Property Description
“Off The Clock” is a stunning, one-of-a-kind property. It is a three bedroom, three bath home in the Crystal Beach neighborhood.

Better yet, it is a short stroll to our world famous white sandy beach and emerald, green water!

We are located steps from the beach with a beautiful private backyard retreat offering a *heated pool, outdoor shower, and a propane grill off the side entry of the yard.

We even included a heavy-duty cooler with beach wheels! The house is so close to the beach that you can come and go back and forth all day long. Once you’ve enjoyed enough of the beach, come back to the house, and indulge in the private heated 12 x 24 salt water swimming pool with generous deck space and multiple seating areas for socializing. The large grassy backyard is perfect for a game of catch or Frisbee!
Our house has several highly rated local restaurants in walking distance. We also have a variety of grocery stores located within a couple miles, including Whole Foods and Publix.

BOOK THE HOUSE!
We treated our high school grads to a trip to Destin, and this beach house was absolutely perfect! The moment we walked in, we were blown away—the space was warm, beautifully decorated, and incredibly inviting. Honestly, it was so comfortable that we almost didn’t want to leave to explore!But when we did, the beach was just steps away—so close that we could easily walk back and forth throughout the day. Morning coffee on the balcony or afternoons in the gorgeous pool in the back yard relaxing—it was everything we hoped for and more. And the customer service was stellar! If you’re even thinking about booking, do it. You won’t regret it.

100% Beachy Vibes
A great place to stay right near the beach. Newly renovated, beautiful inside with a coastal aesthetic and vibe. The thought and detail is fantastic with a very well equipped kitchen, as well as equipment for the beach. Everything has been thought through. The hosts were very communicative and make a great effort to look after you. Highly recommend!

Fun beach house
We really enjoyed bringing the family to Destin. The house was a short walk to the beach, and the two chairs and umbrella reserved there made it easy to always have a spot. The backyard heated pool was a great place to relax before dinner. Good location a short drive to shopping and dining. The house was clean and everything in good shape, and property management was very easy to communicate with before check in and while on site. Highly recommended!

Not what we expected
Review of “Off the Clock”Not What I ExpectedAfter a stressful period that landed me in the hospital in late December, it was recommended I take some time off. I decided to book two weeks at “Off the Clock” through VRBO, bringing along my wife and son for what we hoped would be a relaxing getaway. Unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations in several ways.First ImpressionsThe property was difficult to recognize upon arrival because it looked noticeably different from the photos on VRBO. For instance, the photos depicted a white privacy fence separating the property from the neighboring yard. In reality, no such fence exists, and the neighbors parked right up to the edge of the property, creating a less secluded feel.Smoke Alarms: The Biggest ChallengeOur first evening was far from peaceful. My wife made toast, and the overly sensitive fire alarm system was triggered, setting off multiple alarms and a loud, repetitive voice declaring, “Fire!” This required us to open all three doors to create enough airflow to stop the alarms—a routine we would repeat many times during our stay.The sensitivity of the alarms rendered the gas stove nearly unusable. Even with the downdraft system (as instructed by the owner), cooking anything, from frying fish to baking pizza, would set off the alarms. Rain made grilling outside impossible, and when the grill was eventually tested, it didn’t work-Many issues they say they are fixing we will see

Beautiful Home
This house is perfectly decorated, well stocked for all needs! We enjoyed sitting on the porch and using all the amenities in the back yard. Very close to the beach and equipped with everything you need to enjoy the day by the water.

True to the name
Off the Clock was an amazing property and experience for our family of five. The house felt like home. Very well laid out and the details really made that feeling possible. Extremely clean, very spacious, the decor was thoughtful and comfortable. The kitchen was especially nice. It’s not easy to feed 3 hungry kiddos for multiple meals, but the open kitchen and breakfast bar was the perfect platform for many meals and memories with our kids before they ran back to jump in the pool. We sat down for a few family meals at the beautiful kitchen table as well.
The proximity and location on the beach was perfect. The short walk was easy and a fun little adventure for the us and the kids to explore and talk, while also allowing them to help pull the wagon and cooler that was provided (much appreciated!) ;)
Truly an amazing stay for us, best property we’ve visited in our few years of starting to travel with our little fam. We’ll definitely return!
Thank you to the Cohen’s for sharing your house with us.
