The house had everything we needed and more! The beds were very cozy and spacious. The pool and hot tub were beautifully landscaped and never crowded! The community was perfect for us. It seemed to be all families, no rowdy spring breakers. We also loved the proximity to shopping and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

This place is absolutely incredible!

This property is truly a wonderful property to rent. The owners are extremely attentive to all guest needs and the place itself if spotless and provides the utmost comfort and space for larger groups. It provides a very close walk to the beach or a shuttle ride and honestly, it’s just really cute with the neon sign wall and decor rations. I would highly, highly, highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a good time!

Spring Break with the Kids

Had a great week at the house with our family of 3 kids! Easy walk to the pool, which was perfect for the kids. The house was super clean, beds were comfortable. We stayed just our family, but it would be very comfortable with another 1-2 families. Amazing beaches just 10 minutes down the road, or a short walk down the street (although the public beach closest to this house is very small). Go with friends, family, the grandparents. It's a great option in Destin if you're looking for beach and pool time with your crew.

Family Friendly Stay and Play!

Our family of five had a very enjoyable time staying at the Tiki Time property! Gregg and Michele were wonderful hosts that supplied everything we needed in their home and were exceptionally quick in responding to any questions we had throughout the week! The property is in close enough of a walking distance to the pool that even our 2.5 year-old was able to happily walk it (as I carried our 8 month old baby). Said pool was thoroughly enjoyed by all three of our kids! Our 7 year-old was able to swim for weighted toys, our 2.5 year old was able to safely walk out to wading height fun from the zero entry end of the pool, and our 8 month old had the best time sitting at the edge of the zero entry and happily splashed and explored the water! We loved that the community was gated and there was an entrance at opposite ends of the community. We chose to rent a golf cart from an outside vendor and were able to have it delivered and picked up for a small fee. Having the golf cart made for easier and more fun trips to the beach and nearby restaurants! Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would recommend to anyone considering their stay here!

The house and location was safe and amazing for our larger family vacation of 10 people (6 adults and 4 kids)! The house is so close to restaurants, beaches, and shopping. In addition, the neighborhood pool was wonderful for adults and kids with the zero entry. There were a few times that we needed a couple of things/had questions and the owners were so responsive and kind. Would highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Gregg & Michele

Host profile image
We've been married for over 30 years with three amazing kids and a deep love for travel, dogs, and game days. Over the years, we've visited nearly all 50 states, and somewhere along the way, our passion for travel turned into a passion for hospitality. Today we own properties from South Bend to Florida and Tennessee. Every one of them started with a family memory — from a childhood spent under the Golden Dome of Notre Dame to family trips where we fell in love with each town and its people.

We believe the best memories are made when families slow down and just enjoy being together in a beautiful place. That's what we create — clean, beautifully decorated, well-stocked spaces where you can escape the chaos of everyday life. Whether you're chasing sunsets over the ocean, breathing in mountain air, or tailgating before a big game, we want your stay to feel like a true getaway. We're hands-on hosts with a service-first mindset, and nothing makes us happier than knowing our guests left feeling rested, reconnected, and ready to come back. We can't wait to welcome your family to one of our homes.

Why they chose this property

Happiness Comes in Waves
There is something about waves that slows time down. The noise fades. The to-do list disappears. And for a few days, all that exists is warm sand, emerald water, and the kind of deep exhale I didn't realize I needed.

The beach is my happy place. I feel that every time I'm here. There's something about the sound of the water and the weight of the salt air that makes the chaos of the world fall away completely. Tropical Tides is close enough that on a quiet morning I can sit on the balcony and hear the waves a couple of blocks away. I love this house because it's built for groups who want to actually be together — shared meals, lazy beach mornings that stretch into afternoon, late nights with nowhere to be.

Whether you're here to build a family memory that lasts for years, or you simply need a few days to breathe, Tropical Tides has a way of giving you both.
We hope you find what you're looking for here. The beach always delivers.
