our grandkids. Two which are 8 months old the house and location was good the parking was challenging with two large vehicles only two spots that were really close. They house was good size and had everything we needed. The only thing I will knock it for was the cleaness of the floors. As I mentioned earlier we had two 8 month old boys with us that like to crawl. They were immediately black from the dirty floors. I didn't call housekeeping we swept and mopped the floors several times to get them clean. The only other thing I would knock the house for is the two outside decks are not large enough for a chair to sit, only for standing. The beds where comfortable and the linens where clean. The beach location was nice and convenient. It's right next to the public access so at times it can get loud from the passersbys.
