5⭐️ Destin Retreat 2 Houses + Loft Heated Pool🌞Bikes🌞Golf Cart 🏝️Beachside🏝️2 Kings

*Summer 24 is set for 7 night stays Friday to Friday…beat the crowds and traffic on Saturdays!!
Walk into the private gates of our beautifully landscaped house and you will feel as if you are staying in your own compound. This is no doubt the most unique set up in all of Crystal Beach. The 75ft x 150ft oversized lot allows plenty of parking. The courtyard/pool area is totally enclosed creating a sense of privacy while actually being in the center of everything.

This property was purchased by new owners (Nov 2020) and has had plenty of upgrades and refinements since purchased! From technology to new luxury furniture and decor, you will not be disappointed. Our guests are in awe the second they walk into the homes featuring 11 different cheerful room colors.

POOL:The pool is 5 ½ ft deep (3ft at shallow end) and has been converted to a salt water. Not to confuse this with water in the gulf. It simply takes salt and converts it to chlorine making it feel silky and smooth. Approx. size is 12’x20’

Enjoy the gulf breeze in a 6 seater Street Legal Golf Cart. No hassle with going to pick it up. It’ll be here waiting on you when you arrive. Included complementary with your stay. Min 3-night rental off season and 7-night minimum June/July.

Beach Vacation
I cannot say enough about our stay at Gigi’s paradise. The golf card provided kept us less than one minute from the beach. The property was very beautiful and comfortable and decorated as the perfect beach home. The owner returned an answer to a question for me within 30 minutes. I would highly recommend this little piece of paradise! Very clean, very comfortable and very convenient. Thank you for sharing your home.

Simply Stunning and Perfect in Every Way
I cannot praise this property / owner enough. Our vacation was perfect. Nestled in a beachy subdivision this place was amazing. We had privacy, a quiet neighborhood, close to the beach with a golf cart and bikes. Bright Cheerful Large Rooms, lovely pool, close to everything with all the amenities you could possibly need. We found more when we were packing up to leave that we never noticed. We are already planning our next vacation and unanimously we will be booking this property. Char was amazing and very responsive. I cannot give this experience enough praise

Fantastic Stay
We had 8 adults/adult children for a week’s stay at GiGi’s Paradise. It was exactly as described. The house is very well equipped from the kitchen to the wifi, pool toys, new grill, ping pong, bikes, golf cart etc. It was very clean and big enough to comfortably take more than our 8 (plus small dog). The golf cart is incredibly convenient as the beach, groceries, restaurants etc are very nearby. Last, Car, the property owner/manager was extremely communicative and responsive to questions. We even chose to stay an additional night. We have stayed at many VRBOs and highly recommend this property!!

Fun and Family Friendly
This was the first 'family' vacation for myself, my brothers, parents and our extended families having taken together. This property suited us well as it gave everyone enough space to both be together and alone at the same time depending on the day/time, etc. With 5 grown (15-20) aged children there was something everyone could enjoy and the proximity to the beach, shopping, restaurants, etc. was ideal!

Highly Recommend Staying Here!
The property owner was easily accessible and very responsive. She accommodated our needs to make sure our stay was the best! We had a late flight but she worked with us to keep our luggage there until we had to leave. By far one of the best family vacations we have had. There was more space than we expected with plenty of beds for kids, toddlers, and adults. Roll out beds were great for the kids that wanted their own space. Great location! Only minutes from the beach, mall, and restaurants. Property was very clean and had everything we needed not only for cooking but for the beach. We highly recommend this vacation rental. Can’t wait for our next trip here! Golf cart and pool was a plus! The kids loved it

Fantastic Family Vacation Home!!
GiGi Sunshine was a fantastic vacation home for our family vacation. The 2 houses and loft were the perfect amount of space for all of us! Having the pool on the property was great for my grand-kids and my elderly parents and the golf cart made it so easy to go to the beach-especially since my mom has such a hard time walking. The pool temp was perfect and the accommodations were very comfortable and clean. The property manager, Car was very easy to work with and found it very easy to communicate with. We will definitely be staying at GiGi's again!

Amazing Stay
One of the things that sticks out the most with this property is that we had rough weather for part of our trip but the layout and amenities made it our savior for enjoying the trip no matter what! With multiple units we had space to gather but also separate. There was an amazing sliding door in the main house that opened a whole wall for perfect indoor/outdoor living. The golf cart was AMAZING but also we realized this place is so close to the beach we could easily walk as well! The rooms were clean, great kitchens, comfortable beds, plenty of towels, entertainment in the garage, more than enough beach gear, the list goes on and on. Most impressive was the owner communication! I don’t think I had more than a few minutes wait for any of my questions. Incredible response time and we definitely felt the love from the owner. Could not recommend this place more and next time we hit Destin this is where we are staying without a doubt. Thank you for the amazing stay!

LOVED this property!
Our family LOVED this property! It doesn't sound right to call it a house because there were 3 buildings available for our use. Our adult children stayed in the guest house, the teenager stayed in the room over the garage, and the main house was for mom and dad and the littles - PERFECT for our family. No drama, just relaxing!!! We loved the set up of everything - the location to the beach was also perfect. We had the golf cart but ended up walking almost everywhere because it was just that close! The owner thought of everything. We actually brought a bunch of things she already provided - now we know better for next time! We can't wait to book for next year - just waiting on the kids' school calendar!

Perfect accommodation and location
This was the perfect stay for our four families. With main house, guest house and loft there was plenty of space to hang together and also additional privacy for each family. Location was perfect as it was just a short walk to beach or restaurants and stores and if you didn’t want to walk, the golf cart was available for use. Owner was very responsive and open to questions and requests. This is a must stay place if you plan to visit Destin and want the ability to lay by the pool, hang at beach and visit all the area has to offer.
