5-Star Review: Exceptional Beach House in Destin, FloridaThis beach house in Destin, Florida, exceeds expectations with its stunning ocean views and luxurious amenities. The kitchen features top-tier Subzero appliances, ensuring a premium cooking experience. The adjacent pool is impeccably maintained, complemented by an integrated indoor-outdoor sound system that enhances relaxation throughout the property. Gated access to the clubhouse provides exclusive use of a well-equipped workout room and a spacious lap pool, among other facilities. David, the owner, delivered an outstanding walkthrough presentation, demonstrating professionalism and attention to detail. Highly recommended for a refined coastal retreat.

We had an amazing week at this beautiful property! You will have a fantastic view and lots of space to relax. The owner goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and understand how to operate the many extra features of this house. We had 7 adults, 1 teenager, and 6 children ages four and under. In our opinion, everything was absolutely perfect!

We had a fabulous vacation! This home is nothing short of perfect for your family vacation. David was the best host. He met us at the house right at check in and gave us a detailed tour-showing us how to use the sound system, the lighting and answered any questions we had. The house was equipped with everything we needed. Plenty of space for our large group. Comfortable beds, nice linens, very clean, easy walk to the beach and local restaurants. David was always quick to respond to any questions I had leading up to our stay and while we were there. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!

Great house, great location

As a family we have been doing beach vacations for many years. We have always done condos. This was our first time renting a beach house. We couldn’t have picked a better home. The house itself had every amenity we could hope for plus the location (and ocean views) were perfect. David is an excellent host. He met us our first day and gave a walk through which was very helpful. We had a great week and we’re already planning our next trip.

Beautiful Labor Day Getaway

My husband and I gathered our close friends and their children for our first non multi-unit condo Destin vacation, and we are never looking back! The peacefulness of having a place (particularly a pool!!!) all to yourself makes this property beyond worth it. The location can’t be beat - steps from the beach and The Crab Trap, plus just a short drive back west to the harbor or east to Baytowne Wharf. David was so easy to work with whenever we had questions or concerns. Don’t wait to book!!!

I cannot say enough about this house and the hosts! The house is incredible and easily accommodated our crew of 16. This was our 1st trip with 2 families and we cannot wait to do it again! The hosts were lovely and so helpful with anything we needed. Do not look at any other houses, this house is perfect in every way. The location could not be any better, the house made us feel like celebrities. The space allowed for everyone to come together, but also had a places to go if they needed alone time. We will be back!!

About the host

Hosted by David Dubiel Owner - White Sand Beach Properties, LLC

⚜️We have been coming to Emerald Coast/Destin with our 7 children since 1989. As you can tell we are very pro family! We purchased Fleur-de-lis for this reason! We needed space primarily bedroom and bathrooms for everyone to be happy including the spouses of our children and future grandchildren. We had a very difficult time finding a home near the beach with lots of bedrooms with views of the beach! We rented condos, homes and hotel rooms over the years from Navarre Beach to Santa Rosa Beach. We are very particular and family type owners knowing what Renters are looking for! After searching real estate properties for over 13 years, we knew we found the perfect place for our family vacation or long weekend getaways to invite our friends to the beach!
