Enjoy the large game room while watching your favorite sport or TV show on the 70” Smart TV, play ping pong, foosball, shuffleboard or cornhole with your family and friends. Take a short 2-minute walk on the boardwalk in front of the house to see stunning sunsets over Lake Christine or continue your walk for another minute to view the sunset against the beautiful beach with white sand and emerald water.

With 3 large King bedrooms (2 with en suites), plus a bunk room (3 double beds), hallway bunk beds (2 twins), a pack ‘n play for little ones & 3800 square feet of space, an open Kitchen/Dining/Living area with floor-to-ceiling views, and 4 private balconies—you’ll have plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy the serenity of it all in this completely renovated luxury home with all new furnishings.

But it's the white sand and emerald water beaches that make Destin the go-to, relax-by-the-beach vacation spot and the 2 beautiful private beaches are a short 3-minute walk down the boardwalk in front of our house to the Gulfside beach or walk 3 minutes to the end of our street to the harborside private beach. And so you don’t get hungry or thirsty while lounging on the beach, you can pack up food and beverages and take them with you to the beach —you’ll have a rolling cooler, cooler bags, ice packs, and a rolling beach cart. Don’t worry about having to pack beach towels in your suitcase or bringing beach equipment, we have everything you need —12 beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, floats, float pump and beach games. For your convenience, we even include 2 beach chairs and an umbrella setup on the beach waiting for you each day (seasonal). From our 2 private beaches, you can spot dolphins playing in the water, fish off the East Jetty, snorkel and see sea turtles, watch boats go in and out of the harbor and view the spectacular weekly harbor fireworks show (seasonal).

If you're too tired to cook, order a Charcuterie board or other catering items like take and bake casseroles from our personal friend Shelli who can cater practically anything you can think of or there’s a personal chef or hibachi chef we recommend that can come on the property and cook for you. Or we can recommend numerous world-class restaurants nearby. We are here to help you have the perfect vacation.

Left anything at home Need to go shopping We are conveniently located with a Target, Winn Dixie, a brand new Publix and Walgreens only a mile away directly across Hwy 98.

You’ll also enjoy the amenities our luxury neighborhood has to offer—take a dip in our 3 pools (one is heated seasonally, plus our new 3rd pool is an infinity edge with a stunning view of the Gulf and plans are to add a heater to this pool too!) or relax in one of the hot tubs, kids can play on the splash pad, bird watch at our two neighborhood lakes, play shuffleboard or a game of basketball, tennis or pickle ball.

    The owner has truly thought of everything to make vacation at this property as easy as possible. We really appreciated how well-appointed this beautiful home is, as well as the cleanliness and all the fun games in the garage. Our extended family would be thrilled to stay here again.

    This home is just beautiful. The attention to detail and responsive host made this stay perfect. Location to private beaches and access to fishing the jetty made for a perfect location away from the Destin crowds. Can’t wait to come back

    First, this is a really cool location with access to a main beach with chair service as well as a little cove surrounded by rocks. We saw a ton of wildlife and the kids loved the herons and catching little fish in the surf. The house is super well stocked, especially if you’re staying with little kids. There were lots of beach toys, nets, buckets, floats, etc. We brought TP, trash bags and detergent but didn’t need any of those things as she had provided plenty. Will definitely stay again. Thank you, Macey.

    We had an amazing time. The house was gorgeous and clean (very important to me) with great proximity to a wonderful beach and two pool areas. Everything in the house was thought of to the very last detail. Amenities / toiletries in the bathroom, laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, paper towels, toilet paper, games, spices, cooking supplies, everything you could ever need. Lots of places won’t supply all of this or leave you very little, but we needed for nothing and had an amazing trip.

    My family and I just returned from a five night vacation at Serenity by the Shore. We all had a great time, and really enjoyed staying at this beach house. Everything in the house is in great condition and it has one of the best locations in Destin Pointe.

    I can’t thank Macey enough for letting us stay in her beautiful home! The house had everything a family could need and the community couldn’t be more family friendly. She showed us so much kindness throughout the week. We were so lucky to stay in this home. My son was so sad to leave. Just a really special vacation overall!

    We enjoyed a lovely four-night stay in Serenity by the Shore over Labor Day weekend. The home is spectacular. We loved the layout, and the bunk room was perfect for our three children (ages 3-8). All of the finishes in the home are beautiful, and no detail was spared. What sets this home apart, however, is all of the extras that Macey offers her guests. We loved the charging station and noise machines in each room, as well as all the extra towels. The entire house is also stocked with things that you easily forget when packing (plastic bags, foil, toiletries, steamer and distilled water). The game room was also a hit with our kids when they came in for a break from the pool or beach, and also has tons of extra beach toys and floats. Finally, the location is great. The house is very convenient to the walkway across the lake, which makes all the difference after a long day at the beach! We’ve stayed in a different house in Destin each of the last five years and our whole family agreed that this was the nicest! We would love to stay again!

    We had a fantastic experience renting this property in Destin on VRBO. The property was impeccably clean and had all the amenities one could need for a comfortable vacation. This was our second stay at this property, and we loved it just as much as the first time.

    First of all, wanted to mention the area. Much quieter and less crazy than Seaside area. Plenty of shopping, grocery, and restaurants nearby. The beaches were a lot less crowded as well. The house itself was really great and looked amazing. There was plenty of common space as well as size of the bedrooms. The bunk room proved to be a favorite for the kids. The kitchen was well appointed and was easy to move around for multiple people. The first floor garage had been converted to an entertainment area with flat screen TV, ping pong, foosball, and shuffleboard. There was a second fridge downstairs with cold packs for the beach cooler and plenty of beach toys and chairs. There were 2 community pools within a few minutes walking and the beach was a 5 minute walk, but there is also a beach shuttle running during the day that will pick you up and drop off at your house. Also wanted to mention how nice it was working with the owner. She was very communicative before arrival and was even pro-active about contacting us about construction being done in the community,

    If you’re looking for a vacation where all you have to do is bring your clothes and groceries, this is the house to stay at. Our family of 6 has stayed in Destin Pointe 5 different summers and this was by far our favorite beach house. Location was PERFECT to both pools and both beach access points. The converted garage space was fully stocked with everything to entertain all four of our kids, ages 16-4. The host provides beach toys, a wagon, a cooler, chairs, umbrellas, there’s ping pong, tennis rackets. Foosball etc. you name it! We were so surprised to find a fully stocked kitchen with every gadget and dish you’d ever need, and coffee bar as well. All the drawers and cabinets are labeled which makes settling in the first few days much easier. The hosts provide many ideas and options in organized booklets that guided our family on what to do in the area and we even tried a few new places and loved their recommendations. Overall, we had the best time and enjoyed every minute in this beautiful beach house.
