4 Min Walk to Beach and Lakefront Patio! Patio + Community Pool!

*Two Chairs & Umbrella Included* (March 1st - October 31st)

Come experience the best of what the world-famous Emerald Coast has to offer for an unbeatable price!

Our townhome, located in the Southbay by the Gulf community, is truly a slice of heaven. Our home is located in the heart of Destin and is just minutes away from everything the area has to offer. We are located on the south side of Highway 98 - that means there are no streets to cross! In fact, our unit is located just 120 yards from the pristine white sand beaches.

Your stay with us comes complete with access to two swimming pools (1 heated), a kiddie pool, 1 lighted tennis court, two pickle ball courts, shuffleboard (with equipment available for use), a fully stocked and fishable 5 acre-lake, and private beach access.

The townhome comes fully furnished with comfortable accommodations. The unit sleeps 6 with two well-appointed bedrooms, each with en suite bathrooms, and a sleeper sofa in the main living area. One thing that sets us apart from other townhomes is that our backyard is the 5-acre lake! There are two balconies, one off the master bedroom and one of the living room, that you and your guests can relax on as you enjoy the lakefront view. You can also fish right off the balcony!

The kitchen has all of the amenities you may need to cook and entertain and there is a dining area to enjoy as well. There is also a full-size washer and dryer inside the townhome for your convenience. We also provide free internet access in your townhome so that you can stay connected. Lastly, all televisions are smart TV's with access to the internet.

When you are ready to head down to the beach, we also provide 2 complementary beach chairs and an umbrella (a $45/day savings!) - just go to the beach and tell the attendant that you're staying in condo #58 and everything will be set up for you! All you have to do is relax and enjoy some of the best beaches in the country. (Please note: the season for umbrella and beach chair service is March 1st through October 31st.)

Great place to stay when visiting Destin Area

Loved this townhouse and location. On beautiful lake and super close to beach, included reserved chairs and umbrella. Pool. With kiddie pool for our grand daughter was very nice. Great comms with host. Had two decks on the lake. Since a townhouse keep in mind has stairs, very manageable for us but keep in mind if any mobility issues. If bringing a toddler don’t forget to bring a booster seat, also a portacrib.

Nearly perfect

Amazing location and probably the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in! Clean, with everything you need. The turtles right off the patio were a highlight. The only thing I would recommend is some blackout curtains for the main bedroom- they put lights along the bridge and they stay on all night, it’s lighter in that room at 3am than it is at 10am - we had to go buy some cheap sleep masks- but we would definitely book again!
