The Sunset Lounge | Beachfront Condo in Destin’s Low-Density East End
The Sunset Lounge offers a different kind of Destin experience.
Located at Jetty East on the quiet East end of the island, this beachfront condo sits in one of the lowest-density areas in Destin—away from the crowded high-rise zones. The result is a noticeably calmer, more spacious beach environment with direct views of the Gulf and the unique East Pass, where boats move in and out of the harbor throughout the day.
This is where guests come when they want Destin without the congestion.
What Makes This Location Stand Out? ~Private Beach, Not Overcrowded Shoreline ~900 feet of private beach — significantly more space than most Destin properties ~No public access directly in front of the resort ~Easier to find your spot, even during peak season
Low-Density, East-End Setting ~Fewer buildings, fewer guests, less noise ~No long elevator waits or packed pool decks ~A quieter, more relaxed pace compared to central Destin
East Pass Views & Activity ~Watch boats, dolphins, and harbor activity from your balcony ~One of the most unique waterfront perspectives in Destin ~Consistently strong sunset views over the Gulf
The Condo
Designed for comfort with thoughtful upgrades that make a difference:
~Sleeps up to 4 King bedroom with premium linens Queen sleeper sofa in living room ~Private balcony with direct ocean views ~Smart TV, blackout curtains, sound machine, and added bedding comfort ~Full bathroom stocked with essentials
A clean, well-appointed space that works equally well for couples or small families.
Kitchen & Living ~Fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops ~Keurig coffee maker with starter pods ~Full cookware set and kid-friendly dishware ~Dishwasher, oven, microwave, and full refrigerator
Everything needed for short stays or longer, more comfortable trips.
Family-Friendly Without Sacrificing Comfort
Unlike many one-bedroom condos, this unit is set up for families:
~Pack ‘n Play (bring your own bedding) ~High chair ~Beach toys ~Safe dishware for younger children
Traveling with kids is simple and practical here.
Resort Amenities (Without the Crowds)
Jetty East provides full resort amenities in a more controlled, less chaotic environment:
~Large heated beachfront pool (2,400 sq ft) ~Hot tub with Gulf views ~Tennis, pickleball, and shuffleboard courts ~Fitness center with yoga mats ~Gated property with 24-hour security
What Your Stay Feels Like ~Mornings: Coffee on the balcony watching boats pass through the harbor ~Afternoons: Beach or pool without competing for space ~Evenings: Sunset views in a quieter, more relaxed setting ~Nights: Minimal noise compared to high-traffic resort areas
Location Advantages
You’re close to everything, but not surrounded by it:
~3 miles to HarborWalk Village & Crab Island ~2 miles to Big Kahuna’s Water Park ~4 miles to Henderson Beach State Park ~Easy access to restaurants, charters, and shopping
Ideal For ~Couples looking for a quieter beachfront stay ~Honeymoons and anniversaries ~Small families who want space and convenience ~Guests who prefer a more relaxed, less crowded environment
Why Guests Choose This Over Other Listings
Most Destin condos offer beach access. Very few offer space, privacy, and a low-density setting.
That difference is what makes The Sunset Lounge a repeat destination for guests who want a better overall experience—not just a place to stay.
Book The Sunset Lounge
If you’re looking for a beachfront stay that feels calmer, less crowded, and more enjoyable than the typical Destin condo, this is it.

Loved our stay! The host was very accommodating and wonderful to work with. Our room was clean, comfortable and family friendly. Hard to beat the sunsets on the balcony overlooking the harbor. I’ve stayed at many resorts in Destin but this is by far my favorite!

We had a great stay at the Sunset Lounge / Jetty East. The place is super clean and comfortable and perfect for couples. The balcony view of the Harbor is amazing, day or night and the private beach is awesome. The Host is very responsive and will provide local information for the Destine area. Can’t wait to come back. We’ll definitely book here again

You guys were great, you’re welcome back anytime. Glad you loved the recommendations too! Safe travels home guys.
We stayed here to celebrate my daughters 26th birthday. The condo was in excellent condition and the pool was relaxing and clean. The short walk to the beach made it possible to go several times a day without packing up the house. I would recommend this to any small family group. We will definitely be back.

Hi Patty, thank you so much for the review. You guys are great. Visit us again anytime
Access to both the unit and the beach could not be faster using the south elevator. Condo is fully equipped with all kitchen essentials as well as home comforts. Sunset views from the balcony made the trip. Leonard was a great host! Looking forward to our next booking with him - Michael and Macy

You guys are the best, we loved hosting you. Congratulations again on the engagement. Visit us again anytime, hopefully after the wedding!
Jetty East room 404A. Exceptional! The access, amenities, staff and as a bonus the weather set the stage for an absolutely perfect extended weekend (4 days) with my wife celebrating our anniversary and her birthday. The view of the gulf was partially block and yet what we could see was still amazing both during the day and especiallyat night. The communications with the host mr. Leonard was flawless. Timely and with support that was above and beyond. We had all of the accessories to cook meals and actually did breakfast every day. We absolutely look forward to staying here again in the future. This room was a one bedroom suite and met our every need. Thanks again for the Exceptional support.
