Dreamy Beachfront Paradise Skywater 1309

TedRating, 5 stars6 days ago
The condo was perfect for my wife and I. The balcony was amazing, I had my coffee every morning overlooking the beach. The amenities at the resort were great, outside pool and an inside pool, workout facilities, bar grills and a little market. Everyone who worked there was real nice. The host was very responsive and gave great instructions on getting to the location and to get into the condo. Thanks for an amazing weekend.

Beach access / Ocean View from balcony / King bed

LisaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had the best time staying in Destin over Memorial Day weekend! The location was perfect—just a few steps from the beach, which made it so easy to enjoy the sun and sand without the hassle of driving or finding parking. The space itself was super clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. One of the biggest perks for me was having a washer and dryer right there—it made keeping up with beach clothes and our baby’s laundry so convenient. Our host, Eileen, was absolutely wonderful—responsive, friendly, and made the whole booking and check-in process seamless. We felt right at home and can’t wait to come back!

We had an awesome stay! The unit was spotless and beautiful. It was well stocked and an added bonus was the chairs and wagon we could borrow for beach time. The location is awesome and within walking distance to several great restaurants. Stanton checked in multiple times to make sure it was a great experience, which it was! We would highly recommend!

Waterfront Getaway w/ Pool Access – Bluefish #7

ShanaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We went to Okaloosa Island from Pensacola for a weekend getaway at the beach with the kids. 7.4.7 months We had such a great time! Easy to find, plenty of parking. I love Old Bay Steamer it is a must every time we are down there and this spot was easily 3 mins in the car! It is right on the inter coastal way so you see boats coming in and out to go to crab island. We did not know the Billy Bowlegs Festival was the weekend we went so there was a firework show right in front of the air bnb! It was amazing!! Plenty of beach toys and chairs to use. The pool was as described. We as a family of 5 were comfortable for the weekend. Thanks for hosting us! Host is very responsive and helpful.

We had a very pleasurable experience. It was very private and peaceful. Little bit of a walk to the beach but enjoyable. We loved how clean the unit was. The view was stunning! The only recommendation we have is to maybe supply a map. We went to the wrong beach area and had to ask where the other pool was. We would definitely stay again and wish this stay was longer!!!

Perfect updated studio. Very clean and cozy. You could smell the cleanliness before ever opening the door.

Your guide to Destin

Introduction

The sand in Destin is so white you could mistake it for snow. But winter isn’t really a thing here on the Emerald Coast, where the sun shines on 24 miles of beaches along the fish-filled Gulf of Mexico, drawing vacationers year-round. Watersports and deep-sea fishing are main attractions, and you might even hear locals describe Destin as “the world’s luckiest fishing village.”

The town is developed, with high-rise condos, small amusement parks, and strip malls flanking the street, and an eclectic restaurant scene. Destin gets its share of Spring Breakers, but holds equal appeal for families and retirees who just want to hang out on the quartz-colored sands of Henderson Beach State Park, Crystal Beach, Miramar Beach, or neighboring Fort Walton Beach.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Destin

The Gulf of Mexico lends a breeze in the summer, while its warm water keeps Destin from getting too chilly in winter. This means visitors can enjoy a moderate climate — and about 225 sunny days — throughout the year. Summers are hotter, with mostly 80-degree days and high humidity, though it’s not unheard of for the temperature to inch into the 90s. Late summer and early fall see the most heat but also rain, and in winter, temperatures hover around 65 degrees during the day and drop into the low 40s at night.

Most people prefer to book vacation rentals for April and May, when conditions are perfect and summertime crowds — and peak prices — have yet to arrive. Regardless of when you’re traveling, be sure to pack your sunscreen, sunglasses, and sunhat.


Top things to do in Destin

Destin Harbor Boardwalk and HarborWalk Village

For a leisurely stroll past fishing charters, water activity kiosks, tasty restaurants, and boutiques, there’s Destin Harbor’s quarter-mile boardwalk. This is the hub of commercial and tourist activity in Destin, and also a great spot to enjoy watching the boats coming in and out. An extension of the boardwalk continues into the HarborWalk Village, an epicenter of family fun and waterfront restaurants and pubs.

Henderson Beach State Park

The area’s best beach has a natural feel and 6,000 feet of flawless white sand right up against the emerald-green Gulf of Mexico. There’s a short nature trail through a coastal dune ecosystem, and a boardwalk that leads to the beach (which is accessible and offers beach wheelchairs). Throw a chair down in the sand and stay all day; the sunsets are often epic.

Shores at Crystal Beach Park

A family favorite, this pristine beach park is an ideal spot for building sandcastles and frolicking in the relatively tame sea, while also providing restrooms, showers, and shaded pavilions. Consider grabbing a to-go lunch from a local sandwich shop and taking advantage of the serene picnic area.
