Leap Of Faith-Near Gulf - Beach Set up - Contactless entry

The cottages in Clipper Cove are quaint reminders of days gone by with white picket fences, front porches, and bright decorative colors, with the entire community built on a cul-de-sac.

Soooooo much to see and do!: The beach walkover is 350 paces South and some of Destins' finest shopping is 350 paces North. Our home is in a perfect location, You will want to return year after year! Crystal Beach promotes cottages, rather then high rises, to capture the Old Florida Community feeling.
We suggest walking to the corner Bistro ( Camille's ), sit on the veranda, read the paper and enjoy a relaxing breakfast and cup of coffee while watching the morning joggers pass by. While at the beach, try one of their smoothies or return in the evening for some of the finest Sushi or seafood in Destin.

Time to relax as well!: After you have enjoyed the beaches, you can relax and enjoy the feeling of Key West abound in this neighborhood of white picket fences and pastel colored homes. Enjoy the large porch and relax after a fun day in the sun!

Perfectly located for enjoying shopping, dining and all of the Destin area attractions. Perfect for families or couples looking for a quiet beach retreat.

Fantastic location!

This home is located in a great location, was cute, and pretty clean. We loved the kitchen updates. We think there could be room for improvement on the cot. Property manager came right away when we struggled with how to lock the back door. She was very pleasant! Overall I would recommend this place!

Annual Mother's Day Trip

Location was great. Decor was beachy and very colorful, which we loved. The beds were very comfy. It felt like home! What a wonderful front and side porches with rockers & adirondack chairs to enjoy the sunset and a glass of wine. Beach accommodations were exceptional! We would recommend Leap of Faith to family & friends and hope to stay there again!

Relaxing and enjoyable

Leap of Faith was a great experience. Very clean, beautifully decorated. Just like home! Only suggestion would be that the porch and porch furniture could use a power washing. Loved our visit. And having beach chairs/umbrella service all set up in the beach was perfect!

Wonderful vacation home

We loved the house. It was very clean and comfy. Loved the lay out of the house. Each room had their own privacy. Showers were great!! The kids loved the fact that they had the option of the pool and ocean close by. Shopping was just minutes away. Didn't want to leave. Definitely recommend staying here. Kathy was very nice and helpful.

Fantastic Crystal Beach Cottage

This is a fantastic little cottage! Plenty of room for our family of 7. Proximity to beach, shopping & grocery stores was wonderful! Kitchen was one of the best stocked in terms of small appliances & utensils we've ever had! Cart, outdoor shower & hooks, and included "beach service" made trips to the beach with kids SO much easier!! Pool & beach we're both a short walk away. And the front porch was a great place to sit & relax after a long day with family. Thanks so much for sharing your lovely home!!

Family Getaway

We spent a week here and it was perfect! The house was very clean and as advertised. The living area (kitchen & living room) was quite a bit bigger than what we expected, which was wonderful. Our fist day there, my son locked us out of the master bedroom. I called Kathy (property manager) who was there within 5 minutes to unlock the door; I was surprised how quick her response was and how friendly she was. The location is also perfect -we could walk to the beach and were also very close to restaurants and shopping. We'll definitely try to book this house again.
