Golf Cart: Because local companies were charging our guests $165/day for golf carts we decided to do something about it. We went out and bought a fleet of golf carts for our houses (Harleman Vacation Rentals), and we now have them available for our guests to rent. The charge is between $300 and $495 per week (+taxes and processing), depending on time of year. The carts are all electric 6 seater Club Car Tempo with leather seats and a sound system. If you want to make sure one is available for your stay please inquire before booking.

An outdoor grill and bar is being installed in November for the 2024 season and it will feature a grill with a mini fridge a tv, a covered roof, and a front bar with seating for up to 6. Lounge at the bar and watch the game while the kids play in the pool and someone cooks you up a burger while you sip on a margarita.

The house is located in an incredible location. Walking distance to numerous restaurants, shopping, coffee shop and more. Directly in front of the house is a 5 mile strand/path that is great for walking, running, biking, and roller blading.

House layout:

The front home (main house) has the following layout:

-1st floor has the living room, kitchen and laundry. There is a king bedroom on the first floor with an ensuite bathroom. There is also a half bath that the living room/kitchen would use.
-2nd floor has a master bedroom with ensuite bathroom. There is also a king bedroom with ensuite bathroom. And A bunk room with two full bunk beds.

The guest house (pool house) has a queen bedroom and a king bedroom. There is also a hallway bathroom that the two bedrooms would use.

House comes with a wagon to take your items to the beach plus a beach umbrella and four beach chairs.

Beach Service: We also offer a discounted beach service. If you choose this option, vendors will set up two umbrellas and four chairs, Sunday-Friday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Many of our guests enjoy this amenity as it guarantees a reserved spot on the beach and does not require you to lug the umbrellas and chairs back and forth yourself. It is particularly nice during the summer months when the beaches can get quite crowded. This typically runs about $450 a week, through the vendor. But, because we have a contract with them we offer it to you for the steeply discounted rate of $225+ tax.

It is bordered on one side by Henderson State Park and on the other side by the Destiny neighborhoods. It is considered by many to be the vacation destination of choice in Destin. It is a family friendly, upscale area within walking distance of some of the best local restaurants, a coffee shop, deli, and spa.

Cancellation Policy: All reservations are final due to reservations for this area often being a year out. However, if you need to cancel we are very flexible. What we do is immediately put the reservation up for rent. If it is a peak time like summer or spring or fall break it should rent easy. We will refund you 100% of the amount the reservation books for.

Family vacation

This house and location were fantastic for our family trip. The short stroll to the white sand beach was fantastic for watching every sunrise and sunset. Renting the golf cart made trips to stores and restaurants so fun! Our hosts were responsive and made our stay perfect. We're definitely looking at options to rent from them again next year!

Perfect large group house

House was exactly what we needed for our big group of 5 families and our seniors. Great location with just a few minute walk to the beach. We also never really needed to leave on the bad weather days as there was so much to do in the backyard. The carriage house was the perfect companion to a beautiful main house. We had tons of room and each family has their own space when needed.

Me and my family try to go to Destin every year. We have stayed in many beach houses and this was by far are favorite house!! The backyard had so much to do as entertainment wise! The house was very clean. It is an amazing house to stay in for a family I loved every bit of it!! And when we need to contact the host it was no problem they answered fast and got the issue fixed!!

Fabulous Family Vacation in Destin!

We had a fabulous family vacation! Great location, close to the beach and many restaurants and shops. The house is exactly as described with the exception of the third refrigerator which wasn’t working. However the mini fridges in the outdoor bar and carriage house and two full size refrigerators in the kitchen were plenty for our crew of 13. The mini counter ice maker was great too. I highly recommend the golf cart, it was so much fun exploring the area via cart. It was also very helpful in getting the grandparents to the beach. We also added additional beach towels that made the laundry cycles much easier. We were able to add additional beach service sets to the reservation for the house and it was so nice to have our umbrellas and chairs all set up together on the beach. The hosts were exceptional and could not have been more accommodating and responsive! The only suggestions would be to replace the shower head in the carriage house (hard to keep water in tub) and add a couple smaller 2qt/3qt size pots for heating sauces, etc. All in it was a wonderful vacation. I would definitely recommend this house and rent again!PS …Get A Boat To Crab Island. It is amazing!!!

Overall, this house is fantastic. So close to the beach. Furniture appeared new and had all the amenities you could want. Pool was nice. The one time the pool clearner didn't come, the manager immediately remedied it. I would visit again!

Great family vacation spot

This property is convenient to everything we wanted to do! Easy check in with codes on doors. Loved that the handle to back yard/pool was raised so little ones can’t escape!! We added beach rental set up and well worth the money that our spot on the beach was reserved for us everyday. Pool towels were provided along with trash bags and dish/dishwasher soap. We had an A/C breakdown and someone was at the house within 20 minutes And fixed the problem!

Great family getaway!

This property was a great spot for our family to meet and spend the week. The weather was awesome, so we spent most of the time at the beach or enjoying the pool in the backyard. Close walking distance to the beach. I highly recommend the beach service that Michael offered. Chairs and umbrellas are set up at same location every day from 9 to 5. It’s maybe a 5 minute walk to the chairs! We traveled with one toddler so the wagon at the house was perfect for taking beach toys and coolers. I highly recommend this property!

Beautiful home

The house is beautiful supplied with plenty of bath linens. Owner and his local person, Miguel were very responsive to any and all inquiries. There was a broken chaise lounge that we set aside and was picked up . A few broken ping pong paddles, but we’re a a couple new ones too. But that was about the extent of the negatives

Absolutely stellar!

Michael was excellent at communicating from the week before and throughout our entire stay. Anything that we needed, they brought. I cannot stress this enough, this was an amazing property. We have stayed at a lot of places in Destin, but this was the best. A few days into the trip they even brought over a brand new basketball hoop that goes in the pool that had a backboard & pool basketball. We didn’t even ask for it and the kids had an absolute blast. The closet outside is filled with stuff to take to the beach including a beach wagon & 4 boogie boards (tons of other stuff). The beach was literally right across the street from the property. It took us less than five minutes to get there. All of the neighbors around us were really cool and it was just overall an awesome trip. Michael texted a few times throughout the week and made sure that we were having a great time. He said to make sure we reached out if we needed anything at all. We were all just so impressed. There were plenty of towels for everyone. There were 12 of us that stayed and there was plenty of room for even more. The pictures are exactly what it looked like too. I would give it more stars if I could! Thank you for a wonderful family vacation. The beach house out back was absolutely amazing too! Two nice size bedrooms out there with a full size bathroom & a kitchen set up out there too. I just couldn’t believe it all!!

Wonderful week

Our party was our four children, two spouses and four grandchildren under the age of five and stayed the third week of April. The owner, Michael, was very accommodating and allowed us to check in a bit early since our daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren's flight arrived before noon. The three fridges in the house were nice due to all the water/beverages we kept chilled although the main ice maker was on the blink. We purchased and kept several large bags of ice in the freezer and were fine. We did not use the bunk beds in the loft and imagine that area can get warm in the summer even though it has a window A/C. We heated the pool and took advantage of the beach chair service Michael offered. I would recommend this if you are a beach goer as you are guaranteed the same spot near the water each day. The chairs were a five minute walk or so from the house. The pool area was nice as there was always a shaded area if you were getting too much sun. We brought disposable cups/tableware for use outside around the pool and are glad we did as most of the glassware and dishes in the house are breakable. The house had plenty of bath towels, but had few kitchen or bath wash cloths. The washer and dryer was nice as we were able to keep our beach towels fresh. Overall a great week with the grandkids loving the pool and the firepit where we made S'Mores several evenings. Everyone agreed they would do this again in a heartbeat.
