*All guests must read our listing description & house rules fully before booking. This condo isn't a good fit for everyone, so we want to ensure you have a great stay*
The Space:
While you're not beachfront (note we are approximately 3/4 mile driving distance from public beach access at June Decker Park) & there isn't a fantastic view, the exceptional proximity to everything "Destin" can't be beat! We understand that our home may not be a good fit for everyone, we go above and beyond for our guest satisfaction!
Where You'll Sleep:
Bedroom 1: Queen over Queen built in Bunks
Two twin fold out memory foam mattresses
Bedroom 2: King bed
At "Captain's Quarters" we’ve created a space that once you arrive, you’ll leave all your worries at the door. Our desire is to have guests relishing in the fine design, custom touches, and tranquil vibes for their Destin experience.
Our rare layout of two bedrooms & two attached full bathrooms leaves plenty of room for your entire group to enjoy. We can accommodate up to 8 guests in our cozy setting. You'll be impressed with the level of detail that has gone into the decor here, with custom touches from floor to ceiling!
Our second floor condo offers a stairway entrance to the breezeway (sorry, no elevator access) which is open air, not a stuffy hotel or mega-complex feel. Guests can enjoy no upstairs neighbors for a relatively quiet stay! For ease of access, guests are provided with keyless entry code the day of arrival-no need to fumble with keys. Parking is a breeze as well, with many spots directly in front of our building. There is also an outdoor
activity area for recreation with picnic table / grill adjacent to your building in clear view off your balcony.
Upon arrival, you'll enter directly into the living room area that will have you kicking back in no time at all on our comfy sectional, with an open layout that everyone can enjoy together. From our rustic wood ceiling, to the back wall full of windows, guests can enjoy a comfortable "sail away with me" feel that we've created. We've added a large SmartTv on the "gator skin" wall, right above an electric fireplace for those "rare" chilly Florida nights. Enjoy a few board games for evenings in, or just to entertain the kids! Guests that are working or schooling in their home away from home can setup at the desk in the living area, a highly sought after amenity for many travelers. A small balcony with light seating right off the living space is a great space to begin the day with a cup of Joe, or wind down with an adult beverage!
Our open concept kitchen is unlike any others in the complex. We've built out the custom counter space to create a spacious breakfast bar with comfortable seating for 4. Additional seating is found at the dining table for 4. We offer a full suite of stainless appliances, a Hamilton Beach Flex Brew coffee maker (regular drip & Keurig), dishes, bakeware, silverware, cutlery, blender, toaster, teapot, and more! The cook in your group will surely be pleased to spend mealtime here!
For our tiny travelers, we have plastic bowls, plates, silverware, cups, a pack and play, and a small high chair. These items are always at the condo, so no need to request them or rent them elsewhere.
The first bedroom, closest to the entrance, offers a custom built in bunk bed with queen over queen bunks & additional twin fold out memory foam mattresses. Guests will find this space to be accommodating for both adults & children alike. There is adequate room for luggage storage, and clothing storage available in the wardrobe in the corner of the room. A smartTv is mounted here.
This bedroom has a private bathroom attached that includes a toilet, sink, a large stand up shower with a small seat & large showerhead.
The second bedroom is truly the "Captain's Quarters" with a plush King bed, wardrobe in the corner, and a large SmartTv. The attached en-suite bathroom has a custom tile walk-in shower complete with multiple shower heads, toilet, and large granite top vanity with a vessel sink.
A full sized washer and dryer is conveniently located in unit, directly off the living/dining area.
Guest Access:
Guests have access to the entire second floor condo (sorry no elevator access, stairs only). Our gated complex offers 3 shared pools, with the pool closest to the the laundromat offering seasonal heating! There are tennis courts to enjoy, just bring your equipment! Our lake in the center of the complex has a fun walkover bridge that you can peek over to see hundreds of turtles below-enjoyed by children and adults alike!
Other Things to Note:
A few important things to keep in mind:
This condo is professionally cleaned prior to your arrival and we attempt to catch every detail. If something needs attention upon check-in, please notify us ASAP and we will address the issue right away. Please keep in mind we are a small business, doing the best we can, and that cleaning is done by fallible humans. Although we have a stellar cleaning crew, mistakes do happen from time to time, and they are happy to come back to correct anything that missed the mark.
-Smoking is not permitted on the balcony or near the building at any time.
-Due to this being a residential complex, noise ordinances are at 10pm sharp. We do not permit excessive noise, parties, illegal activity, or disturbances at any time.
-While we do host groups 25 years or younger at our discretion, we must be notified before your confirmed booking. We do not host one night bookings for ages 25 and younger at any time.
-Any stay that a house trained pet will be included in MUST be disclosed when booking, as a pet fee of $50 is required. We do not accept more than 2 dogs, and pets must be crated when unattended and cleaned up after inside and out. Pets are not permitted on furniture at any time. ADA recognized service animals are not charged a pet fee, but ESA (Emotional Support Animals) are still subject to pet fee. False information regarding a service animal is against the law in our state, so we appreciate your honesty in this matter.
-We are NOT beachfront, you can't see the beach, you can't stick your toes in the sand from the front door, and you do have to get in your vehicle to drive to the PUBLIC beach access that is 3/4 mile from our condo. We do not have a gated or private beach access at this location.
-This is a mixed community with residential & short term guests alike. While the gated community itself is a "community in transition" with updates to the exterior being improved steadily, we do not have control over any "look" of the exterior of our condo. We have gone above & beyond to create a beautiful & cozy space INSIDE for our guests enjoyment!
