About this property

Emerald Coast Destin, Private Beach, Chateau La Mer 9A!

Free Activities Seasonal Fun Pass! Affordable, Pet-friendly (plus pet fee), 2-bed, 2-bath, Chateau La Mer truly lives up to its name–"By the Sea," only steps to Destin's famed crystal beach and emerald surf

This first-floor condo in the sought-after Chateau La Mer community is just steps from the sugar-white sands and clear blue-green waters that keep visitors coming back to Destin year after year. Drop your bags, head across the street, and sink your toes into the surf before wandering along the shoreline. Enjoy incredible Gulf views from the beachfront patio at Captain Dave's while sipping a cold drink and snacking on oysters, shrimp, or crab—feel the stress melt away with the sea breeze.

Rest easy in the master bedroom's king bed, two double beds in the second bedroom, or the queen sleeper sofa in the open-concept living area, perfect for extra guests or kids. A bonus sunroom offers a cozy retreat, and the well-equipped kitchen, complete with breakfast bar and stacked washer and dryer, makes your stay even more convenient.

Pet-friendly and welcoming, Chateau La Mer offers grassy areas, sidewalks, and stunning beach walks for you and your furry friend.
