STAY ON THE BEACH-HOME BUILT ON BEACH-STEP OFF UR DECK ONTO UR OWN PRVT BEACH!

Welcome to "Beachfront Haven" (Green Reef 13) - your beach home away from home! Experience a Destin beach vacation like no other!

Renovated beachfront townhome (built on the sand not across the street) with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. (5th bedroom is for smaller people)

We just finished up the major remodeling of the entire town home in mid-2020. This unit is gorgeous, brand new and wonderful! Green Reef is a high-demand beachfront complex of only 20 total units with EXCLUSIVE PRIVATE BEACH FOR EACH HOME AS EACH HOME OWNS ITS OWN BEACH SO THE ONLY PEOPLE ON YOUR SLICE OF BEACH IS FOR YOU AND YOUR GUESTS- YOU DO NOT SHARE YOUR BEACH WITH ANYONE ELSE FROM CORNER TO CORNER OF YOUR BEACH DECK DOWN TO WHERE THE PUBLIC WALKS ALONG THE WATER (most private beaches share the beach with people in a complex, subdivision or high rise- not here the backyard/ beach is ALL yours! WE are built on the sand not across the street. The only way to get closer to the water is to be on a boat.

** LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! **

Beachfront Haven is located in one of Destin's most iconic beachfront communities, Green Reef! Stay right on the beach with your own private beach!

No need to haul your beach stuff across the street, down any sidewalks, through any buildings, down any elevators!! No beach cart or buggy necessary!!! No need to walk aimlessly trying to find an open spot on the beach to settle down, and no need to fight any other people for a good beach setup spot! NOPE.

Just step RIGHT OFF THE DECK into the beautiful white powdery Destin sand of your own PRIVATE BEACH!

This beachfront Destin townhome is only a short distance to a few restaurants, so you can quickly and easily walk (on the street or on the beach) for lunch, happy hour/drinks, or dinner!
- 0.2 mi - Kenny D's
- 0.2 mi - Captain Dave's
- 0.4 mi - The Crab Trap
- 0.9 mi - Pompano Joe's

< 4 mi - SHOPPING (Silver Sands Premium Outlets, Destin Commons)
< 4 mi - DINING (besides the walkable ones mentioned above... Whale's Tail, 790 on the Gulf, Camille's, Surf Hut - a few of our faves! *Plus many others - Italian, Mexican, Asian, all types of cuisine!)

Perfect location!!
We wanted a property on the beach and this beautiful home was exactly that! Very roomy and our family was comfortable. If you are looking to step off your deck onto the beautiful powder sand of Destin, this is the place. Communication with our Property Manager, Kimberly, was excellent every step of the way. We hope to return next year!!

Very nice property with great views. Very spacious and nice beach front location. The 5th bed room was very very small and because it’s the only bedroom on the main floor would not use it for a child but overall we had an awesome time. Thank you for letting us stay.

Private beach spot!!
This is the second time my family has stayed at this property. We absolutely love that we step off the deck to a private beach spot. We can come and go from the beach to the house very easily and as frequently as needed throughout the day. My 70 year old parents enjoyed the patios with high chairs and umbrellas to sit out of sun and enjoy watching the beach. Also makes it very convienient that Kenny Ds is right across the street. No driving necessary to get seafood every night. Its alot of money but has provided my family with great memories.
