About Janet Kiley

We fell in love with Destin when we came on the BEST vacation ever in 1995! We began an annual vacation tradition that was awesome for our kids as they grew up. We love it so much here that now we live here and rent out our home, plus other homes and condos in the area. The people are friendly and the scenery just can't be beat!

Janet Kiley purchased this house in 2004
Why Janet Kiley chose Crystal Beach

We owned a Gulf front condo for many years and realized we wanted something bigger so our kids could bring friends when we came on vacation. We purchased this house in the middle of constructions, which was great because we could add some of our own touches before it was finished (surround sound, etc.). This area of Crystal Beach has a great, short, almost level beach access, and the home is just a few yards away. We love the area because you have the conveniences of restaurants and stores very close by, yet the neighborhood is quiet and very family-oriented.

What makes this house unique

We tried to think of just about everything you need so you don't have to load your car to the brim with 'stuff.' Just bring a swimsuit and towel, and you are set! We really enjoy entertaining, so we furnished our home with conveniences that make entertaining a breeze. We hope you enjoy everything Skipper's Escape as to offer!

Best House in Crystal Beach!

5 of 5
Submitted: September 24, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
My husband and I have been going to Crystal Beach for the last 7 years and we have finally found the ultimate house that has everything you need for a great vacation!! We've stayed in bigger houses on the beach and this house is our favorite. The home owner has done an amazing job making sure you have all the amenities you need for the beach and house. We used the beach umbrella and cart every day to take our stuff to the beach. My daughter was so excited to see a wagon there, because we didn't have room to bring one. The house had plenty of bathroom towels for all the rooms. Games and movies were provided for rainy days. The location is a perfect walk to the beach, and shopping center's. I usually send hours looking for the perfect vacation house for our stay and I'm so excited that I can finally stop looking, because we will definately be renting this house every year. I can't say enough about the amazing job the home owner has done to make your family vacation a lasting memorable one. Thank you so much!

Fantastic Accomodations!!

Skipper's Escape was perfect! It is more spacious than the pictures show. Plenty of room and space for our children and grandchildren. All of our needs were met. Less than a block to the beautiful beach made it easy with little ones. It was the most relaxing trip, beautiful pool and view. Janet and Chris were very attentive to make sure our stay was enjoyable. Can't wait to go again!

Good Times

Submitted: July 4, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
Brought my family who are from the North to see first hand why I love Destin and its surroundings. And by the end of the week they were sold! From the perfect house to the white beaches we all had a wonderful time. This particular property was spacious and clean and a short walk to the beach. The kids enjoyed the convenience of the pool after a day at the beach. Many laughs and good times were made. And Janet, the owner, was friendly and easy to contact if needed. Would definitely stay there again.

Owner's Response: Glad your family was sold on Destin! We are originally from the north and fell in love with Destin immediately. We hope to have you back sometime soon! Thanks again for staying with us!

A week in Florida

5 of 5
Submitted: June 11, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
The house is exactly as advertised. It is a beautiful home only one block from the beach. Our entire family of 10 adults 2 teenagers a 4yr. old and 7mo. old baby stayed for a week and everyone had a bed. The property was clean and well maintained with a nice pool area landscaping and a heated pool.This was our first visit to Florida and it made this visit very enjoyable. Janet Kiley was a pleasure to work with and very responsive to any questions or additional needs. The beach was white sand and beautiful. I would highly recommend this property if you have a large group.

A beautifully decorated, yet comfortable, home just a block from the beach with great amenities. Exceptionally clean with a wonderful private pool in the backyard. Close to shopping and other area amenities. Very gracious and helpful owner, who knows the area well. I would HIGHLY recommend this home ~ was even better than the photos! Hope to return for another stay in the future ~ it could not have been nicer!
