'Paradise Cottage' is a spacious three-story, cottage-style home located in the heart of Crystal Beach, one of Destin's most popular communities due to its proximity to the beach, restaurants and shopping. Located on a tranquil cul-de-sac the home is just one block from the beach and within walking distance to four major shopping centers including Destin Commons where you will find Bass Pro Shop, Hard Rock Cafe and many other shops and restaurants. In addition several of Destin's finest golf resorts are within a 5 minute drive from the home.

Relax in the large jacuzzi tub in the Master Bath or take a siesta on the screened porch just off the Master Bedroom. On evenings when you want to dine in there's a large stainless steel gas grill on a shady grilling deck with plenty of cookware and a pantry full of spices and staples to make your meal a bit easier to prepare. The large open floor plan of the kitchen, dining room and living area adds to the enjoyment. As an added bonus, we have updated all of these rooms with new furnishings and accentuated the kitchen with granite, plaster backsplash and a cool coastal paint for the cabinetry including all bathrooms!

Enjoy our newly rennovated Paradise Tower which has added a Twin Day Bed w/ Trundle to the top floor! This room aslo includes a flat screen tv and additional remote A/C unit. Perfect for teens or an extra guest to enjoy the view from the top of Destin! Morning sunbathing, afternoon seabreezes and fabulous evening sunsets make the third floor deck one of the home's main attractions.

About Karen Jones

My husband and I live in Northest Alabama and have been visiting Destin all of our lives. It has been our dream to eventually live here so when we were able to purchase a home here we came a bit closer to making that dream a reality. We own a business in Gadsden Alabama manufacturing scaffolding, skid steer attachments and also manage two rental stores. Our oldest daughter graduated from Auburn University and worked at Sandestin Resort during her internship and decided to stay. Now she has two babies so we are beginning to spend more and more time here. We rent our home mostly during the summer months but spend a lot of time here during the offseason. We look forward to eventually retiring here and making Destin our permanent home.

Karen Jones purchased this house in 1998
Why Karen Jones chose Crystal Beach

Crystal Beach is such a great community for families and family vacations. Our home is located in Clipper Cove which is a circle of homes with no thru streets so even though it is within walking distance to everything it is also very peaceful. Also the beach access is only about 200 yards away and the beach there is never as crowded as other areas in Destin.

What makes this house unique

One of our favorite features of our home is the third floor deck. From there you can catch the ocean breezes while watching the boats go by. It is nice and sunny in the mornings and cool and shady for evening sunsets. Also the cul-de-sac neighborhood of Clipper Cove is great for biking, jogging or just walking and enjoying the scenery.

Excellent Vacation Home!

This home is such an excellent choice for a vacation that we rented it a second time.. Situated on a nice quiet street - perfect for youngsters. The location is superb for access to the beach, shopping and local attractions. The hosts are excellent to deal with - very helpful, courteous, friendly and professional.

Owner's Response: You know that when you have guests that choose to return to vacation at your property year after year you must be doing something right. Paradise Cottage has numerous repeat guests each season...some booking a full year ahead of time to make sure they have their "spot". It is hard to beat the location but also the fact that the home is continuously updated and fresh that also makes it appealing even to those that have stayed there before.

Our stay at this Crystal Beach Home was outstanding! Spacious home for 10 of us; nicely decorated; as we say in the military (a Hop, Skip and a Jump) to the beach and to all the shopping and site-seeing Destin has to offer.
My dealing with the property manager was great; superb communication, and extremely helpful.
LOVED OUR EXPERIENCE!

Owner's Response: I'm always trying to emphasize the positive aspects of the location of this home. No, it's not on the beach, however, it is a very short walk to the beach and you have the gulf views from the tower deck anyway. Additionally the neighborhood is located at the corner of Hwy 293 and Hwy 98 so there are 4 major shopping venues including Destin Commons that are within walking distance of the house with numerous other restaurants also within walking distance such as Camille's. Plus the home is located in a cul-de-sac neighborhood so there is very little traffic which adds to the peace and tranquility of the neighborhood.

My family and I appreciated all the extra's that you have thought of, from the kitchen staples and well stocked cabinets to the high chair and extra towels for a large family. The beautiful house was "white glove test" clean and the kids loved the crow's nest! If we come back to the area we will be booking this house again! Thank you so much for sharing this home with us, we didn't want to leave! (Kids liked it better than Magic Kingdom!!!!)

Owner's Response: We're so glad to hear you enjoyed everything! Paradise Cottage is a perfect family vacation home and now with the new updated bunk area in the crow's nest it makes it even more special for kids. Our cleaning staff continues to impress our guests and they sincerely appreciate when guests take notice of their hard work. Thanks so much for taking the time to post your review. We look forward to having you back soon!

Perfect location + Stellar Price = BEST VACATION EVER!

5 of 5
Submitted: August 29, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
We stayed at Paradise Cottage August 22-26 for a 30th birthday celebration with family. We could not have asked for a better place. There were 7 of us in total, and we had plenty of room- no one felt crowded and in fact we could have fit a couple more comfortably. I love that each bedroom has it's own bath and there are patio/outdoor lounging spaces galore! The walk to the beach is about 5-8 minutes and the community pool nearby was a great way to end the day. The only negative is that if you are carrying a lot of items to the beach, it is best to drive down to the entrance area with them and parking can be hit or miss, so there were a few times we had to drop our items off and then drive back home and walk back down. However, not the worst thing as the community and the walk to the beach are absolutely beautiful. We kept joking that the neighborhood looked like Wisteria Lane. Each house has it's own personality and is kept immaculately. The homeowner and rental contact were so accommodating and even allowed us for early check in and late check out due to our awkward flight times. We love love LOVED our stay, and will surely be back. Thank you Karen!

Owner's Response: One of the best things about Paradise Cottage is that it is great for family get-togethers or couples vacationing together as everyone has their own space yet there are numerous common areas to gather and enjoy time together both inside and outside. The quaint cottage style community is so inviting and beautiful with all the tropical landscaping and white picket fences that you hardly miss the fact that you aren't staying right on the beach. Plus with the beach only a 5 minute walk from the house you can easily walk over and enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon sunsets. We pride ourselves in tryiing to be as flexible as possible with our guests so as to make their stay as pleasurable and convenient as possible!

The house was even more wonderful than the pictures! We had a fantastic time. The house was so clean when we arrived. We loved the third floor loft area. Perfect place to let our baby nap in her pack n play and for for the kids to watch tv. The beach was gorgeous and just a short walk. Unfortunately, it rained everyday we were there, but we had a great time hanging out on all of the porch areas waiting for it to clear up so we could go to the beach. Would highly recommend this great house!

Owner's Response: One of the great things about Paradise Cottage is that there are so many areas both inside and out for one to find something fun or relaxing to do even on those unfortunate days when you can't go to the beach. Every bedroom has a TV so everyone can watch their choice of programming. Also with a grilling deck, wrap around porch with swing, 3rd floor deck with gulf views and ocean breezes as well as a screened porch you can always find a comfy spot to relax or read a book. We repeatedly get great reviews on our fantastic cleaning staff who takes great pride in their work!
