I am the owner and we manage this house with care - see the reviews! **See our new house in same area, 4 blocks from Chill Pill - called "Blue Barracuda Destin" (Barracuda Street). SLEEPS 24 IN BEDS but with 8 King suites and 6 twins!**
Just what the doctor ordered - take your "Chill Pill" - find us at VacationsByDana! Slow down, and get some R&R with family and friends. Walk across the street to our free chair service for 6 on the beach. Shoot a game of pool or challenge your teens at the shuffleboard table for some quality time in our spacious living room that never feels crowded. Take a dip in our heated private pool and walk to Camille's coffee shop or restaurants. Destin Commons only a few blocks to walk - has 85+ restaurants/shops incl Bass Pro Shop, movies, bowling at Uncle Bucks, ice cream, etc.

++ this is a neighborhood with some full-time residents. We do not host party groups, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and weddings and other events are not allowed. It's a family-friendly area. Please keep that in mind when deciding if this is a good fit for you.
++ CAMERA NOTE: There is a ring-style doorbell camera pointed out from front door. This allows us to monitor parking, putting out and retrieving trash bins, and protecting our property in the off-season. There are no other cameras. ***.
