Pelican Retreat by AvantStay | 5 MINS TO BEACH | Pet Friendly w/ Pool & BBQ!

Welcome to Pelican Retreat!

WHAT TO LOVE ABOUT THIS HOME:
- 5 Minute Walk to the beach!
- Private pool in the fenced backyard
- Outdoor dining area and grill
- Beautifully renovated interiors
- Pet Friendly
- Short Walk to Restaurant & Shopping

Welcome to Pelican Retreat, a quintessential beach house just one block from the beach! Located in famous Crystal Beach, this custom, completely renovated home is just a short and safe two-minute walk to the world-famous white sand beaches and emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico. It's perfect for your next family vacation!

The star of the show lies outside in the private fenced backyard with a gorgeous pool. Spend your days soaking up the sun, and cool off with a refreshing dip. Fire up the grill on the patio and dine alfresco under the trellis, where string lighting provides to perfect ambiance all day long.

Step inside to discover an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, creating the perfect space to gather. The kitchen boasts granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and everything you need to prepare home-cooked meals. Three bedrooms and two and a half baths complete the home.

You will fall in love with the Crystal Beach neighborhood of Destin, known for its white picket fences and upscale cottage-style homes. The area is convenient to an outdoor shopping mall, a movie theater, countless restaurants, and shops, water park, go carts, and several world class golf courses, but still maintains a quiet and family-friendly beach atmosphere. No high-rise condos are allowed in this unique area.
