Destin West/Gulfside/Completely Renovated 2020

Meet Shawn and Linda Tidwell, the passionate husband-and-wife team behind Salty Vibes Beach Rentals. As proud owners and operators of this family-run venture, we're dedicated to curating unforgettable beach getaways in the stunning Destin and Fort Walton Beach areas. With years of hands-on experience managing our five premium oceanfront condos, we bring a personal touch to every stay—drawing from our love of the Emerald Coast's sugar-white sands, vibrant local scene, and relaxed vibes. From Atlanta roots but with deep ties to Florida's Gulf shores, we handle everything from property enhancements (like our recent Azure Beach Resort revamp) to insider tips on hidden gems, ensuring guests feel like part of the family. Our mission? To help you unplug, recharge, and create lasting memories—whether it's a romantic escape, family adventure, or seasonal retreat. We're committed to excellence, from seamless direct bookings to top-notch amenities, and we're excited to welcome you to Salty Vibes!

Discover why Gulfside G204 holds a special place in our hearts at Salty Vibes—it's our very first beach condo, lovingly referred to as our "baby" since we poured our passion into making it the ultimate coastal retreat. As the cornerstone of our family-run business, this stunning 3-bedroom, 2-bath oceanfront gem (sleeping 6-8) has been meticulously maintained with contemporary touches like sleek ceramic tile floors, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, ensuring every stay feels fresh and inviting. What makes it an unbeatable beach vacation spot? You're just steps from the sugar-white sands and emerald waves of the Gulf, with a nice side view from your private balcony offering partial glimpses of the sparkling waters—perfect for morning coffee or sunset toasts. The Destin West Resort amps up the fun with a massive beachfront pool, relaxing hot tubs, a meandering lazy river, fitness center, grilling areas, and a pedestrian bridge to even more bayside amenities. Nestled in vibrant Fort Walton Beach on Okaloosa Island, it's close to marinas, dining, and adventures, yet provides that serene, family-friendly vibe we cherish. Whether you're building sandcastles or unwinding after a day of exploration, this condo delivers the quintessential Emerald Coast experience—book direct and see why it's not just a rental, but our pride and joy!
