The Space:

We can’t wait to welcome you to The Charleston Experience. With Destin’s beautiful beaches just one block away, our Southern beach home is truly unmatched.



The first floor of this cozy home features a living area with a large sectional, complete with chaise lounges on each end and a pull-out that converts into a comfortable King-size sleeping space.



The kitchen area has an open concept to the living room for enjoying your meals and time together. We've stocked this kitchen with full appliances, dishes, bake ware, pots & pans, silverware, utensils, crockpot, blender, and a traditional coffee maker & Keurig! If you plan to cook during your trip, we encourage you to bring along any spices, condiments, & oils you may need as we do not provide any perishable or non-perishable items. Enjoy meals together around the dining table or slide into the breakfast bar for a quick bite. The laundry room is located right off the kitchen with a full size washer & dryer, ironing board, and iron. We have an easy to use high chair, pack and play, kids cutlery, cups, and plastic dishes for our tiny travelers as well!



The 1st floor is completed with a full bathroom (tub/shower combo) and a bedroom with a Queen bed and desk, perfect for working at your "home away from home".



Upstairs there are 2 King master bedrooms, the first having a private bath with a walk-in shower & a large walk-in closet. Enjoy luxury bedding, marvelous design, & even a little reading nook to escape to. The last bedroom has a King bed, two closets, and a balcony to boast about with quintessential Southern rocking chairs & a hammock to have a post-beach mid-day nap! While this bedroom does not have an attached bath, there is a full bathroom with a walk-in shower located right in the hallway for easy access.



Our outdoor entertainment space is unrivaled in the area, it features a POOL with heating available upon request. Please let us know before arrival if you'd like the pool heated, as the pool heat is on an automated system! The outdoor entertainment area includes a full-sized decorative outdoor kitchen, with a granite/stainless (large grill/refrigerator & sink) with a 3-seat bar area and an oscillating fan. An octagon seating table with a large umbrella is provided for a pleasant outdoor dining experience. There is a natural gas firepit with seating for 4 located on one end of the spa/pool and 3 Loungers on the opposing end. Just imagine roasting s'mores after you've soaked up the sun all day! If your kids (or kids at heart) are feeling up to the challenge, a rivaling game of ping-pong, or cornhole, awaits! We truly have packed as much FUN as possible into this space!



There is an additional community pool that is located directly across from the home if the children would like a larger area to play or if adults would like a little more privacy.



The “Martini Bar” perpetuates the scenery with a Tropical mural backdrop and a painted floor reminiscent of the Destin Harbor. Amenities in the “Martini Bar” include a twin sail ceiling fan, faux fireplace, mini-split A/C, 65” ROKU TV, custom dart board, and a convertible gaming/dining table with seating for 8 - perfect for entertainment rain or shine! This area also includes a sectional with chaise which converts to a Queen sleeper sofa.



The Grounds of “The Charleston” are immaculately landscaped with a serpentine walking path and 2 outdoor hammocks for reading, relaxation and peace. Featuring more than 20 landscape lights and our distinctive lighted “Weeping Willow” porch baskets, the property comes alive at night, offering spectacular photo opportunities.



“The Charleston” is located 1 block off of Destin's finest white sand beaches and only a few blocks away from restaurants, entertainment, parks, shopping and more! The Charleston includes a TOP-OF-THE-LINE 2024 street legal 6 passenger golf cart dubbed the ‘Ferrara-Cart” which makes for an easy travel and more enjoyable ride to beaches, restaurants, entertainment venues or just a sunset pleasure cruise.



The Charleston was designed with an open floor plan for entertainment and dining to encourage good times and lasting memories that your family & friends will not soon forget. There is also an outdoor shower on the premise for rinsing off after the spa/pool or beach. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktails while relaxing on 2 full wrap-around decks with multiple swings & 8 rockers overlooking the Cottages of Crystal Beach during sunset.
