About this property

Commanders Palace- Gulf View, Main House + Guest House, Private Pool, Game Room!

Commanders Palace -

What is an essential feature for your next beach vacation? A beach palace fit for a king! Fortunately, Commanders Palace is just the thing. This beach-view property is located in Destin’s prestigious Crystal Beach community. Situated across from white sand dunes, the property offers amazing views of the glittering shores and emerald-green waves that are so iconic to the Emerald Coast. The property includes a main, three-level home and an opulent guest house. A private pool and sundeck connect the two spaces. With a total of 10 bedrooms between the main home and guest house, it can accommodate up to 32 Destin beachgoers. This is the perfect retreat for any large gathering, from a fun family reunion to a getaway with multiple families or friends!

On the first floor of the main house, you will find an open great room with an eclectic, coastal flair. Tile floors, beachy décor, blue accents, and shiplap walls add to the beach vibe. The living room features a contemporary couch and matching loveseat centered around a rustic-blue, glass-topped coffee table. An adjacent seating ensemble is made up of four chairs and a deep-blue ottoman. Both setups can enjoy cinematic entertainment provided by the flatscreen TV mounted above the fireplace (non-operational). The adjacent dining area includes a glass-topped table with seating for twelve. Eight stools provide additional seating at the angled kitchen bar. The open kitchen is well-equipped for cooking and serving your go-to vacation dishes. It boasts an island, expansive granite counters, spacious cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a chic tiled backsplash.

In addition to this fabulous gathering space, the first floor includes two guest bedrooms. One of these is a charming king-size bedroom with an ensuite bath, as well as a set of glass doors that open onto the pool deck. The other bedroom is a bunk room, featuring two twin-over-queen bunks, TV, and access to a hall bath that doubles as a convenient powder room.

You will find three more bedrooms on the second floor, including the incredible primary suite. This swank bedroom boasts cool beach tones that really set a relaxed vibe. It has a king-size bed, teal sofa, wall-mounted TV, and mini fridge. Its ensuite bath features a double vanity, a huge soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. The bedroom also has its own private balcony that faces the beach right across the street—perfect for a romantic evening with your person sipping cocktails and watching a beautiful sunset. One of the guest bedrooms on this level includes a king size bed, while the other has two twin-over-full bunks and one twin bunk. Both bedrooms have ensuite baths.

The third floor is dedicated to a game room and three guest bedrooms. The game room is a great place to relax and hang out with your fellow vacationers. It has a pool table, wet bar and wine cooler, raised table for cards or board games, and plush seating facing an oversized entertainment center and TV. A set of doors accesses a furnished balcony with great beach views. Each of the bedrooms on this level have their own king-size beds, private baths, and balcony access.

Of course, that’s not all! The lovely guest house provides extra comfort for its guests. The open great room features a cozy living area with a wraparound couch and TV. This sits beside a glass-topped dining table with seating for six. The spacious kitchen has handsome dark cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and sleek countertops. Its second-floor layout means the great room’s glass doors lead to a veranda overlooking the pool area. A king-size guest bedroom and a second bunkroom with two twin bunks provide sleeping accommodations for six more.

When you’re not basking in the indoor luxury, head out to the amazing private pool area to take a freshwater dip, sunbathe, and have fun with your people! The lagoon-shaped pool is surrounded by a paver patio and several lounge chairs. There is also a grilling station, sink, and patio furniture that make it easy to BBQ a delicious meal and dine outdoors.

Besides the amazing onsite accommodations, this property ensures guests are close to everything they need for a great beach vacation. The beach is just across the street, putting it less than a two-minute walk from your doorstep. Other nearby conveniences include restaurants, shops, and the Destin Commons retail and entertainment hub. If you’re looking for the dream retreat, this is your sign to book a stay at Commanders Palace!

Family Vacation

Our entire family visited the Destin area and this home was everything we could imagine. The location was perfectly situated near anything you could want. A few minor things could be replaced but all in all it was perfect for our stay.
