About this property
ACROSS Str. BEACH! Golf Cart+CHILL PILL+PrivPool+6 King suites+Free Chair Srvc 6
NOTE effective March 1, 2026, your stay will include a golf cart. LOCATION: we are directly across the street from beach in CRYSTAL BEACH (not Miramar per VRBO), between Camille's and The Inn@Crystal Beach.
Welcome to CHILL PILL DESTIN, by VacationsByDana. I am the owner (Dana Tanner Flynn) and we manage this house with care - see the perfect reviews! **See our other large house in same area, 4 blocks from Chill Pill - called "Blue Barracuda Destin" (92 Barracuda Street).
Just what the doctor ordered - take your "Chill Pill"! Slow down, and get some R&R with family and friends. Walk across the street to our free chair service for 6 on the beach. Shoot a game of pool or challenge your teens at the shuffleboard table for some quality time in our spacious living room that never feels crowded. Take a dip in our heated private pool and walk to Camille's coffee shop or restaurants, or jot around in the golf cart (effective March 1, 2026), Destin Commons just a few blocks - has 85+ restaurants/shops incl Bass Pro Shop, movies, bowling at Uncle Bucks, ice cream, etc.
*Chill Pill sleeps 24 in beds but MAX 12 adults >>> only 12 & under in bunks. We provide a LONG list of beach supplies worth thousands $ for the week including FREE CHAIR SERVICE for 6 from March 1-Oct 31, a kayak and stand-up-paddleboard (SUP), rolling coolers and beach carts, appx 12 beach towels, etc. You'll love our spacious and fully-outfitted kitchen with all the gadgets, a second fridge in laundry room, and DOUBLE washer/dryers.
You can't match this layout for large groups. Six KING suites (one is on first floor) each have their OWN private bathroom, plus a large bunk room with its own lounge area and also a private bathroom. No sharing bathrooms, and great flow in the 43 X 17 living area! Kids LOVE the bunk room and the adults love the kids having their own bunk room (wink wink). *Only 12 & under in twin bunks*
*LOCATION*: directly across street from beach with partial views from 2nd and 3rd floors, and 150 steps to Hutchinson St Beach access where our chair service is. Our beach access has bathrooms, showers/foot rinse, and wheelchair ramp.
*WE PROVIDE*:
++ free CHAIR SERVICE for 6 at water's edge (March thru Oct) with room behind you for remainder of your group to set up! That's 6 chairs and 3 umbrellas and the attendant to help you.
++ 6 more folding sand chairs in shed
++ GOLF CART effective March 1, 2026
++ a SUP (stand-up-paddleboard), and a kayak
++ a rolling beach cart and 3 rolling coolers
++ appx 12 beach towels
++ tons of pool/beach toys in our pool shed including sand toys, boogie boards, frisbees, floats, etc.
++ outdoor hot water yard shower by the pool for quick showering of your little ones
LOCATION: Just a half-mile to Destin Commons, walk to all the restaurants, half-block from Camille's and Staci's (inside the Inn at Crystal Beach).
*HOUSE SPECS*:
++ Spacious KITCHEN has everything you'll need. 2 coffee makers (incl Keurig), 2 crock pots, second fridge in laundry room for sodas/beers/waters, all the gadgets and 9 X 5 center island with bar stools and convenient work space.
++ Gas cooktop, built-in ice maker under counter, trash compactor, even basic spices.
++ sleeps 24 IN BEDS (no sleeper sofas) and NO SHARING BATHROOMS. All 6 suites have a King and private attached bathroom. MAX of 12 adults is firm, no adults in bunks, only 12 & under in bunks.
++ 2 of the 6 King suites also have a set of twin bunks in case your little ones aren't ready to sleep with the "big kids" in the 3rd floor bunk room.
++ 3rd floor "crow's nest" is 450 sq ft bunk room and has 4 sets built-in bunks, its own attached bathroom, and its own 3 leather couch lounge area and 65" TV to entertain the kids.
++ All bathrooms are walk-in tiled showers except the 2 "family" bedrooms which have a tub/shower combo to bathe the little ones.
++ Fast wi-fi, SONOS speaker system including one for pool area, Cubie Blue bluetooth speaker with USB charging portals next to each King bed. All rooms have 4K wi-fi TVs, plus 2 in living room (one on couch end and one by pool table). 9 total TVs in this house.

++ 15 X 25 pool has tanning shelf; gas grill by pool.
++ Laundry has DOUBLE washer/dryers, so crucial when you have a big crowd!
++ Keyless entry system. Enter your chosen code and never carry a key.
++ High-end mattresses and 650-thread count linens; clean-lines coverlets.
++ Wood-look tile and LVP flooring that is much cleaner than carpets which get inundated with salt and sand (minimal area rugs as needed).
*NOTES*:
++ pool heat is $35/day and is optional and at our discretion from Oct to April. We can keep pool around 88 degrees in winter unless there is an extreme cold snap.
++ We have parking for a MAX of 6 vehicles per the City of Destin. Not one inch of your vehicle can extend over sidewalk or you will be fined, so plan vehicles accordingly. NO street parking, NO boats/ jet skis/ trailers of any type. They HOA is quick to write tickets/fines for any breach of neighborhood rules.
++ this is a neighborhood with some full-time residents. We do not host party groups, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and weddings and other events are not allowed. It's a family-friendly area. Please keep that in mind when deciding if this is a good fit for you.
++ CAMERA NOTE: There is a ring-style doorbell camera pointed out from front door. This allows us to monitor parking, putting out and retrieving trash bins, and protecting our property in the off-season. There are no other cameras. ***.

About the host
Hosted by Dana Flynn
One of five vacation homes we are sharing with travelers - From VacationsByDana or ChilPillDestin! Born and raised in Pensacola, it's unbearable to not be by the Gulf with sandy toes and those crystal clear emerald waters. We love to boat and walk the beach and my family mocks me for my obsession with beach sunsets, ha! I personally own and manage all my homes -- (no management company) and you'll receive my personal attention when you have questions or a need arises while at the house. We have over 800 five star reviews between all our listings. See our other homes at:
