*Here's a walkthrough of DEST-ZEN*
Upon entering our home with our keyless entry, you'll feel our coastal ZEN vibes right away! The first floor (garage space) is directly to the left when walking in. This is definitely where we envision our guests chilling out & having fun! In here you'll find a full size washer and dryer, propane grill (for outdoor use only), a cozy sleeper sofa, big screen SmartTv, Ping Pong table, Foosball coffee table, beach items, and just a little extra space to enjoy! This space is air conditioned with its own mini-split a/c unit for the comfort of guests staying here during their trip.
Upstairs you'll enter directly into the dining & kitchen area. Our kitchen boasts stainless appliances, dishes, silverware, pots & pans, bakeware, toaster, blender, crockpot-pretty much everything you'll need for meals away from home. A small dining table & chairs means plenty of room for eating in or working from home! A balcony right off the dining area means another area to kick back and enjoy your time at Dest-Zen.
A bonus for our guests is our coffee & wine bar situated right in the center of the home. We have glasses for your drink of choice, a Hamilton Beach Flexbrew Coffee Maker (for those that enjoy both standard coffee & Keurig!), a wine & beer cooler, and an ice maker! Enjoy!
We also include a pack & play, plastic dishes/cups, and a high chair for little travelers!
Our living room brings in plenty of natural light with the balcony & windows. Enjoy a cup of coffee and a peek of the harbor canal on the balcony patio set, or even the fireworks to the left on the Harbor during a sweet summer Thursday night. We have a couch, occasional chair, and a few poufs for seating around the big screen SmartTV with Cable included for guests-feel free to login to any other streaming service you choose to travel with as well! We've added a few board games in the cabinet for rainy days, or just something to keep the kids occupied!
A small half bath is located between the kitchen & living spaces with a toilet & sink for convenience.
The third floor is where both bedrooms can be found. To the right of the staircase, is the first master bedroom with a King sized bed & SmartTv with complimentary cable. The en-suite bathroom has a shower and tub combo, toilet and sink, and a nice walk in closet for luggage storage during your stay. This bedroom offers a private balcony as well.
To the left from the stairway, the second master bedroom can be found with a Queen sized bed & SmartTv with complimentary cable. This room boasts it's own balcony that overlooks the Harbor canal water to the right, an en-suite full bathroom with a shower/tub combo, and ample closet space.
The modern vibe throughout our condo will make it a space you will certainly feel pure coastal bliss and we can't wait to host you at your new favorite Destin spot!
A few important items to keep in mind:
-You will have access to the entire three floors of this spacious condo. There are steps to access each floor, with no elevator in any area. This is not a good fit for those with mobility issues.
-Although we have a beautiful dock off the back of the building, we are NOT permitted to rent our boat slip to guests. Guests can enjoy being picked up by the water taxi, or fishing off the back dock if desired! Our HOA restricts the use of the boat slip to owners only. We can NOT accommodate watercraft or trailer parking of any kind, at any time. No RVs or Box trucks are permitted.
-The exclusive gated beach access is only ten homes away and we provide an assortment of floats, chairs, and toys for your convenience!
-All linens are provided for any length of stay, with a washer and dryer in the unit if needed for longer trips. We supply a small courtesy amount of toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, laundry detergent, dishwasher/dish soap, and hand soap that's typically enough for the first 24 hours of your stay. For larger groups or longer trips it is recommended that you bring additional supplies as seen fit for your group size/length of stay.
-The parking is very limited here. We have a designated space, but its a very tight fit for larger vehicles. There are visitor spots located in the complex lot, as well as public parking directly across the street from the complex for any additional or larger vehicles. We cannot permit parking in front of the units at any time. We do NOT offer boat/trailer/watercraft parking or docking at any time as it is not permitted by our HOA.
-Unfortunately, we are not pet friendly at this location due to HOA restrictions.
