About this house rental
Ideal Beach Destination -
Welcome to your ideal beach destination…literally! Ideal Beach Destination is a picturesque vacation home in the exclusive Destiny by the Sea neighborhood in Destin. Surrounded by tropical palms, this Emerald Coast home boasts three levels of gorgeous living and sleeping space. Prominent features include a private pool, glass-tile stairway, three master suites, and breezy porches and balconies. The home has five bedrooms and four and a half baths. It can accommodate up to 14 vacationers.
One of the first things you’ll notice upon arriving at your Destin rental home is the elegant, yet laidback atmosphere. Palm trees and white exteriors are just a hint at the beauty within. Travertine marble floors, sunny windows, and spacious rooms create the kind of place where you can instantly relax. The first floor is dedicated to sleeping quarters, and includes two guest bedrooms and a bonus den. One room has a queen-size bed, cottage-style furnishings, a wall-mounted TV, and multiple windows that let in ample sunlight. The other room is a kid’s bunkroom with two twin bunks. These guest bedrooms share access to a full hall bath. A relaxing den with access to the private pool features a queen-sized sleeper sofa and flatscreen TV.
Ascend the brightly lit stairway to the second level, which features an open floorplan with a large great room. The living area has a wraparound couch, accent chair, and wooden side tables. The seating arrangement centers on a Persian rug and faces a flatscreen TV housed in a hardwood cabinet. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow the Florida sunshine to cozy up the space, and glass doors open onto a balcony with a table and chairs. A dining alcove sits beside the living area. It has a table, raised seating, and coastal-inspired pendant lights. The parchment flooring flows seamlessly into a chef’s state-of-the-art kitchen. The kitchen has stainless-steal appliances and beautiful Carrera Marble countertops. Stylish raised seating sits beside a long island, which can be used to serve vacation meals, beachy cocktails, or tasty appetizers. The great room shares this level with a master suite, which boasts a king-size bed, balcony access, and a private bath with a soaking tub in a glass-walled alcove.
The remaining two master suites are located on the third level. Each includes a king-size bed, luxury bathroom, and access to a shared balcony. One of the master suites also has a wet bar.
In addition to the opulent living and sleeping quarters, vacationers will love spending time in their own private pool. Guests will have access to the neighborhood’s community pool as well, which features a hot tub, an expansive sundeck, plenty of lounge chairs and tables, and BBQ grills. When you’re not luxuriating in a refreshing pool, head down to the shimmering beach, which is only a two-minute walk from the vacation home. Other close conveniences include popular restaurants like The Crab Trap, as well as shops, boutiques, wine outlets, and bars. You can enjoy even more coastal fun when you visit the nearby Village of Baytowne Wharf, Grand Boulevard, and HarborWalk Village.

Everything was great but there should’ve been more toilet paper supply😅
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2022
Great gated community with private beach that was never overpopulated. Home accommodated our party of eight with bedrooms for everyone but missed out on the fantastic beach views we were used to at Sandestin. There was a tiny view between two homes from the third floor master only (that was my favorite spot :). Home needs some well needed upgrades and maintenance ie jacuzzi was nonfunctional, all door handles needed fixing, cosmetic wall issues with water stains in first floor bedroom etc. Additionally there were several housekeeping misses ie stains on pillows, blinds and chairs, for this price point would prefer more absorbent paper towels and tissue, facial tissue in the bathrooms, extra set of wash cloth and hand towels would have been nice, there were too many gnats inside the house and higher quality appliances would have been preferred. Glad we brought our own beach towels as there were none and had to purchase beach toys. Nevertheless, we made the best of our vacation and enjoyed ourselves.

We had an amazing time in this house for spring break. Looks just like the pictures. The electric golf cart (with secure seat belts) was so fun to zip around town to restaurants, shopping, groceries, you name it. The beach was a very short walk. Gated neighborhood felt very safe. We had the pool heated mid visit and management responded very quickly to any requests. Very clean and cozy. The door to the second kitchen pictured is locked, but we didn't need it. Some maybe water damage to one of the main floor bedrooms. My family loved it, highly recommend.

Very unhappy with the circumstances. The house next-door was redoing the roof and debris kept falling into the pool, making it not usable at times. The kitchen had very few pots and pans needed to cook. The pool pump would not work multiple times. i’m waiting to hear from Ocean reef if we get any compensation.
