About this house rental


Enjoy all the amenities Southbay has to offer which include: 2 swimming pools and 2 kiddie pools, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, a lake view and only 5 minutes to the private beach. The walk to the beach takes you over the lake via the walking bridge and you will enjoy the lush landscaping of the complex. If the 5-minute walk to the beach proves to be a problem for anyone in your group there is also the option to pack up your car and drive to the Southbay beach where parking is provided. Once you arrive at the beach you will enjoy the sugar white sand beaches and the emerald, green waters which Destin is known for, and we provide the beach services which include two chairs and an umbrella (March through October). At Southbay you are close to everything that Destin has to offer, shopping, grocery stores, restaurants, Harbor Walk, Big Kahuna water park, golf courses and so much more.
At our condo you will find boogie boards, plenty of sand toys, many toys for the kids to play with and a wagon to put all your things in! For your fur babies we provide food bowls.
Our completely renovated 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath condo overlooks a 5-acre lake which is filled with turtles, fish and water birds. The lake allows for a catch and release program, and you can fish right off the bottom deck of the condo.

The master bedroom also has a small refrigerator where you can store your cold drinks if that is your preference. The bathroom has been remodeled to include a large shower with a rain shower head and shower wand sprayer.

The location was beautiful! The condo was so homey and comfortable. We had everything we could possibly need. More than I expected.

We absolutely loved this property for a family with a little. It has private beach access within walking distance (5 minutes). Walk to the 2 sets of pools, each having a regular sized pool and a kiddo pool. We enjoyed watching/feeding the ducks and turtles off our two private balconies. There is a walk out balcony that is right next to the condo. Quiet secluded corner unit and was exactly as described. Amenities were fantastic as we did not have to buy any water items to enjoy our first beach vacation as a family! Parking was easy and check in process was seamless. Communication prior to arrival was great as well! Our little one enjoyed all the planes and helicopters flying over around the Air Force base too. Checkout process was great as well!

We loved the area—absolutely beautiful, with a short walk to the beach. The condo had everything we needed and was beautifully decorated.The only downside was the hot water heater. Unfortunately, only one person could take a quick hot shower before the hot water ran out, which was challenging with kids waiting to shower after a cooler day at the beach.
