Peace and quiet

The property and community were amazing. Denise was WONDERFUL in communicating with us! We did have a couple of towels that were visibly dirty and needed to be rewashed and a few of the dishes also. But, nothing that would ever keep us from staying at the property in the future. To Denise, thanks for sharing your property and for the added amenities with our family!

A great break from the winter in Minnesota

We had a wonderful trip to Florida for our annual winter break. Mother Nature threw us a curve ball when she presented us with a snowstorm. It was a historic event and we won't ever forget it. We had a beautiful home to stay in with excellent property owners who made sure we had everything we needed. The house was very clean, organized and felt like home. We plan to return to Destin again and will stay in Destiny Hideaway!

Get Away

Property was great, clean and nicely furnished. Darlene and Jeff were great hosts. All the neighbours were friendly as well. Just missed a kettle for our tea. Destin is a great area with gorgeous beaches. Weather wasn't the warmest in Feb. Golf cart was awesome we used it quite a bit, bikes could use a little TLC. Would return to Destin area a little later in the season.Thanks again for your hospitality :)

Beautiful Family Destination!

We loved our stay in Destin! Jeff and Denise were easy to communicate with. The house was well maintained and very clean- we had no worries letting our 2 and 4 year old play on the floor. They loved having the park so close, and the nice backyard! We also enjoyed taking the golf cart out to eat and to the beach. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are considering a Destin vacation! We would love to come back one day!

Best Ever

The property was just as advertised. Very clean and comforting. Other than food, we were provided with everything we needed for a stay at the beach. But far better than the house, was the hospitality of the property manager, Denise. She is an absolute sweetheart. It was a most welcoming experience each time I communicated with her. I will book this property again and again.

The perfect family vacation

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.

About the host

Hosted by Denise Gates

Host profile image
We first moved to Destin in 1999 as a young military family stationed at Eglin AFB, and we bought our home in Destiny East. We loved it so much we kept it, renting it out when we were stationed at other bases and moving back in when we were luckily stationed at Eglin again. We are now retired from the military and are back for good. Our family of four has stayed at many vacation rentals throughout the world so we know how comforting it is to have all the amenities of home while traveling. We decided to become vacation rental owners ourselves and bought a house in our neighborhood so we could host travelers in our beautiful city of Destin.

Why they chose this property

Of all the places we have lived and visited, the beaches in Destin are the most beautiful. Over the years, Destin has developed into a fun, family-friendly resort town with so much to do!

What makes this property unique

Situated in a cul-de-sac in a gated community, Destiny Hideaway is not only safe but conveniently located to everything the neighborhood of Destiny East and the city of Destin has to offer! Destiny East's amenities - pool, tennis/pickleball/basketball courts, playground, fitness center and more - are a short walk away. A shortcut path will take you to the south gate and then you're only a 1/2 mile from the beach! Drive out the north gate to find Destin's famous shopping centers and restaurants... one mile to the west is Destin Commons and 3.5 miles to the east is the Silver Sands Outlet Mall - with tons of boutiques and restaurants along the way.
