Walk or ride bikes to several nearby restaurants, ice cream store or a winery!

New for 2025! New Cafe refrigerator in main kitchen. New grill moved to the top balcony. New garage door openers.
New for 2024! A 6-burner gas range with two electric ovens on the main floor, new microwave on the main floor, new dishwasher on the main floor, and new extra-large dryer on the main floor. We put the electric cooktop and built-in oven in the beach level suite, added a new full-size refrigerator to the beach level, and two new Beautyrest queen size mattresses on the beach level.
New for 2023! Two new air conditioning units, a 10-person spa on the beachfront deck, we converted the jack/jill bathroom on middle level to two separate bathrooms with walk-in showers. New vinyl floors in the bedrooms. We also added a computer and a karaoke machine for our guests to use.
Sleeping Arrangements:
Three-Floor Home
Beach Level (basement) | 2 queen beds and one twin daybed with a twin trundle.
1st Floor | Two bedrooms each with a king bed, living area/bunkbed room with two full size bunk beds with twin trundles, and a fold-out sofa.
2nd Floor | Primary bedroom with king bed, and a guest bedroom with two queen beds.
The top floor is the main floor. It features 10ft ceilings and travertine floors, a kitchen with granite counters, a living area with leather sofas and wet bar, a dining area which seats 10, the primary bedroom with a king bed and full bath, a guest bedroom with 2 queen beds and a full bath, and a laundry room. The primary bedroom and living area share a large balcony with stunning views. The guest bedroom has a view of the ocean from a side window.
The middle level has a living area with picturesque views of the ocean, a fold out sofa, two full size bunk beds with twin trundles, and a convenient kitchenette which is perfect for coffee, snacks, and drinks without having to go upstairs. One bedroom overlooks the ocean, has a king size bed, and sliding doors to the balcony and an adjoining full bathroom with a walk-in shower. The secondary bedroom also has a king bed with a view of the ocean from a side window. This bedroom also has an adjoining bathroom with a walk-in shower that opens up to the living area as well.
The beach level is separate from the rest of the home and has amazing views throughout. It has a large kitchen, living area, two queen murphy beds, and a twin daybed with a twin trundle. The bathroom has double sinks and a walk-in shower.
The beach level deck is very large and has a beach walkover for easy access to the ocean. The home sits closer to the water than the homes around it making it perfect for watching breathtaking sunsets.
A 10-person spa, propane grill, and a deck box filled with sand toys are located on the beachfront deck.
The bottom level has a walk-in closet with a beach cart, beach umbrellas, beach chairs, beach towels, boogie boards, floats, life jackets, and paddles for the kayak.
We offer free beach service from March-October. Four chairs and two umbrellas will be set up Sun-Friday from before 9am-5pm.

About the host
Hosted by Rebekah Loos
My husband and I have 3 boys and live in TX. We love visiting Destin's soft white sandy beaches and clear water, boating, jet skiing, and exploring the state parks.
Why they chose this property
The water and beach is the most beautiful in the US and even better than some Caribbean destinations. No water shoes required, safe environment, short flights, and access to healthcare if needed are just a few of the reasons we chose Destin. The house is clean, updated, and has amazing views. The location is perfect! There is a guarded community on one side and an empty lot on the other so not a lot of crowds. We are not in a HOA or neighborhood and we own the beach all the way to the wet sand so our beach is private and only our guests are allowed on it. Several restaurants within walking distance, and premium outlet mall is a few miles away.
