After a day in the sun, unwind in one of two spacious master suites—each with its own private balcony. One offers peaceful Gulf views, while the other overlooks the pool, giving everyone their own perfect retreat.

Step outside and enjoy private beach access with a charming gazebo, or take a short walk to some of the area’s favorite restaurants. Shopping, dining, and entertainment are all just minutes away.

Quiet and Beach Convenient

The three of us truly enjoyed our time at 16. Neighbors were friendly and helphul on where to dine affordably. Easy access to the private beach, which is a big plus. Pool swimmers were gone by 10pm. We recommend staying here.

Destin Trip

We loved our stay at Gulf Winds East. Quick communication with the host. The closest and easiest walk to the beach that we’ve ever had. The pool was always kept nice and clean. The other families at the condo were very friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Family Vacation Spot

This was the perfect spot for our family vacation - walk to the beach right across the street, or hop in the pool right out the back door. The home was clean and comfortable and the kitchen had excellent cookware which is always a big deal for me. I would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by shannyn

Host profile image
As a local real estate agent specializing in investment properties, I immediately recognized the potential of this listing. The key factor? LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.

Having lived here since the early 1980s, my family and I have witnessed the incredible growth in the area. There is truly no better place to live or vacation. As a family of five, we decided to invest in Gulf Winds #16 and Summer Spell Unit 203, drawn to their prime locations on Scenic Hwy 98, offering easy beach access—perfect for our kids

Why they chose this property

We chose to purchase this beach townhome because it’s the perfect place to escape from our busy lives. Although we live just minutes away, we see no reason to travel to other beaches when we have the best beaches in the world right here! Why go anywhere else?

Our townhouse is just steps away from Gulf Winds’ private beach access and conveniently close to Pompano Joe’s and Captain Dave’s, making it easy to enjoy lunch or dinner without going far.

What makes this property unique

Gulf Winds Townhome #16 offers easy access to a gated Gulf-front gazebo and private beach, a rare gem along Scenic Hwy 98. Situated in a peaceful section of Scenic Hwy 98, this location provides a laid-back beach lifestyle without the crowds. Enjoy wide sidewalks perfect for walking or biking along the beach. Guests at this beach townhome will have exclusive access to the private beach and gazebo, ensuring a tranquil beach experience with no crowds to worry about.
