Important Notes:

The boats shown in the photos are privately owned and are not part of the rental. Guests are not permitted to touch, board, or interfere with them at any time. These boats may remain docked during your stay, which could occasionally affect canal views or access to the seawall. Any damage caused will be the guest’s responsibility.

From time to time, a local boat captain and crew may visit the dock to service or check on the boats. During these visits, they may also access a secured, designated area of the garage.

Area Attractions: 

An easy walk along the beach will take you to the jetties, where the Gulf of Mexico and Destin Harbor meet, a spot well-known for great snorkeling and fishing. Here you can also watch boats going out deep-sea fishing and returning from the Gulf to the harbor.
