“Lakeside Beach House” is a beautifully renovated, airy 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom 2-story townhome in Destin. The interior is JUST UPDATED (Jan 2024) with new flooring (no carpet), fresh paint, coastal furnishings, bedding, and new artwork. For those who need to “catch up on a little work,” there is a dedicated workspace in the living room. Calming lake views are enjoyed from the shaded private master deck and the sunny upper-level deck.

"Lakeside Beach House" is child-friendly; however, no pets, please.

Recently furnished is a new king-sized bed in the master bedroom with a soothing lake view from the sliding glass doors onto the privately furnished lower deck. The master bedroom has a private full bathroom. There is a smart TV in the master bedroom.

A twin-over-full bunk bed makes up the guest room with another smart TV. The décor is delightful and makes guests feel at home! A full bathroom is just outside the door.

The sun-filled living room has a sofa and loveseat for kicking back and relaxing comfortably. The living room also has a HUGE Roku/smart TV - so remember to bring your Netflix/Amazon Prime/streaming credentials with you on your trip. With ample living room seating and two outdoor spaces to enjoy, there is more than enough room for everyone to settle in at "Lakeside Beach House."

This privately owned townhome’s kitchen is fully equipped for meals! A combo coffee pot/coffee pod machine is available for our guests.

"Lakeside Beach House" is located in Destin in its own little neighborhood that includes 2 tennis courts, pickle ball courts, two pools, one seasonally-heated, a kiddie pool, a catch-and-release lake and…. a PRIVATE BEACH! The beach is a short stroll away, just over the beautiful footbridge, close enough to get there easily but far enough away to escape the hustle and bustle of beach life. The entrance to the beach and back to the property are gated and locked. Walk out the front door and head in any direction toward fun and entertainment! Destin’s famed Harborwalk (where you’ll find activities, restaurants, and boating charters) is only 2 miles away.

The owners take great pride in providing the types of amenities they look for when traveling. You will find everything you need to cook, grill, relax, and enjoy your vacation, including a full-sized washer and dryer in the unit, power stations on each nightstand, bathroom amenities, extra beach chairs, a pack-n-play, and a booster seat for your use. Cleanliness is critical to a guest's experience, and we employ the most highly-rated housekeepers in the area.

Fantastic family vacay

We had a wonderful family vacation! Owner was very helpful and responsive to questions. The house was perfect… Short walk to the beach, access to 2 pools, walking distance to restaurants and shopping. We loved feeding the turtles from the balcony! The washer and dryer were a very nice perk. We hope to visit again!

Perfect location 👌

We enjoyed our stay and the beautiful lake view. We ate on the deck everyday overlooking the lake (both morning & night). The beach was a few steps away from the house, umbrella service made it super easy to enjoy without schlepping tons of stuff with us. The townhome is centrally located with stores and restaurants all within walking distance.

Wonderful stay in Destin!

My family and I had a great time staying in the Lakeside Beach House! The location was great, an easy 5 min walk to the beach or pool! The townhouse was in a quiet little community and had everything we needed for the beach - beach wagon, boogie boards, sand toys, and chairs! We hope to come back sometime soon!

The perfect home away from home!

This place had everything we look for when traveling! The location was fantastic as it's a short walk to the beautiful sand and water, it had a fully stocked kitchen for anything that we needed, and such an amazing host/manager. I can not say enough about the manager and the host of this property, any issue that came up, they were right there to answer any questions and help. My family felt very comfortable here and we are already looking forward to coming back.

About the host

Hosted by Donna

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Donna! I am a busy business owner who likes to dip her toes into new adventures all the time. This is my latest venture because I LOVE Destin and I adore "Southbay by the Gulf."

Why they chose this property

I have been coming to "Southbay by the Gulf" for many years and I have tons of friends here, so it just made sense to buy my first Destin property at Southbay.

What makes this property unique

Two private decks, views for days, a private beach.... need I say more?
