A Refined Coastal Retreat, Thoughtfully Designed for Families
Welcome to our beautifully reimagined two-story, 2BR | 2.5BA Gulf-view penthouse at Silver Dunes, a private, gated beachfront community in the heart of Destin.
Designed by the owner, a former Ralph Lauren designer in New York, our home was created for families who want both elegance and ease. Thoughtfully renovated and curated as our personal home — not a high-turnover rental — it blends elevated coastal design with the practical details that make traveling as a family feel effortless.
From layered textures and original artwork to carefully selected furnishings, every detail reflects a home created for meaningful time together.
Sleeps 7 | King + Full-Size Crib | Queen + Full + Twin | 2.5 Baths
Private Beach Access — No Roads to Cross
Step outside and walk through Silver Dunes' lush, manicured courtyard directly to our private beach — with no streets or public roads to cross.
The courtyard is part of what makes Silver Dunes so special. Unlike Destin's crowded high-rise resorts, this low-rise beachfront community offers an expansive green lawn where children can actually run and play.
Enjoy morning coffee overlooking the Gulf, bocce and lawn games in the afternoon, or seasonal Movies on the Lawn under the stars.
The community is gated with nighttime security for additional peace of mind, and seasonal beach service makes days on the sand even easier.
Travel Beautifully — Without Overpacking
Traveling with children shouldn't mean bringing half your house with you.
Our residence includes a fully appointed nursery and thoughtful baby and child amenities rarely found in an elevated vacation rental:
• Full-size crib with organic cotton sheets & liners • Additional pack and play • Umbrella Stroller • Dedicated changing table • High chair & booster seat • Bottle maker & bottle warmer • Toddler non-slip bath mat, Baby bath seat & bath toys • Curated beach-themed bedtime books for children of all ages • Baby & toddler toys • Puzzles and games for children and adults • Family essentials thoughtfully placed throughout the home
Whether you're bringing your baby to the beach for the first time, traveling with young children, or hosting grandchildren, we've tried to anticipate the little things that make family travel easier.
Pack less. Worry less. Enjoy more.
A Layout Parents Will Appreciate
Our two-level layout offers something surprisingly difficult to find in a two-bedroom beach condo: both connection and separation.
The bedrooms are upstairs, creating quiet retreats away from the main living areas below.
Put the kids to bed, head downstairs, pour a glass of wine, watch a movie or spend the evening together without feeling like you have to whisper because they're sleeping one room away.
It's one of our favorite features of the home — and one that parents especially appreciate once they're here.
Something for Every Age
Within the private Silver Dunes community, guests enjoy:
• Large resort-style swimming pool • Separate baby pool • Private beach access • Expansive beachfront lawn • Small arcade • Basketball courts • Tennis courts • Pickleball • Shuffleboard • Seasonal family activities • On-site laundry facilities
From sunrise walks and afternoons at the pool to lawn games and sunset swims, there is something here for every age and stage.
Designed to Feel Like a Home — Because It Is
The fully renovated interior reflects a refined coastal aesthetic — light-filled, serene and meticulously maintained.
But what matters most to us is how the home feels.
✔ Owner-managed with personal communication ✔ Designed by a former Ralph Lauren designer ✔ Furnished and cared for as our personal home ✔ Original artwork and thoughtfully collected décor ✔ Intentionally equipped for babies and children without sacrificing style ✔ Designed for families, couples and multi-generational vacations
We want you to feel as though you're staying at a friend's beautiful beach home — not another bland vacation rental designed to turn guests as quickly as possible.

More Than a Vacation Rental
Silver Dunes has been part of my life since I was born.
My parents came here before me, and although I've moved 23 times in my life, this was the one place I returned to year after year. It has always felt like home.
Now, I get to watch our own children make memories in the same place — running across the lawn, playing with other children, swimming, searching for shells and spending long days together on the beach.
After becoming a mother, I also realized how difficult "vacationing" with young children can actually be. So when we had the opportunity to create this home, I wanted to combine my background in design with everything I had learned traveling as a parent.
I wanted it to be beautiful enough that the adults felt like they were truly on vacation — and thoughtful enough that parents could actually enjoy being on one.
This is not simply a place to stay.
It's a place to gather, slow down, celebrate and create the kind of family traditions that bring you back to the same place year after year.
We would be honored to have our home become part of yours.
Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement
I didn't just choose this neighborhood—I chose the place that has always felt like home.
What makes Silver Dunes so special isn't just the beautiful beach—it's the community. Nearly everyone we meet has a story like ours. Families have been returning for generations because this place has a way of becoming part of your family's traditions.
Unlike many larger resorts, Silver Dunes feels peaceful and personal. The low-rise buildings mean the beach never feels overcrowded with endless rows of chairs, and the private beach access makes every trip to the sand easy. The gated courtyard becomes a gathering place where kids play wiffleball, spikeball, football, and make new friends while parents relax nearby.
Throughout the summer, the community hosts family events like live music, movies on the lawn, s'mores nights, and holiday celebrations that bring everyone together. It's the kind of place where neighbors become friends and vacation traditions are passed down from one generation to the next.
To us, Silver Dunes has never been just a vacation destination.
It's our home away from home, and we're honored to share it with your family.
Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique
Before starting our family, I moved to New York to pursue fashion design. Design has always been part of who I am. But when I came home and became a mom, that passion took on a new purpose. I knew I wanted to create something that made family vacations easier, more beautiful, and more meaningful.
Traveling with young children was, without question, the hardest kind of travel we had ever experienced. Every rental brought new worries—forgotten essentials, unsafe spaces, sleepless nights, and the constant feeling that we were living out of suitcases instead of actually relaxing.
I wanted to change that.
My goal was to create a home where parents could truly exhale. That's why you'll find a fully stocked nursery, high chairs, bath toys, books, toys for every age, flexible sleep arrangements, beach gear, and so many of the little things that make traveling with children feel manageable.
But I didn't want it to simply be practical.
I've stayed in too many vacation rentals that felt empty—where everything beautiful had been removed because it might get broken, and where the kitchen had only the bare minimum. I wanted this home to feel warm, inviting, and lived in. People told me I was crazy for decorating it this way, but I believed guests would appreciate being treated to a space that felt like a true home.
The kitchen was designed for gathering, not just cooking. It's stocked so families can prepare meals together without wishing for one more pan or serving bowl. The living spaces were intentionally created so everyone has room to spread out, play games, laugh, and simply enjoy being together.
If an afternoon storm rolls in and keeps you off the sand, I don't want you counting the hours until the sun comes back out. I want you to love being here. I want the memories made inside these walls to be just as meaningful as the ones made on the beach.
This isn't just a vacation rental.
It's the home I spent years dreaming about creating for families like yours.
