Location: Ariel Dunes, Scenic Gulf Drive Central, Destin Area, Florida North West, Florida, USA (We're located about 15 miles from the Okaloosa airport)

Welcome to our beach retreat! Check out our video in the upper left corner. We want you to experience our platinum level tropical retreat first-hand by vacationing in our beautiful three bedroom three full bath condo. My husband and I own, manage and clean this unit ourselves, keeping it immaculate and updated. There are no hidden fees. We live locally so are able to respond to any concerns immediately.

Our 12th floor West end corner unit, with a wrap around balcony, overlooks the Gulf of Mexico with its spectacular sunsets and the golf course of Seascape with Choctawhatchee Bay as a backdrop. Each of the three bedrooms has its own private bath and has been thoughtfully decorated to provide a relaxing, comfortable and fun retreat for your family and ours. The kitchen is fully equipped and the laundry room has a full size washer and dryer. There is comfortable seating for 12 with 8 at our community table and four barstools at the breakfast bar. You will also enjoy outdoor meals on the balcony with seating for 6.

Our brand new fitness room and video arcade is open for our guests. It is located on the ground floor near the elevators. There are several machines facing directly onto the pool.

Seascape Resort offers two beautiful 18-holes golf courses; one directly behind Ariel Dunes and Emerald Bay, just a mile to the west. Both courses are full-service facilities with a restaurant, practice range, rental clubs, professional lessons, and a pro shop. We would be happy to make tee times for golf, or court reservations for tennis during your stay!

We're excited about Ariel Dunes'"Cabana Cafe" newly opened across the breezeway from our lobby. It is a full bar/restaurant with a coffee bar, ice cream shop and bakery. Cabana Cafe even offers room service and a 10% discount to our guests. Live entertainment and breakfast and lunch buffets keep the place hopping. When it comes to good food and entertainment, it's only a short drive to the Sandestin Resort featuring the Village of Baytowne Wharf (great restaurants, shops and live music in the evenings and even outdoor movies)and Grand Boulevard. If it's shopping that is on your agenda, Silver Sands Outlet Mall is even closer (a three minute drive) or Destin Commons is always very popular (shops, restaurants, movie theaters).. And of course, there is always the water park and goofy golf at Big Kahuna's that the kids will enjoy.

  • This is a great property. Beautifully furnished, very well maintained, and ideal for our group of 8 (4 children and 4 adults). The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, the views were stunning, and the pools were great. The only negative was that we had to leave!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    It's a pleasure to have great people like you as our guests. Thanks for the compliments...we love to see you back at Ariel Dunes again soon!

  • Brenda, We had a wonderful time at your place. I travel for a living 2 weeks a month and have never stayed in a more comfortable place. I noticed so many small and big touches that there are too many to mention. The beds, fridge, balconies,pool, luggage carts, decorating, everything was 5 star.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thanks for the kind words, Doug and Trina. We strive to make our guests feel right at home. I'm so glad you had a relaxing and fun few days. Come back soon!

  • After 20 years of enjoying Destin, children now grown, wonderful grandchildren now, and in our 60's, to our family there is only one condo in Destin and this is it! Our trips will be planned with Brenda Meeboer, the owner, as she is so delightful. I feel as though I have made a new friend in my life. Her condo is so gorgeous, charming, immaculate and the view and pools are awesome. I truly thank you Brenda and Bill, as you gave me 2 weeks of memories and I will always be back with you. As I said, there is no reason to look elsewhere.Love, The Cassady's
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thank you, Anne, for the flattering comments. We loved having you and your family and you are certainly welcome anytime. We look forward to wonderful guests like you always! Brenda
