About this property
Stunning views of Destin harbor, PRIVATE BOAT SLIP, walk to beach. Crab Island!
This is the island life you've been looking for. Three bedroom, 2 1/2 bath townhome located directly on the Destin harbor in Holiday Isle.
A private boat slip is available for your use during your stay, so bring your own boat or plan to rent from one the many local rental companies. There are also many fishing charters, dolphin cruises, sunset cruises, and tiki boat cruises to choose from.
For your convenience there is a water taxi that can pick you up right off the dock at the property to take you across the harbor to many of the restaurants and attractions that Destin is known for.
Harbor Haven has a beautiful view of the harbor and Destin bridge & even has a small sandy beach. There is an open floor plan for the living room, kitchen, dining area, and half bath on the first two floors. Two bedrooms on the next floor share a large bathroom and have king size beds and smart tv's mounted on the wall.
The entire lower level is the Master suite with a private bath, seating area, full size washer and dryer and lots of space to spread out. Glass doors lead from the Master suite onto the patio making it easy to slip out there for morning coffee or to enjoy the sunrise if you wake early enough. If you want a lazy morning, you can open the blinds and enjoy the water view from bed!
Harbor Haven is located in Holiday Isle, which Is a serene oasis in the middle of Destin, with 2 and a half miles of paved trails for walking and biking, surrounded by quiet neighborhoods perfect for exploring on a bike. You'll feel like you're away from it all, when actually you're only minutes away from restaurants, shopping, marinas, fishing, golf, and local amusements, such as Big Kahuna Waterpark.
An easy walk along the beach will take you to the jetties and the Destin Pass, where the Gulf of Mexico and Destin Harbor meet, a spot well-known for great snorkeling and fishing. Here you can also watch boats going out deep sea fishing and returning from gulf to harbor.
Close by is Destin Commons, which features over 75 shops, restaurants and AMC Movie Theaters.
If you can tear yourself away from the beautiful harbor view, it's only a short 2 blocks to the public O'Steen beach access.
Harbor Haven is convenient to the shops, bars and restaurants in Harborwalk Village, Crab Island, Big Kahuna waterpark, grocery stores, shopping and delicious restaurants and many other amenities that Destin has to offer.
There is an impressive fireworks display every Thursday night in the spring and summer season, and you have the best seat in the area to watch from the deck or patio. Dolphin cruises are fun or you may see dolphins in the afternoon and evening from your own chair right here at Harbor Haven!
There is a full kitchen with all the amenities for cooking meals at home to enjoy on the outdoor deck overlooking the water while seated at the Polywood dining table that seats 6 and has a large umbrella for shade. There is also a Weber charcoal grill for cooking your favorite foods while taking in the breathtaking harbor views.

About the host
Hosted by Christie Croes Derrick

We have managed our family owned rental properties since 2008. We currently own 2 properties in Seaside and Seagrove on 30A that we have rented for over 10 years, and have recently put this Destin harbor property on the rental market.
We view these places as more than investments - we vacation in them frequently with our family and friends and just like we want everything to be safe and enjoyable when we are using them, we also want our rental guests to have a wonderful vacation as well!
While my husband and I are staying in our properties, we are constantly working to make improvements, upgrades, replacements, deep cleaning and repairs so that everything will hopefully be perfect for each of our guests.
Let us help you plan a special memory making Destin vacation for you and your guests!

Why they chose this property
The water views on the harbor are stunning day and night. If you are a boater or enjoy fishing, you can't beat this spot where you have a private boat slip for your use or just fish right off the dock.
The fireworks show on Thursday nights & holidays is impressive and no need to go any further than the porch or patio to have the best view around.
You truly have the best of all worlds here because you have access and views of the beautiful harbor and can also walk to the beach access in 3 minutes.

What makes this property unique
If you want to bring your own boat on vacation, there's no need to search for a place to launch and store it each night because you can use the private boat slip right off the back patio. If you don't own or want to bring your boat, rent one and keep it overnight at the boat slip.
On days you want some beach time instead of boating, you can walk 3 minutes on the sidewalk to the public beach access.
