Description

This magnificent vacation residence in fashionable Crystal Shores of Destin has recently received a dazzling and massive remodel in 2019 making the home more updated and welcome. All six bedrooms have been updated, all bathrooms remodeled, and a new open concept state of the art kitchen now faces the family area. This vacation home offers all new Samsung Smart TV's throughout and includes a converted 8'x25' saltwater pool. The extensive embellishments also include new landscaping, upscale furnishings, fresh paint, and a widened brick paved driveway that easily accommodates five permitted vehicles for large family beach reunions.

Blue Water Escape readily defines a chic, comfortable casual coastal style and is ready to host up to 16 fortunate guests graciously. The highly hospitable home has a premier position situated directly across the street from the glorious gulf. Two sets of expansive upper level covered balconies span across the entire width to take full advantage of this sought after locale. They provide lovely tropical views of the glittering jewel toned waters with direct balcony access from a Master Suite and Guest Bedroom on the top level as well as the open living area on the second floor.

A columned open veranda on the first floor faces the sparkling swimming pool, which includes multiple seating ensembles with tables for drinks and dining poolside. A white picket fence beside it overlooks a lush green lawn, clusters of towering palms, and indigenous plants that showcase a terrific tropical setting. A large lagoon shaped community pool and the sugary white sand beach are just a short stroll away. Guest quarters on the private poolside level include wonderfully appointed bedrooms with decorative art that provide a cheerful countenance and whimsical feel. They both have direct access to the pool patio, and a delightful den includes a queen sized sleeper sofa. A full bath serves both and provides a convenient powder room near the pool.

The open living area on the second floor features a wraparound couch that faces a large TV mounted on a decorative wall with a gleaming white pebble patterned surface. A thick honey-toned hardwood topped table near the open kitchen has six tropically inspired raised straw woven side chairs flanked by square straw stools at each end. A triple set of simple beaded chandeliers, large seahorse wall sculptures, paintings of wild herons, and tropical silk plants provide an enchanting coastal ambiance. The kitchen has plenty of creamy white custom cabinetry for treats and new brushed stainless steel appliances to create fun family feasts. A charming Guest Bedroom in this level has warm cottage styled furnishings that include a queen sized bed and access to a full hall bath.

The elegant Master Bedroom Suite, a beautiful Guest Bedroom and a twin bunk room on the top level each have direct access to the furnished balcony to enjoy the gorgeous gulf views. The Master Bedroom and one Guest Bedroom have king-sized beds. The Master Suite includes a private luxury bath while a full hall bath serves the other two bedrooms.

Our family vacation
The house was nice. Everything was neat and clean. Pool was nice and the children enjoyed it. Parking was perfect for the amount of cars we had. The location of the house was perfect. Everything was near and didn't have to travel so far. Beach was right across the street. Heads up, the elevator doesn't work. But our overall experience was great.

Is the pool private or communal? Is it heated?
Mary G - Posted: 02/07/2022

Answer:

Blue Water Escape in Crystal Shores of Destin has both a private and community pool. Though the private pool is not heated, the community pool is typically heated over the week of Thanksgiving.

Are there restaurants within walking distance? Can you suggest a shuttle service from the airport?
Mary G - Posted: 02/08/2022

Answer:

A great restaurant within a short walking distance is Camille's, serving great seafood, sushi, entrees, and lunch items. There are other fantastic restaurants, just a quick car ride from the home. For Destin airport shuttles click here!

Can you give me a more detailed picture of the bedding situation?
Courtney H - Posted: 02/08/2022

Answer:

Yes - please refer to the bottom of the property description for a complete breakdown of each room in the home. You may also virtually explore the 3D Tour located below the property images. If you need further clarification, please contact one of our friendly reservation assistants. 

Where is the beach access located for this home?
Courtney H - Posted: 02/08/2022

Answer:

When vacationing at Blue Water Escape, you will want to utilize the Crystal Beach Beach Access just to the east of the home. This access is approximately a three to four-minute walk away. Don't forget the sunscreen!

Are 2 small dogs ok?
Carrie R - Posted: 05/21/2023

Answer:

We love our dogs here at Ocean Reef, however - Blue Water Escape is not a pet-friendly property.  If you are unable to board your pup, you may want to consider one of these Pet Friendly Rentals.
