About this property

Gulf Front 2000sqf Condo, Large Balcony, Private Beach & Pool, Free Beach Setup

Oceania 706 is a spacious Gulf front condo with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. It is located on the 7th floor and has magnificent views of the Gulf of Mexico. Upon entering the condo, you will first notice the floor-to-ceiling windows offering unobstructed panoramic views of the emerald-green Gulf of Mexico and the sugar-white sandy beach.

Oceania is a gated condominium with one of the most extensive private beaches in the area. Oceania is considered a low-density building with only 71 units in the entire building, giving everyone plenty of room on the beach. Amenities include a private beach, beach service (two beach chairs and umbrella set up daily - Mar-Oct), reserved covered parking, swimming pool, fitness room, gas grills, wireless internet, enhanced cable TV package, and keyless access.

The condo also offers an impressive balcony where you can see for miles from the 7th floor! Enjoy your morning coffee, afternoon lunches, and relaxing dinners, all while watching the beautiful ocean waves. The balcony can be accessed from three different sliding glass doors and offers lounge chairs and tables. You will enjoy entertaining or just relaxing every day and night on the balcony. Curl up and read your favorite book, watch the dolphins swim by, or enjoy the ocean breeze as life’s pressures melt away.

The kitchen has newer cabinets and higher-end appliances and is fully equipped with all the necessary tools to prepare your favorite meals.

The large living and dining area has a bar with a stand-alone ice maker ready for your entertaining. The spacious living room will give everyone plenty of room to spread out. Sofa sheets are provided for the sofa sleeper to allow the condo to sleep up to eight. The living room has a 63" flat-screen smart TV with an upgraded TV package.

The master bedroom has a wall of windows overlooking the gulf, 47" TV, a huge walk-in closet, and the bathroom offers a double vanity, a Jacuzzi bathtub, and a separate walk-in shower.

The second and third bedrooms each have private baths, queen-sized beds, large closets, and 32" LED TVs. All of the bathrooms are equipped with hairdryers.

Oceania is located on Holiday Isle which is a small peninsula in the Destin area. This peninsula is only a few miles in length and is surrounded by Destin Harbor to the north and the Gulf of Mexico to the south. Holiday Isle is off the beaten path but centrally located, where you are literally minutes away from all the shopping, dining, fishing, amusements, golf, and fun the Destin area offers. Destin has abundant water-view restaurants and fun dockside bars; plenty of restaurants from formal dining to fast food to your classic mom-and-pop. Destin offers a world-class charter fishing fleet, sailing excursions, sunset cruises, dolphin cruises, pleasure boat rentals, diving, and snorkeling trips. Nearby are abundant shopping opportunities, from exclusive boutiques to outlet stores to antique shops. Numerous golf courses and amusement parks are only a short drive away. And don’t forget the beautiful Emerald Coast with the whitest sand with the softest grain you’ll ever feel.

Looking for something to do in the fall? Check out Destin in October!! The Destin Seafood Festival and the annual Destin Fishing Rodeo take place in October, and they are a lot of fun.

Family vacation

My family and I (7 in total) stayed at this amazing condo for 5 nights. The view is absolutely breathtaking and the host was amazing to work with. We enjoyed the beach and pool time and eating together. I enjoyed reading on the balcony at night while listening to the waves. I wish we would’ve stayed longer but I hope to come back next year. I especially enjoyed the check in book where we could read about what other families enjoyed and leave our own special message!!

Loved it so much!

We loved staying here so much that we actually already booked it for next year before we even left. The view from the master bedroom is incredible and the whole condo complex is very clean and employees were very friendly. It was so nice that there was a beach attendant who set up an umbrella and two chairs everyday. It was one less thing to carry with kids. Our kids loved the pool and having access right there to the ocean was perfect.

Perfect stay

There are not many places I can honestly say are perfect, but this is it. The condo is beautiful with gorgeous views of the gulf, and it was clean! It is well appointed with everything we needed, including access to the owner's closet with coolers, beach towels, chairs, floats, etc. We spent alot of time on the balcony, which has very nice furniture. And the private beach with the beach service included is something we appreciated very much, as other sections of the beach were very crowded. We had a relaxing vacation and it was mainly due to the wonderful accommodations at Oceania 706.

The location was excellent!!! Very safe feeling. View was amazing. Was perfect for us we all had our own bathroom and bedroom. Maybe an airfryer would be nice for reheating leftovers. We went in October of 2021 this year pool was great. We missed out on a full day due to our flight being cancelled. Was easy to communicate with owners. Thank you!!

Spotless and nicely equipped

A very nice unit. Roomy, clean and well equipped. The kitchen had more that adequate cooking utensils and pans, an adequate stove/oven and a very nice refrigerator. The undercounter icemaker in the wet bar produced more ice than we could use for drinks and coolers and is a real bonus - no running out to buy ice on a daily basis. Large (50 in?) tv with HD Directv service was awesome for Masters viewing. The pool is large, warm and clean. Although we did not use them, the gas grills appeared to be in great shape and clean. We had one small issue when I broke the bracket that held the shower wand in the master bath. Vicki was awesome and got it taken care of immediately! That certainly alleviated any of my concerns about renting direct from owners, as this was our first experience in doing so, as opposed to being in a unit that is operated by a management company. Overall, the property is neat, clean and in excellent condition and Unit 706 is hands down the nicest unit we have ever rented.

We loved the condo and the location. We stayed during the July 4th holiday weekend but our area was not crowded & we loved the location. The condo was perfect for our family. It was spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable and the huge windows gave us a wonderful view of the beach/ocean. We were appreciative of the complimentary set of chairs and umbrella set up for us on the beach daily. Also, the well stocked storage closet was awesome. Lots of beach toys and accessories for us to use. We will definitely be back to this condo.

About the host

Hosted by Marcia Matthias

Host profile image
Ken and Marcia Matthias made a dream come true when they purchased Oceania 706 from the Hines family in December 2014. The Matthias' have been vacationing on Holiday Isle in Destin with their two daughters and close friends since 1993.

Why they chose this property

Prior to 2014, we had rented condos at other complexes on Holiday Ilse. In September 2014, we rented a condo in Oceania for the first time and immediately realized we had found the ideal property in Destin. Oceania offers so much more than most condos - from the large balcony overlooking the beautiful serene Gulf to the large, open floor plan to the awesome beach - it is just the perfect place.

What is unique about Oceania is overall, the complex is small, consisting of 9 floors and 71 gulf-front units with only 24 actively on the rental program. The complexes to the right and left of Oceania are also on the small side and do not allow rentals. Therefore a vacationer has plenty of sandy white beach and ocean waves to enjoy. We believe you will find the privacy and quality to entice you to make this your vacation destination.

Bennett Development constructed Oceania. Their detail and quality in building exceed all others.

What makes this property unique

The complex is immaculately maintained. Nice perks include a covered parking place, keyless entry, a remote opener for the front gate, an ice machine in the condo, and free beach service (one umbrella and two chairs)! We also give our guests access to our owner's closet, which is loaded with beach chairs, toys, coolers, nets, etc.

Destin is known for deep-sea fishing, gorgeous sunsets, and shopping galore. Oceania is literally minutes from everything - Paradise awaits you!
