You may have heard some “fish tales” before; however, it’s no exaggeration that this rental—REEL 'EM INN—will provide a truly luxurious vacation stay. Located in the desirable Destiny by the Sea gated neighborhood, the Gulf of Mexico is just two blocks away for your angling pleasure, with a private beach entrance and a convenient utility closet stocked with beach chairs. Also, a short walk away, there’s a community pool with hot tub close by to enjoy.

Expertly designed on three levels, the main first-floor area has a king-sized bed with an ensuite bathroom. There’s a twin-over-twin bunk room, a toddler bed, and a convenient shower/tub combination. A handy mini-fridge and Keurig makes this area perfect for a family needing some space. There’s also a refreshing outside shower.

The main living area is on the second floor with a cozy, open-concept living and dining area. The kitchen is fully equipped with extremely high-end appliances to suit the most accomplished chef; plus, there’s a wine chiller for entertaining. An expansive balcony includes a grill to prepare your seafood bounty; plus, there’s extra seating for dining alfresco. In addition to a half-bath, this floor also has a king suite to include a deluxe walk-in shower and a convertible, twin chair bed. There’s also a full-size washer and dryer, as well as a sink, to accommodate the laundry needs of an active group.

The entire third floor is a dedicated, extravagant king suite. The ensuite bathroom has double spacious vanities along with a soaking tub and oversized, custom walk-in shower. Two thoughtful add-ons are a complimentary Peloton bike (guests log on with a personal subscription) and a desk area with a printer. The view from the private balcony is of the glistening Gulf waters, a perfect place for you to relax with your early morning coffee or bask in the incredible sunsets.

About the Community:

Located along Scenic Highway 98 on the Emerald Coast in Destin, Florida, this premier, Gulf-front, gated community has 24-hour security as well as a pristine, private beach. This private community association has contracted with Sun, Sand and Sea for beach service rentals, which includes beach chairs and beach umbrellas. Personal tents, umbrellas, baby tents, tarps, and canopy setups are not allowed per the association rules. Outside golf cart rentals are not allowed per the association rules. Wide walking and bike paths add to the ambiance of touring the area. Plus, guests can enjoy a lavish community pool and hot tub. The pool bathhouse includes changing rooms and showers for your convenience. Next door to this luxurious neighborhood is The Crab Trap. Its location is perfect for purchasing food and drink to enjoy while on the beach.

This area of Northwest Florida is very proud and protective of the natural environment. Guests are asked to use the beach walk-overs in order to protect the sand dunes. Also, please do not disturb the nests of sea turtles, which are quite prolific in the area. For your safety, be sure to be aware of the Flag Warning System, which is also accessible by text.

To learn more about times past, the Destin History and Fishing Museum makes a great stop on your vacation. While there, you’ll learn interesting tidbits like: What makes the sand so white? And speaking of fishing, charter boats are available nearby at the Harbor Walk Marina.

To find out what’s going on during your stay, the Destiny by the Sea Owners Association FB page includes lots of fascinating information on this quaint area.

Thanksgiving Getaway
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent Thanksgiving in Destin. The vacation rental was clean and nice. The location was just a few steps away from the beach. Also, the community pool was nice and heated. The area was quiet. Activities included bike riding and helicopter ride-was open the entire holiday week.

Just wonderful! Only negative is those darned plastic orange bracelets!!!
This is our second time staying at Destiny by the Sea using VRBO AND FUNVACAY. We just love it and will certainly come back again. The only warning I have for your guests is those darn orange plastic bracelets. We were told to wear them at all times while we were on the property. No one ever asked to see them. We ended up losing one while swimming in the ocean and are now being charged $50!! My recommendation for future guests is to not use them at all, and leave them in them at your house. No one ever asks for them, and the risk of losing them is way too great.

This home is a vacation!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spectacular home. We were blown away by how well appointed this home is. The finish out is of the highest quality, the cleanliness was exceptional and the attention to detail was beyond anything we could have expected. The beach was literally a 1-2 minute walk and is an immaculate private beach. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to stay in this home and will definitely be back.
