Anchor Pointe in Destin's Crystal Beach

Description

Anchor Pointe is a gracious five-bedroom beach view vacation home that may happily "harbor" 14 fortunate guests in the highly sought after residential community of Crystal Shores. This premier Destin location on Scenic 98 places you a short stroll away from convenient beach access and close to popular gulf front restaurants with friendly beach bars.

Completed in crisp white and light blue trim, as soon as you arrive at this lovely home you are captivated by its warm charm and nautical appeal. A columned wraparound veranda spans across the back with a separate Guest House beside it. This veranda also overlooks a private pool that can be seasonally heated. A grill on the sundeck and table with chairs can provide a poolside dining experience. Another furnished veranda out back overlooks a lush tropical setting out towards the Gulf of Mexico, where you may enjoy the tranquil breezes. The main open living area easily incorporates the dining, kitchen, and family space. Comfortable furnishings include a tan couch with a built-in ottoman centered upon a wall-mounted TV flanked by handsome built-in shelving. Wooden benches and two straw chairs sit around a country dining table, and six raised bar chairs beside the kitchen allow everyone plenty of space to enjoy a fun family feast.

The Guest Bedrooms in the main house include king-sized beds in two of them with en suite luxury baths. A room for the kids contains two twin bunks and access to another bath. The spacious Master Suite on the top floor has a Wet Bar, an en suite luxury bath, and a king-sized bed that faces a private balcony with palm tree topped views of the gorgeous Gulf.

The Guest House has a comfortably furnished living/dining area with a kitchenette, a bedroom with a king-sized bed, a bunk room, and a full hall bath. A Game Room downstairs off the pool has a Ping Pong and Foosball Tables as well as a long couch facing a wall-mounted TV for entertainment.

This excellent location is very close to grocery stores along with retail specialty stores at Destin Commons, Paradise Key Shopping Center, and the Shops at Paradise Isle. There are also an abundant array of nationally known restaurants and bars with over two dozen choices.

Crystal Beach also has three locally-owned restaurants right on Scenic Gulf, and two of them are within easy walking distance. They are 790 on the Gulf that features Cajun-inspired dishes served with "southern Louisiana hospitality" and Camille's which is known for having great Italian food, pizzas and even sushi. The Beach Walk Cafe is also nearby, which serves up award-winning gourmet seafood and landlubber entrees with special sauces that are heavenly. This place is quite beguiling since it overlooks the Gulf and has panoramic views of dazzling sunsets across beach dunes. This locale is also centered between Destin and Miramar Beach, placing you minutes away from bustling activities along with abundant amusements at both.

Destin Family Vacay

2024 Family Memories

Anchor Point layout fit our family great. The location to the beach was wonderful & easy to walk to area shops & restaurants. Communication with the property managers was very simple & they were quick to respond to us. Looking forward to the next trip.
Theresa G from Rogers, MN - Stayed March 2024

Perfect beach house

Girls trip!! Our stay was amazing from the house to the excursions. Very easy to communicate with property management. We loved everything. Thank you for our comfortable stay.
Andrea M from Thirntown, IN - Stayed October 2023

Family vaca

We had a great time. Got in plenty off pool and beach time. The carriage house served as office space when needed. And the bedrooms were quiet for nap time. There are so many exterior doors that can be opened by 3 and four year olds. Could use some out of reach interior locks. Pool was well secured with locked gates. Property mgt. was great with service!
Joan S from Franklin, TN - Stayed September 2023

Amazing

This home is just as pictured. We had a few hiccups but they were taken care of in a timely manner. Everyone has a place to lay their heads and was comfortable!!! Walk to the beach was easy and across the street!! I hope to return when I visit Destin again
Tasia M from Lagrange Ga - Stayed July 2023

Great Vacation!

The house was wonderful, loved the lay out and location to the beach. The front porch and pool were great also. Very comfortable beds as well!
Victoria B from Fiskdale, MA - Stayed February 2023

Clean and beautifully decorated!

This was my first experience with Ocean Reef and I hope to be able to again! They were so incredibly easy to work with friendly and accommodating. The house in Crystal Beach, Destin, was clean and beautifully decorated. Very inviting. The kitchen was well stocked. It heals 3 coffee pots! We had plenty of towels and blankets. The automated texts were great to keep me reminded of trash pick ups. The interactions that I had by phone and email were very pleasant. The website it awesome! The pictures are beautiful and are spot on. The house is exactly as pictured. Very smooth rental! Thank you Ocean Reef!
Jennifer F from Rochester , PA - Stayed November 2022

We enjoyed literally everything about our stay.

We love ocean reef and we’ll be back! Your customer service is amazing. Thank you for taking such good care of our family. Anchor pointe is a beautiful home in a dreamy location. We especially love the small touches the ocean ocean reef left throughout the house. The beach bag that was left in the main house and the guest house that my daughters family and my family both used all week because we forgot to pack one came in handy! We love the travel size shampoo and soaps left in the bathroom and the Coozies(?) that did not go to waste!
Suzanna M from Oak Grove MO - Stayed May 2022

Excellent stay at the beach!

We had the best time. Said it slept 14 and it did - SO comfortably! Plenty of bedding and towels too. Only had to walk across the street to the beach. We stayed in Nov & it was chilly. We should have had them heat the pool a day before our arrival. We were blown away by the actual place as it was more than we expected from the listing. Beautiful furnishings and decor. A balcony off every floor (3). The beds were SO comfortable too! We couldn't have asked for more. Ocean Reef properties is great to work with and Anchor Pointe was a great place to stay! Everyone had a great time! And checkout was the easiest I've ever had! Thanks for a wonderful and memorable stay!
Robin F from Brentwood, TN - Stayed November 2021

House was in perfect location

The closest beach access is only about a 1-2 minute walk from Anchor Pointe. It is right across Scenic Highway 98 just to the west at the intersection of Hutchinson Street and Scenic 98. Don't forget the sunscreen!

Once you book, what is the cancellation policy?
Letha H - Posted: 04/28/2022

Answer:

You can view all of our rental policies here. Give us a call if you have any specific questions!

Does this house have beach chairs included?
Sarah M - Posted: 06/03/2022

Answer:

Beach chairs and umbrellas are not provided complimentary, but are most certainly available for rent. Once you have secured your reservation, we will provide you with the beach services contact information. The beach access is located at the end of Gulf Beach Drive, less than a two-minute walk from the home.

Are beach towels and paper good provided?
Laura R - Posted: 03/18/2023

Answer:

We provide linens and sheets for the beds, bath towels, and washcloths. You will want to bring your own beach towels, as we do not provide them. Our properties are furnished with enough disposable goods to get you started; this includes trash bags, paper towels, toilet tissue, dishwashing detergent, and bar soap. Our kitchens feature the basic necessities, such as a k-cup coffee maker, toaster, blender, silverware, and dishes. You may also want to pack hair dryers, additional disposable goods, and specialty kitchen items such as spices, aluminum foil, sandwich bags, etc.

Here is a helpful video to ensure that you are fully equipped for the beach!

Does the property have a regular coffeepot or Keurig?
Debbie G - Posted: 09/25/2023

Answer:

Keurig coffee makers are provided in all Ocean Reef properties to help get your beach day started. Be sure to bring your favorite K-Cups!
