This large stately two-story vacation home in the exclusively gated enclave of Destiny West has five bedrooms with a bonus room and accommodations for 14 beach-loving guests. It is a short stroll away from the beautiful white sand shore with views of the glorious jewel-toned gulf waters. It is also only steps away from the lovely lagoon-shaped community pool and clubhouse. This large swimming pool features an expansive patio that’s adorned with lush tropical plantings. A simmering hot tub nearby provides pampered relaxation in a secluded area bordered by towering palm trees. The lavish two-story Destiny West clubhouse includes bathroom facilities, showers, dressing rooms, a fitness center, and an upper-level sun deck overlooking the refreshing pool. Tennis courts are also nearby and lighted for cooler night play.

Paradise By The Beach has a spacious open living, dining, and kitchen area. They are on the first floor offering comfortable furnishings and beautiful appoints, including travertine marble flooring and sunny windows for natural light. Two sets of sliding glass doors lead out to a furnished covered patio overlooking the backyard. The living area includes two light blue couches which face a wide wall-mounted flatscreen TV. It’s flanked by regal arch-topped built-in shelves that display coastal decorative art. A charming picnic-style table with four cottage chairs and a bench sits beside one set of glass patio doors. The open kitchen includes cream-colored cabinetry, mottled granite-topped counters, an accented kitchen island, and stainless steel appliances to serve your culinary needs. A bar with six round hardwood topped stools inspires fun entertainment. This floor also has a cozy queen bedroom, a garage-converted game room, and a hall bath with a walk-in shower that serves as a convenient powder room.

The remaining guest quarters are upstairs, including the master bedroom with a king-sized bed, a balcony with suspended basket swings for relaxation, and a large flatscreen TV for evening viewing pleasure. A unique connected bunk nook with two queen beds allows a couple with young ones to have their own space. The luxurious ensuite bath includes a deep soaking tub and a glass-walled walk-in shower. Another bunk room on this level with access to a full hall bath includes a queen-sized bed and three twins. Two other cottage-style guest bedrooms also include king-sized beds, and one of them has an ensuite bath. A bonus room with a queen sleeper sofa also has access to a romantic private balcony.

This delightful Destin locale is across from a long promenade that parallels the crystalline shoreline with multiple access points and picnic pavilions for beachside gatherings. It is centered upon The Crab Trap restaurant, which features a charming golden Americana style that resembles a beachside resort from the early 1900s. They serve delicious seafood, po’boy sandwiches, gumbo, tasty appetizers, fresh fish, and adult refreshments. Other great restaurants with friendly beach bars, grocery stores, and shopping adventures are minutes away. The idyllic, tropically landscaped Destin Commons retail village is nearby, with a fine array of shopping destinations, restaurants, bars, and a multiplex AMC movie theater. Ocean Reef guests receive special discounted rates at a championship golf course only minutes away at the Seascape Resort. The captivating Village of Baytowne Wharf is also close by in Sandestin, inspired by New Orleans French Quarter architecture. The swank Grand Boulevard is just outside the gates of Sandestin with shopping venues, restaurants, outdoor concerts, family amusements, year-round festivals, and vibrant seasonal firework celebrations.

Great place!
Everything we wanted!
Colby B from Jenks OK - Stayed October 2022

Perfect location, neighborhood and house
This place was perfect for our family group of 10. And we had room to spare. We loved it that we had easy access to the pool and to the beach. It was the best location I’ve ever picked for that. We had an air conditioning problem on the 2nd floor, but maintenance was on it right away. I would definitely come back again. Loved it!

FAQs

We welcome all of your questions! Most property-specific details can be answered in the AMENITIES tab, for example, "Is beach service included?", "Is there a community pool?" and "How far is the beach?". Additional answers may be found in our Rental Policies.

Still have unanswered questions? We invite you to ask below. Our vacation specialists look forward to providing you with a detailed response to help you find the best place by the beach!

Is beach service included or available at the beach nearest this property?
Audra K - Posted: 06/04/2022

Answer:

Beach chairs and umbrellas are not provided complimentary, but are most certainly available for rent. Once you have secured your reservation, we will provide you with the beach services contact information. The beach access is located at the end of Gulf Beach Drive, less than a two-minute walk from the home.

Is this dog friendly?
Sandra L - Posted: 10/11/2022

Answer:

We love our dogs here at Ocean Reef, however - Paradise By The Beach is a non-pet-friendly home.  If you are unable to board your pup, you may want to consider one of these Pet Friendly Rentals.

Is the beach access gated/or private for the Destiny West neighborhood?
Katherine G - Posted: 05/30/2023

Answer:

Destiny West utilizes the public beach directly across the street at the Crab Trap restaurant. This beach access offers parking, public restrooms, picnic pavilions, a beach bar, playground, and a lifeguard on duty during peak times of the year. The beach is less than a three-minute walk away!
