About this property
9th Floor Beach Front Condo Tides @ Topsl
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& UPDATE: May 2026
We wanted to make you aware of some recent changes at TOPS’L Beach & Racquet Resort that may affect your stay.
A new company, Secret Sauce Brands, recently acquired and began operating portions of the TOPS’L Resort and Club facilities under a new management structure. As part of these changes, new policies and restrictions have recently been implemented for certain privately operated resort amenities.
Unfortunately, we were only informed of these changes on May 22, 2026, and had no advance notice that they would be implemented during the current guest season. These decisions were made solely by the new commercial entity managing the TOPS’L Club amenities and are not associated with, controlled by, or directed by us or The Tides Association.
At this time:
• Beach access is through the walkway located between the Beach Manor and The Tides buildings. • The Blue Dunes Grill restaurant is no longer accessible; however, there are many other nearby beachfront dining options available walking distance.
We believe these changes are temporary in nature and will likely be resolved soon through ongoing negotiations between the new restaurant operators and the TOPS’L Master Association.
The TOPS’L Master Association is also working to provide alternative guest amenities during this transition. Beginning June 1, food trucks are expected to be scheduled on-site so guests have convenient dining options within the resort. An ice cream truck is also expected to begin daily visits to the property.
Guests will still have access to: • The beach • The Tides exclusive pool • Putt-putt • Basketball • Shuffleboard • Pickleball courts • Beach chair service through Dolphin Beach Services (fees apply) • The SunLine Shuttle service (fees apply)
We completely understand that these changes may be disappointing or frustrating, especially for returning guests familiar with previous access arrangements. We wanted to communicate these updates proactively so expectations are clear and there are no surprises during your stay.
Thank you again for your patience and understanding as these unexpected changes unfold. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
***You must be at least 25 years old to rent with us*** *** MAXIMUM OCCUPENCY SIX (6) ***
Have a party on the extra large balcony overlooking a breathtaking view of the Gulf.
The Master Bedroom has a king sized bed with flat screen TV/DVD, a large jetted Jacuzzi tub and large shower. The guest bedroom has a Queen and a twin bed, walk-in closet, chest and flat screen TV/DVD with full bath.
The den has a large, comfortable pull-out couch and armorer with a stereo, 35' TV and DVD player.
Family outings can be planned with many places to go for fun. At nearby Baytowne Wharf you will find great formal and casual dining, shopping, concerts and just hanging out near the water.
ABOUT TIDES>>>>>
At The Tides @ Tops’l. If you’ve never made your way to Tops’l you don’t know what you’re missing. This place has everything. Beautiful beach. In fact rated best by Southern Living. And if you can’t trust them who can you trust. Incredible views. Close to golf.
The Tides are part of Tops’l Beach & Racquet Resort which is smack dab in the middle of 52 beautifully landscaped acres bordered by the Gulf of Mexico and by Topsail Hill State Preserve. WOW! There’s 600 feet of private, sandy white beaches. There’s a ton of stuff to do here, with the daytime activities and nightlife of neighboring Sandestin and other noted communities to the west, and a nature preserve for quiet and solitude to the east. Tops'l provides the best of both worlds.
At tides you will have many wonderful amenities such as free wireless internet, pools, tennis, pickleball, community grills, basketball, putt-putt, nature trails, and many kids programs. Also, tops'l hill nature preserve is upon a national historic registry spot (next to beach manor on tops'l resort) where usa military tested captured German v2 buzz-bomb rockets there in 1944.
And if that weren’t enough, Silver Sands Outlet Mall, one of the largest in the US, is less than 5 minutes away. Sandestin's popular Baytowne Wharf is just across the street to the west with shops, excellent restaurants and entertainment on the bay. Concerts on Wednesdays and family movies on Thursdays are popular family outings on the lawn at the Wharf. Sandestin's recently developed Grand Boulevard Town Center, nearby to the east, has upscale shopping and many excellent restaurant options. There’s so much to do here you won’t be able to fit it into a week’s vacation. So stay two! That’s what I’d do.
Please note no canopies or tents are allowed on TOPS'L Beach. Beach service is not included.

We had a great vacation. The balcony was very spacious with a nice view of the ocean and the inland. The condo was roomy, clean, and well decorated. It was a very nice place to stay.
This place was perfect for our family vacation! Very clean and organized, beautiful property, plenty of activities, amenities were great, and close to the ocean! We'd definitely go back

Hello and thank you for your feedback.
I am planning to update patio furniture when I visit later on this year. The unit is fully booked until Fall, so by the time you visit us again next year, there should be a new set out there as well.
Thank you again for your feedback

The accomodations were as advertised. Improvements could be made in the overall cleanliness of the condo, sheets, floors, bathtubs, shower curtains, etc.
Response from VrboOwner on Apr 4, 2020
I apologize for any inconvenience you may have had during your stay at the Tides 910. We are in the process of changing our cleaning crew and there appeared to be some confusion. Upon your next stay at the Tides 910 I will give you one night free (minimum of 4 nights total). We should have the problems worked out by then and everything should be in good order.
Our unit was exactly how described and pictures showed. Pool and beach access is easy. Along with use of Pickleball, tennis and half court basketball courts. I would recommend renting the umbrellas and chairs. Yes, the water was emerald green!

This condo complex had everything we needed to have a great week. Everything was as described and had just what we needed to stay comfortable. The mini golf was better maintained then some courses we’ve paid for. Being able to try out shuffle board and pickle ball was a highlight for our family. Rain or shine we spent most of our time at either the pool or the beach. Wonderful location for either going out to eat or having food delivered.

Condo is conveniently located within driving distance to multiple restaurants and shopping centers, and right outside of the hustle and bustle of being in the center of Destin during vacation months. Perfect spot for adults (adults with a few children) looking for somewhere affordable to stay. Unit was very clean and stocked appropriately. Between that and the multiple amenities offered by the condominium, our group would 100% stay again. Communicating with our property manager was easy and he responded almost immediately. Overall a 10/10 in my book.

It was our first visit to Topsl. The property is uniquely located at the end of the Destin strip which provides a bit of privacy not normally found at the beach. Despite being the 4th of July, the beach was not crowded and it was family friendly. The condo was clean, roomy and as advertised. We rented beach chairs and umbrellas which made the visit even more luxurious as we didn't need to haul equipment back and forth to the beach. We did not avail ourselves of the pickleball or tennis because we got such nice beach weather. The fireworks for the 4th were an unexpected surprise. Our host was responsive to my questions and helped us navigate some Wifi issues upon arrival. Easy check in and check out process. Overall a very nice weekend and we will be back.

This condo is on the 9th floor of the Tides building in the Tops'l complex. The condo is exactly as pictured with a semi-obstructed view of the Gulf (it is a BEAUTIFUL view!). This complex is perfect for families - there is onsite mini golf, shuffleboard, tennis, pickle ball, basketball half court, pool, and tiki bar/restaurant. This beachfront property makes beach access easy. A mere steps from the pool area. This is our second year staying at the Tides in March for Spring Break and we plan to go back again. This owner was incredibly easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions.

We're so happy you and your family enjoyed your stay! We look forward to hosting you again next time!
This condo is much nicer than what the picture depicts. Very spacious and the balcony is big. We were pleasantly surprised after making a last minute vacation decision and not alot of choices left. I loved this location as its the last resort to the east. Its not as busy and congested but still close enough to everything you need. The white sand beach and beautiful water tops it off.
If I could make one request, it would be to have smart tv’s, these are outdated. Even though we are there to be outside enjoying the beach and ocean, we did have some rainy times and one kid was sick for a few days. Limited channels with no streaming capabilities. This is not a deal breaker but for the money it cost to book for a week, this is an inexpensive upgrade.
