Just a short stroll from the sugar-white sand and emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico, this three-story Crystal Beach home brings together the features that make Destin living so appealing: generous accommodations, a private heated pool, detached guest quarters and the freedom of ownership without HOA dues. Offering 2,874 square feet with five bedrooms and four full baths, the fully furnished residence is equally suited to memorable beach escapes, extended stays and continued use as a vacation rental. The thoughtfully arranged floor plan provides ample room for family and guests across three levels. The main residence features four bedrooms and three baths, with open living, dining, and kitchen spaces that create a comfortable central gathering place. Gulf views add a distinctly coastal backdrop, while multiple levels let larger groups spread out without sacrificing connection. A detached guest house adds another dimension to the property, offering a private bedroom, full bath and kitchenette separate from the main residence. Ideal for extended family, guests or groups traveling together, this additional space provides privacy and flexibility that can be especially valuable in a vacation home. Outdoors, the private in-ground heated pool serves as the centerpiece of the home's leisure space. An open patio provides room to relax between trips to the beach, dine outdoors or spend an afternoon poolside. The expansive 50-by-150-foot homesite also offers four driveway parking spaces, providing convenient accommodations for owners and guests. Known to vacation guests as Coastal Fantasea, the property has established a strong presence on airBnB. Its location places the beach within an approximately three- to five-minute walk while Henderson Beach State Park, shopping, dining and entertainment are all conveniently nearby. Fully furnished and positioned for continued vacation rental use, the home offers an appealing opportunity for buyers seeking both personal enjoyment and investment potential. With five bedrooms, separate guest accommodations, a private heated pool, gulf views, no HOA dues and the beach just moments away, this Crystal Beach property captures the flexibility and ease of a well-appointed Destin coastal retreat.

Crystal Beach, located between Henderson Beach State Park and Destin Commons, is a coastal and residential Destin neighborhood with sugar-white sand access and palm-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Scenic Highway 98 near Camille’s at Crystal Beach, where a beach-market café scene meets low-rise cottages and flip-flop foot traffic. Architecture leans toward pastel beach cottages and newer coastal builds with porches, paver drives, and dune-friendly landscaping. Shoreline days orbit the public beach access points along Scenic 98, while evenings shift toward walkable dining and retail. Camille’s at Crystal Beach and The Crab Trap anchor the local food scene with Gulf-facing patios and a casual pace. Henderson Beach State Park adds boardwalk trails and protected dunes that shape the area’s laid-back geography.
