Newly renovated! Our charming Destin Florida Vacation Home is a three-bedroom cottage located in Destin's Crystal Beach community. We just installed brand new Luxury vinyl planks throughout our home and updated our kitchen with quartz countertops and stainless appliances.

Conveniently located just one and one-half blocks from the pristine Emerald Coast beach. It is an easy walk and there are no busy streets to cross. With 20-foot high vaulted ceilings and a retractable wall of glass overlooking our private pool, our home allows the outside to become part of your everyday living environment. Every room contains a ceiling fan and a 6-foot privacy fence surrounds the pool. Children and families are welcome. You have this darling home, private pool and grassy play area all to yourself. Named “The Great Escape”, you will find this vacation home to be a wonderful retreat for families and/or couples.

The contemporary decor and open floor plan allow you to relax in the comfort of our vacation home. The location is convenient to Destin Commons, the Fort Walton Airport, Big Kahuna Water Theme Park, and numerous restaurants and cafes within walking distance - including our favorite ice cream place- The Marble Slab.. This absolutely perfect vacation home comes with a king bed in the primary suite, a king size bed in the second bedroom and 2 sets of twin bunk beds in the third bedroom, which is perfectly suited for children! You will find the kitchen is equipped with everything you need and all the comforts of home. The floor plan is open and airy, with a spacious feeling. Don’t forget about your private pool and patio area complete with gas grill and patio table and chairs and lounge chairs. It's a wonderful escape from the beach. But, the Destin Florida beaches are the BEST!!! Your wonderful vacation can start with a day with shopping or golf, hit the beach or sit by the pool, you can complete your day with a fabulous meal. Whether you are in the mood to dress up and go out, or grill out by the pool, it is your choice. Our home is centrally located to a wide-range of activities for all ages.

    The great escape is a great place to stay! Very clean and organized and plenty of room. The house is perfect for a family with 3 bedrooms and a pool and we loved it! Walking distance to the beach and a short drive to plenty of great restaurants and stores!

    Love the layout, can see the pool easily from inside the house. Pool clean and warm. Managers extremely prompt for small issues. Quickly resolved the same day. Very happy with our two week stay!

    Perfect size home with everything you need in a quiet neighborhood close to the beach. Any questions or concerns, the property manager was easily accessible. Close to the grocery store, shopping, and restaurants. We will definitely make this our vacation destination.

    We loved our 10-day stay at Great Escape. We are an older couple (70 and 65) and we drove down from Chicago with our two beloved dogs (Marti and MJ). It's always a bit of a gamble booking on VRBO but the second we opened the front door, we knew we had hit the jackpot! The layout was just what we wanted - a long great room running the length of the house, with very high ceilings, and at the end of the room, sliding glass doors that opened to the delightful patio, pool, and fenced-in back yard. The master bedroom and bath opened off the great room and featured the same great view. The furniture was super comfortable and the TV setup was outstanding. The location was excellent for us - we walked to the beach and to a few of the local restaurants (Camilles and the Henderson Inn) and every night we walked Marti and MJ through the quiet streets of the neighborhood. We drove to various places around Destin and thought we were very centrally located. Nancy Phinney was an excellent host and answered all of our questions very promptly. We hope we can come back again next year!

    Perfect place to stay. Very close to everything (shopping, food, grocery, beach, etc). The pictures on VRBO don’t do this place justice. It’s gorgeous and very spacious. Had tons of beach towels, beach umbrella, boogie boards, beach chairs, and more

    We had a wonderful time. The house was close enough to the beach for us to walk. When the beach was full we drove down to the state park. Very close to food places and shopping. The kids loved the pool and were in it nonstop.

    We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the Great Escape! It was a perfect place for our family and the pool topped it off!! Great Location. Hopefully we can stay again soon. Only issue was the bathrooms need some TLC. Found hair around sink and clump of dog hair under kitchen table. Since you are paying for a cleaning service after each guest visit, wanted to make sure you are getting the service you are paying. Thanks again for a memorable vacation for our family.
