About this property

FLIP-FLOPPIN FUN IN THE SUN...with 2 complimentary beach chairs & umbrella!!!

Come to Destin, Florida and enjoy the sugar-white beaches and emerald-green waters!

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 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.
There is Harbor Walk Village for shopping, dining, activities, deep sea fishing, boat rentals, jet ski rentals, pontoon rentals, dolphin cruises and much more.

If you love to shop, there is a huge outlet mall located about ten minutes away. If you are a golfer, there are several great courses nearby. Super Walmart is less than 2 miles away and there is also a Winn-Dixie right across the street from our condo. There are several shops and restaurants within walking distance too.

The Big Kahuna's Water & Adventure Park is less than a mile away that offers 40 rides and attractions.

The Track Family Fun Park has go-kart rides, kid rides, bumper rides, miniature golf, arcade and thrill rides.

Some of our favorite restaurants are: The Back Porch, AJ.'s Seafood & Oyster Bar, Tailfin's Ale House, Dewey Destin’s Seafood Restaurant on the Bay (a much see at sunset), Fudpucker’s Beachside Bar & Grill that have live "gators" and shows for the kids.

Fun places to walk to on the beach (and beach access only) for lunch or a drink:

---Rick’s Sand Trap Bar & Grill (west of the beach gazebo and located at Sandpiper Cove Condos) CASH ONLY.

---Pelican Beach Resort (east of the beach gazebo).

Another fun recommendation is to take “Destin Water Taxi” for a boat ride to The Harbor Village for dining, shopping, or dancing with the vicinity of the harbor. Look on their website for details.

Whether you are looking for a nice family vacation, a fun girl’s trip or a romantic getaway, Southbay by the Gulf is perfect for everyone!

So book your vacation today...put your flip flops on...come enjoy a relaxing time and have some fun in the sun on the beach in Destin!!!

See you soon!

Host profile image
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!
