Destin, Florida
If you’re looking for a relaxing place for your family to stay that delivers the comforts of home but with the luxurious amenities of a resort, you will love your stay at DESTINY HIDEAWAY! This one-story villa has a master bedroom with a king-size bed, a 55" TV, and a door to the back patio. The master bath is a showpiece with white marble counters, soaker tub and a frameless glass shower with a Bluetooth speaker. Two bedrooms on the other size of the house each have a queen-size bed; the back bedroom opens to the back patio while the front bedroom includes a baby changing table. Right off the living area is the bonus kids' room with a twin-over-double bunk bed, a kids' table for play, and lots of shelves to store their toys and games.
The interiors are light-filled and open with comfortable gathering spaces: a dining room table that seats 8, a semi-open galley kitchen with an open breakfast bar for socializing, and of course the living area with a 65" TV (YouTube TV provided) and a foyer with even more seating. Enjoy the sizeable backyard from the screened-in porch or from the deck complete with a direct line natural gas grill. You can park up to three cars here - one in the garage with the 6-passenger golf cart (included!) and two in the driveway. For added security, the property is equipped with a doorbell camera and a security camera above the garage door. If you encounter any issues at all, the owners live next door and are available to help in any way they can.
Destiny Hideaway’s location is the best of all worlds! Located in Destin's exclusive gated community Destiny East, it is situated on a cul-de-sac so you can enjoy peace and quiet away from it all, yet you are just a few steps from the walking trail that takes you right around the corner to Club Destiny where you can enjoy the resort-style neighborhood pool, playground, spa, cabana, fitness center, tennis courts and more! Take the golf cart out the south gate to scenic 98, and beach access is just a 1/2 mile away with plenty of beachy restaurants. Restaurants and shopping and water activities surround Destiny East so you will find plenty to do, eat, and explore during your Destin, FL vacation.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Everything was extremely clean and the house was well prepped for us to enjoy ourselves. The golf cart served us well for our trips to the beach and also to local restaurants. There were no surprises or disappointments and the description of the property was completely accurate! We would certainly stay here again!
First off Denise the owner was very accommodating we felt like we were at home. We had plenty of privacy here. So I’m not sure why there was other negative reviews about that. Yes there is a camera outside but I have those to at home as well. The property had everything we needed. It was very clean and spacious. The home even had candles ( it was my husbands birthday ) Denise even dropped off a birthday gift. Very kind of the owner. We loved this beautiful home. The pool in community was gorgeous and very big. My kids loved the pool playground and the bunk beds at the home. This home also comes with golf cart and that was a highlight for us. Core memories were made here. Thank you Denise. Also there was pool inflatables paddle board sand toys and chairs for beach and even beach towels. Anything we forgot to bring the house had. You won’t regret staying here. We are looking forward to booking again next year.
Nice house w/ great, open layout. The cleaning crew is fantastic - we actually had a clean floor. Normally, our socks & feet are quickly dirty (at other houses), but even after spending most days inside due to storms, it was finally not the case. The rest of the house was also well kept. The owners live next door & are helpful & quick to respond. The mattresses are very, very firm. The master has a king but the other two beds seem to be fulls rather than queens (smaller than our queens at least). The kids loved the bunk room & picnic table. While we bring & use our own dishes/cooking supplies, the kitchen is very well-stocked. The same goes for the house in general. Access to the garage was helpful. Taking the path makes for an easy 12-min. walk to the beach & it’s only 3-5 min. to the pool/clubhouse/playground. This was our first time not having a private pool so we took the kids to the community pool during a couple of breaks from the rain. There was a large group of people smoking pot in the hot tub one evening, which was not what we would usually expect in Destiny East, especially around so many kids. The clubhouse no longer allows food/drinks in the movie theater. The projector was broken, ending our movie early. They are working on replacing it, but ask before reserving. We did not use the gym this trip. We enjoyed & would recommend Destiny Hideaway.
House and golf cart were great and we have stayed in this neighborhood for six consecutive years now and love it. I booked for my wife and I along with three of my children because my oldest had other plans which fell through the week before so we ended up bringing her and her boyfriend (7 ppl total, house occupancy 8ppl). I got a text from owner shortly after we arrived wanting a count of my total party which let me know we were being actively watched on security system which made me a little uncomfortable. I explained the situation and venmo’d the $280 for extra occupancy no big deal. The first night I got a ticket for parking on the street which was my bad so I Venmo’d the owner the $50 with my apologies and said it wouldn’t happen again. Then a couple hours later the owners are knocking on the door to discuss my party size and parking which we have already resolved over text. Two days later I’m parked in the driveway and my bumper was approximately 6 inches over sidewalk and owner sends me a text complete with picture showing my violation so I came back from the beach to move my vehicle up 6 inches. I received correspondence from the owner every day about one small thing or the other. Personally when I spend 5K for a week rental I really just want to be left alone and enjoy my vacation with as few distractions as possible. The previous 5 years we have stayed in destiny east I’ve not had any contact with the owner outside of check in/out which I prefer.
This was our first time in Destin, and it was probably the best family vacation we've ever had. The house was beautiful! Perfect location- close enough to the beach but far enough away from all of the crowded hotels and rentals. The gated community was super quiet, well maintained, and had a wonderful pool and playground that my little ones absolutely loved. The house was super clean, had every amenity that we could possibly need, including my husbands favorite part- a golf cart! We took the golf cart everywhere- it was perfect. Denise was the best host too, she made sure we were well taken care of and left us with more then we could have asked for. We can't wait to come back.
We had a great experience staying at Destiny Hideaway and plan to stay again in the future! Thanks so much to Denise for everything
Beautiful, well-furnished home with 3 BR’s and kids room with bunks and play table. Wonderful screened porch with patio and back yard for kids to play. Very short walk to pool, playground and tennis courts. Big plus is the 8 person golf cart. Owners are so responsive to any questions issues. We will definitely stay here again!!
This home met all of our needs! Very clean with all the comforts of home. Beautiful neighborhood with community amenities. Having access to the golf cart was super helpful and lots of fun! We will be back!
We loved the house! Especially golf cart, driving it to beach, restaurants and to the pool. Would love to stay again.
We loved everything about our stay! The owners were easy to work with and hospitable! The property was absolutely perfect for our family. We enjoyed neighborhood amenities and the beach is a leisurely golf cart ride away! We look forward to returning as soon as possible!!!
This was a great experience & close to the beach me and my family will be returning
The Gates were awesome hosts that were very responsive. It is in a very good location close to a lot of food restaurants and the beach. This is a great family atmosphere. The house is beautiful, clean, and very comfortable beds.
