Welcome to the Salty Stingray—your luxury beach retreat in the heart of Crystal Beach, Destin!
If you're dreaming of a laid-back getaway where the beach is just steps away and the sunsets are unforgettable, you've found the perfect place. Salty Stingray is a spacious 7-bedroom, 7.5-bath home that sleeps up to 22 guests—ideal for large families, multiple couples, or group getaways. The moment you arrive, you’ll feel the coastal charm and comfort this three-story home has to offer.
The location couldn’t be better. You’re less than a block from the sugar-white sands of Destin’s Crystal Beach—just a one-minute walk to the nearest beach access. And if you’d rather cruise there in style, a golf cart is available upon request.
Inside, you’ll find over 4,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed space with high-end touches like granite countertops, custom tile, and a gourmet kitchen that’s perfect for preparing big family meals. Each bedroom has its own private bath, and the plush linens, towels, and spa-inspired toiletries make it feel like a boutique hotel with all the comforts of home.
Step outside to your own private oasis—a fully fenced backyard with a beautifully landscaped pool area. The pool is large, private, and can be heated for cooler evenings. There’s plenty of comfortable seating for soaking up the sun or enjoying a drink under the stars. And with parking for up to 9 cars, you’ll never have to worry about space.
Upstairs, the third-floor sun deck offers panoramic Gulf views that are truly breathtaking. Whether you’re sipping coffee at sunrise or watching the sun melt into the horizon, it’s the perfect place to relax and unwind.
This home is designed for making memories—whether it’s hosting a family reunion, celebrating a special event (with prior approval and a fee), or escaping the winter chill as a snowbird (ask us about seasonal rates).
Salty Stingray combines space, style, and unbeatable location for a Destin vacation you’ll never forget. We’d love to host you—come stay with us and experience the best of the Emerald Coast.
