Recently renovated home with stunning water & sunset views

Palmetto Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This recently renovated cottage home is a short walk to the beach and is located in the gated and prestigious neighborhood of Destin Pointe. From the expansive, furnished decks, enjoy stunning views and sunsets overlooking freshwater Lake Christina, the Gulf, and East Pass. There’s also fantastic swimming and floating in the crystal-clear Gulf from this home's private, deeded beach. Beach set-up is included along with four adult beach bikes.

When guests build up an appetite, the well-equipped, modern kitchen offers plenty of space for entertaining and preparing your recipes with ease. Helpful gadgets include a food processor, Crock-Pots, a French press, a bean grinder, a Keurig machine, and a large wine/beverage fridge. Enjoy reminiscing about the day in the family room, offering Gulf views along with a 65-inch smart TV.

There will be plenty of room for all guests to spread out - all of the bedrooms (except for the bunk room) have private outdoor spaces and baths. The primary suite features a plush bed, plenty of closet space, a private bathroom, and a large walk-in shower with double vanity. French doors lead to two private lower decks with lounge chairs for spectacular Gulf and sunset views. The second and third bedrooms both feature smart TVs, generous closet spaces, and private decks. The fourth bedroom is a wonderful space for children, with a charming bunk bed, smart TVs in each bunk, and a third, larger TV for gaming!

There will be no lack of fun to be had when everyone heads out to the beach for the day, as guests will have access to a large ice chest with wheels, boogie boards, noodles, two double kayaks, two stand-up paddleboards, multiple life vests for kids and adults, a beach cart with super-wide wheels, tons of sand toys, and beach games! All you need to bring are your own beach towels. Tennis and pickleball gear is included if your group wants to hit the courts together, and there's also a lighted basketball court for more outdoor recreation. And for indoor fun - lots of family board games, cards, poker chips, and puzzles!

Located just west of the heart of downtown Destin, this home is situated in a quiet, kid-friendly, gated neighborhood (with a 24/7 security guard at the gate), offering a peaceful stay while still being close to all of the action. Ride your bike to the water taxi dock and leave the car at home to tour all the action at HarborWalk Village by water taxi! Big Kahuna's Water & Adventure Park and The Track are both a short drive from home. You can also try your luck catching a big one while surf-casting from the home's private beach or go deep-sea fishing with a local skipper. Crab Island is accessible via the Crab Island Water Taxi.

Annual Family Vaca
House was awesome. In a great location. Only draw back was that it said it could fit 3 cars and it only fit 2 so one family had to park their car at the vacasa lot. Other than that we had a great time!

There’s so much I want to say about the Palmetto Cottage and Destin Pointe! Our family loved having their own personal space and TVs for everyone! The neighborhood, beach access, proximity to popular Destin attractions, beaches, amenities in the house, etc. it was all perfect! The house and views were PERFECT! We did have an issue with our fridge, but the homeowner/Vacasa were right on top of it! They wanted to make sure everything about our stay went well. The house has everything you could possibly need for the beach and extras in the kitchen including a crockpot. The beds were comfy. I could go on and on! We loved our stay and hope to go back in the future!

Get away after 2 years.
Needed a vacation after 2 years of not going anywhere because of the pandemic. The property was very nice and exceeded our expectations. Had everything we needed and the location was good too. We wished there was more light on the front for the evening and night time and also more parking. Other than that it was very nice. Would stay again. Very lovely.

Destin family vacation
The house was perfect for our group of 9. (5 adults, 4 children). Spent almost all our time on the beach snd loved that. House close to the beach. A few drawbacks: Ice machine never worked, A couple light bulbs were out. Air conditioning went out but was fixed the next day…very responsive to the issue… But all in all, very satisfied

Great Property
We were very pleased with this beautiful and charming home. It is even prettier in person, and the proximity to the boardwalk was great. We also loved the short little walk to the jetties. I’d recommend this property! Side note: If you have children that go to bed earlier than adults, you have to be a little bit quiet on the third floor because you can hear the foot traffic on the second floor where everyone sleeps.

Perfect stay
First time to the Destin area and we couldn’t have found a more perfect place. Beautiful home in a quiet gated neighborhood with spectacular sunset ocean views and a short walk to private white sand beach. The home is beautifully decorated, very inviting, and comfortable. We have high standards for the homes we rent and this home did not disappoint. Loved listening to the nature sights and sounds from the deck. Hope to return next year!

A lovely home with beautiful coastal views and easy access—a 5-10-minute walk—to the beach.. For details about your trip, etc., contact Vacasa in FL directly, as the link to the property manager given on VRBO‘S site, does not reach anyone.
