Pots and pans to gorgeous place settings right down to the cocktail glasses and plenty of utensils including a gourmet knife set. A breakfast bar and a huge dinning table that seats 6.

Just down the highway is the famous Laredo Cantina with a water fountain that is enormous and the kidos can totally enjoy that as you enjoy the other beautiful activities all around. Laredo Cantina serves fresh Mexican cuisine and is our favorite of all the Mexican restaurants there. There is a wonderful helicopter ride service very close by and zip line is offered next to AJ's restaurant. Go carts at the 'Track' with miniature golf and several highflying type rides for the brave to dare. Bumper boats and Fudpuckers has live baby alligators.

We think you will love Family Tides and will want to book with us every time you come to beautiful Florida.

Book Family Tides to have the relaxing, beautiful vacation you deserve. We have been going to differant vacation spots in this area for 35 years, our children have grown up having the best of times on the sunny beaches of Destin.

Now we have our precious grandgirls, they are loving it more each time they go. They love how Big Kahuna and The Track are so close as well as just walking a few steps to the pool and beach with private access.

Perfect accommodations for our family

This cute little house was the perfect location, beautifully clean accommodation for our family. The fenced in front and back yard was just right for the dog to stay contained . We could walk to the beach and the small neighborhood was gorgeous and not on the busy roads. Defiantly recommend and hope to be back. Thank you!

Great house

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect and near everything. The house was clean, comfy, and stayed plenty cold during our stay. Everything needed for our stay was provided or a short drive to multiple stores to get what we needed. The beach is maybe a 2min golf cart ride.

Fantastic Destin House

David you were a fantastic host and the home is beautiful and located in such a great spot. The golf cart was such a bonus and helped us from having to walk to the beach and to close restaurants. Destin's water is probably the prettiest I've seen since Jamaica and I've stayed in other places in Florida and this tops it. The Tiki Boat Cruise was awesome and we all finally got to see dolphins, so beautiful. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much for the hospitality.

Perfection in Paradise

We stayed here for a week and it was absolutely the perfect location for our paradise beach vacation! The golf cart was extremely convenient for getting to the beach and to visit our other family was staying a few streets over! The location to the beach and the Destin main shops is again, perfection! The house was perfect for our family of 4, as each of our kids had their own room.

I had the pleasure of staying at this home during my vacation in Destin, Florida this summer, and it was truly an excellent experience. The house was immaculately clean and clearly very well taken care of—everything felt fresh, tidy, and comfortable from the moment we arrived.The location couldn’t have been more convenient. It was just a short walk to the beach and close to everything else you'd want to do in Destin—restaurants, shopping, activities, and more were all within easy reach.I also had the opportunity to speak with the owner a few times during our stay, and he was incredibly helpful and responsive. It’s always reassuring to know that if you need anything, you have someone who genuinely cares and is easy to reach.I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area. It made our trip stress-free and enjoyable—just the way a vacation should be!

Great Location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. House was more than we needed for just 2 of us plus our dog. The proximity to the beach was just a few blocks and the golf cart was a huge plus to haul our beach chairs, etc. The fenced-in yard was awesome - allowing Finn to roam while we enjoyed the porch swing. It is also close to restaurants and shopping. Check-in & out was super easy and host was quick to respond to questions.

Awesome property, close to the beach.

The location of the property and layout of the house were great for a family with kids. We were able to stay on one side of the house while my parents stayed on the other. Had some rip currents was able to utilize the pool that day and still made it to the beach.

Perfect Beach Getaway

It started with the immediate and kind response from the owners when I inquired about the property and ended with us extremely thankful to the Owners for allowing our special request with our 4 legged family members and helping to making our vacation exactly as we had been dreaming! For the actual stay: 1 block from beach, which is stunning, one block from Camilles which is and ocenside restaurant with literally the best cheeseburgee ive ever had - both as well as other shopping and dining options are equally accessible by utilizing the golf cart which is included! If we could for sure book this place everytime we're down there i would do that in a heartbeat! More amazing stuff if you ask me :)

Great Location & Property

We had a wonderful time. This was our first trip travelling with our dog and going to a place for an extended period of time. It went better than we expected. Clipper Cove was as described. We loved sitting on the front porch watching the world go by. the location is wonderful. Easy to get to, many great resturants nearby. Many places to walk to, the beach is only a few blocks away. So nice to just step out the door and go for a walk. Hope to be able to travel like this again.

Perfect Beach Neighborhood

This is a great house in a quiet neighborhood. The house was clean and well equipped. The golf cart was a bonus and we used it everyday. We enjoyed riding around the neighborhood w the pups and exploring the area. The pups could walk around the fenced in yard while we sat on the porch swing. Perfect 😃
