Located in the charming beach side community - SouthBay by the Gulf. We lived in Destin for 4 yrs and we want to give you a locals experience by sharing all our favorite lesser-known spots :) We have full visitors guides to all our favorite locals spots!

There are 2 community pools (one of which is mere steps away from our front door - both have kiddie pools), tennis courts, a 5 acre lake, and access to South Bay's designated private beach with chair + umbrella service Mar-Nov. The walk to the beach is 7 minutes! All the details you could possibly want are on our Airbnb!

Sleeps up to 8 people comfortably! The 2nd floor was just renovated with new LVP flooring. The entire condo just got a fresh coat of paint in 2024.

The tennis courts, pickleball and shuffleboard court was just completely resurfaced and ready for play! Great for families at the beach.

BEACH ACCESS

The beach is a quick walk (we timed ourselves and it was about 7 min) and a wagon is provided. Parenting hack: bring scooters! That's our kids favorite way to reach the beach. You cross a parking lot, and then take the bridge over the beautiful lake (this is also our favorite spot to watch the sunset!), and then pass the south pool and parking lot and you're at the beach. If you'd like to see a map screenshot of the walk to the beach, just send us a message!

OUR TOWNHOUSE

Our townhouse is approx 1300 sq feet. Two stories with entrance on the first floor. See photos for blueprint layouts. The second story has 3 bedrooms and two full baths with tub & showers (two rooms with queen beds, one bunk room with a twin on top, a double on the bottom and a twin 'trundle' underneath, a pack n play is available and fits in the master closet. A queen air mattress is available if you let us know ahead of time that you are having more than 8 guests (for additional fee). The main floor has all other spaces - kitchen, half bath, laundry, dining and living space. There is a back patio with string lights, a gas grill and bar height table.

The kitchen has lots of pots and pans, with extra items like garlic press and cheese grater - we are avid cooks!

POOLS

One of the pools + kiddie pool is right outside the door - less than one minute away (our baby monitor works at the pool if that tells you how close it is!) There is another pool closer to the beach, which is heated usually at Thanksgiving and during Spring Break. This pool also has the closest bathroom to the beach.

PRO TIP FOR SUMMER TRAVEL

The majority of tourists to the area come and go on Saturdays which makes travel into and out of this little beach town on Saturdays super backed up. We suggest checking in or out on any day other than Saturday for the best experience. However, our place is available for Saturday checkin/checkout if that's what you need. If you choose to arrive or checkout on any day other than Saturday, you will encounter much less traffic AND you get to enjoy the very BEST day on the beach in Destin during the summer- which is Saturday when all the other tourists go home :)

SNOWBIRDS AND OFF SEASON:

We offer significant monthly and weekly discounts on the off season. Send us a message! The off season is our very favorite time at the beach. The weather is wonderful!
