About this property

Newly renovated! Heated Pool - 2 blocks from the beach!

Beachbum's Bungalow captures the essence of a perfect beach getaway. The entire home has been repainted inside and out with calming colors that reflect its coastal charm. As soon as you step through the front door, you’ll feel at ease with the open floor plan. The inviting living room, completely renovated with new flooring and all-new furniture, includes a large flat-screen TV for cozy nights in. The dining area, highlighted by a beautiful bay window, opens up to the fully-equipped kitchen, featuring brand-new stainless steel appliances. Whether you’re cooking up a feast or just grilling on the gas BBQ off the back porch, you’ll have everything you need for home-cooked meals. Plus, the stackable washer and dryer right off the kitchen make keeping beach towels fresh a breeze! How about enjoying a cool glass of lemonade while relaxing on one of the covered front or back porches, watching the sunset?

Beachbum’s Bungalow stands out with its thoughtful split floor plan. The master bedroom offers its own private entrance to the covered back patio, as well as an HD flat-screen TV for your entertainment. Unwind after a long day in the spacious master bathroom with a separate tub and shower, double vanity, and walk-in closet. On the other side of the house, you’ll find more space for guests. The second bedroom features a comfortable Queen bed and HD flat-screen TV, while the third bedroom also includes a Queen bed and access to the back porch, along with its own TV for winding down.

To top it all off, the property is located right across the street from the community pool for easy access. After a refreshing swim, it’s just a short stroll down the street to the stunning Emerald Coast Beaches.

Great Location, Easy access to Beach

This 3 Bed, 2 Bath condo is a fantastic choice for a Destin getaway, earning a strong 4.5-star rating. The location is unbeatable, with a short walk to the beach, restaurants, and shopping, plus a quick drive to attractions and groceries. The property itself is charming and comfortable, but a bit of basic maintenance on door handles, locks, and addressing carpenter bees out front would make it a 5. Despite these minor issues, it's a wonderful spot for a beach vacation. Highly recommend for anyone looking for convenience and a great stay in Destin.

Beautiful home with a short walk to the beach

This home was beautiful and the host was very helpful. My only recommendation would be a little deep cleaning during the off season.

Nice beach house.

This house is exactly as described. Very easy walk to the beach. Will recommend and will likely stay again. There were issues with an ice maker that was quickly addressed with a call to management. I suggest verifying such things are in working order if they are a priority (ex: Gas Grill or Sofa bed).

Family Fun

The cottage is cute and just a short walk to a nice public beach access. It was sparsely furnished with kitchen utensils so if you plan to cook while there you might want to take what you need. When we reached out to the owners that the grill didn’t work they responded quickly and within a day had a brand new grill in place. All in all the cottage was as described and our stay was enjoyable.

Great house/ Great location

We really enjoyed staying at this house, very cute house with front and back porches, it is clean, plenty of room for the 4 of us and loved that we were able to bring our dog with us! The house is right across the street from the neighborhood pool which was very convenient, the beach is a quick walk a few streets up from the house, we rented bikes from rent gear here.com and they were delivered and picked up, everything we needed was a quick bike ride away. Close to restaurants, grocery, shops, we would rent again.

Beach bum bungalow

The house is nice and big! It is a little dated but was clean when we arrived. There was a very limited amount of cookware in the kitchen and not enough bath towels for 6 people. Loved being able to take our fur babies instead of boarding them for a week!

Great Experience

This was our first trip to Florida as a family and this house was absolutely great! The pool is located almost directly across the street and the beach was just a short few blocks away. We walked to the beach every day and it was a very nice walk. The house had everything that we needed including a grill and washer and dryer. The wifi wasn't working the first day we were there and I emailed the property and they emailed us back almost immediately and told us how to fix it and offered to come help if it didn't work. We were completely happy and can't wait to come back and stay again!

Needs Renovated

My family members all complained about the hard beds and uncomfortable couches. I would suggest at the very least, get rid of all the plastic artificial plants and clutter decor as it just collects dust and isn’t clean. The house could be easily renovated with little money as it’s no longer the 1980’s.

Linens

Pillow case zipped covers and pillows in closets were not clean. Pillows in closet smelled. Two Pillows on bed had stains, appeared to be blood stains. The legs on queen bed were not straight. There was cardboard under mattresses in twin bunkbeds!? King bed mattress obviously old. Dipped in the middle. For the price I would have thought the beds would be more . Had maintenance fix a toilet that was rocking when sat on and shower handle was very loose.

Property was not clean

We experienced having roaches. The grill was absolutely disgusting. The bed sheets weren’t washed from the previous people. Found toenail clippings, fake lashes, food crumbs still on the bed. Trash was under the beds and coffee table. The bushes out front had trash in them. Getting in the front door was a hassle anytime we needed to. Wasn’t convenient to get to the beach.

Great location but few issues with the house

Great location but the house house itself has issues. We had a bug problem (ants and cockroaches). The property manager responded right away when I I emailed them about it. Under the kitchen sink there was a leak and the lights in master bath were flickering. The outside of the house needs a little updating as well. Hopefully they get the issues fixed because it’s in the perfect location and the management/owner are friendly and helpful. Not sure we will stay in this rental again but we will definitely stay in this neighborhood again..

Family vacation

The house itself was good I enjoyed the extra towels and blankets. The kitchen was stocked well. The pool was located across the street. Ceiling fans in every room. The ice cream man came every day However the code to get in was crazy long and hard to remember after a long day at beach when your phone is dead We just started to leave back door unlocked i. The walk to the beach is not close it is very long with beach chairs and a 5 year old about 20 min walk. The beach is very crowded. The internet is super slow and we just turned our data back on. The driveway doesn't hold 2 cars.. one car has to be sideways and half in the yard. You are not allowed to turn AC below 71 or you will be charged extra. And of course there were the roaches , I did let property manager know and they sent pest control. I would not stay in this house again
