The Surf Shack | Private Beachfront Condo in Destin’s Low-Density East End
Not all Destin condos offer the same experience.
Welcome to The Surf Shack at Jetty East, located in one of the lowest-density, least crowded stretches of Destin’s coastline. Positioned along the East Pass where the Gulf meets the harbor, this area offers noticeably more space, less congestion, and a calmer beach atmosphere than the high-rise sections of Destin.
If you’ve stayed in Destin before, you’ll immediately notice the difference.
What Sets This Property Apart: True Private Beach Experience 900 feet of private beach — one of the largest in Destin No public beach access directly in front of the resort More space to relax without overcrowding
Low-Density Location Situated on the quieter East end of Destin No rows of high-rise condos or packed shorelines Easier parking, shorter wait times, and a more relaxed environment
Unique East Pass Setting Views of boats entering and exiting the harbor Ideal location for fishing, dolphin sightings, and sunsets A setting that feels more private and less commercial
This is a different kind of Destin stay — quieter, more spacious, and more enjoyable.

Close to Destin’s attractions, but removed from the busiest areas:
-3 miles to Harbor Boardwalk and Crab Island -2 miles to Big Kahuna’s Water Park -Short drive to restaurants, shopping, and excursions
Ideal For -Couples looking for a quiet beachfront retreat -Families who want space and a less crowded beach -Returning Destin visitors seeking a better location -Guests who prefer a calmer, more private environment
Why Guests Return
The difference is the setting.

Leonard is amazing! Great communication and was able to provide me an extra night last minute when my travel plans changed. I’ve stayed in several Jetty East condos and this one was right on par with the rest. Clean. Great view of the gulf on a wind protected balcony that’s gets lots of morning sun.

My family had a wonderful stay at the Surf Shack! Leonard was a gracious host and the property was just as good as the photos show. The view of the Gulf of America from the balcony was amazing to wake up to each day. This was just the escape we needed from the Midwest winter. Thank you again for everything Leonard!The Petersen's

Our hosts were so helpful, and responded promptly to anything we may have needed or asked about, including recommending a great restaurant for us to try. Out of the dozen times or more that we’ve been to Destin, this was hands down the best place we’ve ever stayed. Will definitely be back soon!

The stay was pleasant. A great view from the balcony. Proximity to the beach was accurate as described. Proximity to all other restaurants and entertainment was close. Leanard was kind enough to check in via messages now and then. I'd recommend the property to all! A great host and a great property on VRBO at Destin. Over all the stay was memorable and would go back anytime.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this property, condo and the owner! Perfect for a couple to get away and relax. Balcony view with coffee was amazing! Watching the kids at night search for crabs simply wonderful! We also looked cooking on the grills at the pavilion! Super close to the beach easy elevator ride back to room. The owner responded quickly and had amazing contact skills. We will most definitely book again as our stay was super lovely and felt like home away from home!

Beautiful & Relaxing Beach View Condo!
The Surf Shack was so comfy and tastefully decorated and the beach view from the balcony was so close to the beach! It was so fun to get up, sit on the balcony and watch the boats coming out & returning to the pass each day. We saw dolphins & fish each morning too. We especially liked the close proximity to the elevator and easy walk to the boardwalk to the beach. Lots of thoughtful touches were there in convenient locations (like cute trays and baskets to put your small things in). We found there to be PLENTY of unpacking storage for 3 people (4 day trip). The host was so helpful and responded quickly. I would give this host MORE than a 5 star review for our experience if I could! We loved the palm tree wallpaper and LOVED taking pictures in front of it on the couch. We made wonderful memories at the Surf Shack and hope to get back there soon!

The view of ocean and full moon from the balcony was awesome. The water was a beautiful turquoise at the beach. The beach was well maintained with little seaweed accumulation. Pool was very nice. The condo was clean and no bugs. The size was adequate for two persons. There was a beautiful bouquet of flowers upon arrival. The elevator broke on the first day but was repaired in short order. Not really a problem for us but the bedroom fan and light did not have a switch to turn them on and off. They were controlled by the chain pulls on the fan. Also, we were unable to stream to the bedroom TV. It was not connected to the internet. All in all, a nice place and good location. Leonard was very helpful as well. Thanks!
