About the property

Hemingway's Hideout Professionally Managed by Newman-Dailey

LOCATION is EVERYTHING! Imagine a true Florida Beach Cottage on a private, dead-end street with private beach access and private pool. Enjoy the sea breeze sitting under shady oaks with a cold drink in your hand.

If Hemingway traveled north of Key West, he surely would have enjoyed this Destin beach cottage, reminiscent of what you might find in the keys. This lovely vacation home would be a place after his own heart. Less than a 5 minute walk to the beach; surrounded by the unique shady oaks that Northwest Florida is known for; wrapped in several peaceful porches and has a private pool in the large backyard. We think this wonderful cottage will have you coming back for more.

This home makes it so easy to enjoy what we came here for—the relaxation and beauty of some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. It is ideally located in the Crystal Beach area near The Destin Commons, grocery stores, award-winning restaurants and many recreational activities nearby. It’s location in Kokomo Cove has dedicated neighborhood beach access and is adjacent to the bike trail that runs along the beach and meets up with shops and eateries.

While it’s true that the locale of Hemingway’s Hideout is fantastic, this beach vacation rental is more than just a dot on the map! Apart from an eclectic and attractive coastal décor, it has a modern kitchen stocked with all you’ll need for a culinary adventure. There are high-end kitchen appliances enough to fulfill any chef's dream. There is a full laundry room and flat screen TVs in each room. It’s not so big you need a map to navigate but feels very open and airy with 10’ ceilings on the main level. Moreover, the top floor is accessible via a spiral staircase and has a wonderful 360 degree balcony that offers beautiful views of sunsets over Crystal Beach and a partial Gulf view. The backyard is also poetic. A large private pool is surrounded by plush outdoor furnishings, and a grill. In fact, don’t be surprised if you feel like living a short story of your own as you bask in this sunny oasis.

We require a minimum length of stay during the spring, summer and over holidays.
We do not rent to anyone under 25 or to students

We are thrilled to offer our Newman-Dailey guests 1 FREE Activity each day of your stay through Xplorie for paid stays, 27 nights or less.

Susan

4.0

The house was just as advertised and was very clean, well maintained and had all the kitchen/household items you need for a stay. The proximity to the beach was amazing and the size of the house was perfect for a single family. We enjoyed the pool in the backyard as well as the grill. It was also nice to be on a street that dead ended to avoid noise from cut-through traffic. Only downside to the house was that the closets were filled with extra linens and housekeeping type items and there were no dressers. Living out of a suitcase isn't ideal so I'd suggest that the house leave room in the closets or add dressers to the bedrooms.

This property was good. The thing that made it worth our stay was the pool and proximity to the beach. It was further away from shopping and restaurants, but if you’re planning to stay in, this is a great place. Bunk room tv didn’t work, and a few kitchen items were missing. Overall was happy with the experience.

We enjoyed the accommodations at this property as well as its proximity to the beach. The backyard is a private oasis with heated pool and made this an ideal property even on cool, cloudy days. We appreciated the landscaping and ample shade In the yard. The kids loved the “clubhouse” upstairs above the tree line. The kitchen and bathrooms are beautifully furnished. The shady front porch was lovey for sipping drinks and playing board games together.

The property is located right on the beach. The house was very spacious and accommodating for all of the guests. There was more than enough room for my family and we had everything we needed. Location is very quiet, close to shopping, and anything you may need to make a quick run to. Hosts were very responsive. The pictures do not give the full experience of staying here. Much better vacation spot once you're actually on the property.

Spectacular kitchen accommodated our family cooking competition, our way of having fun eating in all the time due to Covid risks. Location to beach was awesome. Little tight for 6 adults. Suggest a change to an oval or ellipse Dining table to have head clearance walking around spiral staircase. Beautiful finishes. Quartzite counters stunning.

The property and neighborhood were both great. The beach is just at the end of the street with a private beach entrance. You're not ON the beach, but you're super close. Beds were good (I would say medium firmness), pool was clean and well positioned, and the kitchen was big. We did have a problem with the master toilet. But the management company and the owner took care of it the same morning we called them. Many thanks for the incredibly fast response! Overall, we had a great time.

everything we were looking for

First, Newman Dailey, the property management company, was wonderful to work with, great staff. The property had everything we were looking for; we only have one constructive criticism, the newer designer light bulbs provide little light. As a result the rooms are very dark, hard to read. Recommend putting more efficient LEDs in the second bedroom and bath and finding candle bulbs with more lumens for the kitchen and family room.

Thank you for your recent review of Hemingway’s Hideout. We were thrilled you enjoyed your stay and our services. We are passing your kind words along to our team. We appreciate your suggestions about the lightbulbs and have forwarded them to the property manager to discuss with the owner. We look forward to your next stay with us.
