We have a 2-story condo that is fully furnished with all the necessary kitchen appliances, towels, linens & blankets. You have a reserved parking spot within steps from your front door and one additional parking, on first-come-first serve.
Our condo is located on the beach side of Highway 98 on a beautiful five-acre freshwater lake of where you can fish right off your deck or gazebo located on the lake. It’s just a five-minute stroll through Southbay's tropical paradise to the sugar-white private beach. We even provide beach toys and a wagon to make things easier to carry. Once at the beach you will be provided with 2 beach chairs and umbrella (March-October). There are two adult and two kiddie pools (one heated...February to Mid-April) within walking distance. You never have to cross a street to get to the beach or pools! Shareable BBQ grills are located on the common grounds for your use. There lighted tennis and pickleball courts, which includes shuffleboard as well. (Shuffleboard equipment is located at the main office).
Our condo has 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths on the first level that were fully renovated (2022). Each bedroom is furnished with a flat-screen TV. The master bedroom includes its own deck with a covered ceiling that overlooks the five-acre freshwater lake with a spectacular view!
The second level has a spacious living room and complete dining area which was renovated in 2021. Enjoy watching a movie on the 65” Smart TV with free cable. Walkout onto the upper deck and enjoy the beautiful sunsets, sitting and sipping at an Adirondack table that seats 6. Grab your fishing pole and try to catch a bass or maybe a snapping turtle that are waiting for you in the lake! The fully equipped kitchen has ceramic floors and granite counter tops. It includes an updated half bath that was fully renovated in 2023 and not to forget...a washer and dryer for your convenience.
We have several floating devices, boogie boards and plenty of sand toys. For your convenience, there is an air-hose to blow up rafts, tubes, and beach balls (located behind the tennis and pickleball courts on the south side of the lake).
Southbay by the Gulf is located in the heart of Destin right off Highway 98 and for the most part is within 5 miles of tons of fun for everyone.

Fun places to walk to on the beach (beach access only) for lunch or a drink:
---The Sand Flea Beach Bar, located at Sandpiper Cove, which is west of our gazebo at the beach.

Kevin, hope you had a great time and glad everything was within close range for you. Always nice to hear this from our renters and we thank you for your stay, as well as the nice review. Hope to see you soon!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The 5 minute walk to the beach wasn't bad, and even on a holiday weekend, it wasn't super crowded at the beach. The best part was that we could see fireworks from the deck!
We enjoyed the rental place, it was clean, had a great view on the balcony and had a private beach.The location was awesome, it was close to many restaurants and other attractions. Would definitely recommend staying at this place.

Audrey, we appreciate the very kind review and love the recommendation for others to stay. Hope to see you soon!
The property is absolutely beautiful and the beach access is perfect. We had everything we needed for our stay, and the communication with Lynda was easy. This place is beautiful 10/10
We really enjoyed this location for our first stay in Destin! There is a quick walk to the beach. There were not a lot of people on vacation during this time, so it was not crowded and very relaxing. Mrs. Lynda was very helpful and only a phone call away. We only walked for coffee and breakfast, but it is walking distance to some other great spots. The condo is set up just like the pictures. It is equipped with everything you will need. I will come back and I hope to stay here again! The beach chairs are a plus! I don’t have small children so only needing my 1 bag and book was very helpful. Each day our chairs were set up and waiting for us! This is as such a relaxing and soul refreshing trip!
Lynda was an outstanding host, extremely flexible with our check-in and check-out times, responsive, friendly in communication, and very helpful. The home is meticulously clean and situated in a peaceful location.

Kristina, we are happy to hear you had such a great experience. Thank you so much for leaving a great review. Hope to see you soon!
Check-in was easy. Her instruction on how to enter the property and codes to get in the condo, pool area, and gate to walk across the bridge were explained and easy to understand. Condo was clean and very comfortable. We loved the chair and umbrella service on the beach that came with the room. Very cool views at night from the 2 balcony’s. The location of the condo was close to everything.
Super cute condo and we enjoyed the stay! It’s within walking distance to quite a few restaurants and shops. The beach was an easy walk and having the chairs and umbrella there was a big plus! The owners are very responsive and answered all my questions very promptly! Thank you!!!
Stay was amazing. Condo was super beautiful in and out. Clean as could be. Lake is so nice when it’s lit up at night. Loved sitting on balconies, the patio sets are great. About 5 minutes walk to beach, which is the nicest around. Chairs and umbrella were set up every morning for us. Plenty of places within 10 minute walk of the room. Condo was decorated amazingly! Will definitely be back again.

Kurt, we are so glad to hear you and your family enjoyed your stay at our condo, as well as the extra perks included in your stay. It sounds like your family had an awesome time and hopefully made some amazing memories together. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
We had the most wonderful stay at this property in Destin! The location couldn’t have been better—just a short 5-10 minute walk to the soft white sand and emerald-green water. The home was spotless on arrival, with everything we needed for a comfortable week: fully stocked kitchen, comfy beds, and plenty of towels (including beach towels, which was a nice touch). We loved being close enough to walk to local restaurants and shops- target and Winn Dixie/publix across the street and food close by as well. Parking was easy, and check-in/check-out were completely seamless thanks to the great communication from the host.Our family of three (including a teen) had plenty of space to spread out. The community pool was sparkling clean, and we appreciated the quiet, relaxed vibe after a day at the beach.We will absolutely be booking this property again next time we’re in Destin—it truly felt like our home away from home!
The condo is very nice with everything you need to make for a good vacation. Conveniently located to everything (restaurants,shops, grocery). Our host was excellent and we’ll be booking this condo for our next trip to Destin.
This was in great location, pet friendly, and a short walk to the beach. Property was properly described and exceeded expectations. Our family of five wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Great place & location
We loved our stay at this property. The location is ideal - very close to the beach and harbor walk, surrounded by shops and restaurants. The town home was very clean and fully equipped with everything you might need. We would come back to this place and also recommend it to a friend.

Nicely renovated townhome in a small, friendly community that was pet-friendly. We enjoyed time on both decks, and there was plenty of space for our family of 4. Overlooking the lake was unique, and the walk to the beach was short. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a fantastic stay here! We ate breakfast outside on the deck every morning over looking the lake and watching the turtles play. The beach was beautiful, the beds were comfy, location is centrally located on the main road. Communication was outstanding and honest between host and us! Great experience!

About the host
Hosted by Lynda Tanner (Contact #1) Vickie Byrom (Contact #2)
Lynda and I own the condo, along with my husband. We have been "crazy" best friends since 4th grade and grew up together in St. Louis, Missouri.
Lynda moved to beautiful Destin, Florida in 2001 and I started coming down with my family and staying at Southbay by the Gulf since 2002.
Because we both love Destin, the emerald- green waters and white sandy beaches, we decided to buy a condo for rentals at Southbay by the Gulf in 2016.
Whether you are looking for a nice family vacation, a fun girls trip or a romantic getaway, Southbay by the Gulf is a perfect fit for everyone!
So schedule your vacation today...put your flip flops on...come enjoy a relaxing time at our condo and have some fun in the sun on the beach in Destin!!!
See you soon!
