The walk to the beach takes you over the lake via the walking bridge and you will enjoy the lush landscaping of the complex. If the 5-minute walk to the beach proves to be a problem for anyone in your group there is also the option to pack up your car and drive to the Southbay beach where parking is provided. Once you arrive at the beach you will enjoy the sugar white sand beaches and the emerald, green waters which Destin is known for, and we provide the beach services which include two chairs and an umbrella (March through October).

You're staying on lake front property with a very short walk to the Gulf beach, so you have beautiful views and 2 decks to enjoy. 2 story condo was exactly as shown. It was comfortable and we felt at home for our extended stay. Coffee bar in main bedroom a nice touch as a way to start your day on the covered deck as you roll out of bed! Laundry on upper level where living, dinning and kitchen located (with a half bath!!!) was convenient. Outdoor shareable grill was close by off the parking lot. Many choices of grocery stores nearby - farmers markets on weekends. Sunsets were beautiful...beach was so quiet and empty during our stay. Destin had lots of choices for "local" things to do too in the evening when the sun went down...a BBQ Fest, circus, Harbor Village, fresh seafood markets, breweries. We tried to not live like visitors but to embrace the beautiful seascapes, sunshine & warmth of Florida. Had the opportunity to meet Diane - very nice host. No complaints except that we couldnt stay forever! :)

We loved the area—absolutely beautiful, with a short walk to the beach. The condo had everything we needed and was beautifully decorated.The only downside was the hot water heater. Unfortunately, only one person could take a quick hot shower before the hot water ran out, which was challenging with kids waiting to shower after a cooler day at the beach.
