Vacation

The property was exactly what i was expecting from the pictures. Nothing misleading. I was not disappointed with anything. The house was clean and comfortable. The beach was just a short and convenient walk. I appreciated how this unit was on the end as it made parking right infront of our unit easy and private. The private beach and chair/umbrella set up was wonderful! I will never book another stay without that! Mrs. Belinda was super sweet and easy to communicate with. I will definitely consider this unit again 🌞

Great townhouse, great location

We loved our stay, the townhouse was equipped with everything we needed, and the location was great. Close access to the beach, loved that is was private beach access that was something we were looking for when renting. The beach service was a extra added thing that we used every day. Check and and check out was seamless. The one bedroom with the bunks worked perfect for our kids, the master doesn’t have bunks but maybe that’s something they could add later that would be a added plus? It still had plenty of room with the couch downstairs. We look forward to staying here again. Thank you!!

Amazing Stay

This place was amazing. The home was beautiful and clean. The layout and sleeping arrangements were perfect for our 3 adults and 3 children. The beach was so convenient and the chairs and umbrellas being provided was such a huge plus. Parking was very easy, as this unit is at the end of a line of units. I definitely recommend this place!

Spring Break 2022

The property is super close to the beach (closer than the map depicts). House has tons of windows and lots of natural light. The townhouse is very updated, beautiful decorated and clean. The closet is stocked with tons of beach toys, very nice chairs, and 2 umbrellas. I recommend this townhouse - it was very nice.

Fall Break Beach Vacay

Gulf Winds 43 DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! We had a wonderful Fall Break getaway at the beach. The condo was amazing and Belinda is a wonderful host! The location is perfect with such a short walk across the street to the most beautiful sand and water. Bedroom layout with queen bed and bunks in one room was great for family with children. 5 STARS!!!!! We will be back for sure!

About the host

Hosted by Belinda Rossi

Host profile image
Hi, we’re Belinda and Tony!
We’re from North Alabama and fell in love with Destin long before it became the sought-after vacation spot it is today. Since 2003, we’ve been sharing our little slice of paradise with guests who are drawn to the Gulf’s sugar-white sand and sparkling emerald waters—perfect for unforgettable beach days.

When we’re not enjoying live music, traveling, or playing tennis, we’re making sure everything is ready for your stay. It’s our joy to welcome you to Destin and help you create memories that last a lifetime.

Why they chose this property

Ideal Location
When searching for a semi-retirement home, location was our top priority. Gulf Winds East #43 checked every box. It offers the tranquility we crave while still being conveniently close to all the amenities we need.

This home provides ample space for us to relax during our extended stays. Its thoughtful layout is perfect for hosting family and friends, ensuring everyone has a comfortable place to unwind and enjoy their visit.

A private beach access was a must-have for us. With exclusive access, we can savor the sand and sea without the crowds—giving us the peace and privacy that make this truly feel like our home away from home.

One of our favorite features is the beachside gazebo. It’s become the perfect spot to watch breathtaking sunsets, where memories are made and cherished for years to come.

What makes this property unique

Private Gated Beach Access and Beachside Gazebo: Enjoy access to an uncrowded, serene beach, perfect for sunbathing, swimming, or a leisurely stroll. The beachside gazebo provides a picturesque setting for relaxation or enjoying a beverage with a view of the ocean.

2 Primary Bedrooms with KING Beds: Each of the primary bedrooms is designed for ultimate comfort, featuring plush king-size beds, an ensuite bath and elegant decor to ensure a restful night's sleep.
