About this house rental
Welcome to Good Tides, your private beach retreat in the exclusive (and only) gated beachfront neighborhood in all of beautiful Destin!
100% FAMILY owned, loved, and operated - this 3 level... 4 bedroom, 3 full bathroom, and 2 half bathroom getaway with over 2,200 square feet of “beachy luxury” adds up to one perfectly spacious vacation getaway! Just 2 houses down from a "World's Top Beach," as voted on year after year after year, this family venture was named "Good Tides" by mirroring our family beliefs and outlook. We believe in adventure. We believe in the kindness and goodness in people. We believe in tuning our radios to "No Shoes Radio." And we believe in doing everything we can to make our guests feel as warm and welcome in our home as the bright Destin sunshine. From our family to yours: Come and stay!
You won't have to cross a single busy street during your entire vacation; just head 100 steps up the lazy private drive to your own beach boardwalk... and feel that baby powder sand under your feet. While you're at it, head either East or West down the beach to 2 of Destin's top rated beach restaurants. Leave those car keys in the dish!
Good Tides has all the space and luxury for up to 12 people to relax together, comfortably, and 3 parking spaces in the driveway. You are simply a short, 2 minute walk to your private sandy-white beach and the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico (never cross Scenic Highway 98, nor any busy street). Once on the sand, beach service makes things easy - you don’t even have to bring your own chairs or umbrella! You are also less than a 1 minute walk to your five-star resort with lounging, pool (heated during March for spring break, Thanksgiving, New Year's and Christmas), and hot tub. Whether you’re a beach enthusiast or planning your next family getaway, Good Tides is the perfect choice for your next vacation.
Relaxing inside Good Tides is easy. Your home offers updates throughout, including new living room and dining room furniture, new flat screen TVs (75" in the living room), and new vanities & countertops in all bathrooms! Brand new kitchen appliances were added in 2020 and a fresh coat of interior paint was applied in 2021. You can enjoy an open air dinner on the balcony, just off the kitchen, by grilling your "catch of the day" on our new 5-burner grill. Or, sit and relax with a book and cocktail on your upstairs balcony, 1 floor up, in the master bedroom. High speed internet, cable, and paid premium channels will ensure you and all of your guests are endlessly entertained.
The first floor features two guest bedrooms with queen sized beds, ceiling fans, and flat screen TVs. In addition to these guest bedrooms, the first floor offers one full bathroom, one half bathroom, a quiet patio, and a high efficiency washer and dryer - to ensure your beach towels are ready for your next trip out!
Next, take the stairs one level up to the main living area. No detail has been overlooked here! The fully equipped kitchen has everything you’ll need to feel right at home. With loads of countertop and cabinet space, cookware, dishware, and all major appliances, you’ll be able to create and serve your favorite family meals. The separate dining area seats eight at the table, comfortably, with additional seating for two at the custom breakfast bar. A full balcony off the kitchen houses a 5 burner grill for cooking out, plus room for 4 to enjoy dinner and drinks under Florida’s famous palm trees. The living room is the perfect place to gather and relax together. It features a cozy gas fireplace and brand new 75” flat screen TV. There is a newly updated half bath nearby, plus private wet bar; equipped with its very own wine chiller and mini fridge.
On the third level, you’ll find the oversized master retreat plus final guest bedroom. The master includes a flat screen TV, king size bed, oversized private balcony, and spa-like bathroom - with walk-in shower, double sinks, and soaking tub. The third-floor guest bedroom also has a flat screen TV and can accommodate up to six in comfort with two full beds and a set of twin bunk beds. A full bath and small private balcony complete the upstairs.
We would love to share our beach home with you and your family. We pride ourselves on making sure you have the time of your lives at Good Tides, a family loved and owned venture.

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
We have a family of 11 soon to be 12. We loved that the house is very close to the pool and the ocean. Both things were very important to us because the kids could go to the beach or pool without a long walk. Also it is located in a spot that is close to grocery stores restaurants etc. We did not realize that we could not put up our tents until we got there. We did have an added expense of renting umbrellas. I will say that one day we decided to go to the public beach and take our tents and it was fairly easy to walk there. We also did not know that the house was for sale until we got there. The instructions that we received when we got there said if a realtor shows up go for ice cream on us. That would not have been convenient with small children. Fortunately we did not have a realtor show up. I do realize it would be hard to show the home only when it was not rented. Other than those couple of things we thought it was great. We love Destin!
