The Space:

Welcome to Commander's Retreat!



Free 6-Seat Golf Cart, Huge Private Pool! Sleeps 16, Close To the Beach! Brand New House!



A beautiful blend of classic style and modern comfort, this six-bedroom home provides the amenities, location, and generous living space you need for a memorable group trip to Destin. Enjoy a private pool and hot tub out back, a golf cart available for guest use, as well as a prime location that places you mere blocks from Destin Commons and the sparkling white sand beach.



This home sits just two blocks north of the Barracuda Beach Access in Destin, which you can easily reach on foot. Then again, why walk when you can ride in your personal six-seater golf cart? Feel the warm breeze against your face as you arrive for a day of swimming and beachcombing. When you come back, you'll be greeted by an airy living space that spans two levels, offering central air conditioning, free high-speed WiFi, and white shiplap walls that add both character and style.



At the heart of the ground floor is a living room with two sofas and a TV. It opens to a farm-style dining table on one side and a gorgeous kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a subway tile backsplash, and a peninsula breakfast bar on the other. Pass through the French doors to reach the terrace out back, where you'll find the private pool, the hot tub, a fleet of lounge chairs, and a covered patio with ample seating and a gas grill. It's a beautiful spot to end each day before retiring to one of the six bedrooms, each of which has its own en suite bathroom and TV. There are two bedroom suites on the ground floor (including one with direct patio access) and four more upstairs (including two with direct access to a balcony overlooking the pool).

This property exceeded all of our expectations from the photos alone! The pool was incredible, and every room was spotless and beautifully decorated. Having a private bathroom in each bedroom was such a great perk. The kitchen and dining area were spacious, and overall, this was truly one of my favorite vacation properties I’ve ever stayed in.The only thing to note is that while a hot tub is included, there is an additional charge to have it heated, which we weren’t aware of at first. Aside from that, communication with the rental company was excellent—quick, clear, and helpful. All of the perks that came with our stay made the experience even better. We will definitely be booking this property again!
