Come to Destin, Florida and enjoy the sugar-white beaches and emerald-green waters!

We have a 2-story condo that is fully furnished with all the necessary kitchen appliances, towels, linens & blankets. You have a reserved parking spot within steps from your front door and one additional parking, on first-come-first serve.

Our condo is located on the beach side of Highway 98 on a beautiful five-acre freshwater lake of where you can fish right off your deck or gazebo locatedon the lake. It’s just a five-minute stroll through Southbay's tropical paradise to the sugar-white private beach. We even provide beach toys and a wagon to make things easier to carry. Once at the beach you will be provided with 2 beach chairs and umbrella (March-October). There are two adult and two kiddie pools (one heated...February to Mid-April) within walking distance. You never have to cross a street to get to the beach or pools! Shareable BBQ grills are located on the common grounds for your use. There lighted tennis and pickleball courts, which includes shuffleboard as well. (Shuffleboard equipment is located at the main office).


Our condo has 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths on the first level that were fully renovated (2022). Each bedroom is furnished with a flat-screen TV. The master bedroom includes its own deck with a covered ceiling that overlooks the five-acre freshwater lake with a spectacular view!

The second level has a spacious living room and complete dining area which was renovated in 2021. Enjoy watching a movie on the 65” Smart TV with free cable. Walkout onto the upper deck and enjoy the beautiful sunsets, sitting and sipping at an Adirondack table that seats 6. Grab your fishing pole and try to catch a bass or maybe a snapping turtle that are waiting for you in the lake! The fully equipped kitchen has ceramic floors and granite counter tops. It includes an updated half bath that was fully renovated in 2023 and not to forget...a washer and dryer for your convenience.

We have several floating devices, boogie boards and plenty of sand toys. For your convenience, there is an air-hose to blow up rafts, tubes, and beach balls (located behind the tennis and pickleball courts on the south side of the lake).

Southbay by the Gulf is located in the heart of Destin right off Highway 98 and for the most part is within 5 miles of tons of fun for everyone.

There is Harbor Walk Village for shopping, dining, activities, deep sea fishing, boat rentals, jet ski rentals, pontoon rentals, dolphin cruises and much more.

If you love to shop, there is a huge outlet mall located about ten minutes away. If you are a golfer, there are several great courses nearby. Super Walmart is less than 2 miles away, Publix is caddy-corner across the street from our condo and an Aldi will be coming soon and located directly across the street from our condo as well. There are several shops and restaurants within walking distance too.

Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park, located on Okaloosa Island in Fort Walton Beach, is a historic marine park and aquarium. It offers dolphin and sea lion shows, as well as several marine life exhibits and interactive animal encounters.

The Big Kahuna's Water & Adventure Park is less than a mile away that offers 40 rides and attractions.

The Track Family Fun Park has go-kart rides, kid rides, bumper rides, miniature golf, arcade and thrill rides.

Some of our favorite restaurants are: The Back Porch, AJ.'s Seafood & Oyster Bar, Tailfin's Ale House, Dewey Destin’s Seafood Restaurant on the Bay (a much see at sunset), Fudpucker’s Beachside Bar & Grill that have live gators and shows for the kids.

Fun places to walk to on the beach (beach access only) for lunch or a drink:

---The Sand Flea Beach Bar, located at Sandpiper Cove, which is west of our gazebo at the beach.

---Pelican Tiki Bar, located at Pelican Beach Resort, which is east of our gazebo at the beach.

Another fun recommendation is to take “Destin Water Taxi” for a boat ride to The Harbor Village for dining, shopping, or dancing with the vicinity of the harbor. Look on their website for details.

Whether you are looking for a nice family vacation, a fun girl’s trip or a romantic getaway, Southbay by the Gulf is perfect for everyone!

    We really enjoyed this location for our first stay in Destin! There is a quick walk to the beach. There were not a lot of people on vacation during this time, so it was not crowded and very relaxing. Mrs. Lynda was very helpful and only a phone call away. We only walked for coffee and breakfast, but it is walking distance to some other great spots. The condo is set up just like the pictures. It is equipped with everything you will need. I will come back and I hope to stay here again! The beach chairs are a plus! I don’t have small children so only needing my 1 bag and book was very helpful. Each day our chairs were set up and waiting for us! This is as such a relaxing and soul refreshing trip!

    Great location, close to both pools, easy walk to beach, yet still quiet with 2 outdoor seating areas. Convenient that all bedrooms are on 1st floor.

    We had the most wonderful stay at this property in Destin! The location couldn’t have been better—just a short 5-10 minute walk to the soft white sand and emerald-green water. The home was spotless on arrival, with everything we needed for a comfortable week: fully stocked kitchen, comfy beds, and plenty of towels (including beach towels, which was a nice touch). We loved being close enough to walk to local restaurants and shops- target and Winn Dixie/publix across the street and food close by as well. Parking was easy, and check-in/check-out were completely seamless thanks to the great communication from the host.Our family of three (including a teen) had plenty of space to spread out. The community pool was sparkling clean, and we appreciated the quiet, relaxed vibe after a day at the beach.We will absolutely be booking this property again next time we’re in Destin—it truly felt like our home away from home!

    Check-in was easy. Her instruction on how to enter the property and codes to get in the condo, pool area, and gate to walk across the bridge were explained and easy to understand. Condo was clean and very comfortable. We loved the chair and umbrella service on the beach that came with the room. Very cool views at night from the 2 balcony’s. The location of the condo was close to everything.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The 5 minute walk to the beach wasn't bad, and even on a holiday weekend, it wasn't super crowded at the beach. The best part was that we could see fireworks from the deck!

    Stay was amazing. Condo was super beautiful in and out. Clean as could be. Lake is so nice when it’s lit up at night. Loved sitting on balconies, the patio sets are great. About 5 minutes walk to beach, which is the nicest around. Chairs and umbrella were set up every morning for us. Plenty of places within 10 minute walk of the room. Condo was decorated amazingly! Will definitely be back again.

    This place is absolutely amazing. You are steps from the beach and on the lake so you have great, calm views at home to relax after a day in the sun. Clean and well-provisioned. A lot of space. Quiet neighborhood. Pet friendly, and our dog loved it too. The property managers were super accommodating. We were evacuating from Milton and they allowed us to check in early and tag on an extra night for a reduced rate considering the circumstances and since our power still wasn’t on back home. We loved the place and hope to return for a real vacation soon.

    Overall, the property was clean and nicely decorated. The location was convenient as the complex is near the main road.The beaches were absolutely gorgeous! There was quite a crowd each day. So nice to have a reserved umbrella and two chairs! The beach is definitely within walking distance, winding around the condos, over the bridge, and through pass gates. However, before renting the place, we were under the impression that we would be staying on the South side of the lake. This definitely had an impact on our proximity to the beach. Please be advised when driving to this condo. It is on the North side of the lake.

    We enjoyed our long-weekend family beach getaway. The condo is situated waterfront on the north side of the lake providing relaxing views from both the upstairs and downstair balconies. Though not directly beachfront, the walk across the bridge truly took only about 6 minutes, and the condo has just about every beach/pool toy, float, umbrella, etc. that you could want...along with a collapsible wagon to haul it all. The beach service included as part of the condo reservation was a really nice feature. We had a front row spot with chairs and an umbrella ready for us every day. Lynda was very responsive and helpful to make sure we got started off right. We'll gladly stay here again on a future trip!
