Welcome to Maritime Escape – A True Waterfront Retreat in the Heart of Destin

Prepare to be captivated by Maritime Escape, a breathtaking custom-designed mansion nestled directly on the Destin Harbor. With immaculate Gulf views,unmatched access to the water, and upscale features throughout, this grand estate offers a luxury experience like no other—whether you're planning a family getaway, group celebration, or a high-end corporate retreat.

From the moment you arrive, you'll be greeted by striking architecture, warm coastal interiors, and an undeniable sense of serenity. Inside, the open-concept layout is designed for connection, making it effortless to gather with loved ones or entertain a crowd. Soaring ceilings, designer finishes, and endless windows fill the space with natural light and frame panoramic views of the water at every turn.

Step outside and you'll find yourself surrounded by multiple harbor front decks, perfect for morning coffee, afternoon lounging, or sunset cocktails. Just below, your private pool overlooks the harbor—offering a peaceful place to soak, swim, or simply watch the boats cruise by.

At the edge of the property, your private dock invites endless adventure. Bring your own boat or rent a pontoon, jet skis, kayaks, or paddleboards. Spend the day exploring Crab Island, fishing in the bay, or cruising along the Emerald Coast. When you're ready to refuel, dock right at home and enjoy lunch by the pool or fireside under the stars.

Inside, the gourmet chef's kitchen is fully equipped with high-end appliances, ample counter space, and seating designed for both casual meals and special occasions. Watch the harbor come to life while preparing breakfast or enjoy dinner as the sun dips below the horizon.

With 9 King Suites, each with its own private ensuite, plus a custom bunk room ideal for kids or extra guests, there's room for everyone to relax in comfort and privacy. Whether you're here for a reunion or a retreat, the layout is thoughtfully crafted to keep guests together while still offering plenty of personal space.

For an unforgettable experience, head up to the 2,000-square-foot rooftop deck—the crown jewel of the home. From here, enjoy unrivaled 360° views of the Destin Harbor, Gulf waters, and city skyline. It's the perfect perch for sunbathing by day and watching the summer fireworks light up the harbor by night.

Located just minutes from the area's top restaurants and shopping, Maritime Escape offers the best of Destin at your fingertips. Hop on the water taxi across the harbor and dine, drink, and explore—no car needed.

From sunrise on the dock to starlit nights on the rooftop, Maritime Escape is more than a vacation home—it's a destination all its own.

    We loved staying in this house. The views were absolutely amazing. The kitchen had everything plus more that you could possibly need. The host company also responded very quickly to any questions or requests we had. We would definitely stay again.

    The communication about the check in process was great. The property was stunning and very clean. Just a few minute walk to the beach and a short drive to the boardwalk. Would definitely recommend.

    Not as advertised!! Well, we picked this home as it advertised 2 important things to our family. 1: wheel chair accessible 2: pet friendly Obviously whoever checked all the amenities for vrbo posting must have checked all the boxes without ever have been to the property. Our family of 20+ booked this house based on those requirements back in February for a family reunion in September. One of our family members is almost eighty, has had a double bypass heart surgery and has recently undergone knee surgery so he uses a walker when not being pushed in a wheelchair. We also have a member of the family that was planning on traveling with their small dog. My wife had sent message to host through app with a question regarding a pet deposit over a month before travel as property advertised as “pet friendly”. With no response from host for weeks I get a phone call 2 weeks before travel from host informing me that no pets are allowed and that owner has cameras and will know if we bring any. Luckily plans of bringing dog were changed but this could have been an issue of trying to find last minute care for dog because of false accommodations listed in posting and lack of host timely response. Upon arrival to home, (which we booked specifically because it was advertised as wheelchair accessible and had an elevator for our disabled elderly family member) we enter through front door to stairs to both the left and right. There was an elevator yes, but you

    This home was a great place to stay for families. Large spaces for gathering. Each room had its own bath. There is an elevator for those who find climbing stairs difficult. The outside area at the pool and hot tub was great. The only negative was the jets in the hot tub were not working so we did not use this amenity. Contacted maintenance and was told the jets were “not strong” which translates to broken. Other than that, this home was a great find.

    We arrived to a pool filled with open ketchup packets & ketchup smeared all over the pool deck. The pool cleaners showed the next day only to clean out the ketchup packets & debris & then leave the filled net with a hole in it beside the pool. The floors in the house were filthy. If you walked in bare feet they ended up black & dirty. The railing to the water was completely broken & dangerous. The one outdoor patio slider had dried vomit on it. The kitchen had water coming out of the ceiling during a storm. We found dirty underwear & a bathing suit in our window sill in the bedroom. It’s truly a shame because the house has a lot of room & nice layout. Thinking this is the beginning of the busy season none of these repairs will be done anytime soon. I had hope renting this early the house would have been in good condition.
