Large, pet-friendly, 4-plus bedroom house with private pool, steps to the beach

Welcome to Seahouse Escape! This property has been a long-time popular vacation rental with so many glowing reviews, but due to change in ownership and management, a new VRBO account had to be created and that eliminated all the reviews.

This spacious retreat with a private carriage house features 5 bedrooms—3 king bedrooms, one room with a pull-out sofa with desk/work area and kitchenette, and a super bunk room with a queen and two (2) twin-over-full bunks —local rules say I can only list 14 occupancy but do the bed count and you'll get the real number. Enjoy the private pool, an abundance of outdoor living/dining space, parking for 3-4 vehicles, 4 full baths, gas grill and a bright kitchen. Just steps to the beach and conveniently located to all that is Destin.

You ll immediately shift into beach vacation mode when you step inside Seahouse Escape. The beach-inspired colors, furniture and decor, as well as the comfortable, open rooms invite you relax and enjoy seaside living. And the pristine white beach is less than a block away!
