Exclusive Private Beach - Walk to The Trap-Pampano Joe's-Capt Daves & Kenny D's

Welcome to "Beachfront Haven" (Green Reef 13) - your beach home away from home! Experience a Destin beach vacation like no other!

Renovated beachfront townhome (built on the sand not across the street) with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. (5th bedroom is for smaller people)

We just finished up the major remodeling of the entire town home in mid-2020. This unit is gorgeous, brand new and wonderful! Green Reef is a high-demand beachfront complex of only 20 total units with EXCLUSIVE PRIVATE BEACH FOR EACH HOME AS EACH HOME OWNS ITS OWN BEACH SO THE ONLY PEOPLE ON YOUR SLICE OF BEACH IS FOR YOU AND YOUR GUESTS- YOU DO NOT SHARE YOUR BEACH WITH ANYONE ELSE FROM CORNER TO CORNER OF YOUR BEACH DECK DOWN TO WHERE THE PUBLIC WALKS ALONG THE WATER (most private beaches share the beach with people in a complex, subdivision or high rise- not here the backyard/ beach is ALL yours! WE are built on the sand not across the street. The only way to get closer to the water is to be on a boat.

** LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! **

Beachfront Haven is located in one of Destin's most iconic beachfront communities, Green Reef! Stay right on the beach with your own private beach!

No need to haul your beach stuff across the street, down any sidewalks, through any buildings, down any elevators!! No beach cart or buggy necessary!!! No need to walk aimlessly trying to find an open spot on the beach to settle down, and no need to fight any other people for a good beach setup spot! NOPE.

Just step RIGHT OFF THE DECK into the beautiful white powdery Destin sand of your own PRIVATE BEACH!

This beachfront Destin townhome is only a short distance to a few restaurants, so you can quickly and easily walk (on the street or on the beach) for lunch, happy hour/drinks, or dinner!
- 0.2 mi - Kenny D's
- 0.2 mi - Captain Dave's
- 0.4 mi - The Crab Trap

One master suite is on the street/parking side of the home, and the other master suite is on the beach side of the home, with large no-pane windows overlooking the beach, giving you the best beachfront views you can get in Destin RIGHT FROM YOUR BED, plus a private master suite balcony!

To go downstairs to the bottom level (what we call the beach level), take the stairs down one level (from middle/main). This level has 2 bedrooms - one with a queen bed that sleeps 2, and the other is a bunk bedroom that sleeps 3 (queen bed on bottom, one twin bed on top) - and a full bathroom, as well as a kitchenette and living area.

** RIGHT ON THE SAND **

You cannot stay any closer to the beach than here unless you're camping in a tent on the sand!! Plus, you get your own private beach for your vacation. What more could you ask for?? Step right off the deck into the pristine, super soft white sands of Destin, Fl. The white sand beaches and the gorgeous green waters of the Emerald Coast are like no other in the US!!!!

4 beach chairs and a beach umbrella is provided on the deck for you to use during your stay. If you'd like beach chair / umbrella rental and setup, please contact Burke's Beach Services to coordinate directly: https://burkesbeachservices.com/ (850) 585-8462

Family vacation
Our stay on this property was amazing! The home is huge and has very nice features. We had a family of 14, ages 1-58 y/o, and we never felt crowded. The three different floors and two kitchens allowed everyone to spread out and feel comfortable. The private beach was very nice to assure we had our own little spot to ourselves. The owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We had a few mishaps in the home and the owner was very understanding and easy to work with. You won’t regret this stay! The views were stunning and that sand!!! We also saw so many sea animals (dolphins swimming by multiple times, sharks being caught by our neighbors, stingrays, jellyfish, and crabs! I’m hopeful we’ll get to go back!

Great for spring break
It was a great, safe feeling neighborhood. The a/c is super touchy, and the basement unit wasn’t working, but Kim sent someone right away. we felt like there was room for everyone. We brought extra paper towels, toilet paper, dish and laundry soap which we did use so make sure not to forget that. We would definitely stay again.

More than Perfect!
What an amazing experience! Walk out the back deck and your toes are in the sand! You get your own stretch of beach to relax on without being packed in like the public beach. The condo is beautiful, spacious and clean. My family and friends had plenty of room to play, relax and make memories! I highly recommend this property and I will be booking again myself!

Great Family Trip
This was my first experience with vrbo and had a 5/5 visit. The host was timely when replying my questions and was also understanding with checking in and out a couple hours later. The location is great right on the beach with plenty of space to host a large group. We had 8 adults, 1 toddler and 1 baby with plenty of space for all. Ideal place to vacation if you want to relax with a large group on a family friendly beach. The water was beautiful and shallow for kids to play and amazing white sand. Don’t hesitate and book this place!

Gorgeous beach.
Thank you for sharing your home with us. We all had a wonderful time. It was amazing to be able to have my daughter & her family come down for vacation- we have not seen them in months. We live 9hrs away. Everyone had their own bedroom & bathroom. The multi level decks were great as well. We could all be together & we could spread out for privacy. The sunset views were beautiful. We saw dolphins playing in front of us.

This is paradise! Walking off the deck to your own private beach is wonderful. This is a very large townhouse to stay at, the owner was quick to respond and accommodating. I would definitely stay there again. The only negative thing is the sleeper sofas are uncomfortable but most them are.

Improvements
Check-in was supposed to be at 4, however, we did not get in until after 4. If check-in will not be on time, prior communication would have been appreciated. All the knobs on the exterior doors do not lock. The locks on the knobs do not turn. Additionally, the three beach side door bolts do not turn unless you lift up on the doors. The two bay windows on the main floor were filthy, and not cleaned from prior guests. One of the dining room chairs in broken, and if sat on, the leg moves and the chair collapses. The ice maker in the fridge on the main level does not work. The BBQ grill looks like it went through a hurricane, as it is completely rusted and barely works. However, the house is in a great location right in the beach. The bathrooms and kitchen were clean. A huge amount of beach towels were readily available. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay.
