Experience Your Vacation Haven
If you’re looking for a pet-friendly beach house on the Gulf, don’t settle for less. Come home to Pura Vida in the Paradise Retreat community and enjoy a 6-seat golf cart, private pool, foosball table, and driveway. This newly remodeled, 1-floor beach home has 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and is located a few blocks away from the sugar-white sands of Miramar Beach. The main living area features an open concept floor plan with comfortable living room, dining area, and spacious eat-in kitchen with breakfast bar and stainless steel appliances. Whether you love to cook on vacation or simply need a place for morning coffee, you’ll find everything you need in this fully stocked space. You also have the option of heading outside to your fenced-in backyard where you can grill up a stellar lunch or dinner while your guests enjoy the pool and loungers, or prepare a meal inside while the family plays on one of the many provided board games. This is the perfect vacation home for large families and friend groups looking to enjoy some quality time in Destin.
After a restful sleep, get ready for the day and head to the garage where you’ll find everything from chairs to beach toys and a 6-seat golf cart to make beach trips a breeze. Pack up your group and scoot over to your private, gated beach access for a sunny day on the pristine shoreline. From here, make your way to one of the many local food spots for lunch or get out of the sun and into one of the outlet malls in the area. With everything Destin has to offer just outside your door, you’ll never run out of things to do! From shopping at the Destin Commons, the largest water park on the Emerald Coast, views and boating at the Destin Harbor, and seafood on every corner, you’ll find fun for everyone in your group.
When the sun goes down, head back to the house and get cozy in 1 of the 4 bedrooms. The master features a spacious bedroom with king bed and flat screen TV, along with an en suite that’s equipped with a walk-in shower and separate soaker tub. Your guests can use the hall bath with tub/shower combo to start and end each day.
