Ocean views! Direct beach access! Want to walk out of your front door into the sand? Want breathtaking ocean views from every floor? Want to avoid insanely-crowded beaches and impossible-to-find beach parking? Want to be close to premier shopping, dining and activities? Need sleeping capacity for 22 people? Although your list sounds impossible, Shipwatch’s extremely unique location checks all of your boxes! Unlike most of our area’s homes that share super-crowded public beaches with thousands of other vacation rental properties, Shipwatch is set on a very private street with no public parking that dead-ends into the sugar sand beaches that made Destin famous. The result? Unlike our elbow-to-elbow public beaches, Shipwatch’s neighborhood beach access is only practical for the very lucky visitors to the 28 homes on its street. With Shipwatch, there’s no need to load up the hot car to get to the beach or drag a cooler for blocks during a steaming Florida summer only to have to fight with thousands of other visitors for your spot in the sand. With Shipwatch, leave your car in the driveway. Simply walk out the back fence gate directly onto a neighborhood beach access. Yep, at Shipwatch you are only 30 seconds away from one of the least crowded, most-rewarding beach experiences possible along Florida’s famous Emerald Coast! By being adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico, you’ll be able to genuinely enjoy our amazing ocean while on the beach; smell and hear the ocean while grilling next to Shipwatch’s (seasonally heated between October 1 and April 30) pool, and soak in the amazing ocean views from every one of Shipwatch’s floors. Located on a quiet road off of Scenic Gulf Drive (which is Destin and Miramar Beach’s premiere beach area), Shipwatch truly offers the best of both worlds: central to activities, dining, and the Gulf’s largest premium outlet mall, yet away from the millions who visit our area each year. Trust me, this combination is nearly impossible to find. Not a worn out rental. Recently renovated Shipwatch features quartz counters, stainless appliances, designer furnishings, premium mattresses and furnishings...all in a fun, spa-chic style! Shipwatch offers a first floor king suite, three second floor king suites, 2 bunk rooms and a third floor widow’s watch with stunning ocean views that offer daybeds for a whopping sleeping capacity of 22! You've never paddleboarded? Well here's your chance! Shipwatch includes two free inflatable paddleboards. (The inflatables are more stable and make it much easier to learn.) This property will certainly book soon! Don’t settle for a far-too-typical crowded beach experience! Reserve your preferred dates for Shipwatch...and it's almost impossible-to-find location... before it’s too late! \----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Airport Distances: Destin FL (VPS) - 22.6 miles Panama City FL (ECP) 44.2 miles Pensacola FL (PNS) 61.2 miles \----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shipwatch Bed, Bath and Sleeping Layout: First Floor : Bedroom 1.

Check out time is 10:00 AM CST. Our staff needs time to properly clean, sanitize, inspect and maintain the property. Because the property is extremely heavily booked we are unable to offer early check ins, late check outs, early parking or luggage drop offs. NOTE: Guests are not permitted to have anything shipped or mailed (through a carrier such as USPS, UPS, or Fedex) to the property. Please be aware that the property does not have postal service and your packages will most likely be returned by the carrier.

NOTE: If you would like to reserve VRBO more than 11 months in advance, you must use the VRBO website, rather than the VRBO app. The VRBO app only shows the calendar for up to 11 months which means that it can only be used for reservations less than a year away.

Sorry, no exceptions. NOTE: Sorry, no pets. No emotional support animals (ESA). No exceptions. Many of our Guests have pet allergies and rely on us to provide a pet free environment.
