About this property

Glimmer! Sleeps 26! 2 Blocks From The Beach!

Welcome to Glimmer, where you can make your memories shine! Newly built in 2024 with designer selected furnishings, this house will feel like a home away from home from the minute you step in. Only two blocks from neighborhood beach accesses, sleeps 28, parking for up 8 vehicles, private pool area, plus garage space, the list goes on! Glimmer checks all the boxes for the perfect family vacation!

Highlights:
Only two blocks to Destin's famous sugar sand beach
Sleeps 26 (not including sofas)
9 full baths (no need to share)
Pool with tanning shelf (heated for free from October 1 and April 30)
2 separate living rooms for multiple families
Free 6 seat golf cart
Two free paddleboards

Newly built in 2024 and located so close to Destin’s famous beach, Glimmer has space for the whole family! Conveniently located two blocks from the beach, comfortably sleeps 26 guests, private fenced in pool, and parking for eight plus one covered garage spot! What more could you need for the ultimate Destin vacation?!

Ready to hit the waves? Enjoy the short stroll to any of the six neighborhood beaches (that are far less crowded than our large public beaches). Or load up your cooler and beach toys in Glimmer’s complementary 2024 six seater golf cart to visit any of the beaches, restaurants, shopping, and activities that are accessible from Glimmer’s prime location along the Destin’s famous Scenic Gulf Drive.

Who wants a boring, cookie cutter beach house? Glimmer features decor hand selected by a local professional designer, with thoughtful touches that make the space feel like a home away from home within minutes of arrival! This includes premium quartz counter tops and spacious seating arrangements for everyone to enjoy!


With sleeping for up to 26 guests, Glimmer has all the space you need for the ultimate family vacation without having to cram in like sardines! And with a living room area on the first AND third floor, parents can enjoy a quiet evening downstairs while the kids let out their energy on the third floor!

No need to drain your wallet on toy rentals. Glimmer includes 2 paddleboards, and a brand new 6 seater golf cart to help make lifelong memories.

After soaking up vitamin C on Destin’s famous sugar sand beaches, relax in the private, gated pool area, and grill up your fresh caught or bought seafood dinner on Glimmer’s included 5 burner propane grill! (Two propane tanks included with your stay)

No one wants to waste previous vacation time fighting traffic. Glimmer’s neighborhood beach accesses are just a 5 minute walk, or seconds away via the included electric golf cart!

Ready for a little shopping? Glimmer is less than one mine from the Destin Commons, (our premiere shopping, entertainment and dining complex); only minutes away from our area's best oceanfront dining, grocery stores and more.

Don’t settle for a generic rental company’s stale offerings. Our family’s properties are curated for families to fall in love with Destin, the same way we did!

Important Information:

NOTE: Check in time is 4:00 PM CST. Check out time is 10:00 AM CST. Our staff needs time to properly clean, sanitize, inspect and maintain the property. Because the property is extremely heavily booked we are unable to offer early check ins, late check outs, early parking or luggage drop offs.

NOTE: Guests are not permitted to have anything shipped or mailed (through a carrier such as USPS, UPS, or Fedex) to the property. Please be aware that the property does not have postal service and your packages will most likely be returned by the carrier.

NOTE: If you would like to reserve Glimmer more than 11 months in advance, you must use the VRBO website, rather than the VRBO app. The VRBO app only shows the calendar for up to 11 months which means that it can only be used for reservations less than a year away. Thanks!

Bringing a pet or an emotional support animal (ESA) is a violation of your booking agreement that will result in the cancellation of your reservation without refund.

NOTE: Glimmer has one security camera aimed solely at the driveway and the street entrance. Our security camera can only see areas of the property that are visible to the public anyway. We respect our Guests’ privacy. The camera is stationary and cannot be remotely adjusted; does not record audio; and cannot see into the pool area, fenced areas, or interior area of the property.

NOTE: The property has an exterior security camera(s) that face the driveway and/or entrance and smoke detectors throughout the property. Tampering with the exterior security camera(s) or smoke detector on the property is a violation of the booking agreement. Guests will be charged a $500 fine for tampering with the security camera(s) or smoke detector(s) and the reservation will be cancelled immediately without a refund.

NOTE: For the safety of our Guests, our golf cart has an Apple Airtag in order to facilitate our ability to assist in the event of an accident or mechanical failure. As a result, Apple Iphone users may occasionally receive Airtag notifications while operating the golf cart.

NOTE: Smoking is strictly prohibited inside the house. This includes cigarettes, cigars, marijuana, etc. A $500-1000 additional cleaning charge will be added to remove the smell of smoke from the house.

This house is a short walk from the beach and having the golf cart made it even faster. Very satisfied with this home. The rooms are very spacious and fit our big group. The kitchen is stocked up pretty good with cooking utensils. Glad that it has a pool, the kids enjoyed it.

Thank you for the 10/10 review of Glimmer! We're happy to hear you and your family found the house very satisfactory with spacious rooms that fit your big group perfectly, a well-stocked kitchen, and that the private pool was a hit with the kids. It’s great that the short walk to the beach combined with the included golf cart made getting around so easy and convenient. We’d love to welcome you back to the Emerald Coast anytime!
