Description

Salty Stingray is a striking seven-bedroom, seven-and-a-half-bath coastal retreat in Destin’s coveted Crystal Beach community, offering accommodations for up to twenty-two fortunate guests. Just a one-minute stroll from the sugar-white shoreline, this three-story home pairs elegant design with the comfort of home, creating the perfect setting for family reunions, group vacations, and milestone celebrations. With a private heated pool, a fenced backyard, panoramic Gulf views, and a complimentary golf cart, it’s built for both relaxation and adventure.

Step inside to light-filled interiors dressed in a soothing palette of soft neutrals, crisp whites, and warm wood tones. The open main living area features plush seating gathered around a large flat-screen TV, with sliding glass doors that frame the pool outside and invite in the coastal breeze. Shiplap accents, statement lighting, and custom finishes add a refined coastal charm.

The gourmet kitchen is a showpiece in itself, with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an oversized island perfect for meal prep and casual conversations. Overhead, striking pendant lights create a warm glow in the evenings, while the adjacent dining area—with its long table and elegant fixtures—sets the stage for memorable shared meals.

Every bedroom in Salty Stingray has its own private bath, blending privacy with boutique-style comfort. The first-floor king suite opens directly to the pool deck, while the second floor features four more king suites, two of which offer balcony access for morning coffee with a view. The third floor is perfect for families or kids, with two queen bedrooms and a nautical-inspired bunk room that sleeps eight, complete with built-in storage and playful yet polished décor.

Outdoors, the private pool is wrapped in a six-foot privacy fence, with cushioned loungers, shaded seating, and string lights that create a magical evening atmosphere. After a swim or a day at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower before heading to the third-floor sun deck—where Adirondack chairs and panoramic Gulf views make sunrise and sunset moments unforgettable.

From this prime location, you can walk or ride the included golf cart to local favorites like Camille’s for breakfast, The Crab Trap for fresh seafood, or explore nearby shopping at Destin Commons. Whether you’re lounging poolside, catching the sunset from the deck, or strolling to the sand, Salty Stingray delivers a picture-perfect Emerald Coast escape you’ll want to revisit year after year.

This house was a good choice
It was a wonderful experience staying in this house. It is large, spacious, bright, and in a great location. A big plus was the golf cart, which made it easy to get to the beach. You could also walk to the beach. The rooms were clean, and it was pleasant to be in them. We're happy we chose this accommodation.
