The guest bedroom on this floor has a queen bed, flat-screen TV, and connects to the first floor bathroom with a walk-in shower.

The one-of-a-kind pool deck is accessible from the first floor and includes amenities that you will not find elsewhere. The private pool has a gentle slope entry, multiple jets and fountains, and LED lights to illuminate your nighttime swim. The spa is connected to the pool and is perfectly situated to enjoy the outdoor television. Slightly cooler than a hot tub, the spa is warm enough to let you relax and unwind. The other pool deck amenities include a full outdoor kitchen, private gas grill, and plenty of lounge furniture. The pool can also be heated for $75 per day for the entire length of your stay upon your request. Please call us at 850-269-1005 to put in a request to turn on the pool's heating system.

SECOND FLOOR
The second floor has a large, open floorplan that includes the living area, dining area, kitchen, and wet bar. With windows on every wall, the space is filled with natural light and invites you out onto the balcony with plenty of seating perfect for outdoor dining. The living area is comfortably furnished and a great place to relax and watch the large flat-screen TV after a day on the beach. In the fully equipped kitchen you will find granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen comes stocked with all the cookware and dishware you need to prepare and serve meals for families of all sizes. The large dining table can seat up to 16 people and has unique bench seating. There are five custom made bar stools at the breakfast bar and a small breakfast table for four that provide additional seating. A wet bar area just off of the kitchen features beautiful granite, bar-ware, and a unique martini glass-shaped sink.

One of the home’s two master bedrooms is located on this floor. The bedroom features a king bed, flat-screen TV, a private master bathroom, and private access to a balcony overlooking the pool deck. The master bathroom has a walk-in shower, jacuzzi tub, and double vanity.

THIRD FLOOR
The third floor features three large bedrooms, one of which is the main master bedroom, and a large balcony with a wet bar and rooftop terrace access. The master bedroom has a king bed, flat-screen TV, and private access to the third floor balcony. The adjoining master bathroom has a large walk-in shower, jetted tub, and custom double vanities. This floor also features a king guest bedroom with a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and access to the balcony. Additionally, there's a third guest bedroom with a queen bed and private bathroom with a walk-in shower.

For the pool to be heated during your stay, we require at least 48 hour notice before your arrival to ensure the pool has time to reach the proper temperature of 88℉. The pool heat charge is $75 per day of your reservation. This home is equipped with a gas based pool heater, which can operate as intended regardless of outdoor temperature. This home also has a spillover spa attached to the pool. The spa is heated to the same temperature as the pool and uses the same heating method.

This Destin vacation rental is professionally managed by Compass Resorts.

Great family vacation
The house was great. The location was perfect. The beach was amazing and just a few steps away. We had 6 adults and 7 children ages 6 to 14. There was plenty of room. The few notes. The area with the bunkbeds is actually in a small area immediately off the garage. No big deal but not a room so be aware. There are no beach towels so we had to buy some and leave them there. Minor things that didnt impact our time but just FYI. The management was responsive to any calls we made . Lots of activities and restaurants close by. I would absolutely come again.

I was relieved to find the property as lovely in person as it is in photos. I have stayed in some places that definitely were not! We loved having all the space for our large family. We were able to cook meals and share them around that large dining table. I could have done so many fun things for our family without ever leaving the house had we been staying longer (and if the weather had been a bit more cooperative!) I loved all of the outdoor seating areas and outdoor kitchen! Overall we did enjoy our stay and hope to come back!

Excellent
Wonderful location and property. My only complaint would be that the hot tub is actually a “spillover spa.” So it didn’t get hot, only warm. Management was quick to respond to us regarding this matter though. Overall, it was a pleasant stay for a large family.

Overall it is a great place to stay. We had 15 in our group. Everyone had a bedroom. Not far from the beach at all. Close to restaurants. The ONLY thing we didnt like was the big roaches in the kitchen.

Great experience!
The property was described perfectly in the listing. Our party consisted of 7 adults, no kids. There was plenty of room for several more people to sleep comfortably. The beach is just steps away. We will be renting this property again in the future.

We had a family of 8 adults and 2 children stay a week. It was awesome and we will definitely go back. Only suggestion is there should be detailed instructions on the heated pool and hot tub. We struggled to understand how to operate them. Overall a wonderful experience!

My family recently stayed at Castle By The Sea, a beautiful home in the Dunes of Destin complex. The house was incredible, and it was only a three minute walk to the beach. This was a very unique home, with a bathroom for each bedroom, plenty of room to hang out together or have your own space. The staff at Compass Resorts were friendly, caring, considerate and ready to help with any questions or concerns we had. We had a wonderful time, and can't wait to go back. Our family highly recommends Compass Resorts, and this awesome home.

We had a wonderful stay at this house. It was in a perfect spot to walk to the beach and it had all the amenities that our kids could ask for if they just wanted a break from the sand! It was perfect for the 12 of us and could possibly accommodate a few more if needed. We will definitely use this house again in the future:)
