About this House

There are beach rentals, then there are beach homes.
This idyllic Destin home is a cut above your common rental and begs to be lived in and enjoyed- whether full-time or as an investment property.

Owned by a longtime hit country songwriter and guitarist, this elegant two-story coastal cottage is located in the popular Crystal Beach neighborhood of Kokomo Cove, and less than two blocks to private beach access.

This home sits on a well-manicured, fenced .17-acre lot, with three spacious bedrooms and baths, along with large living room complete with real fireplace, custom cut hardwood floors, high ceilings, and detailed trim work and molding.

Adjacent to the large living area is an open dining area and chef's kitchen, complete with solid custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and Bosch six burner gas stove. Additionally, there is a large bonus room with custom oversized billiards table, perfect for entertaining.

In back you will find a spacious deck, grilling area, large hot tub, brand new custom swimming pool (to be completed October 2026), tiki bar, garden shed, outdoor television, and beautiful landscaping.

This home just had a new metal roof and full exterior paint, spring of 2026, along with new landscaping, new pavers, and a new double-size driveway.

Sold tastefully furnished and turnkey ready to move in and enjoy or rent when you're not using it. Current rentals on the books for remainder of 2026 and a few months into coming year also.

    "I don’t live in Destin, I live in Baker, FL. I think dog owners would, give or take, like my neighborhood. It’s a farm neighborhood, but it depends on what dog they have. If they have acreage and a working dog, they’ll love it. If they have a lab or something like that, they might get run over"

    "It takes 30 minutes during the summer to get to my job and i live 5 minutes away. There should be a light in front of my current apartment complex but there isn’t, since there isn’t theres an accident there at least 2 times a month. Also there used to be a side street that residents could use to be able to bypass 98 but someone bought the property its on and has done NOTHING with the property but has COMPLETELY blocked off the road.
