Great townhouse, great location

We loved our stay, the townhouse was equipped with everything we needed, and the location was great. Close access to the beach, loved that is was private beach access that was something we were looking for when renting. The beach service was a extra added thing that we used every day. Check and and check out was seamless. The one bedroom with the bunks worked perfect for our kids, the master doesn’t have bunks but maybe that’s something they could add later that would be a added plus? It still had plenty of room with the couch downstairs. We look forward to staying here again. Thank you!!

Vacation

The property was exactly what i was expecting from the pictures. Nothing misleading. I was not disappointed with anything. The house was clean and comfortable. The beach was just a short and convenient walk. I appreciated how this unit was on the end as it made parking right infront of our unit easy and private. The private beach and chair/umbrella set up was wonderful! I will never book another stay without that! Mrs. Belinda was super sweet and easy to communicate with. I will definitely consider this unit again 🌞

Amazing Stay

This place was amazing. The home was beautiful and clean. The layout and sleeping arrangements were perfect for our 3 adults and 3 children. The beach was so convenient and the chairs and umbrellas being provided was such a huge plus. Parking was very easy, as this unit is at the end of a line of units. I definitely recommend this place!

Spring Break 2022

The property is super close to the beach (closer than the map depicts). House has tons of windows and lots of natural light. The townhouse is very updated, beautiful decorated and clean. The closet is stocked with tons of beach toys, very nice chairs, and 2 umbrellas. I recommend this townhouse - it was very nice.

Fall Break Beach Vacay

Gulf Winds 43 DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! We had a wonderful Fall Break getaway at the beach. The condo was amazing and Belinda is a wonderful host! The location is perfect with such a short walk across the street to the most beautiful sand and water. Bedroom layout with queen bed and bunks in one room was great for family with children. 5 STARS!!!!! We will be back for sure!

About the host

Hosted by Belinda Rossi

Host profile image
Our family has vacationed in the Destin area before Destin became the vacation hotspot is it now. We brought our boys to Destin to learn to fish, enjoy the sugar white sand, and create countless family memories. They are now adults, we hope that they will continue this tradition and make their own family memories in Destin.

Although we have only owned Gulf Winds East #43 for a few years, our journey in sharing our properties with others began in 2003. We take great pleasure in opening our doors to guests, allowing them to experience the same joy that Destin has brought us. Our beach property is more than just a place; it is a part of our family's story, and we hope it becomes a part of yours too.

Why they chose this property

Ideal Location
When searching for a semi-retirement home, location was key. Gulf Winds East #43 checked all the boxes for us. It offers the tranquility we crave while being conveniently close to amenities.

Gulf Winds East #43 provides ample room for us to relax during our extended stays. The layout is perfect for hosting family and friends, ensuring everyone has a comfortable space to enjoy their visit.

A private beach was a non-negotiable on our list. The private beach access allows us to enjoy the sand and sea without the crowds. This gives us the peace and privacy we needed to enjoy our home away from home.

One of the highlights of our vacation home is the beachside Gazebo. It has become our favorite spot to watch the breathtaking sunsets, where memories are made and cherished.

What makes this property unique

Private Beach and Beachside Gazebo: Enjoy access to a serene private beach, perfect for sunbathing, swimming, or a leisurely stroll. The beachside gazebo provides a picturesque setting for relaxation or enjoying a beverage with a view of the ocean.

2 Primary Bedrooms with KING Beds: Each of the primary bedrooms is designed for ultimate comfort, featuring plush king-size beds, ensuite bath and elegant decor to ensure a restful night's sleep.
