Important Notes:

The boats shown in the photos are privately owned and are not part of the rental. Guests are not permitted to touch, board, or interfere with them at any time. These boats may remain docked during your stay, which could occasionally affect canal views or access to the seawall. Any damage caused will be the guest’s responsibility.

From time to time, a local boat captain and crew may visit the dock to service or check on the boats. During these visits, they may also access a secured, designated area of the garage.

Area Attractions: 

An easy walk along the beach will take you to the jetties, where the Gulf of Mexico and Destin Harbor meet, a spot well-known for great snorkeling and fishing. Here you can also watch boats going out deep-sea fishing and returning from the Gulf to the harbor.

Close by is Destin Commons, a beautifully landscaped, pedestrian-friendly area and a great family venue where children will love to play in the interactive water fountains. Also, for the younger guests, a nautically/pirate themed outdoor playground features a 1,750 square foot soft play area with various creatures from the sea, slides, and a treasure chest!  Destin Commons also has a mini train for the kids. Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants, including Godiva Chocolates, AMC Movie Theaters and Bass Pro Shop.

    Great location, nice pool area and decent access to the beach. Had a small issue and they worked quickly to get it resolved and communicated well. We will pin this one and hope for another chance to come stay in the future.

    We had a good size group with us for a family vacation, we love Holiday Isle and the location, some things to keep in mind with this house, the master is not on the main floor, its up 23 steps so if you have someone that is a bit older going up and down the stairs its kinda inconvenient. The management company was amazing, any issue we had ( and we had a few) they came out right away and did what they could. We stayed a week and lost power 2x for 1.5 hours and 3 hours, the day we were checking out it went out for 30 seconds, I don't know if this area has issues but it was surprising to lose it 2x in a week. There was a terrible smell in the laundry room no one could figure out and one of the ice machines went out and was not able to be fixed. Overall it was nice but there were a few things that had to be tweaked!

    The house was absolutely stunning! We had a large group and it was the perfect space for us! We never felt crowded! The contact team was super quick to respond and was super accommodating. There were issues with the pool that weren’t resolved in the couple days we were there but overall an amazing experience! Would highly recommend!

    This home is fabulous and just as described. Great location, convenient to everything. We will definitely be back. A smoke detector battery started chirping during the night. We placed a call to the 24/7 number and the detector was repaired by 9:00am.

    Great property with a perfect location close to golf courses. Spacious with lots of beds and bathrooms for us old men. Great parking capacity. Nice pool and plenty of outdoor spaces for gathering. We have been going on this golf trip to Destin with same 8 guys for 41 years and this is best place we have found. Rental staff was very professional and extremely helpful. Will do it again next year.

    Absolutely beautiful house in a great location. Especially if you bring your own boat like we did. We kept the boat in the water directly behind the house near the pool and spa and went out exploring, fishing and dining everyday of our trip. Beach is an easy walk from the house, but we only went one afternoon because we had so much fun hanging at crab island and other beaches by boat.
