About this property

DESTIN BEACH PARADISE! LARGE PRIVATE POOL, AMAZING BEACHES AND GOLF CART DEALS!

The “Kokonut Hut” is a newly renovated beach house in the heart of Destin’s best neighborhood “Crystal Beach.” The home sleeps up to twelve and is set up for two or three families with children. It has four bedrooms (three king master bedrooms and one bunk room) and three full bathrooms. The home is in easy walking distance to the beach, Whole Foods, Destin Commons, the movie theater, Uncle Buck's bowling alley and many other restaurants and attractions. This home has ample parking for at least five vehicles in the driveway. Boats, jet skis, trailers and even Class A RVs can easily be parked in the driveway. This quaint, beach cottage with four bedrooms and three baths will make for the perfect vacation getaway!

You will enjoy cooking out on the gas grill in your backyard, or soaking up the sun next to your LARGE PRIVATE (13'X 26') HEATED POOL (Additional cost for pool heating) . This home is only a short walk to the sugar-white sand of the Gulf of Mexico, but even shorter when you ride the STREET LEGAL GOLF CART that is available to rent with the home! There is a wraparound deck, screened-in porch, detached in-laws quarters and lovely palm trees will welcome you. Remember - Life's a Beach - Dive In!!!

STREET LEGAL GOLF CART. We have a 2021 model street legal four or six passenger golf cart available for our guests to rent in addition to the home. Getting to the beach has never been easier or more fun! You can save up to $500 on a weekly booking! Why book any place else?

Perfect spot for a family of 5

This cute bungalow was a perfect fit for our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids). Location was amazingly close to the beach and the 6 seater golf cart made getting to the beach so easy and in less than 2 minutes! Backyard pool was a huge bonus as well and the kids were in it all the time!

We loved our stay at Crystal Beach!

House was the perfect location. We rented the golf cart, which I would highly recommend. It was a short 6 block ride to the beach. The beach is gorgeous and you will not be disappointed. We paid extra to have the pool heated and would also recommend that. We had some cooler days and the kids enjoyed the pool when we couldn't be at the beach.

Destin = Amazing and This House didn’t Disappoint

We had never been to Destin before so we decided to this year. Peter was so easy to communicate with. If I had any questions about where to go for this or that, he was so quick to respond. The golf cart was so convenient as well. The house handled our family as well as my mom She LOVED the mother in law suite! We will most definitely be coming back.

Perfect family home away from home

The online description was very accurate. The house was so clean & came w/ all the kitchen cooking items you could want. They also provided you with started toiletries (which would suffice for a couple day stay). The house has 2 screened in patios that we utilized so much. The heated pool was a bonus (was a little chilly during our stay). The mother-in-law suite was the perfect addition for our family stay. It’s within walking distance to the beach or there’s parking for the golf cart by one of the private access points. The owners were awesome about communication. We had no issues with the house whatsoever. Loved that they were pet friendly (for additional fee- it was very reasonable). The enclosed back yard was a bonus for us pet friendly travelers. Would definitely rent again.

Perfect Destin Getaway!

We had a wonderful three night stay at this beautiful home in Destin! The house was spotless upon arrival, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed, from modern amenities to a fully equipped kitchen. We enjoyed meals and morning coffee on the screened-in back porch. The fenced yard and private pool were major highlights—perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. The dining and bedroom furniture easily accommodated our group, and it would be a great fit for families or groups of varying sizes.The location couldn’t have been better. Just a short walk or quick drive to the beach, and conveniently close to great restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and we felt very safe walking around.The check-in and check-out process was incredibly easy and smooth, which made the experience even more enjoyable.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, clean, and convenient place to stay near the beach!

We stayed for 5 nights and really enjoyed it. The house was just as expected and communication with the host was great and very responsive. We did rent a golf cart but really did not need to get the beach closer than we thought. It was nice to have the cart though because you can drive it to eat or shop without having to get our car out.

Alright, but not as advertised

The location is great and the host was communicative, but the property itself needs work. The floors were very dirty in the main house and there were some bugs inside. The oven was unusable due to a previous tenant melting something, so it smoked heavily when we tried to use it. The deck out back has screws lining up which could cause a major hazard and there are lots of spots on various walls that need attention. It's an ok place but not really what's advertised.
