Destin's Emerald Coast is celebrated for its sugar-white sand, crystal-clear water, and year-round beach culture. The Gulf's calm waters are ideal for paddleboarding, snorkelling, and dolphin tours. The 30A corridor stretches with waterfront restaurants, beach shops, and an outdoor-first lifestyle. Large groups come for the beach, the water activities, and the ease of doing everything outdoors. Groups prefer renting a large beachfront or beach-view home in Destin over hotel blocks because one property means one pool, one beach access point, shared meals on a deck overlooking the Gulf, and a private gathering space that's genuinely yours. The nightly cost per person often drops by 40-50% compared to hotels.
We had such a wonderful time staying at this vacation home. Every few years, our group of friends goes on vacation together with our kiddos too. It’s always challenging to meet the moms’ requirements in a beach house (big pool, big rooms, private bath for each family, not too far from the beach, playroom for kids, and a nice beach feel). This home checked ALL the boxes for sure. Everyone was comfortable and happy. We never felt cramped because the main living areas are enormous! There were two sets of laundry machines and two big fridges which was great. The kids had so much fun downstairs playing ping pong and outside at the pool. We brought a couple fishing rods and tried out fishing off the dock too (although the crabs are crafty bait snatchers!!).
The beach is a comfortable walking distance away, however we did rent golf carts. There’s a small parking area for golf carts at the beach entrance. The ability to haul all our beach gear using the rented golf cart was priceless as the little kids require sooo much!! We were also able to drive the golf carts on most backroads to dinners. You just can’t drive on the main Destin road.
There was plenty of parking space in the driveway and the neighborhood is very quiet. If anyone enjoys morning walks/runs, this is a great location for that. There’s a big wide sidewalk on the main neighborhood road that I think is about 2 miles long from end to end.
We would definitely rent this home again!
Our favorite thing about the beach house was the comfortable beds and linens, exceptionally done. We also loved that most of the bedrooms had private balcony access. The kitchen was state of the art and had a double refrigerator and two dishwashers for large gatherings. It was spacious and lovely and we enjoyed family dinners with ample seating. The house was well stocked with all the necessities dishwasher pods, laundry soap, trash bags, coffee, tea, and sugar, and paper products. Some rentals give the bare minimums, and we usually run out or bring our own, although here they were generously provided. We also loved the private pool and the game room with the pool table. Access to local activities was very close and less than a five minute walk. Dairy Queen was down the street and perfect for after dinner walks and ice-cream. In the morning the coffee shop was a quick walk as well. For the closest beach access, I recommend an early start for parking and beach spot as the public access fills up quickly. Our favorite beach is Henderson State Beach, a quick 15 minute drive. They have restrooms, and outdoor showers to rinse off the sand and there is plenty of parking and spots on the beach. Parking is 6, but definitely worth it.
Our group of 13 women had the absolute best time of our lives at our house and booking through AvantStay! The customer service was amazing, and they had excellent communication with us before, during, and after our trip. AvantStay concierge staff were checking in before the trip to make sure we had all we needed. They offer so many great additional services, too! I would highly recommend the fridge stocking service... we arrived, and all of our groceries and drinks were in the house waiting for us! It was super convenient. During our stay the concierge staff checked in to make sure we had all we needed and encouraged us to reach out if we had any questions or requests. After the stay, they checked to make sure we had a good time and were open to feedback. I've never felt more taken care of during any trip than this! Everybody was so friendly and willing to help. The house was absolutely gorgeous and super clean! It had everything we were looking for and more. We had such a great time that my family is already talking about going back for a family trip sometime next year. I couldn't recommend AvantStay more... they were so great, and it was a trip of a lifetime!
