Masterfully designed and beautifully rendered this opulent Gulf front retreat exemplifies privacy & serenity characterized by soaring palm trees and mature landscaping primely situated on one of the largest beachfront lots in the prestigious guard gated community of Destiny by the Sea. This estate style home was beautifully inspired by mediterranean-revival architecture reminiscent of Palm Beach and Naples while also offering a mature coastal palette that exudes comfort and class. The lush gardens in the walled courtyard entry provide an unparalleled sense of arrival offering tropical foliage juxtaposed exotic date palms anchored by a private south-facing lagoon-style pool and sizable pool deck, providing immense privacy while enjoying endless views over the Gulf of Mexico.

The courtyard entry opens up to the outdoor kitchen, private beach walkover and south facing deck which serves as the perfect entertaining space overlooking Destiny by the Sea's private beach access.The main foyer entryway offers dramatic double height ceilings and pristine natural lighting from a wall of windows beautifully illuminating the grand spiral staircase which is the focal point of the room. Beyond the foyer is a sizable in-home movie theatre offering handsome decor and adjacent to the private elevator, powder bathroom and full-size laundry room. The main living area occupies the south portion of the first floor and was primely positioned to take full advantage of sweeping gulf views through a wall of floor to ceiling glass windows situated at an elevated vantage point which allows full line of sight to the waves crashing on the sandy shoreline. The chef's kitchen is well equipped with custom wood paneled cabinetry, beautiful granite countertops, Sub-Zero fridge, gas range cooktop and a spacious pantry. The gulf front dining room is adjacent to the formal living area and is anchored by a media console, gas fireplace and wet bar, all of which flows seamlessly onto the rear covered porch which spans the length of the home offering stunning gulf vistas and ample outdoor lounge space.

The second level features four oversized king bedroom suites each with it's own ensuite bathroom and well equipped with custom window treatments and direct access to the covered reach porches to soak in endless gulf views. The master level is located on the third floor and is easily accessible by the grand staircase as well as the private elevator while offering a spacious office suite complete with gulf views as well as a guest bedroom that overlooks the lush courtyard. The master bedroom is a true retreat offering 180 degree water views from a wall of windows and is well equipped with an oversized walk in closet, master sitting area, private covered porch, finely built media center as well as a spa like master bathroom with dual vanities, soaking tub, walk-in shower, laundry station and water closet. Other notable features include an oversized two-car garage with built-in storage space, finely appointed furnishings throughout as well as custom drapery & window treatments providing optimal comfort and immediate use. This grand marquis is a true sanctuary located in the heart of Destin, Florida overlooking Destiny by the Sea's 3,000' of private beach frontage. This luxurious escape is secluded yet convenient to world class commercial amenities including Legendary Marina, Destin Commons, WholeFoods as well as fabulous local restaurants, boutique shopping and local entertainment.

The house was very nice. Family of 12 stayed and house was very roomy, especially the dining room and living room which flowed together for a very open concept. Pool was very nice to have. Rode the bikes to the very end of Scenic Hwy.What I would recommend to the owners is to have a “Karma” area in the pantry. Where people leave and take non-perishable items. A “Take an item leave an item”. We had to purchase everything like coffee filters, paper plates, plastic wrap, etc.. There was nothing there. obviously we had lots we could of left for next renters.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re thrilled the home was spacious and comfortable for your family and that you enjoyed the pool and bikes. We also really appreciate your suggestion about a “take an item, leave an item” pantry, it’s a great idea and something we’ll certainly share with the owners. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

The Grand Marquix is a beautiful beachfront property. We did have a few issues however. Door handles were broken on the main deck doors so we were unable to use or lock them. The side door was the same way. Luckily the garage door and pool gate could be locked for better security. We also had windows in one of the top bedroom which were open and unable to shut. The maintenance man was able to fix that as well although the windows need to be replaced. Handles no longer work. We did have an hvac issue on the 2nd floor as well which was fixed the very next morning. The technician was very knowledgeable. We would definitely stay there again but were disappointed by the issues with the property.

We truly appreciate your patience and your willingness to return, and we’ll be addressing these items to ensure a better experience next time. We hope to welcome you back soon!

Being beachfront adds so much to the trip and the views from every window were just spectacular. We stayed during March madness and the theatre room brought so much joy to my family! The house suited us perfectly we had 3 generations and having the 3rd floor oasis for us “old folks” was perfect.

Liked: Check-in
House has a lot of potential, but there are a lot of issue that need to be fixed. Back sliding door to the main level balcony handle fell off, and was loose for the duration of our stay. This door wouldn’t lock either. Multiple interior doors would not shut completely or latch. Crumbs from previous guests were evident on every floor. Multi doors were extremely dirty, looked as if they had never been wiped down. Echelon leaves welcome packets, coffee and filters. The filters are the wrong kind for the coffee makers on hand. For the price of this rental, I expect to have zero issues. Second floor a/c stopped working twice, maintenance came and got it running, but never fixed the issue. 2nd floor bathtubs had no hot water. Kitchen had/has no dish towels, dishwasher was loose, tipped when you would open or close it. We were told that someone was going to meet us at check in from echelon to answer any questions and go over things with the house. No one ever showed up, elevator didn’t work at first, someone did come to get it working, but this shouldn’t have been a thing. East window in the living room leaked and the window on the 3rd floor leaked when it rained. Not sure if it’s the owners not caring or the property management that doesn’t care. Very disappointed in the quality of this rental. Price definitely doesn’t reflect the expectations.

Overall the property and amenities were fabulous. The neighborhood does have some strict guidelines, but nothing that would prevent me from booking again. AC unit on first floor kept breaking down the last couple days, but again, dumb luck. If you are looking for a luxury stay on the beach, this is it. You will not be disappointed.

Fabulous Week at the Beach

This was the ultimate beach vacation for our family. The house was magnificent, and had plenty of room for our family, siblings, and grandparents. Everyone appreciated the elevator. We had 4 little ones with us all under the age of 3, and the home included a high chair which was very helpful. There was also the option to have the outdoor pool heated during our stay, and this was perfect for the kids to swim even in late October. The home is furnished very nicely and the kitchen was well equipped; we ended up cooking most of our meals there during our stay. Highly recommend!

House was as advertised. Great location and accommodations for a family get together. The layout was perfect and the house was clean and very well maintained. It was clean, comfortable, and very well appointed. There was nothing that needed to be done to make this a better trip, location, or accommodation. Property manager was reachable and responsive. Would not hesitate to book this property again if staying in the area. Anyone booking this property should feel secure in knowing they booked a great one. Well done.
