About this property

Gulf Front 2000sqf Condo, Large Balcony, Private Beach & Pool, Free Beach Setup

Oceania 706 is a spacious Gulf front condo with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. It is located on the 7th floor and has magnificent views of the Gulf of Mexico. Upon entering the condo, you will first notice the floor-to-ceiling windows offering unobstructed panoramic views of the emerald-green Gulf of Mexico and the sugar-white sandy beach.

Oceania is a gated condominium with one of the most extensive private beaches in the area. Oceania is considered a low-density building with only 71 units in the entire building, giving everyone plenty of room on the beach. Amenities include a private beach, beach service (two beach chairs and umbrella set up daily - Mar-Oct), reserved covered parking, swimming pool, fitness room, gas grills, wireless internet, enhanced cable TV package, and keyless access.

The condo also offers an impressive balcony where you can see for miles from the 7th floor! Enjoy your morning coffee, afternoon lunches, and relaxing dinners, all while watching the beautiful ocean waves. The balcony can be accessed from three different sliding glass doors and offers lounge chairs and tables. You will enjoy entertaining or just relaxing every day and night on the balcony. Curl up and read your favorite book, watch the dolphins swim by, or enjoy the ocean breeze as life’s pressures melt away.

The kitchen has newer cabinets and higher-end appliances and is fully equipped with all the necessary tools to prepare your favorite meals.

The large living and dining area has a bar with a stand-alone ice maker ready for your entertaining. The spacious living room will give everyone plenty of room to spread out. Sofa sheets are provided for the sofa sleeper to allow the condo to sleep up to eight. The living room has a 63" flat-screen smart TV with an upgraded TV package.

The master bedroom has a wall of windows overlooking the gulf, 47" TV, a huge walk-in closet, and the bathroom offers a double vanity, a Jacuzzi bathtub, and a separate walk-in shower.

The second and third bedrooms each have private baths, queen-sized beds, large closets, and 32" LED TVs. All of the bathrooms are equipped with hairdryers.

Oceania is located on Holiday Isle which is a small peninsula in the Destin area. This peninsula is only a few miles in length and is surrounded by Destin Harbor to the north and the Gulf of Mexico to the south. Holiday Isle is off the beaten path but centrally located, where you are literally minutes away from all the shopping, dining, fishing, amusements, golf, and fun the Destin area offers. Destin has abundant water-view restaurants and fun dockside bars; plenty of restaurants from formal dining to fast food to your classic mom-and-pop. Destin offers a world-class charter fishing fleet, sailing excursions, sunset cruises, dolphin cruises, pleasure boat rentals, diving, and snorkeling trips. Nearby are abundant shopping opportunities, from exclusive boutiques to outlet stores to antique shops. Numerous golf courses and amusement parks are only a short drive away. And don’t forget the beautiful Emerald Coast with the whitest sand with the softest grain you’ll ever feel.

Looking for something to do in the fall? Check out Destin in October!! The Destin Seafood Festival and the annual Destin Fishing Rodeo take place in October, and they are a lot of fun.

The best VRBO experience I have had

This condo is beautiful and perfectly located. We did a girls’ high school spring break reunion trip (36 years after the 1st one) and having 3 master bedrooms was great. Additionally, I had to call Marcia, the owner, for something. She was immediately responsive and kind. I can’t say enough about this place. The towels were soft, the amenities were great, the view cannot be beat, and Steven, the beach attendant, was helpful and had our chairs and umbrella ready to go. The private beach and heated pool - just wow!! I would stay here again if coming to Destin. In fact, not sure I could stay anywhere else. We were spoiled!

Perfect Fall Getaway at the Beach!

Our visit was exceptional! Check-in and check-out was as simple and efficient as we have ever experienced. Home was exceptionally well kept, decorated, furnished, and stocked with everything one would need. Beach and ocean views were beautiful! Thank you M@K for allowing your beach home to be enjoyed by us for a few days of relaxation. 🎃

Best View Ever!

The furniture and linens, rugs are very dated. It would have 5 stars if updated. We had 5 kids and 3 adults and they loved the closet of the beach items and games!! Loved the space and 60’ windows looking out to sea. Short walk to the beach which was extremely private.

Beautiful

This is our second time staying at this property and loved every second of it! The views from the balcony are breathtaking and the beach is just a walk downstairs. We saw dolphins, stingrays, and even a shark on our stay and a ton of fish with the crystal clear water. The best part, is a private beach so it isn’t crowded at all Would highly recommend.

Family Beach Vacay

Amazing view! We are all honestly going to miss waking up to the view everyday! The porch area is large enough to hang with the whole family which we loved. Each bedroom had its own on suite full bathroom which was also a plus when everyone was getting ready at the same time. Super convent to area restaurants and grocery ect. Literally walk off the elevator and around to pool and straight onto beach from there!!! Easy! Only thing is they don’t leave but a couple laundry pods/ dishwasher pods/trash bags- so would bring a few from home if you don’t want to buy when there. Over all very clean and comfortable place and we would definitely stay again in the future! Thanks for sharing your amazing beachfront condo with us!

Simply Amazing

By far the absolute best place we have stayed. Fully stocked kitchen for dinners in, This feels more like a home than a rental. Other rentals boast a private beach but you get there and see it’s you and 1000’s of others. This is truly a private beach! We will be back next year!

My family and I (7 in total) stayed at this amazing condo for 5 nights. The view is absolutely breathtaking and the host was amazing to work with. We enjoyed the beach and pool time and eating together. I enjoyed reading on the balcony at night while listening to the waves. I wish we would’ve stayed longer but I hope to come back next year. I especially enjoyed the check in book where we could read about what other families enjoyed and leave our own special message!!

About the host

Hosted by Marcia Matthias

Host profile image
Ken and Marcia Matthias made a dream come true when they purchased Oceania 706 from the Hines family in December 2014. The Matthias' have been vacationing on Holiday Isle in Destin with their two daughters and close friends since 1993.

Why they chose this property

Prior to 2014, we had rented condos at other complexes on Holiday Ilse. In September 2014, we rented a condo in Oceania for the first time and immediately realized we had found the ideal property in Destin. Oceania offers so much more than most condos - from the large balcony overlooking the beautiful serene Gulf to the large, open floor plan to the awesome beach - it is just the perfect place.

What is unique about Oceania is overall, the complex is small, consisting of 9 floors and 71 gulf-front units with only 24 actively on the rental program. The complexes to the right and left of Oceania are also on the small side and do not allow rentals. Therefore a vacationer has plenty of sandy white beach and ocean waves to enjoy. We believe you will find the privacy and quality to entice you to make this your vacation destination.

Bennett Development constructed Oceania. Their detail and quality in building exceed all others.

What makes this property unique

The complex is immaculately maintained. Nice perks include a covered parking place, keyless entry, a remote opener for the front gate, an ice machine in the condo, and free beach service (one umbrella and two chairs)! We also give our guests access to our owner's closet, which is loaded with beach chairs, toys, coolers, nets, etc.

Destin is known for deep-sea fishing, gorgeous sunsets, and shopping galore. Oceania is literally minutes from everything - Paradise awaits you!
