About this property

4BR Renovated Coastal Cottage with Lake Views + 3 Decks | Palmetto Cottage

This recently renovated home with a one-minute walk to the beach is located in the private and prestigious neighborhood of Destin Pointe. Come experience a coastal getaway like no other and enjoy stunning Gulf and East Point views and sunsets from any of the three expansive and furnished decks.

Spread out in any of our four cozy bedrooms, each including private outdoor spaces and baths. (except for the bunk room). The primary suite features a king bed, walk-in closet, a private bathroom, and a large walk-in shower with double vanity. The second and third bedrooms feature king and double beds, both with smart TVs, generous closet space, and private decks. The fourth bedroom is a wonderful space for children, with a charming twin-over-queen bunk bed and an extra twin rollaway bed, smart TVs in each bunk, and a third larger TV for gaming. You will also find a queen blow-up mattress for extra sleeping space within the home.

Our well-equipped and modern kitchen offers plenty of space for entertaining and preparing a home-cooked meal after a day of adventure. Some helpful kitchen gadgets include a food processor, Crock-Pots, a French press, a coffee bean grinder, a Keurig machine, and a large wine/beverage fridge. Kick back and reminisce about the day in the family room, offering beautiful Gulf views along with a 65-inch smart TV for movie nights.

There will be no lack of fun to be had when everyone heads out to the beach for the day, as our guests will have access to ten beach chairs, two small umbrellas, a large ice chest with wheels, boogie boards, noodles, two double kayaks, four stand-up paddle-boards (two hard shell and two inflatable), multiple life vests for kids and adults, two beach carts with super-wide wheels, tons of sand toys, and beach games! And for indoor fun - lots of family board games, cards, poker chips, and puzzles!

WHAT’S NEARBY:
Located just west of the heart of downtown Destin, this home is situated in a quiet, kid-friendly, private neighborhood offering a peaceful stay while still being close to all of the action. Ride your bike (provided) to the water taxi dock and leave the car at home to tour all the action at HarborWalk Village by water taxi! Big Kahuna's Water & Adventure Park and The Track are both within 10 minutes from home. If you don't feel like making an elaborate meal for the whole group, it’s less than a 10-minute drive to Boshamps Seafood and Oyster House, AJ’s Seafood & Oyster Bar, or McGuire’s Irish Pub for some delectable cuisine! Not to mention, you can try your luck catching a big one while surf-casting from our private beach or go deep-sea fishing with a local skipper.

We had a wonderful time at Palmetto Cottage. The grandkids and their parents loved having access to the bicycles and kayaks and beach toys! It is a bit longer walk to the beach than listed in the description, but really wasn’t a problem for them- just for me with a bad knee. We loved the view on the back deck and loved staying in Destin Pointe Resort. Thank you!

Great View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The views from this location are great! Quiet views of the Gulf waters, fishing vessels, and the waterfowl on the pond. The house shows years of rental use, and the appliances were the cheapest possible replacements, but they sufficed. The included bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, and loads of passed-down beach toys were fantastic.
Response from VrboOwner on 25 July 2025
Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the peaceful views and all the extra amenities. We appreciate your feedback on the home and will be sure to pass it along. Hope to host you again soon!

Fun at the Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our experience at Palmetto Cottage was amazing! The house accommodated our group of 6 adults and 2 children. The kitchen was well supplied for all our cooking needs. The beach wagon was a blessing getting the children to the pools and beach. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. I would recommend the placement of a baby gate at the top of the stairs. The location of the house is very centrally located to all the pools and both beaches. Thank you.
Response from VrboOwner on 4 July 2026
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear you had an amazing stay at Palmetto Cottage and that the home worked well for your group. It’s great to know the kitchen was well stocked, the beach wagon made trips easier with the little ones, and that you enjoyed the clean, comfortable, and central location. We also really appreciate your thoughtful suggestion regarding a baby gate at the top of the stairs—feedback like that is very helpful as we continue to improve the guest experience. Thank you again for staying with us. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
