About this property

4 Min Walk to Beach and Lakefront Patio! Patio + Community Pool!

*Two Chairs & Umbrella Included* (March 1st - October 31st)

Come experience the best of what the world-famous Emerald Coast has to offer for an unbeatable price!

Our townhome, located in the Southbay by the Gulf community, is truly a slice of heaven. Our home is located in the heart of Destin and is just minutes away from everything the area has to offer. We are located on the south side of Highway 98 - that means there are no streets to cross! In fact, our unit is located just 120 yards from the pristine white sand beaches.

Your stay with us comes complete with access to two swimming pools (1 heated), a kiddie pool, 2 lighted tennis courts, pickle ball courts, shuffleboard, a fully stocked and fishable 5 acres lake, and private beach access.

The townhome comes fully furnished with plush and comfortable accommodations. The unit comfortably sleeps 6 with two well-appointed bedrooms, each with en suite bathrooms, and a sleeper sofa in the main living area. One thing that sets us apart from other townhomes is that our backyard is the 5 acre lake! There are two balconies, one off the master bedroom and one of the living room, that you and your guests can relax on as you enjoy the lakefront view. You can also fish right off the balcony!

The kitchen has all of the amenities you may need to cook and entertain and there is a dining area to enjoy as well. There is also a full-size washer and dryer inside the townhome for your convenience. We also provide free internet access in your townhome so that you can stay connected. Lastly, all televisions are smart TV's with access to the internet.

When you are ready to head down to the beach, we also provide 2 complementary beach chairs and an umbrella (a $45/day savings!) - just go to the beach and tell the attendant that you're staying in condo #58 and everything will be set up for you! All you have to do is relax and enjoy the best beaches in the country. (Please note: the season for umbrella and beach chair service is March 1st through October 31st.)

Great getaway SO VERY CLOSE to the beach!!!!

The owner was so easy to work with and very attentive! We loved the view of the lake and watching the ducks in the morning with our coffee. The condo was super cute and very comfortable, like a home away from home. The washer and dryer are wonderful!!! Great location!!!

Had an amazing time with my family at your condo once again, this is second visit! We really enjoyed watching/feeding the ducks/ turtles. Not as busy on beach this time and hardly no rain making it our best vacation yet! Thank you for your generous hospitality! It was a wonderful experience!!!

Another wonderful vacation!

Although I'm late with my review, I just can't say enough about this rental unit and the wonderful owners. Bob, as always, was very helpful and considerate to check with us when we arrived to make sure everything was neat and ready for stay. Another perfect vacation and we hope to be back next summer.

Easy access to family-friendly beach

This location made spending time on the beach easy - just a walk across the parking lot to a dedicated beachfront with umbrella and 2 chairs included, not too crowded. My son also enjoyed feeding the turtles and duck off the balcony. Check the pantry and laundry supplies before you need them as you may need to supplement, but Target and grocery store is just across the street.

About the host

Hosted by Owner operated

Host profile image
It all started when our friends invited us to stay in their condo at Southbay. We fell in love with the white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico in Destin. The rest, as they say, is history!

Why they chose this property

Once you see the beaches in Destin you know that this is the place to be. White sugar sand, excellent temperate weather and wonderful local establishments mix together to make Destin the best kept secret on the Gulf of Mexico.

What makes this property unique

The 5 acre fresh water lake forms the basis of our backyard and is the view you have when waking up in the morning in your comfortable master bedroom or relaxing in your spacious living room. Just steps away from white sugar sand beaches!
