This towering, three-story European beauty will take your breath with lavish use of travertine and stone, and rich, glowing wood throughout that provides unsurpassed elegance. The open concept living area and a well-appointed gourmet kitchen with an oversized island allows the group to gather and watch the meal preparation while catching up on the day’s activities. Overstuffed sofas and leather side chairs invite people to assemble for cozy conversations. There’s also a game area with a regulation-sized pool table. You feel as if you are cocooned in this area with the specially designed beamed ceiling. The formal dining area is so well-designed that while dining under the glistening crystal chandelier, you’ll want to linger longer over coffee and dessert for more intimate conversations. There’s a sizable balcony with beach views that adjoins this area for added dining alfresco options. A half-bath is also a convenient add-on for this level. Traverse the various floors with the in-home elevator and enjoy the ensuite bedrooms.
Too exquisite for words, enjoy the astounding sunrises and sunsets on the 2,000 square foot rooftop balcony where the most breathtaking panoramic views can be taken in. The space is designed for sheer luxury with numerous couches and dining options, a fire feature, and is complete with an outdoor kitchen. A convenient half-bath is also on this level. And you’ll be able to see how very close you are to the inspiring Gulf of Mexico, just across the street. These vistas are definitely not to be missed and will be remembered for a lifetime.
On the third floor, the primary bedroom suite is the real showstopper. The suite opens to a huge, private balcony with romantic beach views accompanied by the lulling sound of the rolling surf. There’s a definite Spanish influence in the sophisticated furnishings, and a warm and inviting seating area in front of the flat screen TV. The beautiful indoor fireplace is meant for visual enjoyment only and is not intended for guest use. The ensuite bath has dual vanities, a large shower, and a heart-shaped Jacuzzi tub. The third floor has a second laundry room and another king bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, walk-in closet, and TV with surround sound. And it’s hard to miss the extraordinary tray ceiling.
The first floor is perfect for a family. There are two bedrooms and a laundry room. The king bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, walk-in closet, and the TV has surround sound. The second bedroom has two bunk beds, twin beds on top and full beds on the bottom, and a flat screen TV.
Binge-watch Mother Nature put on her show from Vista Del Mare – Spanish for “the view of the sea at its best.” This luxury vacation rental is in the coveted Destiny by the Sea gated neighborhood. With four bedrooms and six baths, it comfortably sleeps 12.

Our vacation was excellent! The house was great and the surrounding area inside the community was charming and relaxing. We did have to fill the propane on the rooftop fire pit. The master bedroom Jacuzzi also didn’t work on one side. It was the perfect place for a family to relax, unwind, and make great memories.

Great location. Unfortunately the home was not clean. Carpets were disgusting, crumbs on floor between couch and end table. I would not rent this home a second time

Stayed here for a family vacation and the house is stunning. The beach is a few steps across the beach and entry was easy! All the pots and pans you could want you have and there are endless restaurants close by. Would stay here again!

Beautiful home, cleaning missed a couple simple things upon check-in. All sites for the rental said that the community pool was heated for that time of year. This was a very important factor for me when deciding where to stay as I have a daughter with eczema & very sensitive skin, she can’t swim in the ocean. To our disappointment, I had to watch her during the entire stay sit it out every time that we all went to swim. The pool WAS NOT heated. When I notified the rental agency they said I could heat it for 60. A day. Really?? I’m going to pay 60 a day for the entire community to use a heated pool? The home itself was gorgeous & perfect other than the lie about the pool. Housekeeping could have done a better job before we arrived. I would rent this beautiful home again, if the pool IS HEATED like promised.

Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding regarding the pool. You are absolutely correct that the community pool is not able to be heated, and it was an error on our part to suggest otherwise. We understand how important this feature was for your stay, and we deeply regret the inconvenience this caused, especially for your daughter.
Regarding housekeeping, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will address it with our team to ensure higher standards moving forward.
We are truly glad to hear that you enjoyed the home itself and would consider staying with us again. Please know that we value your experience and will work diligently to ensure accurate information and an exceptional stay in the future. Should you choose to return, we’d be happy to assist in making your visit as comfortable as possible.
There’s not more to ask for. This beautiful home was luxurious and perfectly located. We couldn’t be more pleased with the home or management company.

Awesome property. The architecture of this house is amazing. Prime location. The only downfall is the HOA not allowing your own umbrellas on the beach. You have to buy shade. But overall very good.

Reviewer Comments:
We had an amazing time. Everything was beautiful. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. The rooftop breathtaking would recommend this to anybody. The house was epic. The elevator was kind of scary, but it did help with the luggage and the groceries.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with both the property manager and the vacation rental itself. It’s great to know that the cleanliness, location, and overall condition met your expectations. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again in the future!
This home is amazing. It is only steps to the private beach, which was not crowded even in middle of summer vacation season. The home itself is magnificent—spacious, beautiful detail in every room, luxurious bedding, huge showers in all bathrooms, gigantic kitchen with upscale appliances, and cannot say enough about the balconies, including the incredible rooftop balcony. The rental agency was very responsive and helpful. One comment on the neighborhood, while the beach is only steps away, it is accessible only by stairs. There is no ramp. Just something to be aware of for folks with limited mobility, or those counting on the ramp to haul beach gear/strollers.
10/10 — can’t wait to stay again.

We rented this home for my wedding weekend. My fiance could stay on the first floor and I would stay on the third. When we arrived the first night, the AC unit on the third floor was not working. We suffered through the night. I called the property manager and they send two people out and by the time we left for the wedding, the AC was repaired on the 3rd floor. My fiance had to get a hotel. It was a horrible experience. We come to get married and are charged these type of fees, to have no AC on the 3rd floor for 2 out of 4 days of our stay. I have reported my concern with the property manager and now when I call, it goes straight to a messaging center and hangs up. This is so wrong and I need help with making this right! They literally ruined my wedding weekend. My makeup artist and stylist struggled to keep me together due to the heat. We finally had to ask my fiance to leave the house so I could change floors. I seriously need someone to contact me to make this right. The owner did not hold up their end of the contract.
