Sovereign Isle is a charming, family-friendly neighborhood in Destin, Florida, known for its resort-style amenities and coastal charm. The community features a luxurious pool and outdoor grilling areas, perfect for family gatherings and cookouts. Just a short stroll from the beach and minutes from shopping, dining, and entertainment at Destin Commons, Sovereign Isle offers both relaxation and convenience. With its welcoming atmosphere and prime location, it’s a sought-after spot for beach vacations.

Area Attractions: 

Crystal Beach is a terrific residential area, yet close to restaurants and activities in Destin. Walk to close-by restaurants such as the award-winning Camille's, get your fro-yo on at U-Twirl Frozen Yogurt, or learn how to ride the waves at All-A Board Surf School.  

Close by is Destin Commons, a beautifully landscaped, pedestrian-friendly area and a great family venue where children will love to play in the interactive water fountains. Also, for the younger guests, a nautically/pirate themed outdoor playground features a 1,750 square foot soft play area with various creatures from the sea, slides, and a treasure chest!  Destin Commons also has a mini train for the kids. Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants, including Godiva Chocolates, AMC Movie Theaters, and Bass Pro Shop.

If you are near Miramar Beach, the snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Dolphin Reef, deployed in 2017.  Located just 685 feet straight out from the Miramar Regional Public Beach access (by Pompano Joe's), it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of the permitted sea bottom. The Dolphin Reef is at a depth of 12-20 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation devices when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Good Vacation spot

We had a great stay! The house is in a great location—just a short, easy walk to the beach. The neighborhood pool was amazing and definitely a highlight for us!Just a heads-up for future guests: the house didn’t have dish soap, laundry detergent, cooking seasonings, or extra toilet paper, so you’ll want to bring those essentials with you. Otherwise, everything was great and we enjoyed our time!

Lovely multi-family getaway

This was the perfect home for our multi-family reunion/vacay. The open layout is awesome for entertaining the family as well as having private time in the sunroom. 15 minute walk from the beach was doable but highly recommend you rent a golfcart to get around the lovely beach town. Our family had a wonderful time.
