About this property
Destin Harbor Haven sleeps 8, pet friendly, near beach
Welcome to Destin Harbor Haven! Located on iconic Holiday Isle, this fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome is the perfect getaway for families, friends, or anyone looking to soak up the best of Destin. Comfortably sleeping 8, you'll find two king bedrooms plus a bunk room featuring a Full XL over Queen - ideal for kids or extra guests. This modern coastal farmhouse cottage townhome has been completely renovated from top to bottom, with no detail overlooked. Need a little work-life balance on vacation? Head up to the private loft, which doubles as a fully built-in office space and a cozy game room. It's stocked with bean bags, board games, and a TV - perfect for keeping the kids entertained while the adults unwind.
Step out onto the upstairs deck off the king bedroom and enjoy front-row seats to the Monday and Thursday night fireworks over the Harbor (during Summer season). Out back, you'll find a fully fenced-in backyard oasis complete with string lights, a grill, dining table, sand play area, and room for a pup - because we're pet friendly (with an additional non refundable fee). While the home doesn't have a direct water view, the harbor is just steps away - and with Destin Harbor, Crab Island, and the Harborwalk just minutes away by water taxi or boat, you're in the heart of it all. Beaches like O'Steen Beach, Norriego Point, and the jetties are just a short walk (0.3 mi), with additional Holiday Isle private beach access gates less than a mile away.

We had the most amazing time at this property! From the moment we walked in, everything was spotless — the cleanliness was truly impressive. The home is beyond cute with so many thoughtful touches that make it cozy and welcoming. The backyard is absolutely incredible — spacious, beautifully maintained, and perfect for relaxing or letting the pups run around. It’s such a rare treat to find a place this pet-friendly while still being so clean and stylish!One of our favorite details was the “Fav Gems” wall the host put together, featuring pictures and local restaurant recommendations (complete with daily specials!). It was such a creative and personal way to help us discover the best spots in town.We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Between the charm, comfort, and that amazing outdoor space, this property is a total gem. We’ll definitely be back!

The beds were with sand, the floor and a few other things, kitchen utensils with leftovers of food made previously!
Such a wonderful stay! The location was perfect and so close to the beach which had the most beautiful sunsets! We loved the outdoor area, all the space, and amenities! Will be recommending to anyone we know wanting to stay in the area!
