Destin 3BR 3 BA Retreat—Private Pool, Steps to Beach, Perfect Summer Getaway!

“Off The Clock” is a stunning, one-of-a-kind property. It is a three bedroom, three bath home in the Crystal Beach neighborhood. This house was professionally decorated and furnished with no expense beings spared on selections for your comfort and pleasure. Better yet, it is a short stroll to our world famous white sandy beach and emerald, green water!

We have a designated beach “set-up” (two chairs and an umbrella) during the season (March through October). We are located steps from the beach with a beautiful private backyard retreat offering a *heated pool, outdoor shower, and a propane grill off the side entry of the yard. Perfect for cooking your fresh-caught gulf seafood! We have extra beach chairs and an umbrella to throw in our beach wagon so that your entire family can camp out for the day at the beach. We even included a heavy-duty cooler with beach wheels! The house is so close to the beach that you can come and go back and forth all day long. Once you’ve enjoyed enough of the beach, come back to the house, and indulge in the private heated 12 x 24 salt water swimming pool with generous deck space and multiple seating areas for socializing. The large grassy backyard is perfect for a game of catch or Frisbee!

100% Beachy Vibes

A great place to stay right near the beach. Newly renovated, beautiful inside with a coastal aesthetic and vibe. The thought and detail is fantastic with a very well equipped kitchen, as well as equipment for the beach. Everything has been thought through. The hosts were very communicative and make a great effort to look after you. Highly recommend!

BOOK THE HOUSE!

We treated our high school grads to a trip to Destin, and this beach house was absolutely perfect! The moment we walked in, we were blown away—the space was warm, beautifully decorated, and incredibly inviting. Honestly, it was so comfortable that we almost didn’t want to leave to explore!But when we did, the beach was just steps away—so close that we could easily walk back and forth throughout the day. Morning coffee on the balcony or afternoons in the gorgeous pool in the back yard relaxing—it was everything we hoped for and more. And the customer service was stellar! If you’re even thinking about booking, do it. You won’t regret it.

Fun beach house

We really enjoyed bringing the family to Destin. The house was a short walk to the beach, and the two chairs and umbrella reserved there made it easy to always have a spot. The backyard heated pool was a great place to relax before dinner. Good location a short drive to shopping and dining. The house was clean and everything in good shape, and property management was very easy to communicate with before check in and while on site. Highly recommended!

Relaxing “Destin”ation

Loved our stay in beautiful Destin this spring. This is our 3rd year in a row visiting the Crystal Beach area. This home is charming, exceptionally clean and has everything you could think of to make your stay a dream. We loved the heated pool, spacious back yard and how near you are to the white sandy beach. We will definitely look to stay at “Off the Clock” again next year. Till then.

Family Getaway

We absolutely loved this house! The property manager was wonderful and responded quickly with any questions that we had. The house is beautiful and well-outfitted and it was the perfect size for the six of us. We loved having our own pool and the backyard had a very fun atmosphere, and we also enjoyed just being a block away from the beach! We used the reserved beach chairs every day we were there. We will definitely stay there again when we are back in the area.

Great Family Vacation

Everything about the stay was great. The host, Louise, communicated with us continuously and was very helpful. The house is beautiful, clean, and we had no surprises. We spent the mornings at the beach which was just a short easy walk even with two kids under 2. The pool and backyard was great for the afternoons. We would highly recommend this property to other families.

The property is absolutely beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The check in process was easy, the location was perfect- a very quick walk to the beach, the property manager, Louise and owner, Cliff, both checked in with us and were very responsive. The house has every amenity you could need, including beach equipment, the pool was so much fun and we did not want to leave! Thank you so much for hosting us! We hope to return soon.

“Off the Clock” extravagance!

The property was even nicer in person than it looked in the listing photos. The property was immaculate when we arrived and the location couldn’t be beat! There are so shops, restaurants and grocery stores within a short drive. Not to mention the beautiful sandy beach was less than a 10 minute walk away. The property manager, Louise, was incredibly easy to communicate with and very attentive to any and all needs. No detail was missed with this property and we can’t wait to come back! PS: there is a private pool and personal oasis in the backyard!! Robert J

Clean and high quality

Beautiful home with very nice towels, bedding and pillows. The most well stocked kitchen I’ve ever rented from through VRBO. It felt fresh and clean every time we walked in the door. The pool was fantastic and was quite refreshing all day and into the evening in spite of our heat index of 110+! The property managers were easy to reach and easy to work with. We rented a golf cart for the week which made our vacation complete.

Everything about the stay was flawless. The instructions and communication prior to arrival were complete and clear. The property was beautiful, clean, kitchen was better equipped than most homes. The location is just a few minute walk to beach. The reserved umbrella and chairs on beach were perfect. Also the wagon and beach chairs provided by owner were nice too.

Perfect Destin House with Great Location

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was beachy and modern with tasteful decor. It is adorable. We greatly appreciated the relaxing covered porches, large televisions, fluffy towels, and the spacious master bath. The driftwood floors were gorgeous, clean, and easy to swiffer for sand. We really enjoyed night swims in the heated saltwater pool complete with string lights and firepit warmth. And, to top it all off, we loved the proximity to the beach and inlcuded beach wagon and chair/umbrella set-up. We will definitely return!

Beautiful Destin-ation

This was our second time in Destin and what a beautiful home to stay this year. We wanted a place with more room and close to the beach with a pool and "off the clock" did not disappoint. It felt like we were at a hotel with the linens and towels and those beds were beyond comfy! The kids loved the heated pool and I loved the back yard. We cooked out and went for night swims often, and the firepit made a great place to sit and warm up at night. The place had it all, location, amenities, superb hosts (thank you for the welcome basket by the way!) and great layout of all the rooms. We had a perfect week and wanted to thank you for such a lovely home for us to stay in.

The perfect family getaway!

This property is exceptional! Every detail was so thoughtfully done about this house. The grounds were so well manicured, inside of the house was comfy with chic-minimal-beachy decor. We had our parents (70’s) stay downstairs in the king bed, and our family of 4 had the upstairs. Our favorite part hands down was the big shower upstairs with a square rain shower head. The walk to the beach was short and convenient. We will be back

The house was exactly as pictured in the listing but even better in person. Very clean, FULLY stocked kitchen and cute backyard. Location was great! Very short walk to the beach (so short that our kids didn't even complain :)) This was our first time back to Destin in four years and this house exceeded our expectations. The weather was cooler than we were hoping for, but the heated pool made up for it. Highly recommend this rental. Owners have done a great job with the house and all it has to offer. Huge thank you to the property manager, Louise, as well for making sure we had everything we needed!

We fell in love with Off The Clock! Great location. As a perfectionist myself lol I was super satisfied on how clean and perfect everything was! There was everything we needed plus more. We enjoyed the pool and the yard was great, we played volley ball and brought our projector for movie night! The kids had a blast!! The walk to the beach was just 2 minutes as said. Louise was amazing! The house made our first time to Destin that much more better! We will definitely be staying here again in the future!
