Experience Your Vacation Haven
This spacious two story property is as delightful as its quirky name – Hook Wine and Sinker! Located in fashionable Crystal Beach, this family vacation home is designed after a traditional Southern residence. So, you’ll be tempted to linger longer on the spacious wraparound porch. But once you step inside, deeply exhale as worries evaporate, and the vacation begins in this light, airy coastal dwelling.
Windows, strategically placed, allow for beautiful vistas to let the sunshine in as you enjoy the pleasures of the Gulf of Mexico, just steps away at the Barracuda Street access located only a couple of blocks down at the end of Barracuda Street, or for complimentary beach chair set up head over to the beach at the Crab Trap and receive set up of four chairs and two umbrellas each day during your stay (March through October)!
There’s plenty of seating throughout the house, both inside and out, for a crowd to share stories of their daily adventures. Meals can be served in the roomy dining area that seats ten or on the relaxing, ample screened porch. The kitchen is outfitted with gourmet appliances any chef would covet!
There are various options for sleeping choices in this 4 bedroom, 3 bath home, with privacy for everyone, allowing for days of getting more restful sleep. A step-in shower and soaking tub in the master suite allow you the luxury of completely unwinding at the end of an exhilarating day.
Privacy is ensured within a fenced, shady backyard that holds some delightful surprises! Around the fire pit, fishing buddies can tell stories of “the one that got away” or use the gas grill to enjoy what was actually caught. Likewise, the secluded, lit gazebo would allow for rousing card games. Plus, this cozy yet expansive entertainment area allows families to oversee the preparation of s’mores for the kids. At the same time, the efficient exercise pool is close enough for parents to sit on the porch to un-wine, while keeping an eye on all the multiple activities being enjoyed.
Several families could enjoy vacationing together as the adjoining property, The Hideaway, can be rented simultaneously (upon availability), allowing up to 19 people to gather.
The vacation would not be complete without visiting nearby Miramar Beach and Destin. Seemingly limitless sporting options and fine dining await. Then, to enjoy a bit of local color, take a drive down Scenic 30A. Your daily excursions are only limited by your imagination!

We had a great stay! The house had all the accommodations we needed and our kids loved the bunk beds. It was great to have the pool for quick swims when we didn't want to make the walk to the beach.
It was great! Everything was beautiful and clean. There was plenty of space. It felt like home. The heated pool, chairs and umbrellas and games provided were very nice.

House was beautiful and clean. Check in and out was very easy. Pool is very small, looks bigger in pictures. Easy walk to the beach. Overall good stay.
This property was exactly as the pictures showed. It was perfect for our family. While we did get a surprise when we could not use the beach that was a 5 minute walk from the house the beach chairs available at The Crab Trap were perfect!!

Happy to hear the home was just what you expected and worked perfectly for your family! Sorry about the surprise with the nearby beach, but glad the Crab Trap setup worked out well for you.
We had a great time at the beach house! It had close proximity to the beach and restaurants. Communication throughout the process and even during our stay was excellent!

The home itself was absolutely beautiful, clean, and overall comfortable. The location is excellent; while not on a busy road, the home is extremely close to all of the beautiful beaches. We were very happy with our stay, and there is no complaints at all. The hosts are excellent.

Very nice. The only issue was the mold on the ceiling in the master bathroom. That needs to be addressed.
Far enough away from both the beach and the main road to make it nice and quiet, but close enough to make it an easily accessible getaway location. The pool was a nice way to finish off each day.

Thanks for the review and feedback! We love the pool also! We are thrilled you had such a wonderful vacation experience and look forward to hosting you again in the future.
And our family of 10 just enjoyed a four day stay at this property. The house is full of amenities- beautifully decorated, fully stocked, kitchen, front porch seating, back porch seating, Cabana/grill, private, swimming, pool, spacious backyard, corn hole area n more. I love that we could spread out to different areas if you want it quiet to sit and read.
A short 2 block walk to the beach made it easy to come n go as you wish for the most part. Owners were very thorough in their communication.
Lovely property- would highly recommend and would definitely return.

Reviewer Comments:
This place was amazing! Easy check in (entry code was sent 2 hours prior to check in), the house was beautifully decorated, supplies were thoughtful (we only needed to purchase extra consumable items), and the house was very clean. The pool was fabulous and as pictured, there was plenty of outdoor seating. We loved relaxing on the back porch. They also provided 4 chairs and 2 umbrellas at the Crab Trap (which had plenty of parking, a bathhouse and a restaurant). This was a little farther than the beach entry at the end of the road but was absolutely worth the very small drive. We were able to pay a small fee each day to have our seats reserved (this was only really necessary on Labor Day). The management company was very responsive when we reached out to them. We would definitely recommend this home and plan to stay again!

We stayed at this beautiful house for recent girls’ trip. It was in a great location and has a perfect layout. I would definitely recommend it. It had everything we needed. We did get a little confused about where the beach chairs/umbrellas were located but a quick call to the rental company cleared it up. Vacation Haven was awesome to work with and we would definitely do it all again!

The house was spacious and beautiful! The pool is a little small but my kids are young so it was fine. Plenty of space in the backyard to hang out and the screened in porch area is very nice.

A few maintenance issues but they were VERY prompt and responsive about fixing them. 10/10 recommend!
