Paradise at the Palms Overlooks the Gorgeous Pool deck with a Gulf View!

Welcome to our Paradise at the Palms! My husband and I were high school sweethearts and have been married for 37 years. We live in Iowa now but have lived in many places throughout our marriage. We bought this beautiful 2nd home at the Palms of Destin in 2021. We love having such a beautiful and relaxing place to stay when we come to visit and we wanted to share it with others to enjoy and we hope you love it as much as we do!!
We are an Air Force family! My husband retired from the Air Force in 2008 (which is why we lived in many different places)but still works on the base as a contractor. Our daughters husband is in the Air Force stationed here in Florida and our son is in the Air National Guard and he is stationed in Omaha, Nebraska.
We love to travel (seems like that is mostly to see our kids these days) but we also love to camp and go boating here in Iowa. We also restore old cars and have 1 each - mine is better but he will tell you that his is! I work for a large insurance corporation- and also manage our condo. I make barn wood signs in what little spare time I have as a hobby - which you will see a couple in the condo that I made specifically for the beach! We are very active and love to have fun and try to enjoy every day to the fullest!

We have put a lot of time and effort into making this a comfortable place for you to call home while you are here in Destin to include a fully equipped kitchen, charging stations, pool and beach towels, beach wagon, various pool and beach toys and Smart TV's.

The Palms of Destin has a coffee shop on site. It is a very nice spot to gather, relax and enjoy a good cup of coffee or Danish with family and friends in a fun atmosphere. It also has a full restaurant and an indoor/outdoor sports bar with nightly entertainment - many live entertainers, karaoke, and bingo nights during peak season. Check the schedule upon arrival. There are also TV's to watch your favorite sports while enjoying great food and a nice beverage. The outdoor patio offers cornhole and other outdoor games for you to enjoy during your stay. It is located just off of the pool deck so you can either walk up and order your food and beverage OR you can order right from your lounge chair next to the pool and it will be brought out to you. They also have room service and will bring your order to your room.
If you did not rent a car - no problem - there are so many things right here on site for you to do! AND if you forgot something, there is a Walmart and other shopping within walking distance!

My husband is retired Air Force and we are very proud of that and for all that have served. We would like to offer a 10% Military Discount off of the nightly rate (not the VRBO fees, cleaning fee, taxes, or resort fees since we do not have control over those). If you have a valid active-duty military ID or a valid retiree military ID - Send an inquiry ahead of instant booking and let us know so that we can thank you for your service.

There are parking spots close to the entrance, cart corrals at every entrance and on every level of the parking garage for you to use while loading and unloading upon arrival and then once you are all moved in, you will park in the parking garage.

Although this resort is not directly on the beach it is within walking distance or there is a complimentary air-conditioned shuttle to take you there daily during peak season. Check schedules upon arrival during non-peak for schedule. Centrally located in Destin and within walking distance of Walmart and other shopping and restaurants. 3.6 mi = Harbor Walk, 6.3 miles = Outlets, 1.5 miles = Big Kahuna Waterpark, .5 miles = Henderson State Park

There are a few social media pages that will provide quite a bit of great information based on others experiences here in Destin. Many people who have been here will post good and bad things that they encountered during their stay and also provide tips and tricks for others that are planning on coming to the area. It also has other folks that have not yet been and that are asking questions to help them in planning their trip - many of the same questions you may have. They are "Let's Talk Destin" or "Destin and the Emerald Coast" Check them out on FB.
