As the day progresses, you leisurely stroll down to 675' of pristine private beach, feeling the sugary white sand between your toes and admiring the breathtaking emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico as you watch the dolphins jump and play.

A Fun Summer Day at “Lily Pad by the Sea”
VRBO Bear stayed here - 05/27/2008
Pack your bags, leave all your worries behind and head south to Destin, Florida. This charming home has the best of both worlds - located lakefront and just steps away from one of the most beautiful beaches in America!
If you are looking for a great home for your next family vacation, you have struck gold! This four bedroom home includes two master suites, each with a king-size bed and private bath. Each of the suites has a balcony that overlooks the lake and pool below. In the evenings, I enjoyed sitting outside and relishing the sights and sounds of the lake with its lighted water features. The other two rooms have twin beds or bunks for the kiddos. Upon entering the main living area, you will discover an open layout that is great for spending time with the family. This home is tastefully decorated with cheery beach décor and furniture. There are two sliding glass doors that lead to a large deck with lounge chairs and your private lakefront pool. In the attached garage you will find adult and kids bikes available for your use, along with a variety of beach and pool toys.
Just a few yards from your front door is a boardwalk that goes across the lake to the private beach reserved exclusively for “Dunes of Destin” residents. While others staying at nearby condo resorts are fighting for a spot on a crowded beach, you will have your choice of spacious oceanfront relaxation with personal beach chairs and umbrellas.
Destin is known for its family friendly atmosphere and activities. Located across the street from Dunes of Destin is the Big Kahuna’s Water Park, miniature golf, bumper cars, and go-carts. There are also many restaurant selections and plenty of shopping for everyone.
“Lily Pad by The Sea” offers all the privacy you desire but has all the amenities of a resort minus the crowds. Why stay anywhere else?

This place was absolutely fantastic. Clean comfortable and relaxing. I highly recommend this house. Whether you are out by the pool, sitting near the lake or a short walk to the beach you can’t go wrong. Our family consisting of mom dad, 4 children and 4 grand children were very comfortable and had plenty of space to spread out. Can’t wait to go back

We spent a week at Lily Pad by the Sea and could not have had a better experience. We were in a big group with kids from 9-22 and they all stayed busy. The location to the beach is actually not as far as I thought it would be - a short five minute stroll. The pool was a nice way to cap off the day after a full day at the beach while we were grilling dinner. The home was well stocked with all the essentials and plenty of sleeping room for all. Would love to go back!
Owner response:So glad you and your family enjoyed our home! Just let us know the next time you plan a trip to Destin and we will put you on the calendar :)!

Perfect Family Vacation

My family and I stayed here for a week in mid-October, and we couldn't have asked for better accomodations or a more perfect vacation. This home is very spacious with beautiful decor in an excellent location. We were able to sit out by the pool, take a very nice short stroll to the beach or BBQ out back. When we stayed inside, we were met with luxurious comfort and room for all to relax or play. The house was very clean which was a must for my ill daughter. There was not a single feature missing, and we truly felt like we were at home away from home. We would definitely stay here again!

Lily Pad By The Sea was Perfect!

We stayed for 4 days and 3 nights at Lily Pad by the Sea and enjoyed these accomodations so much. There was plenty of space for our large family and even though I was initially worried that the property was not directly ocean-front, it actually worked out better being a short stroll to the beach (as we felt that this offered a quieter and more private retreat)!
Recommended for:Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, tourists without a car, age 55+, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.
