Experience Your Vacation Haven

A shell’s throw from the beach, located in Destiny East, is Beauty and the Beach, a three story Mediterranean-style beach villa with a Spanish tile roof overlooking the Emerald Coast. Outfitted with endless amenities, substantial outdoor seating, and plenty of living space, Beauty and the Beach is the perfect destination home for making memories.

Beauty and the Beach is elegantly appointed from top to bottom. With 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, this home sleeps 14 people. As you enter through the grand courtyard, you’ll notice a plentiful seating area with a gas grill—great for relaxing and entertaining.

Inside, the spacious open floor plan invites you to kick back and relax. Coastal hues permeate the space, perfectly capturing the beachy ambiance. The living room is outfitted with a fireplace and plasma TV. The gourmet kitchen is flanked by a breakfast bar with five barstools. The dining table has seating for eight. The first floor features are rounded out with a powder room and a sunroom that has two twin beds overlooking the back patio.

Floor two has three bedrooms—two masters, both with king beds and LED TVs and one with an iron queen bed and LED TV. The primary master has casual seating overlooking the courtyard below. The other two bedrooms lead out to the covered porch. All bedrooms on the second floor have private baths.

The third floor is accessible by a unique stainless steel staircase, and is a true gem. There’s one room with two sets of double bunk beds and a half bath. There’s also a large sun deck with views of Lake Destiny.

Outside of the home, you’ll want to experience the Destiny East community. There’s a pool, hot tub, two tennis courts, giant playground, covered outdoor grilling area with two gas grills, and million-dollar IMAX clubhouse and gym.

Amazing House and easy access to beach
This house was a perfect fit for my our family. The checkin/checkout process was super easy. It is very spacious and very clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with any utensil or kitchen item a person might need to cook with so we got to make homemade meals everyday. We will stay here again.

Rats
Things were find until we went outside. Large Rats started running around. I made a call to management, was told some incorrect information, because they knew rats were a problem the next door neighbors had Rat boxes. Needless to say we couldn't enjoy outside. And was fined $50 for putting the trash out to early.

Beautiful property
This was our first time to Destin and the property was just beautiful. We spent so much time in the house. Our favorite part was definitely the kitchen, that island is amazing. I loved the amenities and the pool was bigger than we imaged.

Beautiful home and Fantawstic Location
This home and property was well kept and a great location. The parking experience was inadequate and somewhat scammish. If you advertise a home that sleeps 14 people , shouldn't you have enough parking or give them access to your garage so citations can be avoided? HOA rules have you constantly moving vehicles to avoid more citations. Yes we read the rules. Moneymaker for HOA. Maybe a warning first.

Perfect getaway!!!!!
This was our first family vacation with my parents and sisters and their families, and this house was perfect!! It's very spacious, gorgeous, and very clean! Everybody LOVED this house, there is not one thing wrong with it! We didn't want to come back home to Texas. We are already planning our next trip and more than likely we will book this house again! We have a lot of family and friends back home, I will definitely be recommending this place! Thanks you so much for everything!!!!!

Great time with the family!
We really enjoyed staying in your house. The house is very spacious and has all the amenities a family needs for vacation. We have 4 teenagers and 2 tween children and we all had plenty of space to spread out and relax. We enjoyed being able to walk to the beach and the pool and 2 of my daughters really enjoyed the gym. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful and just beautiful to walk around. The location is really close to just about everything in Destin so if you have to drive somewhere it doesn't take long. We went to the grocery frequently and really enjoyed cooking in the kitchen. We also appreciated the fact that we could do laundry daily after going to the beach or pool. I would definitely recommend staying in your home and would very much like to return next year. Thanks so much for all you do to make sure your guests feel at home.

We stayed at your house and was very much pleased with everything. The house was very spacious with enough room for everyone to enjoy. It felt homey to us and everything that went along with it.We came from Georgia to enjoy this beautiful weather and house. We were on our women retreat so we got to know everyone better. We would love to come back next year to enjoy another one of your beautiful homes.

Lovely Home
We shared your Lovely home 8/13-8/10 and enjoyed every moment. The house is quite specious and perfectly decorated. I am a widow with 4 children. I bring them to Destin Every summer for the family vacation. This was by far the nicest house we have vacationed in. The master bedroom shower was a daily argument regarding who showered first! (Super nice). The 5 of us had plenty of space to enjoy. We loved the open kitchen, dining and living room. It abled us to always be together. We had a wonderful family Vacation! Thanks a Million!

We stayed in your beautiful home for a fun week. The weather was on and off from sunny to cloudy, however, coming from snowy Wisconsin weather we can't complain! We enjoyed every bit of the house, and the amenities that went along with it were GREAT! Overall it was a much needed trip and we'd like to thank you guys for letting us enjoy Destin by staying in your house. -Osterberg Family
