Searching for the ideal property for your beach getaway, event, or gathering?
Do you need...
...sleeping for 20+ people?
...one of the largest private (seasonally heated between October 1 and April 30) pools in the heart of Destin’s Crystal Beach?
...ocean views (even from the driveway)?
...beach access just steps away?
...a huge outdoor, private entertaining and grilling area?
...8 bedrooms of which 7 are king suites with private full baths (including 3 first floor king suites)?
...a separate pool house with a second kitchen and living room to create a separate living space?
...a central location to Destin’s best shopping, dining and entertainment?
...a completely “turnkey and ready-for-fun setup” including a 2021 six seater golf cart, and 2 paddleboards?
If that’s your checklist, then it sounds like you may be searching for Epic!
Epic was designed from the ground up as a private retreat for large groups who wanted to be ridiculously close to Destin’s sugar sand beaches. In fact, it’s only 255 steps (less than 1 minute) from Epic’s front door to toes-in-the-sand!
Or, hop in Epic’s brand new six seater golf cart to explore the six neighborhood beaches as well as Destin’s largest public beach...all of which are within less than two blocks of Epic.
Hate traffic? Us, too! No worries with Epic. Destin Commons, the area’s premiere shopping, entertainment and restaurant complex (complete with an Imax theater, a massive Bass Pro Shop, and plenty of shops and restaurants) is right across the street from Epic’s neighborhood.
And for those who need to shop-till-ya-drop, Silver Sands Outlets (the largest name-brand outlet mall on the Emerald Coast) is only 4.5 miles away from Epic.
We know that your large group has special needs. That’s why Epic has so many solutions for your group’s comfort and convenience:
Do you have senior family members or mobility-challenged members in your party? Built in 2015, Epic is ADA compliant and offers three first floor master suites as well as first floor living, kitchen and pool access with no stairs to ensure that all family members are included in your newly minted memories.
Need a completely self-contained separate house for elderly group members, or so that multiple families can have their own kitchen and private areas, or so that the kids can have their own space? Epic’s pool house offers a full kitchen, living room, king suite and bunkroom/playroom that will be perfect for your situation.
Need a space that is large enough to have an event where everyone can gather ‘round? It’s unlikely that you’ll find a larger pool and private outdoor entertaining area that is closer to the beach than Epic’s.
Does everybody need a bit of privacy and a bit of elbow room? We understand. That’s why Epic features 7 spacious king suites with private full baths, plus a full bunk room and hall bunk.
A central Destin property that sleeps 20+ with a (seasonally heated between October 1 and April 30) pool this huge that is this crazy-close to the beach can be very difficult to find. Reserve your Epic vacation or Epic event soon! Openings for this property never last long!

We had such an amazing stay here. The house was beautiful, clean, and incredibly spacious. There was plenty of room for our entire group to relax comfortably. Every bedroom had a large, cozy bed, and we never felt cramped at all. The pool was amazing, sparkling clean, and the perfect spot to unwind after the beach. Speaking of the beach, the location truly can’t be beat. It’s just a short walk and you’re right on the sand. We had everything we needed and more. Would definitely stay here again!

Thank you for the 5 star review of Epic, Brie! We're happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed the spacious layout, private pool area, and super close beach access so much that you would definitely stay at Epic again! We'd love to welcome you back to the Emerald Coast anytime!
We stayed at Epic with our children and grandchildren, 19 people and plenty of room. The pool and area around it was large and very clean, we spent lots of time there as the beaches were at double red flag for 4 days. Played games in the pool house in the evening as there seems to be more room for that. All rooms were clean and large, beds were comfortable. Owners were very responsive with minor issues and communication was great. Golf cart was nice to have for coffee runs and shuttling stuff to the beach. Everyone enjoyed the visit, no complaints.

Great concept but poor maintenance
Although the concept of this home is great with en suite bathrooms in each bedroom, the maintenance was terrible. Many many lights were out in both the house and the pool house. Neither icemaker worked in either refrigerator, the furniture in the den was terrible and had old covers over them nothing like the pictures. The property manager was nice to work with and came to our aide when the air conditioner was broken in the pool house, but the overall maintenance of this house leaves much to be desired.

Thank you for the review of Epic, Ramona. While we have not had any other guests mention issues with the furniture or lights, we appreciate your perspective. We wish you would have said something about the issues that you had during your stay, as we would have been happy to resolve those issues during your stay, as we did with the AC repair. We wish you the best.
