"CHATEAU CHAMPAGNE" is your family beach vacation destination,our charming and spacious (1330 square feet) 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo located in the heart of the City of Destin directly on the Gulf of Mexico. Destin Towers, selected as a "top pick" Destin Family Beach Resort by Southern Living Magazine in 2007, is the ideal location for your spring or summer family beach vacation.
Chateau Champagne was lovingly REMODELED AND REDECORATED light and bright with a "French Cottage on the Beach" flair in June, 2007. Remodel features include:
++ New granite countertops in the kitchen and baths,
++ New stainless steel appliances,
++ New Kohler sinks and brushed nickel fixtures in the kitchen and baths,
++ New Thomasville kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities,
++ New tile - everything has been updated.

Destin Towers is considered the best location in the city of Destin, directly across the street from Big Kahuna's Water Park and close to shopping (Destin Commons Mall, Silver Sands Outlet Mall), fine restaurants, and best of all, on the best stretch of sugar white sands and aqua-blue waters, an ideal spot to watch the dolphins at play, kick back, and enjoy your luxury beach vacation. You will have fantastic Gulf views from the Gulf front balcony, living room, and master bedroom. When you are ready for the beach, simply take the elevator down, walk past Destin Towers pool, and onto the beautiful Destin beach. Beach service is available through October 2008 for Destin Towers guests for a nominal fee.
The balcony directly faces the Gulf (NOT a "side" view), as do all of the units in Destin Towers(see photo from beach). No streets to cross, no other buildings to navigate - this large 2 bedroom condominium unit has all the comforts of home, but it's right on the beach!!
If you are tired of huge crowds on your beach, noisy apartments, impersonal service and exhorbidant fees charged by Resortquest and Dale Peterson rentals,choose our Emerald Coast HUGE 2 bedroom beach front condo for your beach vacation rental.

Map & Owner's Profile
Large Gulf Front 2BR, Destin Towers, Customer Favorite
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Destin Towers
Gerry and Diane Champagne fell in love with Destin on our first visit. After we completed the remodel of Villa Champagne, we were so happy with Destin Towers that we decided to purchase a second unit. When we learned that the unit on the 14th floor immediately below Villa Champagne was available, we grabbed it. We redecorated it in its own style, completely different from Chateau Champagne, with yellows, blues and white the color theme.
Home to Commander's Palace Restaurant, Pat O'Brien's Bar, and other restaurants and shops.

We are delighted to hear that Eugene and Velma had a great visit. Sorry about the traffic - it peaks about July 4, but is no problem in early summer, or in August or later. Gerry and Diane
