Pool | Quiet Street | Steps to Beach | Chef's Kitchen | Large Yard

Hemingway's Hideout Professionally Managed by Newman-Dailey LOCATION is EVERYTHING! Imagine a true Florida Beach Cottage on a private, dead-end street with private beach access and private pool. Enjoy the sea breeze sitting under shady oaks with a cold drink in your hand. If Hemingway traveled north of Key West, he surely would have enjoyed this Destin beach cottage, reminiscent of what you might find in the keys. This lovely vacation home would be a place after his own heart. Less than a 5 minute walk to the beach; surrounded by the unique shady oaks that Northwest Florida is known for; wrapped in several peaceful porches and has a private pool in the large backyard. We think this wonderful cottage will have you coming back for more. This home makes it so easy to enjoy what we came here for—the relaxation and beauty of some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. It is ideally located in the Crystal Beach area near The Destin Commons, grocery stores, award-winning restaurants and many recreational activities nearby. It’s location in Kokomo Cove has dedicated neighborhood beach access and is adjacent to the bike trail that runs along the beach and meets up with shops and eateries. While it’s true that the locale of Hemingway’s Hideout is fantastic, this beach vacation rental is more than just a dot on the map! Apart from an eclectic and attractive coastal décor, it has a modern kitchen stocked with all you’ll need for a culinary adventure, a full laundry room, and flat screen TVs in each room. It’s not so big you need a map to navigate but feels very open and airy with 10’ ceilings on the main level. Moreover, the top floor is accessible via a spiral staircase and has a wonderful 360 degree balcony that offers beautiful views of sunsets over Crystal Beach and a partial Gulf view. The backyard is also poetic. A large private pool is surrounded by plush outdoor furnishings, and a grill. In fact, don’t be surprised if you feel like living a short story of your own as you bask in this sunny oasis.

This pool can be heated between October- April for a fee upon request to our office. There is an additional charge for heating requests within 48 hours of check-in.

For safety and security, this vacation rental home is equipped with an external camera/ring doorbell.

Summer Vacation
The property was small but very pretty and appeared newly remodeled. It was comfortable enough for 6 people. The pool area was beautiful. We really enjoyed having a pool to jump into after the beach. The beach is only a short walk from the house. There are only minimum starter items in the home and there were no beach towels, chairs, umbrellas or a wagon to use for trips to the beach. Also, you cannot get to the pool through the house, you have to use the front door to walk around to the back yard even though there are 2 side entries leading to the wrap around pouch, both with signs stating do not use. This was an inconvenience when taking food or items to the pool area. There is a beautiful spiral staircase, but the air didn't reach the top, therefore making the room unusable and the TV was only for DVD use upstairs. Also all closets are packed full of the owners items leaving no room to put clothes, especially in the bunk room. The closest was locked for owner use only. There was no TV in the room with bunk beds. Also, window covering would be nice in the kitchen and living room. Beautiful property and great location but I would not rent again.

This property was good. The thing that made it worth our stay was the pool and proximity to the beach. It was further away from shopping and restaurants, but if you’re planning to stay in, this is a great place. Bunk room tv didn’t work, and a few kitchen items were missing. Overall was happy with the experience.

Cute and comfortable home
We enjoyed the accommodations at this property as well as its proximity to the beach. The backyard is a private oasis with heated pool and made this an ideal property even on cool, cloudy days. We appreciated the landscaping and ample shade In the yard. The kids loved the “clubhouse” upstairs above the tree line. The kitchen and bathrooms are beautifully furnished. The shady front porch was lovey for sipping drinks and playing board games together.

Spectacular kitchen accommodated our family cooking competition, our way of having fun eating in all the time due to Covid risks. Location to beach was awesome. Little tight for 6 adults. Suggest a change to an oval or ellipse Dining table to have head clearance walking around spiral staircase. Beautiful finishes. Quartzite counters stunning.

Wonderful place to relax in Destin
The property and neighborhood were both great. The beach is just at the end of the street with a private beach entrance. You're not ON the beach, but you're super close. Beds were good (I would say medium firmness), pool was clean and well positioned, and the kitchen was big. We did have a problem with the master toilet. But the management company and the owner took care of it the same morning we called them. Many thanks for the incredibly fast response! Overall, we had a great time.

Fantastic Beach House!!!
We absolutely loved staying at Hemingway's Hideout! The location was perfect and the pool was amazing! The only thing was that the spiral staircase was a bit too tempting for my little children which was worrying for me as they wanted to go upstairs to the bunk beds and onto the veranda! Maybe putting a bolt across the door at the top would be an idea? Overall though, we loved the property and will be back!

Easy Living
I rented this house with some friends for a week in May of 2019. The property management company was very easy to work with and soon enough we found ourselves a few houses down from the beach. Before I get to the good parts there are a few discrepancies, and most of them I spoke to the property management company about. Upon arrival most of the exterior lights on the house were burn out. The lights on the outdoor umbrella and the grill shade "tent" were dead and gave off zero light. The back yard and patio had lots of weeds growing about. Other than that though there were a few minor things that I think the owners should address. In the Master Bath, the tile is cracked and the toilet just moves around on the floor as it's not caulked. The Master bath itself is extremely slippery. Quite a few outlets in the house were "loose" when it came to our plugs. We'd have to sit there and get them to JUST the right spot for our phones to charge. HOWEVER, none of those things affected our happiness with our decision and our time spent in Destin and at this location. We absolutely loved and would certainly come back.

Amazing week
Everyone had a fabulous time at the Hideway. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook. The walk to the beach was short. We felt like we were away from the hectic beach traffic but were close to everything.

Nice house, get location
We enjoyed are stay.. the pool took forever to be heated, we had to leave the water running all day and night and the lights didn’t work in the back so when it got dark the kids had to get out of the pool! We didn’t have neighbors on either side but everyone turned around in our drive way which shined the lights right into the front bedroom and woke everyone up all night.. other then that it was great! A short walk to the beach it was not direct access but a quick 3 minute walk.. we stayed during spring break and it was surprisingly quiet

Great beach cottage
First, Newman Dailey, the property management company, was wonderful to work with, great staff. The property had everything we were looking for; we only have one constructive criticism, the newer designer light bulbs provide little light. As a result the rooms are very dark, hard to read. Recommend putting more efficient LEDs in the second bedroom and bath and finding candle bulbs with more lumens for the kitchen and family room.
