Welcome to Seahouse Escape! This property has been a long-time popular Destin and Gulf Coast vacation rental with so many glowing reviews, but due to change in ownership and management, a new VRBO account had to be created and that eliminated all the reviews.
This spacious retreat with a private carriage house features 5 bedrooms—3 king bedrooms, a super bunk room with a queen and two (2) twin-over-full bunks, and one room with a pull-out sofa with desk/work area and kitchenette — local rules allow occupancy to be listed at 14 but do the bed count and you'll get the real number.
