Welcome to Casa Bahari™. An eclectic mix of Swahili and Spanish, this home’s name means Home by the Ocean. As many homes in this area are built specifically for rental, such as small bedrooms and discount furniture, Casa Bahari is our personal home that is furnished as though we live there full time. Casa Bahari is an elegantly appointed home that is spacious and quite comfortable. If "packing them in" is not your motto during vacation, this Is Your Home. This home is about 700 square foot larger than most of the other homes nearby for rental.

Casa Bahari™ is located in Destiny West, one of Destin’s most exclusive communities and within walking distance of the beaches. This lushly landscaped and meticulously maintained gated community offers a large community pool, tennis courts, and a workout facility, all within walking distance of Destin’s sugar white sand beaches. For visitors looking for a luxurious residence just off the beaten path, Casa Bahari is the perfect choice.

The outdoor experience here is quite phenomenal. Integrated spa spillover and pool. Shallow sun shelf that is 16 inches deep along with a deep end of roughly 6ft.

The area over and around the pool has string lights with Edison old style filament bulbs in them. It truly is a beautiful experience at night, I am sure you won't forget it.
