About this property

Beachfront · Steps to Private Beach · Kids Pool · Gated Resort · Courtyard


Wake up to ocean views and walk straight onto your private beach—no crowds, no stress.
Let the kids play in the pool and courtyard below while you relax on the balcony, then walk to dinner, drinks, or nearby attractions—no car needed.

This beachfront 2BR/2BA condo sits in a quiet, gated low-rise boutique resort—no crowded high-rises, no long elevator waits, just a simple, relaxed beach experience.
Unlike many units, you’ll enjoy a top-floor location with better views, more privacy, and easy access without the noise of larger buildings.

Just steps from the sand, you’ll have a private beach, kids pool, large pool, tennis courts, and a huge 1-acre courtyard where kids can safely run, play, and burn off energy while you unwind just steps away.

In the evenings, enjoy live music, s’mores nights by the pool, and relaxed nights where you don’t have to plan a thing.

There’s even a beach pub on-site, so grabbing a drink or snack is always easy.

One of the biggest perks—you’re right across from Big Kahuna’s Water Park and The Track, making this one of the most fun and convenient locations in Destin.

You’ll also have complimentary beach chairs, umbrellas, and gear—no rentals, no extra cost, no hassle.

The condo comfortably sleeps up to 8 with a king master, two queen beds (perfect for kids or groups), and a sleeper sofa. The large private balcony offers dining and lounge seating with views of the pool, courtyard, and Gulf—perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks while keeping an easy eye on the kids below.
It’s the kind of place where mornings start with coffee and ocean views, and evenings end with a drink and a breeze off the Gulf.

Inside, everything is set up for an easy stay—comfortable beds, fast WiFi, smart TVs, and a fully stocked kitchen so you can settle in right away.

Fantastic property that was clean and well stocked. Communication with the property manager regarding minor issues (no trash bags) was quick and she even had trash bags delivered to our door within hours! I would absolutely stay here again.

Great location, condo so-so

The location Is great. The beach is great. The condo is so so. The Internet was not reliable, it would work for 30 min then cut off for 30. There isn’t a washer or dryer in the condo, you have to take your clothes to a laundromat that is on premises. We had issues with the smart thermostat but we got that resolved. Most of the overhead lights/fans are remote controlled which we had issues with but had them resolved. Communication with the owner wasn’t exceptional either. This condo cost more than comparable condos in the same facility. Overall we had a good time but I wouldn’t recommend this peticular unit.

Response from VrboOwner on 15 Sept, 2025
Hello, and thank you so much for staying with us and for sharing your feedback! I’m thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our oceanfront location and the beautiful beach- it's truly one of the best parts of visiting Destin. With its stunning emerald waters and soft, white sands, there’s really no place quite like it! I know that getting acquainted with the Nest thermostat and remote fans can be a bit challenging at first, so I’m glad we could help you navigate those to ensure you were comfortable. Most guests are familiar with Nest and smart thermostats, but we are always here to assist over the phone if help is needed and respond to all guest messages within minutes. Regarding the internet troubles you faced during your stay, they were due to a Florida storm knocking out some local fiber lines. Thankfully, the crews were quick to address the issue (in less than 2 hours), and we were back to the fastest and most reliable fiber Wi-Fi connection! While our condo doesn’t have a washer/dryer, our gated resort offers a fantastic private laundry room with over 30 machines! It features a coin machine and laundry supplies for just a quarter and is open daily from 8 AM to 10 PM. It’s a super handy feature for guests to get laundry done while enjoying the white sand private beach and free beach service that we offer! Destin has so much for anyone to enjoy beyond the beach, from delicious seafood restaurants to exciting water activities and breathtaking sunset views. We truly appreciate your choosing our place, and would love the chance to host you again. There’s always more beauty to explore here, and we hope to welcome you back soon! Warm regards, Ellie & Team LPH

Outstanding stay! Our party of 6 adults, 3 teens, 2 toddlers, & 1 dog fit very comfortably. Hosts were attentive but not intrusive. They left a very handsome welcome basket & we love the cozies! House rules were clear & reasonable (i.e. no shoes on the light-colored carpet, strip beds & start a single load of laundry before checkout). Location was unbeatable with the park & playground across the street & several restaurants within walking distance. Parking for our 5 vehicles was free & no problem! This was one of the best-equipped rentals we’ve ever stayed in. The kitchen had sharp knives, good utensils, & enough pots/pans. The pantry had more spices than you’ll know what to do with & there was nearly every small appliance you can think of. There were also enough paper products (toilet & paper towels) to last our entire family for the duration of our stay & longer. We travel with a “go box” that we’ve built up with items we’ve needed to go buy after arriving at the short-term rentals & we used very little of it this time! The patio was outstanding! The hot tub, fire pit, & BBQ were all functional & the setup was perfect for a couple meals up there. The single recommendation would be more towels! There were enough towels for each of us, so no shortage! But it would have been great to have a few beach towels for the hot tub. Obviously not a deal breaker (we’ll add a few to our go-box) & we’d definitely love to book this property again! Thank you Morgan & Alex!

About the host

Hi! I’m Ellie, based in Columbus, Ohio.

My kids are 7 and 10, and we’ve been coming to Destin for years. I fell in love with Silver Dunes and LPH from the very first day—it just felt easy, relaxed, and perfect for families.

I’m also a full-time property manager and have been hosting in Destin for the past 5 years, so I understand what makes a stay run smoothly from start to finish.

I’ve put a lot of care into creating a stay that’s simple, comfortable, and easy to enjoy—so you can arrive, settle in, and just enjoy your time together—and I’m always available if you need anything before or during your stay.

Guests consistently rate this condo as one of their favorite places to stay, and many families return year after year.

I hope this becomes one of those special places your family looks forward to visiting again and again.

What makes this property unique

Arrive at LPH and instantly feel your worries melt away. LPH is Destin’s hidden gem—a low-rise, gated beachfront oasis where families can truly unwind together. From the moment you arrive, the sense of peace, comfort, and simplicity is unmistakable.
Tucked inside Silver Dunes, LPH lets you trade chaos for calm—no crowds, no endless elevator lines, no packed lobbies. Instead, you’ll find space to breathe and room for your family to make memories, starting the moment you set down your bags.

The thoughtful layout is perfect for families: the courtyard, kids’ pool, and main pool are all close together and easily visible from your balcony. Kids can play freely while you stay close by, never feeling disconnected.

Step out and sink your toes into soft, sugar-white sand—your private beach is just moments away. And when hunger or thirst strikes, the on-site beach pub serves up easy snacks and cool drinks, so you never have to leave the sun or the laughter behind.

Summer evenings here are magical: families gather for movie nights under the stars, roast s’mores by the pool, and dance to live music. These effortless, joy-filled moments create the kind of memories your family will talk about for years.

Even when the air turns crisp, the adventure doesn’t end—our heated pool welcomes splashing and laughter well into spring, long after other pools are closed for the season.

LPH isn’t just a place to stay—it’s where family traditions begin, and where you’ll want to return, year after year, to relive the magic with the people you love most.
