STAY ON THE BEACH-HOME BUILT ON BEACH-STEP OFF UR DECK ONTO UR OWN PRVT BEACH!

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
- 0.9 mi - Pompano Joe's

Not only can you walk to a few places, but anything you could possibly need for your vacation is within a short bike or car ride distance away:
< 4 mi - GROCERY & CONVENIENT STORES (Publix, Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Winn Dixie, Walmart, CVS - just to name a few, including gas stations, liquor stores and more!)
< 4 mi - SHOPPING (Silver Sands Premium Outlets, Destin Commons)
< 4 mi - DINING (besides the walkable ones mentioned above... Whale's Tail, 790 on the Gulf, Camille's, Surf Hut - a few of our faves! *Plus many others - Italian, Mexican, Asian, all types of cuisine!)

Perfect location!!
We wanted a property on the beach and this beautiful home was exactly that! Very roomy and our family was comfortable. If you are looking to step off your deck onto the beautiful powder sand of Destin, this is the place. Communication with our Property Manager, Kimberly, was excellent every step of the way. We hope to return next year!!

Private beach spot!!
This is the second time my family has stayed at this property. We absolutely love that we step off the deck to a private beach spot. We can come and go from the beach to the house very easily and as frequently as needed throughout the day. My 70 year old parents enjoyed the patios with high chairs and umbrellas to sit out of sun and enjoy watching the beach. Also makes it very convienient that Kenny Ds is right across the street. No driving necessary to get seafood every night. Its alot of money but has provided my family with great memories.

Very nice property with great views. Very spacious and nice beach front location. The 5th bed room was very very small and because it’s the only bedroom on the main floor would not use it for a child but overall we had an awesome time. Thank you for letting us stay.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Just okay
The a/c air filters in both units were clogged. My husband changed one as there was one extra filter but no extra filters to replace the upstairs filter. There were roach like bugs on the basement stairs one evening. There were holes in the main living room couch. The dish water was broke and her communication insinuated that we caused it. The property manager did replace the dishwasher the next day so that was great. The property manager’s communication style could be more inviting and welcoming. Great location and private beach access was fabulous.
