Description

This updated Destin vacation home places you steps from the sugar-white sand in the coveted coastal neighborhood of Frangista Beach. Whether you're cooling off in the private 10'x15' pool or heading a few doors down to enjoy the seasonally heated community pool with a waterfall feature and restroom facilities, Sandy Cheeks is all about laid-back luxury. Complimentary bikes and seasonal beach service add even more ease to your beach days.

With five bedrooms, sleeping space for 17 guests, and room for two well-behaved pups, this pet-friendly property is ideal for family reunions or multi-family vacations. Dual living spaces—each with their own kitchen, living area, and sleeping quarters—are connected via an interior spiral staircase and a full-size exterior staircase. A furnished ground-level porch and a breezy second-floor balcony provide additional spots to relax and gather, offering flexibility and privacy for larger groups.

The first floor of this spacious vacation home offers a full private living space with bright coastal hues, epoxy-coated floors, and comfortable furnishings—including two plush blue accent chairs and a gray sofa arrangement (with two queen sleepers) surrounding a mounted flat-screen TV. The adjacent kitchen is well-equipped with sleek gray cabinetry, stainless steel appliances (including a glass-top range and side-by-side fridge), and ample marbled counter space. A white drop-leaf dining table with woven-back chairs sits beneath a contemporary ceiling fan, making it easy to gather for meals. Down the hall, a king guest bedroom enjoys direct access to the patio, while a cheerful bunk room with a full/twin combo is perfect for the kids. A sleek hall bath with a glass-walled walk-in shower serves both rooms, and there's also a convenient powder room and laundry closet. Step outside through the glass doors to enjoy the private pool or relax on the ground-level covered porch.

Upstairs, natural light fills the main living area, where a plush sectional faces a large flat-screen TV, and French doors open to a breezy balcony framed by swaying palms. The dining area centers around a sleek white table with bench and chair seating for eight beneath a brushed nickel light fixture. Nearby, the kitchen adds vintage charm with soft yellow cabinetry, a hand-tiled backsplash, black granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances—including a glass-top range, French door fridge, and built-in wine rack—blending beachy character with everyday functionality. The primary suite features a king bed, ensuite walk-in shower, and classic hardwood furnishings. A second queen bedroom and another full/twin bunk room share a stylish hall bath with a walk-in glass shower and elegant vanity.

Form this premier Miramar Beach location, walk to beach bars like Whale's Tail or Pompano Joe's, both loved for their toes-in-the-sand vibes and fresh seafood. Sandy Cheeks is also just minutes from Silver Sands Premium Outlets, championship golf, and all the excitement at Baytowne Wharf and Grand Boulevard, where live music, festivals, and fireworks keep the good times going. Ocean Reef guests also enjoy discounts on beach gear, golf, and more.

I Love Sandy Cheeks
Beautiful home with plenty of room for all your family! It's like two homes in one. It's all beautiful, but the downstairs has been remodeled and is fabulous. There's a nice pool and outdoor area for fun evenings after your beach time! It is quickly becoming my favorite beach getaway in FL.
Anonymous U from Knoxville - Stayed October 2025
Thank you for your fantastic review of Sandy Cheeks! We're thrilled you loved the spacious layout, beautiful remodel, and relaxing pool area—perfect for enjoying evenings after a day at the beach. It’s wonderful to know this home is becoming your favorite Florida getaway. We look forward to welcoming you back to the beach with Ocean Reef Resorts soon!

Great multi family property!
Had a wonderful stay at the Bayou Beach House! Came down with another couple for an adult getaway. Weather was still great mid October. My husband I stayed on the lower level, and let me just say the shower downstairs is amazing! Having the 2 different living levels was great, you could be together, but still have your own space. Property and location is very nice, beach is super close, and food/coffee are a close walk. The home would easily sleep 3 families. I would recommend and be back soon!

Perfect Location!
Great Florida charm. Spent the week here on an adults getaway. Great location. Love the Frangista neighborhood. Short walk to beach access, coffee, restaurants, and bars. Spent most evenings out on the deck playing cards. House has separate living spaces on each floor and two kitchens - major bonus for longer trips with multiple couples or families. Great size for just a few people or lots of people.

Great beach retreat
Took the wife and kids for a short end of the summer trip. Had to say we were super pleased with the house. It was extremely clean and only a short walk away from the beach and community pool. Ocean Reef was really responsive every time we needed to speak to them and we look forward to coming back again in the spring time!

How long of a walk is it to the beach access?

Do you know the dimensions of the swimming pools length, width, and depth?
Cathy W - Posted: 09/07/2022

Great job finding Sandy Cheeks! This Frangista Beach vacation home includes a refreshing 10'x15' private pool with a maximum depth of 4 feet. There is no better place to cool off on a warm summer day!

Is the private pool heated?
Becki W - Posted: 02/09/2023

The private pool at Sandy Cheeks is not heated, but the community pool is typically heated during holiday weeks and spring break. Enjoy!

Are golf carts allowed?
Jennifer B - Posted: 05/15/2023
