Experience Your Vacation Haven
Located a mere 2.5 blocks from the Emerald Coast, Big Tuna is a charming corner beach house that is full of stylish accents and luxurious finishing touches! It’s a perfect Destin beach cottage rental for families or mature friend groups. The home, which has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms sleeps 12.
Natural, coastal themes abound in this beautiful vacation rental cottage. A wood paneled accent wall in the living room sets of the space and makes for a great conversation piece. Wood accents are carried throughout the home along with soft blues and other soothing coastal hues. The full kitchen has everything you need for entertaining. There’s a dining space with an 8-seater table and there are 6 stools at the corner breakfast bar. Plenty of room for everyone and perfect for entertaining!
The first floor also has an oversized master bedroom with king bed and a luxurious en suite with a shower, garden tub, double vanity, and walk-in closet. An additional powder room is located on the first floor for everyone’s convenience.
The second floor has an additional living space with a futon that pulls into a sleeper bed. You can easily walk out of the covered balcony and enjoy the ample seating from this additional living area. The other three bedrooms afford luxury and privacy. The second master has a king bed and a full bath. The third guest room has a queen bed and porch access. The fourth bedroom is ideal for children with a full-over-full bunk and a twin-over-twin bunk and a baby bed.
You’ll love staying in this blissful “catch” of a beach house. Equally enjoyable is the Crystal Beach community pool, a stunning lagoon-style pool complete with hot tub, waterfall, and tiki lounge area.
