Captain's quarters in the bay

The Captain's Quarters on Karabell Plantation is a room which sits directly on the Choctawhatchee Bay. It is a Cute cottage connected to our home with soundproofing insulation with a private deck and private covered porch which sits right on the water with beautiful sunrises. You’ll also have a nice gas grill on your private covered porch. You’ll have your own private parking area.
The beach is approximately 10 minutes by car. We are 1 mile east of the mid Bay Bridge exit. We have prepared a Beach kit for you with two beach chairs, umbrella and a thermal bag to put your drinks and snacks in. If you would like a beach wagon, we can also provide that. There is a slight toll to cross the bridge to go to the beach.
Staying at the Captain‘s Quarters you are surrounded by two sides of water. We are the last home before the fresh water stream which makes the Captain’s Quarters extremely private. One of our favorite things in the morning is to watch the sunrise on the dock with a cup of coffee. We would love to have you join us.
We have four kayaks, a paddleboard, lifejackets, and floats to launch at a private beach area just steps from your door. We also have bicycles to use complementary.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, an ironing board, and a kitchen island.

Clean, quiet and friendly with an awesome view!
This was a nice, quiet place to stay, but within easy driving distance to local attractions. The hosts were welcoming, friendly, and helpful. I enjoyed kayaking in the bay, sitting on the dock eating breakfast, and watching the pelicans and fish, and looking out across the water. If you're looking for a fun nearby adventure that's not your typical beach day, I'd recommend a kayak trip to Cyprus Springs.

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. We showed up around midnight, so it was dark, but we still found it easily enough. We walked in and my wife’s first words were “it feels so clean” which by itself was probably worth the stay. Incredibly private, and just a wonderful getaway. We would 100% rent again.

Through and through this property is so beautiful inside and out, everything boasts of attention to detail and upmost care by Kara and Kenny. They are wonderful hosts who were so helpful and welcoming. Wish we had more time to stay and play on the property, but it was so easy and close to everything, it made it easy to do and see all the things we wanted to in Destin :) Best Anniversary trip, in the most romantic property and place!
