CASTAWAY COTTAGE in beautiful Crystal Beach, Destin, Florida.
Our charming beach cottage features 3 bedrooms, one King and two Queens plus a PRIVATE POOL (sorry Not Heated) and Pirate Buggy Golf Cart, beach chairs plus bicycles!

We purchased this charming single level cottage
located just 2 blocks from beautiful 'Crystal Beach, Destin Florida' as our future retirement home. We have had so much fun decorating and tried to make it as comfortable as if you were at home and hope you will enjoy it as much as we do. We furnished our home as if we were staying there, so you will find extras not usually furnished in a rental which saves you money! Plus being convenient.

The location of Castaway Cottage is perfect for your visit to the Destin area with easy access to the beach (with our Pirate Buggy (golf cart), beach bikes or easy stroll), shopping and restaurants. 'Crystal Beach Cottages in Destin Florida' are known for their charming picket fences and colorful 'beachy' exteriors. Enter through the arbor to stone pavers with lush palms. Relax on the front porch, listen to the waves and enjoy calming gulf breezes!

Castaway Cottage features a spacious living dining combination decorated to create a private tropical oasis. The living area has a sofa, love seat, bamboo easy chair with storage foot rest. The guys will love the 55 inch flat screen with Blu Ray player, Bose sound system plus premium Cable TV. Stay connected with WiFi. A Cozy fireplace will cut the chill from late night dips in your private pool. Our kitchen is fully furnished with all NEW stainless steel applicances and will impress the most descriminating chef!

Just off the living room is the Master Suite with King plush bedding, charming bay window seating and 32 inch TV with a built in DVD player. The master bedroom has it's own private shower with glass doors, large 'sit down' dressing vanity complete with hair dryer and lighted make up mirror.

From the kitchen enter into the 'gaming area' with it's own 32 inch flat screen, Blu Ray player plus ***X BOX ONE ****. The laundry room is just off the alcove and features a washer/dryer, iron and board plus pool towels complete with a Castaway 'Wilson' volleyball.

A hallway seperates two additional Queen bedrooms, each with their own 24inch cable TV's with built in DVD players. At the end of the hall is a full bath with tub/shower combination.

French doors lead to a spacious covered back porch with patio furniture for relaxing and enjoying the view of the landscaped yard and pool. A TEN FOOT privacy fence will ensure those late night skinning dipping swims in the 9 X 24 foot pool. Feel secure with our alarm system with 'door alarms' so you know who is coming / going to the pool area.

Prepare those freshly caught seafood delights on your gas grill. Dine under the stars from your private Castaway Cottage
backyard oasis.

We love to pamper our guest with plush robes, pool towels and other surprise treats. We have decorated and furnished our Destin Beach home as if we were living there and invite you to come experience true Southern Hospitality.

Castaway Cottage welcomes small pampered pets, because we know pets are family too! Castaway Cottage, perfect accommodations from romantic honeymoon getaway's to family vacations. We hope to see you soon!

Lovely, relaxing vacation retreat
My husband, Mom, and small dog all stayed at Castaway for 3 week. We had a great time, and we plan on returning. The neighborhood is very quiet. The house is very clean and well stocked (towels, cleaning supplies, pots/pans/utensils). Patty even starts you off with paper towels, napkins, laundry detergent, and toilet paper, and the kitchen is stocked with salt, pepper, oils, and some spices. The master bedroom/bathroom has recently been remodeled, and it is lovely. We had comfortable beds and good water pressure (which is important for someone with long hair like me). We were greeted by a brand new, full size washer and dryer. The pool is fabulous, and we enjoyed swimming every day. You can walk to the beach from the cottage, but there is also golf cart parking right by Camille's restaurant. We enjoyed walking the beach every evening. The cottage is in the middle of everything - you can walk to Publix along with drugstores, restaurants, nail salons, etc. I saw another reviewer mention dust. The house was very clean when we arrived. There was a little dust here and there, but you should have seen the highly rated, brand name hotels we stayed at during our drive to and from Destin - dirty bathrooms, no housekeeping service, torn and stained towels. Hotels are not what they used to be before Covid, and Patty's cottage is fabulous, clean, and quiet retreat. We had such a good time we didn't want to leave. Thank you Patty!

Patty is a great and fast communicator, house was as advertised nice pool, golf cart and bikes are also a great bonus. Beach access is maybe 4 blocks total easy 5 min walk even with kids. The beach access that’s near the house has free parking for golf carts. Thanks for having us and letting us bring the dogs we had a great time.

Lovely Stay at the Castaway
The Castaway is a lovely property. It was our first time in Destin and Crystal Beach is wonderful. The Castaway is clean, great location and the amenities made our stay even better. We loved the backyard and spent many hours relaxing by the pool and on the shaded patio. This place has everything you need and more. Loved the close proximity to the beach.

A great place
This was an excellent place to go for a group of 4 people. With the golf cart, the beach is literally 2 minutes away and the private pool is a very, very nice bonus. Also, don’t bother bringing any kitchen items, including spices because the kitchen is very well stocked. Our dogs were also able to come with us, so overall a great place to stay in Destin

Your private oasis home away from home!
CastAway Cottages was beyond our expectations! We were blown away by the detailed decor and we loved the volcano scent throughout the entire cottage. They have everything you need which was the first for us to ever see. The pictures don't do CastAway Cottage justice! The private pool was amazing and we loved the 10ft. fences for privacy and the grill, beach chairs, seashore fountain, patio, and palm trees was a plus. The buggy was alot of fun to get around town and was great use of transportation. Patricia accommodated our pups and they had so much room to relax in. Even our Uncle loved Castaway. Thank you for the hospitality. :)

Just What We Needed
This home was just what our family needed ans just the right size for our family. Our twenager and pre-teen each had their own space. The living space is comfortable and super functional, kitchen is well appointed, the house is well decorated and inviting. We took our coffee on the front porch every morning and really enjoyed the pool and covered back porch every afternoon. It was extremely relaxing. The golf cart made going to the beach and some of the nearby restaurants very convenient and there is something about moving around in a golf cart that just really makes you feel like vacation. Hosts were great, great communication prior to arrival. We will definitely be back!

Great location!
Everything was great. The location was unbeatable- in a nice neighborhood, close to the beach. The price was reasonable. New appliances, comfortable beds, clean linens, ample furnishings, plenty of beach towels, dishes, etc. Having the washer and dryer was a huge plus. The pool was fantastic! I gave it an overall 4 star because the bathrooms, particularly the tub/showers, really need to be updated. I would recommend it to my friends / family.
