Read along for a quick layout of our space!



At Captain's Quarters we’ve created a space that once you arrive, you’ll leave all your worries at the door. Our desire is to have guests relishing in the fine design, custom touches, and tranquil vibes for their Destin experience. Our rare layout of two bedrooms & two attached full bathrooms leaves plenty of room for your entire group to enjoy. We can accommodate up to 8 guests in our cozy setting. You'll be impressed with the level of detail that has gone into the decor here, with custom touches from floor to ceiling!



When you arrive, you'll access the condo by one flight of stairs (sorry, no elevator) & enter Captain's Quarters with a code on our keyless entry keypad, for added convenience! You'll enter directly into the living room area that will have you kicking back in no time at all on our comfy sectional, with an open layout that everyone can enjoy together. From our rustic wood ceiling, to the back wall full of windows, guests can enjoy the comfortable "sail away with me" vibe that we've created. We've added a large smart TV on the "gator skin" wall, right above an electric fireplace for those rare chilly Florida nights. Enjoy a few board games for evenings in, or just to entertain the kids! Guests that are visiting for work trips can setup at the desk in the living area, a highly sought after amenity for many travelers. A small balcony with light seating right off the living space is a great space to begin the day with a cup of Joe, or wind down with an adult beverage!



Our open concept kitchen is unlike any others in the complex. We've built out the custom counter space to create a spacious breakfast bar with comfortable seating for 4. Additional seating is found at the dining table for 4. We've stocked this kitchen with full appliances, dishes, bake ware, pots & pans, silverware, utensils, crockpot, blender, and a traditional coffee maker & Keurig! If you plan to cook during your trip, we encourage you to bring along any spices, condiments, & oils you may need as we do not provide any perishable or non-perishable items. We have an easy to use high chair, pack and play, and plastic dinnerware, utensils, & cups for our tiny travelers as well!



The first bedroom, closest to the entrance, offers a custom built in bunk bed with Queen over Queen bunks & additional Twin fold out memory foam mattresses. Guests will find this space to be accommodating for both adults & children alike. There is adequate room for luggage storage, and clothing storage available in the wardrobe in the corner of the room. This bedroom also includes a smart TV. This bedroom has a private bathroom attached that includes a toilet, sink, a large stand up shower with a small seat & large showerhead.



The second bedroom is truly the "Captain's Quarters" with a plush King bed, wardrobe in the corner, and a large smart TV. The attached ensuite bathroom has a custom tile walk-in shower complete with multiple shower heads, toilet, and large granite top vanity with a vessel sink.



A full sized washer and dryer is conveniently located in unit, directly off the living/dining area.



You’ll also find charcoal grills throughout the community for guests to enjoy a relaxed cookout.



PLEASE read our house rules in detail before booking. We take time to put important information here that we need each guest to take into consideration when booking our home. While not all items listed may apply to your stay, we host guests of various group compositions so we must list all rules that could apply to a trip. Thank you for your understanding!



Guest Access:

• You’ll receive keyless entry instructions at 4PM CST on the day of your arrival for a smooth, hassle-free check-in.

• Please note this unit is in a shared building, not a standalone home.

• Community amenities, such as the pool and other shared spaces, are available for all guests and residents to enjoy.



The Neighborhood:

• Gulf Terrace Condominiums are located in the heart of Destin, just minutes away from a variety of dining, shopping, and local hotspots.

• You’ll be less than a mile from June White Decker public beach access, Big Kahuna’s Water Park, and The Track Family Fun Parks, making it easy to enjoy all the area has to offer!

• Our complex offers the convenience of two entrances! The main entrance takes you directly onto Destin’s main highway, while the side entrance lets you exit onto a side street with a stoplight, perfect for avoiding traffic when the town gets busy.



Getting Around:

• During busy times it can be easier to take an Uber, Lyft, or taxi to avoid dealing with traffic and parking. The town is fairly easy to navigate, as most everything to do is directly off the main road through in either direction!

• Airport Distances:

Destin FL (VPS) - 18 miles

Panama City FL (ECP) - 51 miles

Pensacola FL (PNS) - 54 miles



Other Things to Note:

• This is a second-floor unit accessed by stairs only, with no elevator. You may occasionally hear noise from neighboring units or common areas, which is outside of our control. Please note this unit is part of a shared building, not a stand-alone home.

• Linens and beach towels are provided. A courtesy supply of essentials (toilet paper, paper towels, soap, trash bag, dish and laundry detergent) is included. For longer stays or larger groups, please bring any additional supplies you may need.

• Please note that beach equipment and beach supplies are not provided.

• Trailer, RV, box truck, or watercraft parking is not permitted in the complex. HOA towing fees apply for any violations.

• As this is a residential complex, a 10PM noise ordinance is in effect. Excessive noise, parties, illegal activity, or disturbances are not permitted at any time.

• All stays with house-trained pets must be disclosed at booking, as a $50 pet fee applies. We allow a maximum of 2 dogs. Pets must be crated when unattended, and owners are responsible for cleaning up after them indoors and outdoors. Pets are not allowed on furniture.

• ADA-recognized service animals are exempt from the pet fee, but Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) are not. Please note that providing false information about a service animal is against state law, so we appreciate your honesty.

• While this condo isn’t directly on the beach and the beach is not visible from the unit, public beach access is just a short ¾-mile drive away. We do not have a gated or private beach access at this location.

• This is a mixed community with both full-time residents and short-term guests. Building exteriors are being updated gradually, which is outside our control, but we’ve created a cozy, comfortable space inside for your stay.
