In addition, we are happy to offer our guests a discount code for renting a golf cart from a local, reputable company. Actually, the discount code can be applied to anything the company rents, and they rent a wide range of items.
The house is conveniently located 20-30 minutes from the airport (traffic permitting). It is also 10-15 minutes from major entertainment venues -The Boardwalk, SanDestin, Baytowne Wharf, Destin Commons, and Silver Sands Outlets most of which are right in your “back yard”.
