Isn't it easy to get sick of work, sick of stress and sick of a fast-paced life these days! The cure? A quiet getaway at Doctor's Orders in Kokomo Cove! This Destin vacation rental sits just enough off the beaten path to offer real peace and tranquility- there are no parking lots, cement jungles or noisy neighbors here! It's wooded surroundings encompass views of two inlets of Destiny West lake speckled with charming wildlife that call it home.

Another pleasant side effect of Doctor's Orders is its location near Destin's most powerful medicine- the soothing Gulf of Mexico. Head two blocks from the front porch and see the sun sparkling on the emerald water like diamonds, feel the powder-soft sand between your toes and listen to the rustle of sea oats in the Gulf Breeze. That powerful combination is sure to heal whatever ails you! You'll be able to control the camera presented by our closest restaurant on the beach, The CrabTrap. Our private beach is a couple hundred feet to the right of this public beach and usually has roughly one tenth the people on it!)

Kokomo Cove's entry also crosses a newly paved walking path that stretches the length of the beach road. Restaurants, shops and even golf courses dot this scenic route and provide entertaining waypoints for a sunny bike ride. We provide chairs, and umbrellas and carts to make it easier to carry down to the beach!

DoctorsOrdersDestin #2 was completely renovated in 2018 and we continue to perform upgrades each season. Your home by the sea features a calming interior with worry-free Onyx Tile floors, a beautifully updated kitchen and new HD TV's. Additional 'recovery aids' include an eye-catching oceanscape décor, the convenience of a laundry room as well as the luxury of a Jacuzzi bath in the master suite. Plus, the private pool deck, two balconies with water views and a private grill are extra perks to this rejuvenating vacation home.

DoctorsOrdersDestin Covid-19 Updated Safety Measures

When you stay at one of the DoctorsOrdersDestin Vacation Beach House Rentals, you do not encounter a front desk agent. You do not pass strangers in hallways. You do not share an elevator, lobby or commons area with the public. You simply arrive at your beach house armed with an entry code. After logging the code onto the sterilized keypad, your group enters your luxury vacation home that's just what the Doctor Ordered!

Our beach houses are in a secluded location at the end of a quiet street. This seclusion will give added comfort that few strangers will be around. Each house has its own private pool that is cleaned and chlorinated not once, but twice a week for your safety and enjoyment. Our private beach is one of the most secluded beaches available along the Destin beach line. This is because our small neighborhood shares the beach with the smallest motel in Destin. You will notice the difference as you look down to the left or right and see the large crowds. Social distancing will be pleasantly easy to accomplish.

All frequently touched surfaces such as counters, door knobs, handrails, light switches, television remotes, and furniture will have been disinfected with CDC recommended bleach or alcohol solutions. Our housekeepers will wear protective masks and gloves while cleaning during this pandemic. While it would be wise for you as guests to continue cleaning surfaces during your stay, you can know we have done it before you arrived. Anti-bacterial hand soap is provided.

We have modified our bedding arrangement significantly to protect our guests. All sleep pillows are covered with hypoallergenic pillow covers with a moisture barrier. We have increased our supply of linens and comforters so that the beddings for your stay will not have been used for 5 days after cleaning! Furniture and decorative pillows are sprayed down with an alcohol solution to kill bacteria while not leaving a residue on the material.

Consider bringing face masks for when you go out in public and extra paper towels for drying hands in bathroom. We do provide towels and each house does have a washer and dryer for your use during long stays.

During this Corona Virus Pandemic, we will be implementing these measures for your safety and adding a Covid-19 Disinfectant and Sanitation Clean to each reservation. While this adds to the cost of your stay, we feel it is necessary to assure the safety of the multiple generations coming from disparate areas to unite to enjoy time together in our wonderful beach setting. It is imperative we do all we can to give you peace of mind that you have selected a safe and clean place to vacation!

“Doctor’s Orders” has a wonderful pool and the private neighborhood with private beach access is what makes this house amazing. Unfortunately we did have to deal with gas/plumbing repairs (apparently previous tenant left and grill stopped working and then a permanent gas grill line was being installed) and an HVAC repairman check (no HVAC complaints from us) both while we were there. As a fellow owner of rental properties I understand the need to schedule things but it was a bummer to have multiple interruptions. I also appreciated the attentiveness of the owners but also prefer less communication unless I feel the need to reach out. Overall the house was very nice and I would stay there again and recommend it to others.

Our stay at Doctors Orders Destin was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning views and the serene ambiance of this beautiful property. The interior of the beach house is clean, cozy and perfect for a relaxing getaway with friends or family! Every room is tastefully decorated, with touches that make you feel right at home. The spacious living area was perfect for game night, and the screen in porches were perfect for morning coffee! The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, and we loved preparing meals while listening to music together. The bedrooms are comfortable and airy, with plush beds and linens that were clean and very comfortable! The bathrooms are were updated and clean as well. One of the highlights of our trip was the expansive deck and private pool. We spent countless hours lounging on the deck chairs, sipping coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. The location of the beach house is ideal, offering both convenience and tranquility! We can't wait to visit again soon. 5 stars all around!!

The house was beautiful and the layout was perfect for our group! The house was very clean and stocked with everything you could possibly think of for our stay. The beds were very comfortable. We loved the screened in covered porches! We were able to enjoy the outdoors even through an afternoon of rainy weather. It was nice to have the grill in a covered area so close to the kitchen also! The front room with the covered porch was a perfect spot for my mom to sit and watch the grandkids in the pool. The pool was very nice and well maintained. The walk to the beach was short and nice and it was great to have the private area of beach that wasn’t so crowded! The owners were wonderful and very quick to respond when I had questions prior to our visit. We definitely would stay here again and would recommend to other families as well!

My parents, my family, and my sister's family had a wonderful stay at Doctor's Orders 2! The house location is great-- located at the end of a dead-end street, so we had very little traffic. It is an easy walk to the private beach gate at the end of the street, and the owners provide a wagon along with beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys to use during the stay. The house has a big living room downstairs and also four balconies/porches to hang out on. We utilized the big coffee table in the living room for puzzles and other crafts during the week. We enjoyed listening to the frogs, toads, birds and other wildlife in the lush area behind the house. The pool in front of the house was a big hit with our teens (and parents too!), it was a great place to hang out and cool off during the day. The owners are very responsive to any questions or needs-- I highly recommend Doctor's Orders 2 if you need a place to stay in Destin!

Easy check in, house super clean, contents of house tasteful, arty and functional, lots of kitchen cookware and eating utensils of high quality plus numerous beach toys and 4 cruiser bikes. Owner very responsive before, during and after our visit. Have wonderful memories! Feeling very thankful.

From the location at the end of a quiet street, to the beach access an easy two blocks away, to the top floor deck - our family had a wonderful time unwinding and recharging. House was clean and comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked and the beach chairs were an added plus to not have to travel with so much "stuff". And the beach access - so happy to have picked a place that didn't require driving/parking/sharing public beach access with the masses. When back in Destin, will definitely stay here again.
