Description

This hospitable vacation home includes seven bedrooms with the ability to comfortably accommodate up to 20 fortunate guests. Sea the Sun is located in the Dunes of Destin, a prestigious gated residential community that is a wonderful world of its own yet right in the heart of Destin. It features lush landscaping, a large lagoon festooned by fountains magically lit up at night, a prominent community pool and direct access to the bright white beach.

This stately home has columned balconies on the second and third floors in a lovely setting adorned by tropical palms. Sea the Sun was deliberately designed to accommodate guests on all three levels, which formed a perfect place for a reunion of different families or groups of friends. The first floor includes a bonus den, while a kitchenette is included with a microwave, coffee machine, wet bar, ice maker, blender, small refrigerator and plenty of cabinetry for all your goodies. Two of the beautifully decorated Guest Bedrooms are on this level both with king-sized beds and a shared full hall bath that also serves as a convenient powder room.

Out back a palm-studded pool is paired with a paver tiled patio and grill. A table with seating allows you to enjoy favorite drinks and a poolside cookout. This home is just a short stroll from the beach so in minutes you may go from taking a freshwater plunge to luxuriating in the glowing green gulf. On the sand, you'll enjoy two seasonal beach setups, which includes four chairs and two umbrellas.

The main open living area on the second floor has upscale, comfortable coastal décor with vinyl wood flooring, a plush wraparound couch, and two bent cane armchairs. A wall-mounted flatscreen TV provides entertainment. Double glass doors lead to a breezy balcony while a columned portal frames an adjoining formal dining room. A rustic vintage chandelier hangs above a long hardwood table with eight matching spindle-backed side chairs and a pair of high backed cloth end chairs. Three more may be seated at the richly mottled granite-topped bar that faces the open kitchen which features high-end stainless steel appliances. The spacious well-appointed Master Bedroom Suite is also on this level with a king sized bed, balcony access as well as a full private luxury bath that features a double vanity, long tub, and separate walk-in shower.

The other four Guest Bedrooms provide separate quarters on the top level. Each bedroom has a charming coastal cottage look and they are paired with two connected luxurious full baths. One set of quarters includes a king-sized bed paired across the bathroom with a bunk room that also has balcony access. The other quarters has a king sized bed paired across a full luxury bath with a queen suite.

Besides the beautiful beach, private pool and community pool this home is also just a quick trip over to the Mellow Mushroom for pizza and right across the road from Big Kahuna's Water and Adventure Park. This sought after locale places you very close to Destin's Harborwalk Village for dining, drinking, shopping and festival fun.

Great location in a gated neighborhood.
The house itself was great, but the beach was really the highlight. Amazing clear water, powder white sand, no debris. High quality beach.
Jackson S from Oxford, MS - Stayed January 2026
Thank you for the 5-star review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at Sea the Sun and loved the gated neighborhood and beautiful beach just steps away. Ocean Reef Resorts truly appreciates your kind feedback, and we’d love to welcome you back to the beach for another relaxing getaway soon.

Spacious Home with Great Location & Ocean Views
The house is in a great location! You could see the ocean from the 2nd/3rd balcony. The location was centered where it was no more than 10 minutes for things like the boardwalk / go kart park. The private beach is great but we didn’t go to it besides walking in and staying a few minutes since it doesn’t allow guest to bring our own stuff (chairs, blankets, umbrella etc.) . The 4 chairs & umbrella for the beach are great but realistic we were 14 in the house (so not enough for everyone). The heated pool is worth it and you can feel the difference. Kitchen was well equipped and grill was hooked up to direct gas. Lots of towels and plenty of beds/bathrooms. Overall enjoyed the stay and would go again.
Mariangel R from Smyrna, GA - Stayed March 2025
Thank you for the thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the spacious layout, ocean views, and convenient location—being just minutes from local attractions really makes a difference. We’re happy to hear the heated pool, well-equipped kitchen, and ample space made your stay comfortable. We appreciate your feedback about the beach setup. We’d love to welcome you back for another great getaway with Ocean Reef Resorts!

Beautiful property
This is such a beautiful home with lots of space. My large family was very comfortable. The private access to the beach was a short walk around the corner and it was perfect! The pool area was great. I think we spent most of our time there. The location was amazing. Everything was right in the area. It was such a luxurious experience and I can’t wait to do it again. I would definitely book this house again. Communication with Ocean Reef was A+. Thanks for the amazing vacation accommodations.
Kimberly W from Greer, SC - Stayed May 2022
Thank you for the wonderful 5-star review!

Ocean Reef Resorts truly appreciates your kind words about our communication, and we’d love to welcome you back to the beach for another incredible getaway soon.

It was in walking distance to many stores & rite on the beach side. The amenities were just as expected & my family loved the pool. The guest portal provided all information I needed!
