About this property

Leap Of Faith-Near Gulf - Beach Set up - Contactless entry

  • The cottages in Clipper Cove are quaint reminders of days gone by with white picket fences, front porches, and bright decorative colors, with the entire community built on a cul-de-sac.
    This wonderful 3 bedroom - 2 bath beach cottage is located in the beautiful Crystal beach community of Destin Florida.

    We invite you and your family to stay in our newly remodeled home for a week in paradise! If you like sugar - white sand, emerald waters and swaying palms, you will love this community. This newly remodeled charming little Beach Cottage is perfect for your next Destin vacation. We are providing FREE Beach Service in Season! ( Mar - Oct ) 2 chairs and 1 umbrella waiting for you each day of your stay!

    Leap of Faith is located within the quiet beach community of Crystal Beach Cottages in Destin. Just a short five minute stroll away from the emerald green waters and sugar white sands at Crystal Beach.

    Soooooo much to see and do!: The beach walkover is 350 paces South and some of Destins' finest shopping is 350 paces North. Our home is in a perfect location, You will want to return year after year! Crystal Beach promotes cottages, rather then high rises, to capture the Old Florida Community feeling.
    We suggest walking to the corner Bistro ( Camille's ), sit on the veranda, read the paper and enjoy a relaxing breakfast and cup of coffee while watching the morning joggers pass by. While at the beach, try one of their smoothies or return in the evening for some of the finest Sushi or seafood in Destin. There are also many beautiful golf courses within 5 miles of your vacation home. You will also enjoy Dolphin watching, jogging and just sitting at the beach to soak in the beauty of the emerald waters as well as the spectacular sunsets. If you enjoy shopping then you will be able to shop till you drop! Destin Commons is only 2 minutes away or you can find several treasures at the Silver Sands outlet mall

    Time to relax as well!: After you have enjoyed the beaches, you can relax and enjoy the feeling of Key West abound in this neighborhood of white picket fences and pastel colored homes. Enjoy the large porch and relax after a fun day in the sun!

    Perfectly located for enjoying shopping, dining and all of the Destin area attractions. Perfect for families or couples looking for a quiet beach retreat.

    When you’re tired of taking in the beach, you can lounge by the community pool.

    What to do besides enjoy our wonderful beach: Should you wish to explore what the local area has to offer, you'll find an abundance of choices. Sidewalks line scenic 98 for walking, running or bike riding. We are a short drive to the Silver Sands mall to the West, or luxury shopping at Destin Commons to the East. Kenny D's, The Crab Trap, and Pompano Joe's are all within a short drive. For evening entertainment, Destin is known for some wonderfully upscale eateries, as well as your regular fare. Friendly night life and nearby state of the art movie theater.
    Destin Commons outdoor mall. Enjoy such great stores as Abercrombie & Fitch, Ann Taylor Loft, Banana Republic, Belk, Books-A-Million & Maui Nix Surf Shop to rattle off a few.
    The Track Amusement Center in Destin, Florida offers mini golf, Water Bumper Boats, go-carts & for those not faint of heart, Bungee Jumping.

    Big Kahuna’s Water Park is a favorite for young & old a like. Take a break from the wonderful Destin, Florida beach & spend the day here.

This adorable beach cottage was perfect for our stay. I was with my college age daughter and two of her friends. The house is nicely decorated, clean, and fully equipped for a chill beach stay. The community pool was a short 2-minute walk and the beach is maybe a 5-7 minute walk. There’s a great cafe across from the beach access to grab coffee or a bite to eat. We loved our visit!

Relaxing and enjoyable

Leap of Faith was a great experience. Very clean, beautifully decorated. Just like home! Only suggestion would be that the porch and porch furniture could use a power washing. Loved our visit. And having beach chairs/umbrella service all set up in the beach was perfect!

Location was great. Decor was beachy and very colorful, which we loved. The beds were very comfy. It felt like home! What a wonderful front and side porches with rockers & adirondack chairs to enjoy the sunset and a glass of wine. Beach accommodations were exceptional! We would recommend Leap of Faith to family & friends and hope to stay there again!
