Owner's Map of Southbay by the Gulf
I live in Birmingham, AL and this is my personal vacation home. I've owned it for many years (thus my low VRBO listing number) and keep it very updated. Very private yet right in the heart of Destin (see map). Drive right up to the front door and unload your car (no elevators to deal with). Short 200 yard walk to the beach. Give me a call and I can tell you more. Patrick

We took a girls' weekend to get away and this condo worked perfectly for us. It is a one minute walk to the pool with a two minute walk to the beach. Everything was clean and in working order. I would consider staying there again.

We spent 4 marvelous days at Southbay by the Gulf. Condo was very clean and every possible ammenity was provided. The Condo was only a short walk to the Beautiful Destin Beach. Condo is conveniently located to all our favorite Destin dining stops. I highly recommend this property and we will continue to return!!

We had an excellent vacation! The pictures on the site are EXACTLY as we found the condo. Very clean and quiet, our family felt right at home. Everyone had there own space. We didn't feel like we were "living out of a suitcase" like you would staying in a hotel room. And the beach was beautiful and not crowded like in front of the big high rise hotels. It's very close toBig Kahuna's waterpark. Also grocery store is just across the main road into the complex. Very easy to get to shopping, grocery stores and restaurants. The parasailing company we used was very professional and we all had a blast parasailing. Patrick spent time on the phone answering all of our questions before we rented and was very honest and helpful. We could have stayed much longer, there are so many activities that we would like to have tried but didn't have time. But our kids had more fun just playing on the beach than any of the activities we paid to do! We will definetly come back!

We had the most fantastic time in Destin. Two adults and two kids in our party had planty of space. The proximity to the beach is mind blowing. Such a great place to stay, thank you Patrick. It took us total of 2 minutes to walk to the water and on the way back kids played in the pool. Great get away, will deffinetly do it again next year.

Our family of 4 adults and 2 teens (3generations) stayed at Southbay for spring break. We found this condo to be very tastefully decorated, very clean and fully stocked with every item that we needed for the week. We were told that we would only need beach towels and personal belongings and it was true. The condo is the ideal place for convenience. A very short walk to the beach (less than 3 minutes), front door parking, every grocery store, restaurant and retail shopping establishment that you can think of within 5 miles only make the stay more enjoyable. We have been coming to Southbay for 30 years and it continues to be our first choice due to the location and service of the owners. We found this unit to be one of the best we have rented and hope to visit it again in the future.

Thank you so much for opening your wonderful condo to our family of 6 (2 adults & 4 Kids). We were very comfortable and access to everything was close by. We ejoyed our stay and hope to stay again in the future. We also had our beautiful wedding ceremony on the beach. The condo allowed us to have everything at hand and be ready for our big day! Thank you! We can't wait to return!

You have a beautiful home that was absolutely perfect for our vacation. You have a wonderfully stocked kitchen. I was able to cook all week! My husband and the boys were even able to make homemade cinnamon rolls one afternoon! The beach was beautiful and the water was nice and clear. We enjoyed exploring Destin and headed down the road to O'Steen public beach near the jetties where the water was nice and calm without any big waves. It was perfect for our 2 and 4 year old boys. We also explored the bay side at the Gulf Shore National Seashore for the kids to catch hermit crabs and other fish. Every day was a new adventure. Thank you again for giving us such a good deal on your beautiful, quiet, and comfortable townhome. We are already planning a trip back in 2 years, when our next baby, that is due in March, is old enough to enjoy it.
Recommended for:Families with young children.
