Perfect for Boat & Pets! Private Slip on Canal, Sundeck Overlooks Water, Walk 2 Beach, Holiday Isle
“Welcome to The Dock Inn” ~
Whether you choose to arrive navigating the waterways to our dock with a private 42' upland slip, or arrive via vehicle, we want to ensure you receive a warm welcome to our waterfront “hidden jewel of a townhome” on Holiday Isle. Professionally managed locally 24/7 by iTrip Destin & Miramar Beach.
Calming, serene water views and sunny days, on our spacious sundeck overlooking the canal will not disappoint! We are fortunate to be one of the few, in the area, with a private 42' upland boat slip, capable of supporting a boat/yacht. Admire individuals on kayaks, paddleboards, jet skis, along with the yachts and boats, slowly cruising through the canal as they travel in & out of the harbor for their daily adventures. Take the stress out of driving and take full advantage of calling the Destin Water Taxi for a pick-up and drop-off, to and from our dock to a plethora of restaurants, shopping, water sports, & entertainment throughout the harbor.
Stroll .3 miles to the public beach access, Osteen Beach, or .5 miles to the private beach access at Norriego Point or Moreno Point, to enjoy the sugar-white sand between your toes & soak in the crystal-clear waters for a free dose of Vitamin D!
Upon arrival, the condo is a self-check-in residence with a private entry code allowing you to enjoy your vacation without the worry of misplacing your keys. When you enter the residence the first level hosts the Master Bedroom Suite and the Guest Master Bedroom.

The showcase area of the house is the upper-level sundeck. Kick back and relax in (2) comfy swivel chairs with ottomans, or a sectional couch with seating for (5), a coffee table, and gas fire pit. The evenings are incredible under the stars or with the patio lights. If you are fortunate to stay with us on Thursday evenings, you can enjoy the free Destin Harbor Firework Show.
The upper-level exterior staircase leads down to the fully covered patio where you can enjoy some privacy in the (2) Adirondack chairs and small table for snacks and/or libations. This space also allows the family chef to master their skills on the BBQ.

Excellent spot for my family fall break. Easily accomodated 2 families. Well maintained and we really appreciated the fully stocked kitchen and 2 seperate laundry rooms. The dock worked out perfect for out 26' boat. We never touched our cars the entire trip as most everything is boat accesible in Destin. The kids loved catching fish from the dock and the upper deck provided great views of the fireworks. We will be booking again for next year. Thank you for the use of your wonderful waterfront home!

The condo was super clean and smelled good when we walked in. They had the TV on with nice music when we got there. I usually don't like to stay in places that are pet friendly cause of past experiences but you would never even be able to tell that a dog has ever been inside! There was plenty of room for our boat and jet ski at the dock! Luckily we had awesome neighbors because there is def not much privacy at all - but it was not that big of a deal for us. I would for sure stay again!

Thanks once again for choosing our rental and for being such a great guest!
Absolutely loved this townhouse. It had lots of room and was in a terrific location. The townhouse was super clean and well stocked with everything you needed in the kitchen. The upper deck was lovely and well stocked. We spent many hours just sitting and reading in the nice Florida weather. The lower porch was equally as nice with a dock that we used for fishing. While Destin was named “the luckiest fishing village in Florida”, our catch only netted a few teeny fish. But it sure was fun. Location was great for walking, going to the beach, and running to the grocery stores. Appliances in the townhouse were fabulous with a huge refrigerator, automatic ice maker, wine fridge, and washer and dryer on both floors. The property management company was very considerate and made sure to contact us prior to any visits. The only visits were to winterize outside water valve and fire extinguishers certification. The staff was very friendly and nice. Loved the door key code so you didn’t have to worry about a key. I would highly recommend this as a rental. We had the best time and Destin is a gem.
