Halo by AvantStay | Walk to Beach + Private Pool

Beach gear rental credit is included at this property for qualifying stays. Read below for more details!

Halo is a remodeled coastal bungalow ready to welcome your group with a pool, separate carriage house, and an unbeatable location. Families will love the fact that the pool has a safety fence, while adults will enjoy hanging out around the fire pit and at the outdoor bar, complete with a TV so you can bring the entertainment outside.

Halo has a separate carriage house right by the pool, where you'll find a laid-back living area, a small wet bar to whip up poolside cocktails, and an upstairs bedroom. Whether you’re simply looking for some extra privacy or traveling with multiple families, the split layout between the carriage house and main home is perfect for groups!

When you're ready to switch from lounging poolside to relaxing on the shore, James Lee Beach is just a five-minute walk from your front door. Or, take a quick 20-minute drive toward the heart of Destin for waterparks, dining, and the bustling Destin Harbor Boardwalk. Whether you're here to relax or explore, Halo will help you fall in love with everything the Florida Panhandle offers.

Worth It!
Came with 12 friends as a “college reunion” and we enjoyed every minute! Such an easy walk to the beach and the house is tucked away in a neighborhood so it stays quiet!

We had a great time. Easy walk to the beach. The doors never shut properly and there was quite a few things that were in need of repairs.

Loved being at the end of the street. Parking is tricky there. And too many trees by the pool.
Very nice and roomy. Problems were addressed right away. Too many trees by the pool, had to continually clean out. Overall very good would stay again

Refreshing
The property and neighborhood looked well maintained. We were able to fit 4 larger vehicles on the driveway comfortably with room to spare. Everything looked, felt, and smelled clean. They provided more than enough toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags for 13 people staying 3 nights. They provided beach towels and numerous beach/pool toys and floats. We borrowed the wagon for the short walk to the beach. We all had a great time and would stay again.
