About the property

Ocean Mist Cottage Professionally Managed by Newman-Dailey

Once you look through the Ocean Mist, you'll notice the lighthouses right away. Navigate toward the nautical beacons that capture the theme of this beach house, and they will lead you to the vacation of a lifetime! After a day of fun in the sun, you can relax with a cocktail and a 'lighthouse view' from the third-floor balcony. Or better yet, let everyone find their own relaxation port . . . from kicking back on the second-floor deck and enjoying the pleasant breezes and cheerful surroundings of this Crystal Beach neighborhood . . .to unwinding in the Primary bath Jacuzzi . . . or taking an afternoon dip in your own private splash pool, complete with a outdoor shower!

Guests receive a welcome kit with small dishwasher detergent, dish soap, sponge, a roll of paper towels, and laundry detergent. There will be an initial trash liner in each receptacle and a set of toilet paper and soaps for each bathroom provided. Guests will need to replenish supplies for longer stays.

There are several pool towels provided for your stay but must remain in the vacation rental and not be taken home.

The pool has a Spill-Over Spa. This is not a Hot Tub and cannot be heated independent of the pool.

This pool can be heated between October- April for a fee of $50 per day upon request to our office. There is an additional charge for heating requests within 48 hours of check-in.

This property comes with 4 parking spaces.

We may require a minimum length of stay during the summer and over holidays.

We do not rent to anyone under 25 or to students. We require 1 parent for every 2 people under 25.

would definitely recommend and look forward to returning in the near future.

We loved the property very much. The house was ample for the four of us, we loved the neighborhood and location to the beach and Camille’s. The porch and balconies were great for hanging out and the beds were comfortable. The property, house, accommodations, location of this property actually were better than we expected. The beach is exceptional and the walk was short and pleasant. There was plenty of space for the four of us adults to relax and enjoy time together. It was a quiet neighborhood and was a short drive to many fine dining restaurants that we found friendly and quite excellent.

loved our stay!

This property is in a beautiful neighborhood and conveniently located. It is just a short walk to the beach. There were 9 of us staying here and there was plenty of room for us all. The space looks clean and up to date. We had a minor issue with the washer not spinning the water out of our clothes; We messaged the host and it was resolved in less than 24 hrs. We are very happy with our stay and communication with the host. I would recommend for large or multi-family stays.

This was our first year to rent a house in this area. We will definitely return. The house was wonderful. It was well furnished and clean. We had 5 adults and 4 children and we had plenty of space. It is a short walk to the beach. A great restaurant, Camille's, is right around the corner. This was an excellent experience.

made wonderful memories

We loved it! From the very moment we pulled up to the house, until the morning we left, our experience was delightful! We timed our walk to the beach at 4 minutes and only about two minutes to Camille’s, a local coffee shop. They also served lunch and dinner, had pizza and merch. Ocean Mist is, Number One, very clean! Each room is very well appointed, comfortable beds and furniture. The kitchen is so very well equipped: coffee pot, Keurig, utensils, pots and pans. We were able to enjoy eggs and pancakes for breakfast. We didn’t watch much TV, but there were plenty of them if guests are so inclined. Porches on the first and second floors were lovely and the 3rd floor balcony afforded one an excellent view of the area. The pool provided opportunities for fun and laughter every day. We didn’t use the gas grill at the patio by the pool, but the table, chairs and umbrella had some of us there quite often. The keyless entry door kept it simple for those coming and going at different times. We had plenty of room for our three vehicles in the driveway. The lawn and landscaping is outstanding. The washer and dryer worked very nicely and we were able to clean and dry several loads of laundry. It was especially helpful in preparing our swimwear and beach towels for packing as we headed home. If this review sounds so very positive, that’s because our stay at Ocean Must was indeed, so very positive! We had loads of fun with Wonderful Memories! Thank you!

perfect for our family of 7

Ocean Mist was perfect for our family of 7. The private pool was small but a great option for when we didn’t want to go to the main pool or the beach. Newman-Dailey was always really responsive and had great communication. Only suggestion I have for those looking is to bring your own items for the beach. This property didn’t have chairs/toys/buggie available like some of the other properties in the area offer. Will definitely look to stay again.

great location! close to everything

My husband and I were in town for a wedding that was at the nearby Henderson Resort. We wanted to be nearby, but preferred the perks of being in a home vs resort. The house was very nice, and lots of space for a big group. It was just the two of us for this trip, but this would be a great place for a large group including families or multiple couples. There is a first floor bedroom with bath, and two additional baths on the 2nd floor that offered privacy for both the bedrooms on that level as well. You are very close to the beach, and it is definitely walkable. I would suggest looking in to a golf cart rental if you prefer not to walk. The vehicle parking can be limited at peak times, but there seems to be more availability for golf carts in some of the nearby lots. We also spent some time going to the state park beach nearby. The is a small entry fee (I believe $6/day), but it has really nice facilities and was less busy then some of the other areas. The only item that I would suggest is that some of the cooking pans and pots are replaced or added. There was plenty of dishes and even baking items, but the home is in need of some additional cookware. We were able to make it work since we were only cooking for two, but this could be more difficult for a larger group if you plan to cook meals at the house. The pool was also nice, and probably one of our favorite parts of the house. There is also a community pool, but the convenience and privacy of the pool at the house was definitely worth it. Overall, the property and management was great and they went above and beyond to keep us informed and provide info for anything we needed. I would definitely recommend this house and Newman Dailey!

close to the beach

This property was perfect for our get away and very spacious. One set of grandparents stayed on the main floor, perfect for their room, no stairs. My husband and I stayed on the second floor in the master. My sister and mom shared the other room on the second floor. We had 3 kids ages 9, 7 and 5 who shared the bunk beds on the 3rd floor. There is a balcony off the master and 3rd floor. We told the kids not to open that balcony door without an adult. Keep that in mind if you have really young kids. The private pool was a hit! The kids enjoyed the pool more than the beach! The pool is small, so perfect for kids and parents. Kids will always be within a quick reach. The walk to the beach was 5 min. And that was with 3 kids and carrying all of our stuff. Location is great. Pretty close to the water park, harbor, and outlets. Balcony chairs need to be replaced, that's the only negative, which isn't a big deal.

Ocean Mist was perfect for an additional house needed for our annual reunion. The house was very clean and appeared to have been recently updated. We have stayed in the Crystal Shiores neighborhood for many years and love the location. Some of the homes in Crystal Shores have very limited parking but Oceam Mist easily could have accommodated four cars. Newman Dailey always exceeds our expectations with the professional management of their rental properties.

There were 8 of us and we had plenty of room to spread out. A quick walk to the beach took less than 5 minutes. One of our favorite features was the outdoor heated shower by the pool. The pool is small, but plenty big for the kids to play for hours. The property manager was amazing and even brought us some amazing homemade bread. I would highly recommend this place for families or any one just looking for a great place, close to the beach.

My first experience with Newman-Dailey and they were great. A representative called me the day before check in and gave me updated information. The office staff on our arrival day were friendly and helpful. The property was very good. Great location with an easy walk to the beach and easy drive to shopping and restaurants. We made daily use of the pool and cooked outside on the grill a couple of times. The kitchen was stocked with all necessary items and we cooked in breakfast every morning and most lunches. The bedrooms were comfortable each with their own bath. There was some remodel work going on that did not interfere with our stay. We would definitely use Newman-Dailey again and recommend the Ocean Mist Cottage.

great location, great house, great vaca.

This is a great 3 BR house that is nicely done inside. My wife loved it. More than enough room for the four of us. We had a minor problem with the pool and one of the beds in the 2nd floor guest room and someone was out that same day to fix both problems. 3 minute walk to the beach access. Within walking distance to Camille's. The pool was a little small but that didn't keep us from enjoying it every night. The boys especially loved the pool. The only disappointment is the house did not have any beach chairs or an umbrella to take to the beach. We flew down, so we bought a couple chairs and an umbrella and left them behind for those who might follow us. Bottom line, we would stay here again, so what else can you say? Great place, great service, great location. Great vacation. Memories for a lifetime.

We spent two weeks in Ocean Mist and loved the house and the neighborhood. Short walk to the beach that even the 2 year old could easily make carrying her sand bucket!

Ocean Mist is located very close to the beach. It was about a 3 block walk to the beach. While there, the weather was not the best, but it was surprising how much we spent near the pool too. The house was in good condition and in a very nice neighborhood. It is close to shopping and the golf courses. Newman- Dailey was very responsive to our needs and we would not hesitate to rent through their company again. We took advantage of some of the discounts they offered too.

Our family and extended family (totaling 9)had all the space we needed and then some. The home was beautiful and the location is ideal. The walk to the beach is very short, taking just a couple of minutes. Even the 3 year old didn't mind the walk. The home has plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as general living space, allowing us to be together but not right on top of each other. The pool is a perfect size to relax in! The home is also close to all types of shopping and activities. Newman-Dailey made check in and check out very simple, even with us arriving very late on the day of check in. We want to go back to the home every year!!!

cheers for oceanmist cottage

WE LOVE Ocean Mist! It has been our Florida home for seven winters. The cottage is just perfect for us in every way. And, it would be a great choice for anyone looking for a place to stay during the spring, summer, or fall. It is located a half block from the Gulf of Mexico in the Crystal Beach area of Destin. Yet, our neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. Our street is a meandering circle lined with small picket fenses. We observe palm trees, feel warm breezes, and see the ocean every day - even from our top deck! Everything is close: the emerald green waters, the sugar white sand, wonderful restaurants, great places for walking and riding bikes, golf courses, movie theatres, doctors, dentists, a hospital, Destin Commons, Silver Sands Outlet Mall, and much, much more. Newman-Dailey, property managers for the cottage, takes good care of us and fulfills any need we may have. The owner makes upgrades and improvements on a regular basis in order to make the home more pleasing and comfortable for occupants. In short, it is a delight to pass along a good word regarding the Ocean Mist Cottage, and we do so without any hesitation whatsoever. -- Larry and Kay Jackson

note from property manager

The owner of this adorable beach cottage has completed numerous projects over the past few months. Newman-Dailey appreciates our hands-on owners who take time to keep their home away from home in the best condition possible. Here are a few of the projects the owner has completed recently: new outdoor patio furniture, the pool was completely resurfaced, flat screen televisions throughout the entire home, Blue-Ray player added to the living room entertainment center, new bedding set for the master bedroom and one year ago a new AC system inside and out. This is a perfect home for a family getaway or a much needed break for mom and dad. No matter the reason I guarantee you will enjoy your stay at Oceanmist Cottage!

My husband and I got married in Destin Beach 12 years ago. We actually got married in the Hudson Blendhiem(Newman Dailey property). We love Destin and come almost every year since we were married. We have stayed in multiple properties but the Ocean Mist is our favorite. The pool is very nice and private. We love the 3rd floor deck (my husband calls it his crows nest)It feels like home when we stay there.
