About this property

Aqua Sound - Gulf Front, Gated Cmty, Free Beach Service, Pool, Hot Tub, Tennis!

Aqua Sound -

It doesn’t get better than a beach vacation with beachfront views! Aqua Sound is a three-level, Gulf-front vacation home located in downtown Destin. Perched atop sugary sand dunes, the home offers vacationers a front-row seat to view the emerald waves and crystalline shores of nature’s prettiest beach. The home features open living quarters, well-appointed bedrooms, breezy balconies, and convenient access to the beach and a community pool. With four bedrooms, the property can comfortably accommodate up to eleven visitors.

The main great room is on the second floor. High ceilings, recessed lighting, and a wall of glass doors that face the water show off the room’s spaciousness. Wood floors and muted teal walls add a laidback coastal feel. A chocolate-brown couch, multiple leather armchairs, and a plush accent chair create a cozy seating ensemble in the living room. The setup faces a TV mounted above an entertainment cabinet. From this room, guests can access the furnished beachfront balcony. Next to the living room, a hardwood table and six chairs make up the dining area. Additional stool seating can be found at the adjacent kitchen bar. The large kitchen has white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite counters, a tile backsplash, and sunny windows.

The home’s four bedrooms are spread across all three floors. On the first level, you will find a guest bedroom with two twin beds and a wall-mounted TV. The room also has a table, raised bar, and chairs. A door provides access to a lovely shaded patio with seating. On the second floor, there is a guest bedroom with a king-size bed, a separate space with a twin futon, and an ensuite bath. The remaining bedrooms are located on the third level. One is the spacious primary suite with a king-size bed, reading corner, TV, private balcony access, and a luxury bath with a glass-walled shower. The other bedroom on this level features a queen-size bed, TV, and balcony access.

Conveniently located in the residential community of Destin Pointe, Aqua Sound vacationers enjoy access to multiple amenities. Visit the community pool for a freshwater swim before hitting the beach. The pool has a shallow entry, which is great for the little ones in the group. A sun-soaked deck surrounds it with lounge chairs, and a bubbling hot tub provides additional space for relaxation. The community has tennis courts, shuffleboard, and a playground. Of course, the beach is only steps away, as well.

In addition to community amenities, Downtown Destin offers visitors many fun locales and activities. Nearby restaurants include Louisiana Lagniappe, Boshamps Seafood and Oyster House, and Boathouse Oyster Bar—each of these is a favorite among locals and visitors. Only a couple minutes away, HarborWalk Village boasts various restaurants, bars, shops, zip lining, family-friendly activities, seasonal festivals, live music, dolphin cruises, firework shows, and much more.

Family Vacation

The house was fabulouosly located and the beds were comfy! However, no window treatments in Master, several things were falling apart/broken at the end of the summer and the kitchen has bare minimum cooking supplies. We had to buy several things to restock the kitchen. I am sure it would be better taken care of earlier in the summer. The new pool was not open yet but looks amazing. We will probably be back but stay at a different house in the neighborhood that is has better upkeep.

Terrible vacation experience

We booked this rental for 6 nights. Arrived to a dirty rental that had a foul mildew smell and one of the kitchen cabinet doors was sitting on the floor. The pots and pans were dirty and in very poor condition, so we ended up going to the store and purchasing our own. The AC unit wasn’t working properly and their maintenance team wasn’t able to fix it; so they had an AC company come in which took 5 days to get fixed and then being told would take at least 12 hrs to get cool due to how hot and humid it was inside. There is mold and mildew present throughout the house which caused several of our family members to get sick. We ended up checking out after the 4th night due to how hot the rental was and our family members getting ill. We booked this rental based on the good reviews and listing photos/description, but be very cautious as they are absolutely misleading.

Aqua Sound

Master Bedroom had no window covering, had to buy tempo blinds, furniture in living room resembled fraternity house. Limited seating inside and outside. Freezer and microwave were broke. A/C wasn’t cooling, Railing on balcony steps were hazardous. Inbave owned properties in neighborhood for 30 yesrs. This house was the worst ive owned or rented in those 30 years. I WOULDNT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE THIS PROPERTY!!!! Great location but the house seemed to be staged for maximum owner profit. Caution to anyone interested in renting this property there are much better options in Destin Pointe. For the price I paid we were extremely disappointed. I won’t rent it again.

Nice Year End Getaway

What a gorgeous house and beach. Absolutely loved the Primary Bedroom . It was my favorite. The younger ones enjoyed fishing . We watched dolphins right from our balcony everyday. This house was really clean also. We really enjoyed our time here.

40th Bday

The place was very nice and clean and well located to everything we wanted to do. Beach access was nice with having the chairs available. We did have some maintenance issues with the dryer(the dryer was still not working right after maintenance came) and dishwasher. We also noticed that there were not a lot of other things that are normally included in VRBO's that I have stayed at in the past? There were no beach chairs to sit on beach at night, hair dryer, umbrella, beach towels and extra toilet paper, coffee and creamer. I would definitely stay here again, just wish there were a few more basic amenities. Thanks Regena

Wonderful location

We enjoyed the house and location. The house is right on the beach. Destin Pointe is an exceptional location, with private access to the Gulf and quiet snorkelling cove at East Pass, this was our second time at Aqua Sound. The whole family loves the house.
