Hemingway's Hideout Professionally Managed by Newman-Dailey

LOCATION is EVERYTHING! Imagine a true Florida Beach Cottage on a private, dead-end street with private beach access and private pool. Enjoy the sea breeze sitting under shady oaks with a cold drink in your hand.

If Hemingway traveled north of Key West, he surely would have enjoyed this Destin beach cottage, reminiscent of what you might find in the keys. This lovely vacation home would be a place after his own heart.Less than a 5 minute walk to the beach; surrounded by the unique shady oaks that Northwest Florida is known for; wrapped in several peaceful porches and has a private pool in the large backyard. We think this wonderful cottage will have you coming back for more.

This home makes it so easy to enjoy what we came here for—the relaxation and beauty of some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. It is ideally located in the Crystal Beach area near The Destin Commons, grocery stores, award-winning restaurants and many recreational activities nearby. It’s location in Kokomo Cove has dedicated neighborhood beach access and is adjacent to the bike trail that runs along the beach and meets up with shops and eateries.

While it’s true that the locale of Hemingway’s Hideout is fantastic, this beach vacation rental is more than just a dot on the map! Apart from an eclectic and attractive coastal décor, it has a modern kitchen stocked with all you’ll need for a culinary adventure. There are high-end kitchen appliances enough to fulfill any chef's dream. There is a full laundry room and flat screen TVs in each room. It’s not so big you need a map to navigate but feels very open and airy with 10’ ceilings on the main level. Moreover, the top floor is accessible via a spiral staircase and has a wonderful 360 degree balcony that offers beautiful views of sunsets over Crystal Beach and a partial Gulf view. The backyard is also poetic. A large private pool is surrounded by plush outdoor furnishings, and a grill. In fact, don’t be surprised if you feel like living a short story of your own as you bask in this sunny oasis.

    We absolutely loved this property. It was updated beautifully, and had plenty of space for our family. The location is perfect, you can be at the beach in less than five minutes. We loved the private pool and spent many days cooling off in the pool after getting home from the beach. Rental communication was great. We will definitely stay again.

    The property was small but very pretty and appeared newly remodeled. It was comfortable enough for 6 people. The pool area was beautiful. We really enjoyed having a pool to jump into after the beach. The beach is only a short walk from the house. There are only minimum starter items in the home and there were no beach towels, chairs, umbrellas or a wagon to use for trips to the beach. Also, you cannot get to the pool through the house, you have to use the front door to walk around to the back yard even though there are 2 side entries leading to the wrap around pouch, both with signs stating do not use. This was an inconvenience when taking food or items to the pool area. There is a beautiful spiral staircase, but the air didn't reach the top, therefore making the room unusable and the TV was only for DVD use upstairs. Also all closets are packed full of the owners items leaving no room to put clothes, especially in the bunk room. The closest was locked for owner use only. There was no TV in the room with bunk beds. Also, window covering would be nice in the kitchen and living room. Beautiful property and great location but I would not rent again.

    My wife and two kids recently stayed at this house. Everything was great and the location couldn’t be better. Would definitely recommend staying there if you get a chance.

    This property was good. The thing that made it worth our stay was the pool and proximity to the beach. It was further away from shopping and restaurants, but if you’re planning to stay in, this is a great place. Bunk room tv didn’t work, and a few kitchen items were missing. Overall was happy with the experience.

    We enjoyed the accommodations at this property as well as its proximity to the beach. The backyard is a private oasis with heated pool and made this an ideal property even on cool, cloudy days. We appreciated the landscaping and ample shade In the yard. The kids loved the “clubhouse” upstairs above the tree line. The kitchen and bathrooms are beautifully furnished. The shady front porch was lovey for sipping drinks and playing board games together.

    Spectacular kitchen accommodated our family cooking competition, our way of having fun eating in all the time due to Covid risks. Location to beach was awesome. Little tight for 6 adults. Suggest a change to an oval or ellipse Dining table to have head clearance walking around spiral staircase. Beautiful finishes. Quartzite counters stunning.

    The property and neighborhood were both great. The beach is just at the end of the street with a private beach entrance. You're not ON the beach, but you're super close. Beds were good (I would say medium firmness), pool was clean and well positioned, and the kitchen was big. We did have a problem with the master toilet. But the management company and the owner took care of it the same morning we called them. Many thanks for the incredibly fast response! Overall, we had a great time.
