About this property

5⭐️ Destin Retreat 2 Houses + Loft Heated Pool🌞Bikes🌞Golf Cart 🏝️Beachside🏝️2 Kings

*Summer 24 is set for 7 night stays Friday to Friday…beat the crowds and traffic on Saturdays!!
Walk into the private gates of our beautifully landscaped house and you will feel as if you are staying in your own compound. This is no doubt the most unique set up in all of Crystal Beach. The 75ft x 150ft oversized lot allows plenty of parking. The courtyard/pool area is totally enclosed creating a sense of privacy while actually being in the center of everything.

This property was purchased by new owners (Nov 2020) and has had plenty of upgrades and refinements since purchased! From technology to new luxury furniture and decor, you will not be disappointed. Our guests are in awe the second they walk into the homes featuring 11 different cheerful room colors.

POOL:The pool is 5 ½ ft deep (3ft at shallow end) and has been converted to a salt water. Not to confuse this with water in the gulf. It simply takes salt and converts it to chlorine making it feel silky and smooth. Approx. size is 12’x20’

Enjoy the gulf breeze in a 6 seater Street Legal Golf Cart. No hassle with going to pick it up. It’ll be here waiting on you when you arrive. Included complementary with your stay. Min 3-night rental off season and 7-night minimum June/July.

Amazing Stay
One of the things that sticks out the most with this property is that we had rough weather for part of our trip but the layout and amenities made it our savior for enjoying the trip no matter what! With multiple units we had space to gather but also separate. There was an amazing sliding door in the main house that opened a whole wall for perfect indoor/outdoor living. The golf cart was AMAZING but also we realized this place is so close to the beach we could easily walk as well! The rooms were clean, great kitchens, comfortable beds, plenty of towels, entertainment in the garage, more than enough beach gear, the list goes on and on. Most impressive was the owner communication! I don’t think I had more than a few minutes wait for any of my questions. Incredible response time and we definitely felt the love from the owner. Could not recommend this place more and next time we hit Destin this is where we are staying without a doubt. Thank you for the amazing stay!

LOVED this property!
Our family LOVED this property! It doesn't sound right to call it a house because there were 3 buildings available for our use. Our adult children stayed in the guest house, the teenager stayed in the room over the garage, and the main house was for mom and dad and the littles - PERFECT for our family. No drama, just relaxing!!! We loved the set up of everything - the location to the beach was also perfect. We had the golf cart but ended up walking almost everywhere because it was just that close! The owner thought of everything. We actually brought a bunch of things she already provided - now we know better for next time! We can't wait to book for next year - just waiting on the kids' school calendar!

Perfect accommodation and location
This was the perfect stay for our four families. With main house, guest house and loft there was plenty of space to hang together and also additional privacy for each family. Location was perfect as it was just a short walk to beach or restaurants and stores and if you didn’t want to walk, the golf cart was available for use. Owner was very responsive and open to questions and requests. This is a must stay place if you plan to visit Destin and want the ability to lay by the pool, hang at beach and visit all the area has to offer.

AMAZING stay
I booked this for our family of adult children and their wives to come together. It was absolutely perfect. The pictures in the listing are exactly what the house looks like. Everything was perfect and the property manager was wonder in reminding us of trash nights and what not. The pool is awesome, very clean. We had it heated and used it into the evening. Very close to a perfect vacation!

Our family purchased this home in 2020 as the Pandemic sent us looking for a drivable destination to spend family time from our home in Parker (DFW area), TX. This unique property has the perfect layout for our large family to spread out and yet be together!

We absolutely love the Emerald Coast and the location of this home. We checked all the boxes for our dream beach home with this one. From the private heatable pool to the close prximity to the beach, stores, and restaurants, Gigi's Sunshine met our every expectation. We hope you enjoy the home and area with your friends and/or family as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

2 separate homes with primary bedrooms. Plus a separate loft for the teens! Generous parking space. Complementary Golf Cart. Heated Pool and Pet (Dog) Friendly.
